    When The penny drops.

    Yes, I've seen them play Calvin University, my alma mater, in basketball. I've heard good things about Hillsdale.

    Colossians and the Gospel

    @Him, you seem to have quoted or paraphrased the first two chapters of Colossians. What version did you use? The KJV? And what point or question do you want to make about it? The next two chapters supply many of Paul's commands about the truths of the chapters you quoted. What is their relationship?

    You will know them by their fruits

    "Fruits" also include words as well as actions. When we compare their words with the Bible's teachings, we can determine whether they are true to it or not!

    Discussions on the Sabbath & Resting in Jesus

    The early church could have chosen any day, perhaps Wednesday or Thursday, to worship and rest under the NEW covenant, as instituted by Jesus, who says as much at his Last Supper (Luke 22:20). Luk 22:20 And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup that is poured out for you is...

    Sunday Worship vs. the Biblical Sabbath

    Are you still killing people when they break the Sabbath rules @Frankj? Of course not. The NEW covenant, which Jesus instituted in Luke's account of the Last Supper, replaces Passover with the Lord's Supper and circumcision with baptism. However, the inner principles of one day in seven, rest...

    Addictions

    You are misinterpreting my statement by reading into it meaning that isn't there, @Can't think of a name. I'm saying that if you ONLY depend on feelings to experience God, you will miss his revealing himself through your thinking and will in ADDITION to your feelings. God saved me primarily...

    A personal prayer request

    Please pray for me. I'm experiencing a major physical pain attack. I've had chronic pain for 39 years; it has been my "thorn in the flesh" like Paul's in 2 Corinthians 12:1-10, while I was a pastor and now while I'm a published author. The intense pain I have now is the worst it's been in all...

    When The penny drops.

    Our church is very informal and contemporary with a praise band singing biblical songs, prayers, and a 30-minute sermon following a Bible text closely. It is a huge church for our West Michigan Bible Belt that is based on small groups that discuss the most-recent sermon and pray for each other's...

    I would assume that 90% of your childhood embarrasment is made by evil forces

    Yeah, I had a dysfunctional family while growing up and was very lonely until Jesus filled up that void when I was 16. Then, he began to change my life to conform to God's will. He's still at work in the same way now at my age of 83!

    Addictions

    @Can't think of a name, why do you have to "feel" God's presence? If we depend on God to affect our emotions every time, we may be missing out when he wants to improve our reasoning or decision-making, which don't really have much to do with our feelings.

    Discussions on the Sabbath & Resting in Jesus

    @grumix8, one of the mistakes Bible interpreters make is to argue from the silence of Scripture. What it doesn't say in any verse fails to make the point that the Bible's whole teaching (about the differences between the old and new covenants, for example) may give us the Bible's principles for...

    Did you know God can sing?

    Well, @jesus lover, God spoke with his own voice the Ten Commandments on Mt. Sinai. Therefore, his singing voice must be ultra-beautiful. Exo 20:1 And God spoke all these words, saying, Exo 20:2 “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery...

    When The penny drops.

    @Can't think of a name, I like talking to secular people but will not adopt their lifestyles. But I will witness to them when God gives me the opportunity. That is, I share what God has done in my life without at all expecting them to experience similar things in theirs. We are seed-scatterers...

    What do you think makes christianity.Stand out from every other religion out there?:)

    @jesus lover, Christianity has the only true God in contrast to all the other religions. He is THREE Persons (the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit) in ONE God. Jesus is all-God and all-human. These two truths are mysterious but true, because the Bible presents them.

    Addictions

    James says that if we ask God selfishly, he will say "no." You know whether or not the thing you asked for happens or not. He has never talked to me audibly in my many decades of being a Christian. He either puts ideas that he blesses in my mind, or he arranges my circumstances to show me that...

    I have been in that dark and lonley place where everyone is against you

    @Holy999, it sounds as though you're depressed. Get psychological help to find out what you're really depressed about, perhaps from your childhood. Then, share your feelings honestly with God in prayer many times and seek his peace until he gives it to you. If the person you go to does not...
