    Christmas Tales

    Here's my best real life Christmas story.. please add yours... Twenty two years ago, when I got married, I was too poor to buy my beautiful wife a diamond. Then, in '95, I worked overseas, got a good bonus check, and bought her a diamond ring. Two months later, she lost the ring!&@*! She'd...

    Hard Times in the Land of Plenty

    I'm checking out of Memphis tomorrow. Tonight I packed my bags and loaded 'em in the car. About midnight, I drove up the street to for a refreshing diet pepsi at the corner store. As I walked back out to my car, I heard a young woman talking (to me?). She rounded the corner of my car saying...

    Show of Hands..

    I too am clean of ganja & liquor after years of both. It took a DWI arrest to stop the alcohol. Perhaps there was a touch of Godly intervention in there too. My most undeniable session of spiritual warmth followed a day or 2 later as I lay in jail anticipating the worst and earnestly praying...

    Forgive My Ignorance..

    In the Old Testament (Psalms 51:11 for one), there is evidence of the presence of the Holy Spirit in the lives of men. But in the New Testament, Christ tells the apostles he must leave them so that the Holy Spirit can come to them. At what point did the Holy Spirit withdraw from mankind, and...

    Jesus Shows Us How to Read the OT

    Isn't assigning as 'allegory', the Old Testament accounts we find hard to defend, just taking an easy way out? Is 'taking an easy way out' too polite a term for the potential extent of the process? To put it in perspective, do you look forward to the (perhaps allegorical???) judgement day...

    The first christians met in homes not buildings

    God ordered ornate temples built- worthy of worshiping him in - back in Old Testament times though, eh?

    Taking "Christ" Out of "Christmas"

    Tonight was the seasonal celebration over to the elementary school. The choir director announced we would be singing songs to celebrate "that holiday in December". Then, the children proceeded to sing "Rudolph", a Kwanza song, "Felice Navidad" and 2 or 3 other songs. The entire event managed...

    Taking "Christ" Out of "Christmas"

    As Christians, in a somewhat Christian nation, we should be ashamed of the commercial frenzy we've turned the Christmas season into. Talk about turning it over to the money changers..

    Need help, not sure where to post this..how far is too far?

    To say the least, your husband's fanaticism doesn't follow the Christian walk of any Christian I've ever heard of. God would also have your husband be a good provider for his family, and to take care of his financial responsibilities. While God is certainly capable of providing for your soon...

    Miricles

    I've been through a couple of years of real financial hardship, and I think a lot of it was God slapping me in the face trying to get my attention on some matters. I have an incredible Christian family, and we've seen some miraculous intervention in our lives. But God has no problem taking...

    Your Personal Miracle Testimonies

    That's cool Jeff. I had a similar, very personal experience of being infilled with a warmth and security I could not deny, in a situation where I was physically distraught and so filled with anxiety, I would have been completely unable to summon such sensations on my own. The odd thing...

    Your Personal Miracle Testimonies

    Back when you first quit, did you just do so by faith? Or did your blood tests level off first? Others, please post your own miracle experiences. I and my family have had several, but I have Christian friends who go out of their way to deny modern day miracles, claiming they died out with...

    Billy Grahm

    Perhaps his great achievement has been his Godly lifestyle and ministry. He is said to be so careful as to never be alone with a woman so as not to risk temptation or the appearance of wrong doing.
