    hurricane katrina, our christlike light, is not shining

    Greetings Brothers and Sisters, I am disgusted and appalled by my church in recent days. I'm from Houston, Texas, where all the hurricane Katrina refugees are being brought. Our church signed a contract with Red Cross to be used as a shelter in case of disaster (we signed that contract a year...

    Laying down the sacrifice . .

    In baseball, the play I most love to see is the "sacrifice" -- it' the only game I know where a player can forfiet his turn to advance the position of another player. It's a beautiful thing to see. We live in a society, where like baseball, the sacrifice is rarely seen. The slogan today is...

    Who do you relate to?

    Someone once said "That a great play, is one where you most relate to the characters" I created this poll out of curiosity, to see who everyone relates to most out of the 10. Have fun, and oh, explain the reason why you relate most to that person. Thanks!

    Vanity

    The above quote is from Ecclesiastes. It was uttered by a man who was the wealthiest, wisest, and greatest ruler in the history of the world. Sometimes we think to ourselves "If only I had more money, my problems would go away; if only I were smarter I would be better off; if only I had more...

    Frontliners

    The Bible often compares the Christian to a soldier. They have much of the same duties, to protect, to gaurd the truth, to fight against evil, to enhance freedom. These are all duties of a soldier. Like soldiers we have armor; a shield, a sword, a breastplate and so on and so forth. We are...

    Sunday School Teaching

    Hey guys, Recently our SS teacher got a great offer from someone to do a start-up, for a church about a month and a half ago. Since then, I and another guy in our college age class has been taking turns teaching. At first, it was more out of obligation because there was no one else to teach...

    God has a positive answer

    You say "It's impossible" God says "All things are possible" (Luke 18:27) You say "I'm too tired" God says "I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28-30) You say "Everybody hates me" God says "I love you" (John 3:16; John 3:34) You say "I just don't think I can go on" God says "My grace...

    What sin do you struggle with the most?

    I started this thread in the hopes that we could encourage eachother through the things with which we struggle. It helps to know that somewhere in the world, there is someone fighting the exact same battle you are. The things I struggle with the most are: alcohol, lust, patience, anger and pride.

    What's your potential?

    What do we see when we look at a person? Do we see the good in them? Do we see the bad? or is it a little of both? -- The fact is that everyone has potential, whether we see it or choose to be blind to it. A few Biblical examples would include Moses, who before he even knew anything about...

    The Weak, The Meek and The Poor

    The world measures success in many different ways. How rich you are, how important you are, how many houses and cars you own. I've often dwelt on these things, and before I came to Christ, I spent my life in pursuit of them. Now God has told me that the weak are strong, the meek are blessed, and...

    Sight Fast . . .

    Hey Gang! Recently I have been thinking about going on a 3 day sight fast. I was thinking about it and I think it would greatly increase my ability to accept God's unseen plan as well as increase faith. I know that God is the giver of faith and He doesn't withhold, but something like this...

    Vessels . . .

    I went walking in my neighborhood a couple of days ago and decided to go down to this river by my house. It's about 3 or 4 miles away, very secluded, great place to be alone with God. As I was walking I looked around at all the wonderful creations of God, the joyous symphony of sounds. The birds...

    The Lord looks for lost people

    You have heard of "the ten lost tribes of Israel," who were carried away into Assyria and there disappeared. On a smaller scale, something similar took place on Roanoke Island on the North Carolina coast. In 1587, Sir Walter Raleigh settled a colony there. Three years later, when a ship came to...

    Greetings Friends, Recently I have come upon a situation that is really bothering me. I don't know what to do about so maybe you all could give me some insight or perhaps a new perspective. My sister has been "seeing" this guy for a little over a year now, but she's only been around him for...

    With God, Anything Is Possible

    Greetings Friends, About a couple of months ago, GOD made it know to me that I did not have a sufficient knowledge of His Word. At that time I made a commitment to read the Bible cover-to-cover (if you have not done this I encourage you to) as I have been reading through the OT, GOD has...
