    The Cheer Me Up Thread

    A Baptist is rescued on a deserted island. The people who rescue him notice that there are three huts. They ask him "Why are there three huts and only one of you?" "Oh, that's easy" he replies. "One is where I live. The other is where I go to church. The third is where I use to go to church."

    Paul in Jerusalem

    Two possible sections of scripture might shed some light on why Paul did what he did. The first is in 1 Corinthians 9:20 "And to the Jews I becBEame as a Jew, that I might win the Jews; to those who are under the Law, as under the Law, though not being myself under the Law, that I might win...

    Paul in Jerusalem

    I guess the whole idea of him going there when there was still animal sacrifices and other regulations that they followed bothers me. This is the same Paul that exhorted the Galatians not to add to the gospel a list of requirements. Yes, they could circumcise if they wanted to, but it didn't...

    Paul in Jerusalem

    Paul arrives in Jerusalem in Acts 21 and he went to the elders and to James and told what the Lord had been doing. They said to him "and they have been told about you, that you are teaching all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children...

    Disasters and Trump

    It was polarized far earlier than President Obama. Social media added a new level of ability to be publicly critical of the President and anyone else for that matter. Otherwise, the news of the community which might have to travel through word of mouth or over the phone and would take a lot...

    What NOT to Do in Church

    One time the kids in the neighborhood vandalized the sign in front of the church and changed the message to read "We worship naked". I told the congregation that morning that i wasn't sure if it would bring people to church or drive people away. . .

    What Good is Prayer?

    I think we have to get away from the idea that prayer is somehow about telling God what to do or informing God about something. God doesn't need information from me. Neither, as Sovereign God do I tell him what to do. I share my concerns with him and the burdens on my heart, but the ultimate...

    Dinosaurs and Spaceships

    The Lord was teaching Peter that the animals that he thought were unclean were not, in preparation for teaching Peter that some of the people he thought were unclean and unreachable were not. Immediately after this he goes to Cornelius' house who was a Gentile and sees God bestow on them the...

    Disasters and Trump

    When I first saw the title of the thread I thought you were talking about the disaster that is Trump's Presidency. I thought he did pretty well with Hurricane Harvey and Irma, but really stuck his foot in his mouth with Puerto Rico. Honestly, this President is an embarrasement. He acts like...

    Different types of love our neighbor

    There is also tough love, which sometimes means allowing a person to experience the consequences of their behavior without rescuing them. I found that a lot of parents are well meaning and will rescue their kids from experiencing consequences and do them a disservice by doing so. One example is...
