In his classic book Knowing God, J. I. Packer wrote: "If you want to judge how well a person understands Christianity, find out how much he makes of the thought of being God’s child, and having God as his Father. If this is not the thought that prompts and controls his worship and prayers and his whole outlook on life, it means that he does not understand Christianity very well at all. . . . 'Father” is the Christian name for God.'" The doctrine of adoption is indeed integral to the gospel. But sadly, many Christians have never considered the rich implications of their adoption. What does the doctrine of adoption mean, and where is it most prominently taught in the Bible? It means that the true and living God, the Creator of the...

"The power many are in search of, lies no further than the one in the mirror. Until this truth is fully accepted, many will search in vain. Make no mistake, each shall be accountable. Responsibility shall be in ones own doing. Until it is firmly acknowledged, many are left with foolish hope of miraculous things to happen just for asking, but with no honest commitment of ones own self to strive for personal improvement. It must be fully understood.....'GOD'S WORK HAS BEEN DONE'...... We have been given all the instructions required to hopefully lead a productive life. Do we not ourselves, so often bring cause of our own difficulties...been there, believe it. By the grace of God, I have come...

Well, another 30 days have flown by (actually 31 as I forgot to keep on top of it) and I still have not masturbated since realizing how truly amazing it is to be in love with someone. More good news - still no sex, porn, or wet dreams over the past month either. I have gone 61 days without any masturbating and 38 days without a wet dream as well, it looks like after 9 years of constant weekly relapse, I am finally giving this up cold turkey. Thank Jesus, and thank you all who have been praying for me in this. Only when a full 90 days have gone by do psychologists consider an addiction truly broken and unlikely to relapse, so keep praying, wish me luck, and thank-you. This addiction is finally going down! Praise the Lord!

The Lord Gives & the Lord Takes Away, Let His Name Be Praised!

All Christians should be ready for His appearing in the clouds in majesty and great glory. Jesus is at the door. Amen

LET HIM WHO IS WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE Do not murmur, ridicule nor slander for in doing so, you dig your own pit. God cannot be tricked and He will not be mocked; for He knows the very intent of every heart. Luke 6:28 - . . . “Bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. . . Love your enemies, do good to them. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.” It works, not simply because we speak it; any one can say anything: But, because it is “His Word” . . . for His Word is who He is. GOD IS HIS WORD John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. So then, it is from a humbled and contrite spirit that God...

All Christians have this wonderful hope hidden in their hearts and minds. Heaven and earth shall pass away but Gods word shall never ever pass away. Coming to You o Lord. Help us to read Your word with open mind and heart. Listen, I will tell you a mystery. We shall not all die, but we shall be changed. In an instant, in a twinkling of an eye, at the last trumphet. For the trumphet shall sound and the dead shall be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. I Cor. 15.51 All glory to God for this wonderful promise shall come to pass,.

""All scripture is given by INSPIRATION of God, and is PROFITABLE for DOCTRINE, for REPROOF, for CORRECTION, for INSTRUCTION in RIGHTEOUSNESS." "BORN AGAIN shall not be as SAVED, for here lies a truth so overlooked, as to bring cause of confusion and warped thoughts, leading to lives being forever in spiritual disarray."...A difference of Night and Day, not to be denied in any age. "Scripture has been 'preached' with every conceivable imagination of man, and it is of no merit to agree or disagree with the dividing factions of the many 'religious' organizations, with good and bad intentions and motives...for here lies the choice each shall have to decide. It must be remembered...INSTRUCTIONS OF...

Why are people, lost? Let's remember that "all mankind has sinned and fallen short of the glory of God" (Rom 3:23). They are "dead in their trespasses and sins" (Eph 2:1). In Adam, all died (1 Cor 15:22). The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers so they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. (2 Cor 4:4). How are people actually saved? We need the light and power of the Holy Spirit to break in creating faith in the hearts of those who hear THE RIGHT MESSAGE preached about Christ. What is the message about Christ? He had a different birth attested by signs in the heavens to fulfill prophecy. He was born The Son of God. He was The Messiah. We must mention His being perfect...

Questions and Answers - Based on real conversation(s) - -------------------------------------------- Anon: There is no God Newbie: The Bible says, "The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God." (Psalm 14:1) Only a fool actually believes the God doesn't exist. Anon: Convenient. So, according to the verse you just quoted, if I don't believe in God, I am a fool. But I consider you to be the fool. After all, you believe in God, but can you prove to me His existence? Or failing that, can you at least prove to me that the Bible is the Word of God? Newbie: I cannot prove the existence of God nor can I prove the validity of the Bible. But I know that there is a God, I know He exists, because...
