    I don't normally do this, but...

    I have a request for prayers of agreement on something. This is the subforum where I feel the closest to others theologically and doctrinally, so I just felt like this was the place I felt most comfortable posting something like this (even though it's technically not a "prayer request"...

    Favorite Worship Music?

    If you had to pick a few worship songs which could be downloaded onto an MP3 player or CD, what would they be?

    Awesome testimony of God's protection

    My neighborhood (and our whole town for that matter) has had a rush of thefts, break-ins, and robberies in the past 2 months. We have a lot of gang activity in our town, and there usually is a lot of crime around the time for their initiations into the gangs. Just a month or so ago, our...

    Fun thread -- what to do in power outage

    5-8 inches of snow is forecast to fall in south Mississippi tonight and tomorow morning. We are not equipped for such displays of nature's fury, and will probably lose electic power for some time anyway. Work will almost inevitably be cancelled. What to do in the time we're stuck at home with...

    Why do unbelievers not accept this AWESOME gift??

    Rather than derail the Ann Coulter thread, I thought I'd just start a new one about this subject. She writes in the last paragraph of her column these words: "With Christianity, your sins are forgiven, the slate is wiped clean and your eternal life is guaranteed through nothing you did...

    Can pigs really fly after all???

    The New Orleans Saints are headed to the Super Bowl! I wonder if the temperature is falling rapidly in Hades?? :D

    Why did God tell them to kill men women and children?

    I saw this alluded to in another thread. I have heard non-Christians use this violent episode in Israelite history to question our belief in a loving God. Just wondering what everyone's thoughts were on this. Why would God require that everyone be killed in the nations which the Israelites...

    My toes are numb. (not a serious thread)

    Okay, this weather is crazy. I'm less than 100 miles from the Gulf of Mexico, and my thermometer is peaking out at a balmy 34 degrees. They're talking low temps around 11 degrees later on this week. It should be against the rules for it to be this cold!!

    Faith Without Works

    "Faith without works is dead." Trying to get the complete understanding of this passage of Scripture. Does it simply mean that faith without works is WORTHLESS? Or is the meaning that faith REQUIRES works (as sustenance) to live? (Like a human being requires FOOD to live)

    Why do people have a problem with prosperity teachings?

    I have an idea of my own. But first, here's a few Scriptures... 8This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and...

    When a king speaks...

    When a king gives an order, he knows that it will be carried out. He doesn't have to repeat himself over and over again. I just read that in Hagin's book "The Believer's Authority". This is totally shaking up my way of thinking about stuff. I have to remind myself that it is my privilege...

    Charles Capps?

    I just realized I have his book "Faith and Confession". I remember ordering it a while back, but I'm still catching up on some other reading so I just shoved it to the bottom of the pile. Anyone read anything by Capps? Would like to hear what you guys think about him and his...

    Thank God...

    I am thankful that regardless of how cruddy I feel when I wake up in the morning, and regardless of how much the enemy comes against me early in the morning, I can stand on the promise of God that He will never leave me nor forsake me, and claim His presence with me with thanksgiving and praise...

    Who's on your Ipod?

    Just curious as to who (or is it WHOM??) everyone is listening to. Me, I'm stuck on Andrew Wommack. Booted off a bunch of other stuff to fit more of his messages. Prior to that I had a bunch of Joyce Meyer and Chuck Missler. Also some Mike Mille from White Dove Fellowship Church in New Orleans.

    Would you guys agree with me on something?

    As I mentioned on the main forum, I feel like God has brought to my attention lately just how much unbelief I have in my mind. This is at a time when I am greatly desiring to step out in faith more in my life. It's not that I don't have faith. It's just that there is also unbelief there in my...

    Receiving the Baptism of the Holy Spirit

    Just curious here. Did any of you receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit a good while after beginning to seek it? If so, was there any revelation as to the cause of the delay for you? And, other than tongues, how did you know when it happened?

    Dying to self, crucifying the flesh...

    Just curious. Wondering if other folks have any sort of routine practice to achieve the dying to self that we're admonished to do.

    What the world thinks about Christ?

    Heard a preacher make an interesting statement lately: "Unsaved people generally don't have any real problem with Christ Himself. Rather, the problem they have is with CHRISTIANS." Thoughts?

    Masonry??

    So as not to hijack another thread, I was wondering if anyone who has a background in masonry can share some of your experiences. I have heard a lot of talk about it, but I'm totally ignorant of the whole issue of masonry. Would love to hear from anyone; if you would rather PM me, that would...
