"The Cross of Christ" by John Stott

/"He Lives" / "Up from the Grave He Arose" / "Hallelujah, Christ Arose" / No complaints here!

You read all these books.....very impressive. Yesterday, I played hop-scotch with a group of seniors while we all ate bananas at a senior center in Burkina Faso. I don't think anyone that was playing ever read any of the books you mentioned......but we had a really good time.

I once met a man that was truly legitimately converted after watching "The PTL Club" featuring Jim and Tammy Baker. Whenever sin, the death of Christ and the resurrection are presented to an individual the Holy Spirit can work in any way He wants. On this forum the abuses of the past are...

Why would a Christian that has Christ living within them feel the need to gamble? If you are playing for fun then there are many games you can play that do not involve money. The point of gambling is to win money. Greed is idolatry - why would a follower of Jesus want to gamble in His...

I really was not referring to you at all. When I read the statement of the speaker saying that someone was definitely in hell and someone mentioned they did not feel that was a wise thing to do I agreed with them. I have no idea what you mean when you say, " Can't speak for yourself?" However...

Well said! It reminded me of the two men on the road to Emmaus after the resurrection in Luke that heard Jesus explain everything in the Old Testament that pointed to Him but they did not recognize Him. Then, suddenly, He revealed Himself. The Holy Spirit touched you at the perfect time so...

aleshanee, I HAVE SPEND HOURS ON THE LINK YOU THAT GAVE ABOVE. THANK YOU FOR THE HEAD'S UP

Unbelievable link. Thank you, aleshanee

Congratulations. I am so happy for you. I know you are trying to keep this light (you're excited about this I'm sure)) but God has called you to a very heavy task. May His grace touch you as you proclaim the gospel and spread His word.

Scott, I too have wrestled for quite a while with covenant theology. I have never heard CHS's point of view. It sounds to me like class covenant theology. How is it different? (I am not arguing, just trying to understand. I love Spurgeon and have never heard this).

Christ upon the cross could only experience the wrath and judgement of God. He was forsaken by the Father because our sin was upon Him. He could not apply the 23rd Psalm to Himself (.....for Thou art with Me") but He could apply Psalm 22 to Himself ("My God, My God......). Being forsaken by...

Very sad - 1 Cor.10:12, "Therefore let anyone who thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall."

I am 71 years old and I can remember hearing him speak as a teenager. I also remember a few of the guys mocking him to cover up the fact that their hearts had been touched in some way by his message. He was a fine messenger of God.

I am not nor have I ever been IFB> I have wondered what their motivation is. It is obvious that there has been abuses. However, the IFB Pastors that I have met have been people that I can call friends and brothers in Christ and should not be lumped in with the abusers. What they are doing is...

The word gossip occurs 4 times in the ESV and 6 times in the NIV. Here are the ESV renderings: Ezekiel 36:3 therefore prophesy, and say, Thus says the Lord God: Precisely because they made you desolate and crushed you from all sides, so that you became the possession of the rest of the...

When someone says, "God gave me......." many times what they are really saying is that no one can argue or disagree with this. I have had God give me quite a bit but 99.9% of the time it is in the study of the scriptures. I have had God convict me and direct me - but even then we must be...

I am no expert in Bible prophecy (I'm not sure they exist) but one verse that has always puzzled me is Isaiah 65:20, which says: "No more shall there be in it an infant who lives but a few days, or an old man who does not fill out his days, for the young man shall die a hundred years old, and...
