    Where Does It Say That Reprobates Can't Be Saved?

    It is amazing. As simple as it is to accept Jesus and maintain a relationship with God through the Holy Spirit, how many fail at this. Do we truly believe that God gives us the choice to be saved or not to be saved?

    Confused and sometimes worried

    Romans 8:26-27 New International Version 26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit...

    Domestic-Terrorism Bill Is ‘a Targeting of Almost Half of the Country’

    It sounds like we are in agreement that there are many examples of terrorism in our country that need to be addressed. I remember, in one instance, watching an individual standing on a police car and spraying some type of flammable liquid that he ignited. I also remember, in a different...

    Sorry, I have to call out the following for hyperbole:

    Can you be a moderate evangelical?

    I must respectfully disagree. I do not believe that the ends justify the means. I have witnessed those through the years that achieve positive results but leave all around them at odds and in dispute. Doesn't the Bible establish standards for character and behavior that should guide our values...

    A Great Nation is a Compassionate Nation

    @Pommer. While your response lacks any detail, I would expect that response to what I said based on your beliefs as a Deist. To better understand your response I believe your views are as follows: 1. You would disagree that God is active in our world today. Rather you believe he created...

    How to respond to the present situation in the USA

    It seems that at times like this we just obsess about ourselves and our perceived problems. Does the USA, and other nations as well, forget just how much God has blessed us? With medicine, a criminal justice system, an abundance of food, the freedom to travel and experience all of His great...

    How do you start loving your enemie?

    How does one love a pedophile? Is this where "tough" love comes in? Do we love the sinner by hate the sin? Do we remove them from society so that they are not tempted, for their own good?

    A Great Nation is a Compassionate Nation

    I agree. Above all we are followers of a King that rules with no peer. We are all sinners and each of us lives in a nation that is sinful. What each nation got right, be it called conservative, liberal (or progressive), or centrist, is that which comes from the teaching of Scripture and the...

    Please pray for my 5 year old autistic daughter

    I ask Jesus to extend his hand of comfort to your daughter, Meggy. I pray that you may find an individual that God has gifted with the ability to work with autistic children. May the Lord give you the strength, patience and self-control to love this child as Jesus loves her. All this I pray in...

    Reflection Of Your Life

    I look in the mirror and see a man that is free from the pain of my past iniquities. I once was rebellious of the laws that the Bible taught me, but now I see God's guidance as guardrails to keep me on the road to salvation. Romans 8:31 says "What, then, shall we say in response to these things...

    I don't think I'm saved

    I believe that love is all about relationships. We were created by God to have a relationship with him. Did I have a ceremony to marry my wife and then say "ok, see you around"? Do we do that to God? Are we baptized and then stop trying to build our relationship with our creator? A...

    How do you start loving your enemie?

    I believe that the whole point is to love your enemy such that they are no longer an enemy. This would be the goal. Are you going to escalate their anger or deescalate it? Maybe there is just a misunderstanding that they need to work through. The concept of escalation or de-escalation applies...

    Preventing false information

    I agree that blocking or censuring such information would not be the best course of action. But, I would see nothing wrong with adding a disclaimer if I believe that it is false. Especially if I have truthful information, that will prevent harm, I should add such. By simply blocking the false...

    World Weary Christian

    Greetings All! I am looking forward to intelligent conversations with fellow followers of Christ who see the Bible as God's How-To Book of living our lives. I am looking for inspiration from God's Word, the Holy Spirit, and fellow believers in the application of Christian Ideals in a world that...
