Today is July 18th, and this just may be a "special day" for me. This may be a day of "transition" for me, as far as being on "Christian Forums". I thought I was going to use the "prayer wall" for this, but after reading the intended purpose for that, which is prayer requests and responses, I...
I have found myself reading less and less of the blogs on this site, but I just came across a line in a blog of one of my favorite writers on this site. "the only anger that is justified is when we are angry at the injustices suffered by other people." Now that sounds good, sounds...
If you have ever read a Gideon's Bible, you may have come across these words:
THE BIBLE contains the mind of God, the state of man, the way of salvation, the doom of sinners, and the happiness of believers.
Its doctrines are holy, its precepts are binding, its histories are true, and its...
As I was listening to my pastor teach on 1 Peter 3 this afternoon, I kept thinking it would be good to share it with CF. The disharmony I have been seeing on CF is in direct opposition to what 1 Peter 3:8 says, "...be ye all of one mind..." I know that is impossible with the various kinds of...
Ephesians 4:26 "Be ye angry, and sin not; let not the sun go down upon your wrath:"
Ok, Lord, it is only noon, and I am going to stop being angry. I am not going to hold on to this until sunset, let alone afterward through the night. I have been angry (without sinning, I believe), ranted on...
It seems to me that I have been on CF for a long time, and yet it has only been a little over three months!! I have been blessed, and have been told that I have been a blessing. As I continue to read some other blogs, I am grieved this morning that so much time and effort has been put in by...
[Staff edit]
If God has gone to all the trouble to remove our sins, with the Second Person of the Trinity leaving His home in heaven, to be born then laid in a feeding trough, live a virtual life of poverty, sweating blood in dread of becoming the world's sin bearer, be ridiculed, spat upon...
Jesus "The Branch"
There is more than one verse that refers to Jesus as "The Branch". In Zec 6:12 it says "Behold the man, whose name is the Branch; and he shall grow out of his place and he shall build the temple of the Lord." I used to wonder why He was called "The Branch". Imagine the...
I just heard a song on one of the threads here saying "I'm only human, don't put the blame on me." We have heard the first part of this phrase a lot, as well as "We are all human, we all make mistakes." Yes that is true, but let's not use that as a cop-out or as an excuse, setting us up or...
Replies on CF are limited in the size they are allowed. So to give a longer reply one must break it up into more than one reply. I have just recently done this, and so would like to duplicate those replies here as one:
As I hesitate to write, thinking that I will be taken as uncaring or...
When I first came on this site there were a couple of people that I really liked. I saw a place where I could become one of their "Followers". Not really being a BIG social media person (No longer having "friends" on Facebook, or owning a cell phone), I didn't really understand what that...
I was doing my "Read Through the Bible in a Year" when I just came across Jeremiah 1:19, and decided to add it to my "memory verses." What a great application there is from this verse for us. Have any problems or negative things that come into your life? Of course, we all do. Now look at...
Just learned that Steve McQueen, the actor who died at age 50 of cancer, had become a Christian. See this link:
I was thrilled to hear that the famous basketball player Pete Maravich had also become a Christian. He died playing basketball with Dr. James Dobson.
Someone on the prayer wall had asked for prayer that they would one day lead someone to Christ. I gave them a reply, but later had an additional thought, but now can not find that post, so will just blog my thought here. Leading people to Christ (or soulwinning as it is also called) is a...
"Falling in love" Do you have a scriptural foundation for this, and verses to support it. Does "falling in love" have a Biblical definition or explanation, or are you speaking from experience, or from what you have read in books or seen in movies. Not being critical, just asking. You see...
I live in Las Vegas. Recently, here in June, the temperature tied the record for that date at 117 degrees. I have stopped watching TV news pretty much, so I didn't hear all the complaints and other negative comments about the weather. On that day I didn't hardly even notice the heat. For...
"And they shall know you are Christians by your love one to another." John 13:35.
And they (unbelievers, other believers, readers on this website) shall know you are Christians by your love one to another. If all the text you (me, others) have written was gathered into one place, how far...
One of my memory verses is John 7:18 "He that speaketh of himself, seeketh his own glory." I keep this in mind in the battle of spiritual pride. Well, after responding to a post here on CF, I see that there is an exception to these words. Generally they are true, and it was the Lord Jesus...
I am copying my reply to a post by
In Hebrews 3:3 we see that Christ Jesus was "better" (the key word in Hebrews) than Moses (just as Hebrews shows that Christ Jesus was better than the angels, the prophets, Joshua, the law and old covenant.) We can all so see the following similarities between Jesus and Moses:
Both would leave...
