The wisdom of Nebuchadnezzar in keeping and training Daniel and his brothers to be officials in his government paid off, both for Babylon and for Daniel, because of his intelligence and integrity, and his faithfulness to his duty- all products of his personal walk with God. By the time the...

I am writing to you from campmeeting at Soquel, California. Here it's like Sabbath every day for a week. I'm attending seminars and worships, and hearing great speakers, and fellowshipping with friends. I'm also experiencing God speaking to me about a few things it seems I forgot about. I am...

Praise God, Moriah! The arm of flesh will fail you, ye dare not trust your own. I dare not trust the sweetest frame, but wholly lean on Jesus' name.:clap:

Actually, I probably receive more government money than all of you. I am a Medicaid provider. services that a cash patient would pay me $125 for, MediCal pays me $45 for. Since I practice in a rural location where there are a lot of poor people, a large percentage of my practice is Medicaid...

The way I read that passage, the emphasis is not on heaven and earth passing away, but more on solidifying the eternal truth of Jesus' word, that though heaven and earth will pass away, His word will never pass away- specifically meaning the Gospel- the inevitablilty and sureness of the...

I was thinking about that the other day and came to the conclusion that there is actually very little specifically we are supposed to know about the second coming of Christ. Most prophecy was never fully understood until after the fact. The main purpose of prophecy was not to warn people what...

Thanks, Stormy for joining in! Moriah, you have a point in that there is a lot to be said for phileo, although I usually think agape encompases phileo, and agape could encompass eros as well, because I feel mixtures of all three kinds of love for my wife. One might say that there are...

Thank you, Trust and Obey, and OnTheDL, for joining this discussion with me. I don't want to give away everything I have about this Scripture, but I thought I should clarify something I said in the synopsis that may not be apparent to everyone from the text, and I hope when you read this...

Thank you, Moriah for joining the discussion with me. I don't want to give away everything I have about this Scripture, but I thought I should clarify something I said in the synopsis that may not be apparent to everyone from the text, and I hope when you read this, that it is as big a...

Hi, Trusty! Hey, relax! Let your hair down!:tutu:

Hi, David!:wave: Oh, I've been here and there. Actually, I was reading the last chapter of John, and I saw in the breakfast with Jesus some parallels to a worship service. Rather than elaborate on the whole thing, I could give you a little example. For example, "Jesus shares in the bounty He...

I think that the account of Jesus' appearance to the disciples on the shore in the last chapter of John was a model for what a church worship service should be. I got the idea because the passage contains the following elements which I believe are fitting in a worship service (compare this...

Hi, Ricker! The answers to your questions are No; and No, but who's gonna stop me?:)

I feel the same way. I suspect that the people who most need to hear what you say will not listen. But we are listening. And please forgive me for butting in- old habits are hard to break. I won't say anything more to derail your story either (I hear you, Moriah).

I don't interpret the statements above the same way you do. I believe there is a substantial difference between saying that the church is the "remnant" church and saying it is the "true" church. I don't believe I can explain it to you in a way that would be satisfactory to you. I also don't...

Moriah, Earlier someone mentioned the woman whom the Pharisees had entrapped in adultery and used to try to trap Jesus. Jesus told her to leave her life of sin. I have heard that this woman was Mary of Magdala. In the course of their friendship, Jesus cast seven demons out of her. I wonder if He...

Hi, Lovebirds! There is exposive growth of Seventh-day Adventism in the third world. There are many places where members were just preached to and dunked without any consideration of them knowing anything about Christianity, let alone Seventh-day Adventism. This was done to boost the numbers-...

My hat's off to you. Raising children is definitely a calling and a sacrifice. I guess I should qualify what I said. I was talking more about making new friends as opposed to established friends, and about difficulties we faced when we moved a few years ago. It always takes time to make new...

Oh no! It's happened! The Lucky Charms Loaf! Try and serve that at your next church potluck!
