What was the first bible verse you learned by heart?

Matthew 7:7-11 and Luke 11:9-13 both say about the same thing that if we Ask, Seek, Knock that the Lord will provide. How do those verses correlate to God saying No when we ask for things?

Do you think that there are people who lie to God? What about those who are stuck in sin and refuse to admit it's sin? I think those people lie to themselves as well as God.

Martin Luther wrote a lot of hymns to teach the people about God. It's funny that as I get older and get some brain fog at times, that I can easily remember hymns. Do you find it easy to remember hymns? Most of the hymns in the Lutheran Service Book come from scripture and I find that when my...

Do we know with certainty that Judas went to hell?

There are some gifts given to believers listed in the bible that could be considered supernatural, such as healing. What other supernatural ones can you come up with?

Philippains 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. When God makes requirements of man, He also provides for us so that it gets finished. That's the great and powerful God that we have, truly loving and merciful.

John 15:5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. Thoughts on this verse, especially the "apart from me you can do nothing" ?

What are some examples of current day wrestling with God?

I came across a video where one of our members here, I won't say his name unless he wants me to...but he said "Satan works by denying God's justice". I think that's a really profound statement. My thoughts are that If God isn't just and if God hasn't justified us, then Satan wins. He wins...

Philippians 2:13 ... for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure. A lot of people think that Philippians 2:12 means we work "for" our salvation, but that verse says "work out", not for. The next line, which is quoted above, shows how God is at work in His...

I'm not sure if I ever heard the quote "God will never let anyone outgive Him" but I heard it today and it made a huge impact. It's not a verse taken from the bible, but there are verses that prove it to be true: John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that...

What are some things the Lord won't do for you?

1 John 5:9 If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater, for this is the testimony of God that he has borne concerning his Son. This is the biggest reason to push for God's testimony over ours :)

One thing that Luther teaches in the Lutheran catechism is the following I believe that I cannot by my own reason or strength believe in Jesus Christ, my Lord, or come to Him; but the Holy Ghost has called me by the Gospel, enlightened me with His gifts, sanctified and kept me in the true...

What are your thoughts on churches that preach that Jesus will only save you if YOU do something, pray something, give something, etc...?

How would you define what a Christian is in the simplest terms?

Today many churches will celebrate Ascension Day... the 40th day after Easter. Here is a wonderful quote from Joann Gerhard: Christ came from heaven for our redemption; He returns thither for our glorification. He was born in the flesh for us, He suffered for us, and therefore He ascended...

Someone posted on Facebook today about Eve and Satan's conversation and how Satan didn't try to tell her to worship him. Instead, he told her she could be like God, turning her focus off of the true God and onto herself. That reminded me of the conversation between Jesus and Satan where Satan...

The scriptures calls believers saints in quite a few places. So why do Catholics not do the same for all believers? Here are some verses: Acts 9:13 But Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard from many of this man, how much evil he did to thy saints at Jerusalem: Philippians 4:21 Salute every...
