Lamentations 3:22-23 English Standard Version 22 The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;[a] his mercies never come to an end; 23 they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. 1 John 1:8-10 New International Version 8 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves...

Typical of Baptist sermons, it's always on point with scripture and applied to the believer today. That is a very powerful and directly pointed sermon, dead on ! If anyone in this thread has not listened to it, you should. Then be honest.

Let me ask something. As a Christian, what's you ministry ? IE calling ? May I suggest, answer that to yourself ( we don't need to know, you do) and then get doing it. We are here for the Lord's purposes, not our own, though sometimes ours fits the program so to speak. Our rewards wait in...

Creation indeed can bring us closer to God, I experience it regularly. Walks in the woods or even in the yard in early morning, or lake side, oil painting scenics. 5 bird feeders in the yard, and presently awaiting the return of the hummingbirds any week here. Add that to church, God has His...

I preach from bullet points and cross reference scriptures to the main theme, in my own from the heart.. I start by reading the main theme scripture. I announce the reference scriptures to be used that day. I use quotes from my reference or study bibles, also from certain commentaries. I can not...

I've been affiliated with several non denoms for years and non of those ordained women. I do know of some that have but I'm not a part of those. The main one never will. A few denominations do though. I think Episcopal may have been among the first to do so. I'm in a Baptist church now and they...

Who Markie was replying to was me and my post on the fruit of the Spirit/ what we call the changed man ( or woman of course). Mourningdove, the evidence is in our new nature.Sometimes it's just we don't do or desire the sinful past things we might have done. Or a willingness to pray.. Etc. And...

Oh, sorry about that ! I Usually look at what forum I'm posting to but ad.ittedly did not do that. Had I realized it was the Orthodox forum I wouldn't even have replied. Again, sorry about that.

A big part of salvation is faith, then by God's grace we are saved. We need faith to believe the Gospel and we need to have heard the Gospel. True you don't have to read it to be saved but you do have to hear it. So we come down to this : "Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God"...

God didn't just create procreation between man and woman but heightened physical pleasure to a bond you can feel and see into the eyes of one another, complete with orgasmic energy being released. He could have made procreation any number of ways but chose this, which is pure pleasure with God...

I don't understand why you guys find this so strange, we should all be witnessing in one way or another.

That woman is walking with the Spirit well alive in her. This is not uncommon when you get outside of denominations or even into ones who lean on the power of the Holy Spirit. You learn to see spiritually and act differently. Or, have you thought of the possibility that you encountered an angel...

Correct, that's what I did early this morning, soon as I saw he was persisting. That only makes 3 people in my time at CF that I felt the need to hit ignore.

Too far off topic from the OP. It's not a bible study or debate forum. Take your concerns to a theology specific or debate forum. Lets get on topic for this forum and the OP concerns. I know you're pretty new here but try to get a grip on how the various forums within the site work.. If you're...

There is a remnant of the old sin nature in the flesh of all of us or Paul spoke a lot of words about even himself battling the flesh for nothing. And he certainly was a changed man. "My Grace is sufficient for you" in 2 Corinthians 12:9 is just one portion of many that comes to mind. And...
