I was reading some of the forums this morning and I came to a realization of the division of the body of Christ, one that can probably still be defined as the visible church and the invisible church.
The defining words presented were “I’m the king in my castle” while I wondered about what...
ImaginaryDay2 was talking about the area around which he lives and it got me thinking. I grew up in that area and near my place was a field that was covered in pheasants during the summer. So much so that the tractors would ruin nests and mother pheasants that tried to protect them. Now the...
We can look at the historical record and reach one conclusion, look at the morality implied and reach another conclusion or we can look at the spiritual thru spiritual eyes and gain eternal insights, truly it’s in the eyes of the beholder.
The 3 aspects of biblical truth can be seen as
1) the...
What does it mean to be save yet as thru fire? We need only to look at Lot to find the answer. He escaped from fire and brimstone. Freed by God's hand he is not really free because he chose to dwell in the gates of Sodom rather than in the tent of Mamre where Abraham found the friendship of the...
I posted this on 'the other' forum and so far have only gotten one reply. I thought I might get more participation here.
I do a lot of home studies ... daily in fact. And I`m excited about some of the things I`m learning. So I share many of them. But I find that participation on forums brings...
There's a storm at sea and Jesus is sleeping in the boat. His instructions are to sail to the other side. Do you ask for the storms to calmed or do you push on thru? What is your reaction to life?
Reckoning ourselves dead to sin but alive with Christ. Christ, as we know, has the distinction of 2 natures, being 100% of mankind and 100% of the divine nature. In becoming a Christian we have taken on a new nature also. What He is so we will be, but the mirror is very murky. By gazing on Him...

I think this scripture is the source of the reasoning behind purgatory is it not?...
Romans 14:12
So then each one of us will give an account concerning himself to God.
Romans 12:3
For I say, through the grace given to me, to every one who is among you, not to think more highly of himself than...
Today I'm going to put together a menu outline of things that I enjoy eating, working out an average calorie needed, base it on mostly nutrient dense foods and then work it into a one-meal-a-day food plan. The idea is to have as much time where the digestive system is resting so the healing...
In honor of Mothers for Mothers Day, what are some of the things that mom always said while you were growing up?
I'll start it off ... one of the many sayings that my mom would say is
"if you can't say anything nice then don't say anything at all"
Enjoy
Predestination
God predestined to use whomsoeverHewould. Cyrus was predestined according to prophesy but Cyrus was outside of God's chosen people. God used Tamar to add Perez to Christ's bloodline while still remaining in Christ's ancestry of Judah. He used Ruth, a Moabite, also in that...
This is a tongue in cheek testimony that Jesus and I wrote (imho) about a decade ago that I think everyone may enjoy. It was composed in one sitting from my notes of a rough draft outline of a book called ~Things that become sound doctrine~
DEPRAVITY
I was born as bad off as I could get. I...
Hidden in Christ
Colossians 3:1-4
If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God...
I tried to place a siggy but it doesn't show in post. Also I purchased a status change and don't know how that is accomplished either? Do these go thru admin?
Oh I see the signature now. Just on new posts I guess, but what about the status change, where it says veteran member. I would like that...
1 John 2:5-6
We truly love God only when we obey him as we should, and then we know that we belong to him. If we say we are his, we must follow the example of Christ.
1 John 2:24
Keep thinking about the message you first heard, and you will always be one in your heart with the Son and with the...
Ressurrection and Ascension
What does it mean to you?
Acts 2:24
But God raised him up, having freed him from death, because it was impossible for him to be held in its power.
1 Peter 1:3
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By his great mercy he has given us a new birth into...

1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, loosely packed
3 medium courgettes (zucchini), peeled and roughly chopped
2 apples, cored and roughly chopped

You are known by your fruit.
So I got to wondering what does fruit look like? In what way are we known?
How is it produced? By love! Love of Jesus! This is how we are known!! That's the only edification we have!
Thoughts?
