So, the sermon series I am listening to the pastor talked again this week about voices that influence us. He said ultimately there are two voices, either one that leads to the devil or one to God. First he quoted Proverbs 2:2-12 and 1 Thess 5;21 that tells us to tune our hearts to wisdom and...

North Korea's regime has "succeeded in making a more developed nuke," according to the country's state news agency. The Korean Central News Agency described it as a "nuke" in its English-language report, but called it a "thermonuclear hydrogen bomb" in the Korean version. During a visit to the...

I thought about putting this in the men's forum, but I want input from the ladies as well. When I was growing up guys didn't have long hair. Except maybe for people on television or rock bands. One exception comes to mind is the band KISS that was popular in the 70's. Of course, they wore...

The church that I attend started a new series called "voices" which has to do with the voices that influence us. The pastor talked about the difference between God's voice and Satan's. He said God's voice can be described as consistent with the Bible, loving, true, helpful, centered on others...

Immediately after Elijah's showdown with the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel, Elijah hears a word from Jezebel who tells him that she is going to kill him. He gets scared and makes a run for it. This is the same man who faced down hundreds of prophets of Baal in the previous chapter. He...

Who is your favorite Bible character besides Jesus? For me, I think it would either be Joseph in the Old Testament or Peter. I like how Joseph was able to see that God was at work when he was in prison and he was patient with his brothers who sold him into slavery. His insight is kinda amazing.

My wife and I eat out probably at least once a week. She likes fresh vegetables, so that is always a part of the criteria for us. I grew up on eating Mexican food so usually we go to one of the local Mexican resturants. Where do you like to go to eat out? Would you rather go to a chain...

Matthew 6:33 says, "But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness and all these things shall be added to you." I was thinking about this verse and I thought to myself what does it really mean to seek first His kingdom and righteousness and how I do I know when I am doing it? Also, what does...

I sometimes feel like as a believer I shouldn't be spending my time reading things like mystery novels or spy thriller type books. I think to myself that I should be reading my Bible or a book about spiritual topics. I feel the same sometimes when I watch a movei. Maybe that's why I don't...

I am doing a study right now in Mark and comparing Mark with Matthew, Luke and John. I looked in Mark 1:14-20 at the calling of Peter and Andrew and James and John. Matthew has a very similiar story about how they were fishing and Jesus came along and called them. Their response was immediate...

I was just wondering what lessons or things has God been teaching you lately? I could name a number of things, but I thought Sunday mornings message about honoring others was really good. I had to go apologize to some people who I had said some things to that were not particularly honoring...
