    Church planting

    Some church planting ideas are very basic. I took classes on this and find that in reality it needs alot of modifications. For example the basic idea you draw people at a recreation hall or something is very 1950's. Our current culture does not have so much for that. The best practicality is...

    There is a little known doctrine that is vanishing. The priesthood of every saint was that each saint could evangelize their community.

    The best resolve is to love

    Love is the best we can do. We really like people more than love them. Love is becoming someone to the kingdom of Christ. Character has much to do with Love. Love is kind. Love is pacient. Love is not unseemly or gross. Love has to do with how we treat people. It is not a romance novel. It is...

    you are called to prophesy

    The Bible says to desire to prophesy; thats calling. It says you all may prophesy; thats qualification. It says do all prophesy? No, many are called and few answer the call. Moses wished all Israel would prophesy; Jesus wishes:bow: you all would prophesy.

    Holy Spirit feelings?

    There is an old Christian myth that claims we feel the Holy Spirit speak to us. I challenge that. Can you find it in the Bible? People always quote me the verse about what The Spirit came to do. Nowhere does it say feel. In fact Holy Spirit does all He came to do through the gifts of the Spirit...

    prophesying

    Every Christian is called to prophesy. The Bible says we should all desire to prophesy; thats calling. It also says you all may prophesy; thats qualification. Do all prophesy? No because many are called and few are chosen. Seek it brother and sister. Only a few will believe this.

    praying in tongues aloud

    The Bible says when we speak in tongues the Spirit gives the utterance. It also says if there is no interpreter at church to pray in tongues silently. This means the Spirit is in control of your tongue and your spirit is in control of the volume. Does the Spirit ignore this Bible verse? No but...

    confirmation of sorts

    I just heard today about the biblical prophecies of Isaac Newton. He prophesied that the antichrist would come "before 2060." If you read my posts in my thread about the antichrist you will see that I prophesied this would happen before the next 50 years.
