    FAITH--define it in your own words.

    ...but support it with scripture. Please be short and concise. Enlighten us on how to exercise it as well, if you would. Who's first? Jim M--how about you, since you said you'd be happy to post on my thread if I started a new one?

    Prison ministry...

    I talked with a 19-year-old kid again tonight who got in trouble being rowdy with his friends. This kid had only heard the names "Jesus" and "Adam" and didn't know anything about them or anything else about the Bible. This is the second time I've talked with thid kid. I'm having a tough time...

    JBG's healing testimony

    NewSong asked me to post my testimony yesterday. I told her I had one posted on the sticky “Testimony” thread but that it didn’t say much about healing…so here you go, NewSong, here’s the healing version. In the fall of 1997 I had been a Christian for over 10 years. Got saved with “The...

    Jesus is LORD!!!

    I just can't handle that other thread, by that other name (Jesis is evil), any more. Even for illustration purposes, seeing it hanging out there in the lineup is really bothering me. If you're in agreement with this thread's title, say so here, please. I say, "Jesus IS LORD!" :bow:

    Jesus is awesome

    Here's a funky one for ya... Jesus is evil. God sent Him here to heal ALL who were aflicted in order to deceive us into thinking that He wants all of us whole, to have full lives, free of disease, brokenness and suffering. All of these promises of wholeness and healing are really meant to...

    We ARE healed...

    The Word says we are, so we are. Take it up with God. This is satan's world to use and manipulate until we, as believers, exercise our authority. No labels, please. The Word clearly states this. This is true. Now, because satan can physically manipulate this world, why does it surprise us...

    http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/False%20Religions/Wicca%20&%20Witchcraft/signs_of_satan.htm Is this true or just a bunch of hogwash? I've never heard this before.

    Do you know and recognize the HOLY Spirit?

    After his historical account of God's interaction with the Jews in Acts 7, Steven said this: "51 “You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do you. 52 Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed...

    So much death...

    I go to a fairly small church (between 50 to 75 core members year-round). I have no idea what an average number of members dieing per year would be for our size, but we've had 4 core members go home to be with the Lord so far this year. The most recent left last night. Is anyone else...

    No Justice

    Stating Truth must stop to make way for the another's right to state purposefully perverted Scripture and guidance here. I just want to be sure everyone is clear on this. *Now, if you're angry about this, please direct your anger somewhere other than at the mods--how 'bout directing it toward...

    How does the Blood of Jesus heal?

    How do YOU think the Blood of Jesus heals? *Here's the catch--you may state scripture references--PLEASE DO--however, you must describe YOUR UNDERSTANDING of the mechanics involved--with EITHER your brain OR your heart/spirit (or both!!). Please be specific. That's right--you have to think...

    Influences of your Father God concept

    1. To what degree do you think your current concept of God, the Father, has been influenced by the person who is your earthly father--or lack thereof? 2. To what degree do you think your current concept of God, the Father, has been influenced by the written Word of God? 3. Non-Christians...

    Truth pollution

    Some folks here on CF place their trust in, submit to, rely upon, and acknowledge only the result of their own reasoning--they follow their own will-- and promote this philosophy in most everything they write here. And they simply cannot (or will not) stop when caught in this error. They can...

    The Christian's priority...

    I know that there are Christians out there who have reasons for voting Democrat, but I don't believe that their priorities are correct because of my belief that there is no greater priority than the Right to Life issue. I cannot help this--this is what I believe--this is the belief I...

    Who is in control; who directs your advancement?

    If you could step out of yourself and examine the person that you are--to determine why you take the actions you take from moment to moment--would you find that... a. You make your decisions based upon what you think God would have you do. b. You act according to an 'inward compass'. c. Your...
