They can be. But your heart is not God.

What sort of impact has fear of the Woes (which are actually a promise of negative consequences) had on your growth as a Christian or aided you in modifying your behavior? Stories are good.

Every year as I read through Kings and Chronicles I'm disturbed by the golden calves that Jeroboam erected (1Kings12:28) shortly after Solomon died. All the Kings, in the following years left the calves standing, even though some of them otherwise followed God's ways. Finally Josiah destroyed...

Is Armatys guilty of theft or should Avaya bear the responsibility of their mistake?

This week will be a smaller than usual gathering for our Sunday fellowship so I offered my house since I don't have it full of babies anymore. We are reading through the book of Acts and verses 16:1-24 are the next we need to cover. I forgot that the hosting family is also responsible for...

Another fella came into the cafe today and wanted to talk religion. At one point he got on the Jews because they had stopped animal sacrifice. I told him that the reason they had stopped animal sacrifice was because the temple was destroyed, so they had no place to offer sacrifice. And that in...

We are all familiar with the verses from John 15. Yesterday, sitting on the bank of the river in a warm patch of sunlight, reading a small book by Andrew Murray called The True Vine, I had a :doh:moment. The sap. I had never before considered that if the branch isn't tightly bonded to the vine...

Seems some Christians in Africa are seeing a need for action::thumbsup: Entire article: A Statement On Prosperity Teaching - Christianity Today magazine - ChristianityTodayLibrary.com

I can't believe I just read a post where someone says they are being persecuted because another Christian disagrees with their doctrine. Good Grief.:mad:

"One of the greatest proofs that you are drawing on the grace of God is that you can be humiliated without manifesting the slightest trace of anything but His grace." -- Oswald Chambers. As I read this today, I really wanted to be in this place. Not just not reacting on the outside, but to be...

"The church has flip-flopped the Biblical role of the pastor by making him the counselor of the confused and comforter of the upset instead of the trainer of the strong." Bill Hull Makes you think about why there are no lower tiers of ministry available in some churches, and why so many...

I was looking around the web and found lots of flashy ads for Christian stuff. So just how much do you think the Christian market generates each year?

I've been sent the first two (are there more?) DVD's of Narnia in a language understood by my employees. I loaned them to a buddhist girl and she kept them an extra week because she loved the lion. So I loaned them to a Christian woman so she could talk with the first girl about the movies...

A young man at work made me cry today. I have five highschoolers that I take care, who come to work at the cafe on Saturdays. I asked D (a supervisor) to teach V(a 15 yr old girl) how to make espresso drinks. He looked shocked, so I explained that it was an experiment. I wanted to see if...

A friend posted this on facebook, I thought it worth repeating.:amen:

A Thai channel is carrying a broadcast out of the Phillipines and a bit of it is in English. I've heard this statement a few times in different forms. Is this a new teaching that has sprung up recently?

I saw this article and thought of him. Hope he is well, it's been awhile since he last passed through. Christian Bootcamp Seeks to Arm Home-Schooled Youths for "Spiritual Warfare" | Rights and Liberties | AlterNet
