Using that logic I could make any Scripture say anything I want it to say. Big difference between tempting to sin and testing for purity.

Great points Razare! It is also interesting that when Abraham was told to sacrifice Issac - how old were they? Abraham was something like 110 years old? Issac was a young man - maybe 21? What 21 year old couldn't resist an old man like Abraham? Issac willingly submitted himself to his father -...

So I am preparing a series about the life of Abraham and would love to revisit this classic WoF teaching to garner some feedback and discussion: Question: WHY DID GOD TEST ABRAHAM? God creates the world (Gen 1:2) God places man in dominion over that creation (Gen 1:28) Man commits treason and...

Hello everyone, I haven't been in here for a while - but when I need prayer I know what group to turn to. For those who do not know me - my wife and I have been pastoring for 20 years now and we have 2 beautiful teenage daughters (17 & 13). We have been raising them by faith with strong...

I dont want to come across as harsh here... but several of the statements you have shared that this couple said to you are dripping with doubt, fear, unbelief. While it may be understandable to all of us when they question "Where is God? If He isn't answering Jesus' prayer..." while in the...

This is great news and something to shout about! Thanks for sharing!

This is a mouthful. Thanks AA! :thumbsup:

Its strange that there has been very little reported about this anywhere. Even on the Capp Ministry website there is nothing.

Roberts Liardon posted on his Facebook page that Charles Capps went to Heaven this past Sunday - but I can find no confirmation about this anywhere. Anyone else heard this?

Just finished reading a great little book about the Holy Spirit. "Plain Papers on the Doctrine of the Holy Spirit" by Dr. C.I. Scofield. He wrote it in 1899 to clear up confusion about the Holy Spirit. Very clear and systematic presentation for all believers! In it he says, "One can look...

"Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt rest: that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and the son of thy handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed." - Ex 23:12 KJV The word "refreshed" is the word "naphash" and it means: "to be breathed upon; refreshed as if by...

Most see this as the glory of Eternity - as spoken of a few verses earlier in vs 18.

In Isaiah 55:8-9 the Prophet tells us that "God's thoughts are not our thoughts". I have heard numerous Christians use this as an excuse for why they don't understand something God is doing - or worse - as an explanation for bad theology. YET - in 1 Cor 2:16 Paul tells us "We have the mind...

Wow... Speechless... :prayer:

Hello everyone - thanks so much for the great wisdom that was shared here. After some time off and some more great counsel, I feel much better. While making a stand as a Christian (Pastor or not) can be very taxing in our world today - it is the realization that you are not walking through it...

I have been a pastor at various levels of church life for 17 years. Some of those years have been filled with occasional good moments - people getting saved, healed, changed. But most of them have been extremely difficult years. Im tired of trying to get people who love their sin - to...

I've been looking for a good one on Job for quite some time - so interested on what others have to offer here.

Welcome aboard friend. :) In my opinion - Charisma magazine has taken several steps backwards over the past couple of years. Most of their posts/articles seem to be about making excuses for why so many Christians are sick - broke - defeated. Here is an example - posted on their facebook page...

Awesome! :thumbsup::amen:

I believe the Church has gone from one extreme to the other. Sure - it can be argued that, historically, the Church has been judgmental and harsh when it came to people living in sin... There really is no excuse for treating a sinner in harsh unforgiving ways. So many parables of Jesus...
