I wonder if the same "Christians" that are criticizing President Trump spend as much time praying for him as they do criticizing him. I have read in 1 Timothy 2:1-3 how that praying for those in authority is to be done by Christians and that this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our...
Some writers will refer to those that wrote a "book" of the Bible (like Genesis, or the Gospel of John) as it's author. This can be misleading. They might even give that person credit for the way the book is written, like saying "John decided to use the number seven several times in his...
I put a prayer request on the CF prayer wall regarding an upcoming on-line discussion.
I have put an update on my request, and said I would post what the first evolutionist to respond had to say, and my response. I am feeling good about how this has started, with the first four responders...
To those that are considering becoming a Christian, or have already become one but haven't grown in the faith much, let's consider some basics. My four year old granddaughter prayed on her own to receive Jesus as her Savior last night. She is 300 miles away from where I live in Vegas, but her...
I have been transferring blessings to people here on CF as a way of trying to encourage people, or as a token of appreciation of something they have posted. Blessings adding up for me have no real value to me. I am not going to use them to upgrade. I don't get any sense of satisfaction in...
I came across this poem in the discipleship material I put together to use in group discipleship classes when I was pastoring a church, and just checked on the Net to see if the author was indeed unknown, and it told me they were. So I am going to share it with you here below, but before I do...
As I considered no longer being involved with CF, Jeremiah 20:9 would be a verse that could describe my reason against this. "Then I said, I will not make mention of him (God), nor speak any more in his name. But his word, was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was...
I awoke this morning with CF and Mark 1:17 on my mind. What do I want to accomplish with spending time on CF? "And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers (not debaters) of men."
2 Timothy 2:2 then came to mind: "And the things that thou hast heard of...
I have recently been disillusioned with this "The Christian Forum" website, as it has so many conflicting people writing conflicting blogs and comments on it. Therefore I stopped reading the blogs. Yet now I see it as just a microcosm of our world, which is a bigger picture of conflicting...
When I first came on CF I would see that "alert number" of all the blogs I hadn't read yet, and want to read them and get rid of that number, or get it way down.
Lately, I have just let that number rise to 76. I am reading very few blogs currently. The division among the writers/responders...
Have you ever seen those maps (at a zoo, at a mall, at a national park, etc.) that say "You are here! and then have an arrow point to your location on the map? Sometimes we need to find out where we are. Sometimes we just find it interesting to see where we are. Have you ever thought about...
In Genesis 15:5 the LORD tell Abram "I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward." Is this not true for all the children of God that place their faith in Him? Was it only true of Abraham? If we were to live our lives with the thinking that God was our protecting shield, would He then...
In the "Messianic Perspectives" magazine, Nov-Dec 2015, p. 11, Andrew Wilson of Kings Church in Eastbourne, England gives an answer to the supposed discrepancy of Mark 2:26.
The Pharisees questioned Jesus why His disciples plucked corn on the sabbath day. Jesus replied by citing the story that...
I have a number of Bibles that I own, but only one that I use a lot. I love that Bible. I memorize out of that Bible. I read through that entire Bible each year. I write cross references into that Bible (as I have done other Bibles in the past). I meditate and talk to God while using that...
Father, God, You know all about Yourself. You know how great You are. I don't have to tell You for Your sake, except for the praise and worship You are due. I have to tell You for my sake, as a reminder to myself of how great and deserving You are. You are perfect in every way, therefore...
Calvinists have their doctrines I don't agree with. Armenians have doctrine I don't agree with.
Charismatics have doctrines I don't agree with. Catholics, Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, etc., etc., have doctrines I don't agree with. There are things that some Baptists will say, some...
Father, my bad choices of how to respond to CF, has gotten me down lately. That is my fault, not CF's. So, I am changing how I will spend time on CF. Instead of reading all those blogs that people think so differently on, and then interacting in the differences, I am going to turn my...
This is the third, and final blog that I am moving from one of my 5 blog categories to another.
As I read about President Trump giving the commencement speech at Liberty University here in 2017, and about the interview later regarding him, the university, and Jerry Falwell. It reminds me of the...
This is the second of three blogs I am moving from one of my 5 Blog Categories to another.
As I write, it is Easter morning, 2017. Many people will say today "Happy Easter." Many others, though less in comparison, will say "Happy Resurrection Day." What may come to mind with the first is...
This is one of 3 posts I am moving from one Blog Category of mine to another to reorganize that Category.
On the eve of this 4th of July I wanted to share something with you that recalls some real fireworks, some real bombs bursting in air. I will give you the link at the end of this message...
