After refusing each time, Mr. Boyd finally became fed up, he said. Before the last presidential election, he preached six sermons called “The Cross and the Sword” in which he said the church should steer clear of politics, give up moralizing on sexual issues, stop claiming the United...

first question: Are you born again? I know you stated you are a poor sinner, but all of us are sinners, some just saved by grace. second question: If you are born again, what are you looking for in a church? A place you feel comfortable; a place that is friendly (which should be all, but...

I have been exactly where you are. I was a young preacher, and due to different situations I backslid. My biggest problem was that I was extremely stubborn and would not listen when God told me to repent. Eventually it came to the point that I could NOT listen. I had refused to listen so...

Can you "not" preach? When I rec'd the call to preach, an evangelist once said to me "if you can do anything else and be content then you have not been called to preach, but if you can't "not" preach; then find somebody to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ to".

thanks, and i agree. often the problem is not the wrong person, but rather NO person. If fun and games is what is needed many will jump right in; but when spiritual service or physical labor is needed, no one around to help out. Would that all members of the church would take Charles...

If you were a true born again Christian and have rejected Christ, then your position is one of an apostate. See Hebrews chapter 6

Quickly! I have 3 minutes to live. How can I be saved? Dont tell me about God's wonderful plan for my life; I'm dying now. Don't worry about spending time with me; I have no time left. If you are in a constant state of prayer ("pray without ceasing") then give me God's law (show me my...

I would say Good Luck but it's not luc you need, its Grace. So God bless you, I will pray for you and your church. One thing that helps me when situations occur like what I mentioned is to always remember: "God did not call us to be successful, just obedient"

I'm curious- is your church growing or does it seem to stay around the same year after year?

In a way this is very similar to my calling. I am a minister of evangelism (licensed but not ordained, and not titled as I prefer it that way; as a result of course I have no Authority in the church.). (Also I am not a youth pastor I am 43 yrs old with a bum ticker and can't run with kids...

Do you hold your members accountable to serve in the church (in whatever capacity their gifts may be)? If so, how? And if not, why? It seems that in most churches there is a great minority doing all of the work.

But I do believe Pilgrims Progress to be good. It edifies and instructs Godly principles. It teaches the Gospel and what Christianity is about. Could it be misused and made a bad thing? Possibly so, the Bible has been used by many to justify their actions simply by taking things out of...

Romans ch 7 also deals with it

I'm not talking about going out witnessing; different issue

If we only view it as "entertainment", then is there anything wrong in watching a inappropriate contentographic movie as long as its only for entertainment, what about getting drunk for entertainment or listening to satanic heavy metal music for entertainment? There is no difference in sorcery or fornication...
