    Been a LONG time!

    Hey all! It's been forever since I've been here. I saw when I logged in that my last visit was the middle of August! Wow, didn't realize it had been THAT long! Glad to see some familiar faces around here, and looking forward to maybe meeting some new ones. I've peeked into a few...

    starting to understand.....

    I think I'm starting to understand how people can consider 'reformed' and 'calvinist' to be two different things. I remember ages ago we had a discussion on that and some spoke how they felt that to be 'reformed' was basically an adherance to the 5 solas and TULIP and not much else, but to be...

    Three part sermon on Election

    We are doing an in depth study on 1Thesselonians right now at our church. We have made it to verse 4 and Pastor Tim is doing a three part sermon on Election to cover that verse. Part one was this past weekend and it was really good. Really good. He's digging right in and not...

    Found a book at a yard sale

    I found a book at a yard sale for 25 cents. "Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life" by Donald S. Whitney with a foreward by J.I. Packer. Now, I'll admit, the only reason I picked it up to look at is that I saw the J.I. Packer foreward! I've not heard of Donald Whitney before. I...

    Baptists and End times views

    I read elsewhere on this site that only a minority of Baptists actually hold to a dispensationalist pre-mill view of the end times. It made me curious, because almost all the baptists I've met with that I've actually spoken about end-time views DO hold to this view. So I figured that I'd...

    Historic Pre-mill view

    I found this short explanation of what the historic pre-mill believes. Does it sound right to you guys? Also, does anyone know of any sites that explain the historic pre-mill view in depth? I'm having trouble finding anything more than a quick overview. What Historic Premillennialism...

    Back in Christian Forums

    Hi everyone! I know it's been ages and ages since I've been on, but I'm going to try to start posting again fairly regularly. I've been pretty busy, with the boys and keeping the house, and church activities. Our church is going through some big changes, between moving to a new building (first...

    Major sin from a reformed point of view...

    With the breakout story of Ted Haggard in the news, it got me to thinking about major sins. By major sins, I mean a sin that has become a pattern in a person's life, one that has taken over and the person has been living a lie. In this case, it is homosexual tendencies and buying drugs; but...

    New band I like

    Have this new album by Hyperstatic Union that I'm really loving right now. There's this one song in particular that I really like, called Child of His Grace. conviction stirs within this is how repentence begins as He draws me in, I'm sheltered from the wages of my sin with open arms He's...

    An impossible question

    Well, at least to you reformed readers in here!!! I'm looking for my next book to read. I'm about halfway through "Desiring God"(which is an amazing read!) and I've read R.C. Sproul's "Grace Unknown". However, those are the only 2 'reformed" books I've read, and I really want to find a...

    Hi y'all!

    Last week our computer committed suicide and it took a week before we got a new one. So this morning I decide to drop by CF and see what's up after being gone for a week and a half, and this is what I find! :confused: Seeing as how I grew up Quaker and just recently became a reformed...

    a little baptist humour

    A cowgirl, who is visiting Texas from Arkansas, walks into a bar and orders three mugs of Bud. She sits in the back of the room, drinking a sip out of each one in turn. When she finishes them, she comes back to the bar and orders three more. The bartender approaches and tells the cowgirl...

    suggestions wanted

    HI all! I'm interested in starting a small group studying the OT. Do any of you have any suggestions on how the best way to go about it is? Should I start in the beginning and just work our way through the OT? Is there any OT books that you feel should be studied ASAP? As a woman, do...

    Can anyone clarify this?

    Visage of Glory wrote this in another post: Satan's plan was to save everyone no matter what, and then take the glory upon himself. That is tyrannical, and tyranny is evil. I was wondering if anyone can clarify this? Maybe expand on it? Perhaps tell me how this came to be taught...
