Discussion on Humbling Oneself

May 5th, 2016
Dale Agner May 2 at 6:54am I received a question this weekend that I've been thinking about quite bit, even before I received the question... ..."Hello, The bible tells us to humble ourselves. Also, that God gives grace to the humble (not the other way around-that God humbles those who he has given grace). We know we can do nothing (even have faith or soften our hearts [without God's help]) so how can we humble ourselves?" Like Like Love Haha Wow Sad Angry Comment Seen . . .

Help with a Q on Israel as God’s wife

April 24th, 2016
Ed Chait April 18 at 2:40am I just received this question and could use some help with it. After reading several commentaries, there are different and convoluted bunny holes for answers. Read allegorically, the answer becomes much simpler. "In Jeremiah 3:8 why did God say, "I gave faithless Israel her certificate of divorce"? Like Like Love Haha Wow Sad Angry Comment Seen . . .

Discussion on Cessationism

April 24th, 2016
Tim White April 19 at 10:41am My cessation views, and other people's, I think. My goal here in addressing my cessationist views, and those of my closest associates through the years, it to be honest about what I believe and debunk some misconceptions others may have when they hear or read us say that signs and wonders have ceased. I will attempt to insert some tension-reducing humor and enough self-deprivation to mask my arrogance in this topic. (I warned you). I believe in miracles. I believe in healings. . . .

Help with a question on Jesus overturning the tables and Galatians 6:1

February 26th, 2016
Jason Finch February 26 at 11:22am · Chatsworth, CA, United States Any thoughts on this question would be great. When Jesus turned over tables and rebuked the people in His Fathers house for selling sacrifices there, was what He did contrary to this verse in Galatians 6:1? Galatians 6:1... See More Galatians 6:1, English Standard Version (ESV) Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. . . .

Discussion on ways to do communion

February 26th, 2016
Heath Tibbetts February 25 at 2:57pm Since I figure MOST of you go to church, I'm looking for any creative ideas you have seen or used in your churches for observing Lord's Supper? I'm planning some variety in hopes of rekindling the significance of this observance in our church. Thanks! Comments Brian Marcum Perhaps a liturgical approach to corporate confession if you're Church hasn't done that before. Or perhaps intinction... or both. Like · Reply . . .

On pastoral burnout

February 26th, 2016
Robert Pristoop February 26, 2016 Pastor Burnout? Did you know that 1500 pastors a MONTH leave their congregations because of burnout? Interesting article below for Pastors. Written by Church Planter. Speaker. Author. CEO. Raul Rivera. Pastor Dave sat at his desk wondering what he would eat for dinner once the clock finally struck 5. Unfortunately, his “spaghetti daydream” was interrupted by an abrupt “ring, ring!” from his cell phone. “Dave speaking,” he announced. “Hi Pastor? . . .

Discussion on Christian hip-hop

February 26th, 2016
Jason Finch February 25, 2016 · Castaic, CA, United States No matter the popularity of this hip hop artist, what he is peddling is a false doctrine. Denying the Trinity is denying God Himself. We need to be careful of those we listen to, and allow to influence our lives, especially on theological matters. Jesus said this, John 8:24 ESV "I told you that you would die in your sins, for unless you believe that I AM HE you will die in your sins." I AM HE = a direct claim to deity, and a title that . . .
