    Who are you here for?

    The pastor where I go to church had a message where he said sometimes people ask the question "Why am I here?" or "What am I suppose to do with my life?" and he suggested that instead of asking that question a better question would be "Who am i here for?" We discussed this in my men's group...

    What do you look for in a church?

    I have been attending a church for the last two or three months and am trying to decide if I should stay or go. It is non denominational, which is different than Baptist which I have been for the last 30 years. There are some things I like about it. They have contemporary music and...

    Rapture?

    When I was growing up I was told that the next event would be the rapture of the church. I was told that this rapture would be invisible and in a blind of an eye. Then the 7 years of tribulation would occur and then the 1,000 year reign of Christ on earth would happen soon after that. I don't...

    Pursuing Wealth

    The Bible seems to discourage believers from pursuing wealth or prosperity. Here is what it says in James 1:9-11 9 "Believers in humble circumstances ought to take pride in their high position. 10 But the rich should take pride in their humiliation—since they will pass away like a wild flower...

    Your tithe doesn't have to go to the church

    "It’s not that giving to your local church isn’t important—it is, leaders told the National Association of Evangelicals (NAE). But 76 percent say it’s fine if you want to give part of your tithe to a different ministry. “Many evangelical leaders do not believe there’s a biblical requirement to...

    Consider it joy

    James 1:2-4 says, "Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance, and let endurance have its perfect result, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing." When I read that first I think it is...

    voices week 3

    In the sermon this week the pastor I heard mentioned that there are a lot of voices or people and things that demand our attention. We have a choice about what we allow ourselves to fix our thoughts on. He referred to passages such as Prov 4:23, Romans 12:2 and 2 Corinthians 10:5 and Proverbs...

    the radiance of his glory

    Hebrews 1:3-4 says "And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power.

    Do you give things up for revival or prayer?

    My pastor this last Sunday asked us what we were willing to give up for revival. I have been thinking about it for several days and decided i am giving up soda. i drink a lot of it. I think it would be fair to say if you have Diet Pepsi stock you should sell now because I drink a lot of it...

    Making Plans

    I was watching Charles Stanley's Sunday message that he titled Planning without God. He started by focusing on how the people of the world joined together to build the tower of Babel and God confused their language. They wanted to build a big tower, but God had other plans. They didn't ask him...

    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...

    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.

    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...

    Favorite Bible Character Besides Jesus

    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.
