    Free time how do you spend it?

    Hi, I've found myself spending more and more time praying and feeding on the Scriptures. Seeking God's face and growing in His grace. I'm getting further and further away from anything worldly which has surprised me to be completely honest. Praise God for it... Tim L.

    Working For God First

    As always, a true blessing. Brother, you have really ministered to me on this site so many times with great threads like this. My prayers are for God to keep you close to Himself. To fill you with His grace and love and give you the desires of your heart. Bless you.. Tim L.

    Jabez prayer

    I agree. I believe the Jabez prayer was quoted to show that God can and will bless us if we ask and seek His blessings but to make that prayer into something that it seems to have become is off the mark. Where's the relationship in a prayer like that..? You can't know God intemately by...

    You are a member of THE CHURCH... (Body of Believers)

    Great thread. I was reading Revelation not long ago and God showed me that the conditions of these seven churches are also conditions that can affect each Christian's heart. In other words, each of us can become as any of these churches if we're not dilligent about our relationship with God...

    it's always puzzled me???

    The answer to the original post isn't exactly as it might seem. Consider the idea that God chooses to allow mankind to have free will and NOT know the choices we all might make until we make them. Not that God can't know but that He chose not to, thereby allowing us all to be completely...

    Matthew 7:15-20 - The tree and it's fruits.

    Hi Sceptical, I don't think, regardless of how it's sliced, that Muhammed can be found as God's messenger. The Qur'an completeyl leaves out Jesus as the True only begotten Son of God. Good question. The Scriptures have 40 authors witnessing to the revelation of God to man. All of the...

    typican unitarian-universalist church service

    So where's the spiritual life of a meeting like this..? Knowing God isn't about intellectual resolution of issues. How do they deal with sin..? Where's the path to God..? Where's the spiritual growth..? Tim L.

    Whatever happened to morality in the church

    Hi Santo, No, you're right in what you've said. I think maybe I didn't articulate my post well enought. Sorry for the confusion there. I meant to say basically what you said here. I just didn't work it exactly right or something. But my point was in agreement with what you were saying...

    Matthew 7:15-20 - The tree and it's fruits.

    If it's being spoken in Truth, who's speaking it is irrelevent. I personally would be completely content with anyone, Christian or non-Christian explaining Jesus. It can only be done through the Scriptures as He is the physical embodiment of God's Word anyway. If a non-Christian explains...

    Matthew 7:15-20 - The tree and it's fruits.

    Hi Sceptical, God's Word to mankind was complete in Jesus Christ and in Him alone. His love for people and the life that came from Him through the miracles He performed are Who God is. God bless.. Tim L.

    Matthew 7:15-20 - The tree and it's fruits.

    Boy...I really hate that I feel this way but I have to agree. The week after the first London bombings, a bunch of Muslims here in Atlanta got together and did a big publicity thing about how peaceful their religion is. The news even admitted that this was largely in part because they were...

    Matthew 7:15-20 - The tree and it's fruits.

    I'd say our tree has been cleansed. I haven't heard of the church killing anyone recently. Tim L.

    Matthew 7:15-20 - The tree and it's fruits.

    Does it say in the Koran (sp?) anywhere that they're allowed to slip bombs on buses and in cars and kill innocent men, women and children, many of which are merely trying to work to support their families..? Or crash planes into buildings killing thousands of people whom they've never met...

    Questions to Christians

    Hi Satay, If I can offer an opinion....This is one of but many Scriptures that point to the Trinity. Especially if you look just a little further into the other Scriptures. If you really want to blow your own mind, get into the seven spirits of God..! God bless... Tim L.

    Questions to Christians

    [/font][/color] The quotes that were posted looked like direct translations. Either from the Latin or Greek. If you read all the Scriptures that speak of the Trinity, yes. It becomes a very clear picture. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called...

    Why Do You Believe in God?

    Hi Sojurner, This will, of course, depend on the indivual curcumstances. Why are thay in this shape. Sometimes there are medical reasons for depression. And being born again certainly doesn't mean we're exempt from suffering....quite the opposite. Christians are told that we will share in...

    Why Do You Believe in God?

    Amen..!!!!!! I'm soooooooooooooo glad to read this post. I recently had a big long debate about whether the born again experience was real or not. About 5 atheists were telling me that I was never really born again because two or three of them said they had an experience that turned out not to...
