    Government - The Most Important Issue

    Part 1 The Purposes of Government Why do governments exist? Governments first evolved as people discovered that protection was easier if they stayed together in groups and if they all agreed that one (or some) in the group should have more power than others. This recognition is the basis of...

    Survey: Where do you all think the action in Revelation 5 is set?

    This is not a trick question: I had someone suggest something truly unusual and I would love to hear your replies and opinions. Revelation 5 (NIV - UK) 5 Then I saw in the right hand of him who sat on the throne a scroll with writing on both sides and sealed with seven seals. 2 And I saw a...

    Seek First the Kingdom of God

    “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.” (Matthew 6:33-34 ESV) We can get so caught up in today, and with...

    Genesis and Physics

    Advanced physics is not kind to atheists in that too much of the way the universe works isn't random. So much is actually incompatible with randomness/chance. That is as deep into physics I will/can go, except to say that the concept of multiple universes, which I equate to multiple dimensions...

    What Does it Take to Receive Eternal Life (Lessons from the Rich Young Ruler)?

    SCRIPTURE: Once a religious leader asked Jesus this question: “Good Teacher, what should I do to inherit eternal life?” “Why do you call me good?” Jesus asked him. “Only God is truly good. But to answer your question, you know the commandments: ‘You must not commit adultery. You must not murder...

    We Must be Born Again

    John 3:1-12 ESV “Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. This man came to Jesus by night and said to him, ‘Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do unless God is with him.’ Jesus answered him, ‘Truly...

    Old Vineyard guy :-)

    Hello everyone, just joined the forum. Here's a bit about me: Met the Lord at university in the 70s as I was preparing to undertake graduate studies in Astrophysics. Needless to say He changed the direction of my life! Encountered the Vineyard movement in the early 80s and have been blessed...

    Transferred to the Kingdom of God

    From the Domain of Darkness Colossians 1:13-14 ESV “He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.” The modern gospel being taught today does not teach this. It teaches that Jesus died...

    Matthew 25 Parables

    Parables 10 Virgins 10 Talents/10 Minas - Luke 19:11-27 Judgement of the Sheep & Goats The whole of this chapter is very punctual and profound to the point of Christ Jesus’ return. He is painting a picture of an event that is so far ahead of time that the disciples could not yet comprehend...

    Do Not Neglect Koinonia (fellowship)

    For true disciples of Christ, koinonia (fellowship) is essential in our walk with Him in this world. Throughout the gospels we learn that Jesus set for us the example of this during His earthly ministry. The Lord made it a point to spend special time away from the crowds and this world to meet...

    Continue In Your Faith And Do Not Wander From The Narrow Path!

    There are many who claim to know Christ, but in the end the ONLY thing that matters is whether or not He will say that He knows us in the end. Think of all the people who you have once known in your past. Can you honestly say that you know them today, or would it be more accurate to say I once...

    The Redemption of Our Body

    Romans 14:17 For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. If you met someone who is a picture of healthy living by diet and exercise, you would not by outward appearance think “now this a child of God”. If you met someone who is...

    Are You Truly In The Kingdom Of Heaven?

    Jesus warned us, "Beware of false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad...

    Video Message On The Parable Of The Weeds

    The Parable of the Weeds "Jesus put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. But while everyone was asleep, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and slipped away. When the wheat sprouted and bore grain, then the weeds also...

    Video Message On The Parable Of The Sower

    The Parable of the Sower "That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the sea. Such large crowds gathered around Him that He got into a boat and sat down, while all the people stood on the shore. And He told them many things in parables, saying, “A farmer went out to sow his seed. And...

    Set Your Minds On Things Above, Not On Earthly Things.

    "Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God." Colossians 3:2-3 When the things of this world press against us, we who are in Christ need to remember these words and the meaning behind these words. If we do, we will find...
