I used to race through Mark for its brevity, but I am slowly working my way through Matthew, and it is incredible. Matthew's first eleven chapters contain accounts of Jesus that Mark squishes into three. Mark's brevity has its own strength. I am in love with Matthew's Gospel however. Prophecies...

Usually I like to read the Word in silence. This soundtrack is good enough to make an exception. :)

Ex catholic here as well. Coincidence?

That is true. My family doesn't even know they are Arminian. They haven't heard of the doctrines of grace, yet they staunchly interpret everything they read with an Arminian bent to the point of ignoring passages. And its not malicious at all. It is just from years of exposure to a particular...

Hey, I haven't, but I found it online and it looks good

I had never really thought of it until my older sister started questioning certain Christian beliefs. I also began seriously engaging with my Muslim and bahai friends' beliefs at the same time. I remember sitting on the sofa looking for information and watching debates between James White and a...

You're right about that, and motivation. The rift between just being a sinner and responding to being a sinner seems pretty big sometimes. Do you keep a prayer/study journal? Thanks a ton.

Hey Look, Thanks, prayers appreciated very much. Limbo is a bad place. Im readin' the Bible tonight.

Evening brothers and sisters I'm pleased the reformed forum is still here on Christian forums. It's great to be able to ask advice and discuss topics on here. I'm not planted in any church right now. I haven't been for years. One recent acquaintance from work is the only touchpoint I have...

Definitely a good idea to keep an eye on this. However, it would be next to impossible in some geographies. For example, in Vancouver there is so much fresh water -- rain, streams, rivers, lakes -- it would be next to impossible to enforce. In dryer areas, it could be possible. Further, if...

Hey, thanks. :) It's funny, I keep gravitating towards the Catholic forum. Nice place you got here.

It seems like I offended youu? It means exactly what it means, he/she/they have impressive diction in English for someone from Beijing... but as you've shown from their profile, they're pretty international.. Soooo...? edit: anyways.. sorry for derailing thread, maybe an admin can just delete...

Your grammar and general diction is very good for someone from Beijing, coming from someone who lives in a city that's practically half Chinese. O_o

If I remember correctly, the Vatican is actually the world's largest charitable organization. And who knows, considering how much the Pope travels and the security risks, a private jet is probably the most feasible.. considering.. There's certainly no place in comparing it to a multi-national...

Good morning from Canada! I can't drink coffee right now because it does a number on my system. x.x
