    Lack of interest in evangelism

    That is awesome Ellie! So many think their enfirmities, bad circumstances are suffering for Christ. Suffering for Christ as taught in the Word of God, to be hermeneutically correct, is actually suffering for the sake of the Gospel or suffering while serving the Lord. I commend you for what...

    Backsliders in church, what is our role

    Consider that "backsliding" is not a biblical thing and possibly these people are false converts. Even if they are not false converts, making sure they have taken the time to examine themselves and see if they are "in the faith" is a very important job someone must do. This can be a daunting...

    Jack Chick more dangerous to Christanity than Dawkins ever will be

    I am curious and have never read a Chick tract until now. Can you give some specifics on what lies he is telling concerning science, etc? Also, any lies this Dr. Dino has told? thanks.

    I'm not sure I belong...

    It sounds as if your questioning is just a matter of faith. Faith, as taught by Paul, is a gift. Now, we must have some matter of faith to begin with, but, if God is truly sovereign, and his call or convicting by the Holy Spirit is irresistable, (as taught by Calvin), then the faith to believe...

    Ray Comfort's message of evangelism

    Good post. I would also HIGHLY, HIGHLY, reccommend getting your hands on a copy of Hells Best Kept Secret/True and False Conversion from the Living Waters website. Buy 10 and hand them out to your friends. It goes through all the supporting scripture for the questions you're asking and will...

    How vital is seminary?

    I actually forgot to answer your question. Seminary is worth something if you go to a true biblical seminary. Some are very liberal these days. It will probably help you get a job better. However, God will send you where He needs you with or without it. If the door is open go for it. If...

    How vital is seminary?

    Seminary will not make a great "pastor". A pastor is made by God's calling. Although the word "pastor" isn't necessarily biblical it means to most someone who is a shepherd over a body of people and minister to them in teaching and in serving their other needs. There are pastors out there...

    How to evangelise to others in bars and clubs?

    Jesus did associate with sinners, however, did not act as sinners. Rather than saying "I don't drink because it's a sin" don't say anything at all. Just don't order wine. By the way, my friends who knew me before are the very ones now who are drawn to me and asking spiritual questions...

    Witnessing to People that Know Your Past

    Be diligent sister. Without the "old you" the "new you" wouldn't be as strong a witness. This may actually help you reach people you otherwise wouldnt' be able to. Let your new walk lead your way. God Bless you for being willing to share the Good News!!

    Is this kind of witnessing ok with god?

    If you're still slipping into sin maybe you should examine yourself as Paul tells us. Backsliding is not really a biblical term that could be used. The Word tells us that no liar, no thief, no adulterer (yes lust counts too), no idolater, etc. shall enter the kingdom of God. It doesn't say...

    Redistribution of Wealth

    Nope. Even Jesus said to give unto Ceasar what is Ceasar's meaning we must pay our taxes in order to obey the law. Giving 10% of our "first fruits" means tithing on our gross pay not the net after taxes. God is to get His off the top. Taxes are to be paid as well. These are my...

    Female Pastors?

    Your argument is elementary at best. The only one being insulted is God by the fact people think modern "culture" is an excuse to disobey the principles of the Bible. Obviously you're a female and your mind will not be changed. That's fine. Jesus' death and resurrection took away the need...

    Female Pastors?

    So here we are, yet again, picking and choosing what we don't like in the Bible and forsaking its principles. Either you believe it in its entirety or you don't. It's not men versus women as said before. Should we now start to pull out verses that don't follow the culture? I guess then since...

    Mission trips and their intentions?

    I recently met someone who appears to be a full time missionary. This person is either wealthy or has someone who pays all the money, nonetheless this person spends about 180 days per year out of the US. When I questioned this person as to how he/she shares Christ I was told, "well we try to...
