While looking for something entertaining to watch during the long weekend, my wife and I rented the movie Transcendence. Its about a really clever fellow who wants to understand the mysteries of the universe and believes that a technology based artificial intelligence is the way to find such...

Dictionary definition of hubris : excessive pride or self-confidence; arrogance. God calls this sin. Is there a kind of pride which is not sin? The prophet Jeremiah spoke of such: Thus says the Lord: "Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, let not the mighty man glory in his might, nor let...

When we read the writings of the Apostle Paul we find in a number of places an analogy of the church in the form of "the body of Christ" and Paul teaches us that the body can only function properly if each part does what it was created to do. 4. For as we have many members in one body, but all...

Over the course of the last week or so, the "grace to you" program has been airing messages from the "Strange Fire" conference hosted by John MacArthur. While I thought this conference was supposed to be about the more bizarre aspects of the current "charismatic movement," from what I've been...

"Towering genius disdains a beaten path. It seeks regions hitherto unexplored. It sees no distinction in adding story to story upon the monuments of fame erected to the memory of others. It denies that it is glory enough to serve under any chief. It scorns to tread in the footsteps of any...

I listen to a local "christian" radio station that carries a wide variety of "christian" teaching. Recently they have shuffled program time slots around, did some deletions and additions, and I laud them for pushing their infomercials to less "prime time" slots. One new show, a call in one...

I wrote some messages years ago which I posted on this site more recently which I titled 7 messages for our time, 7 indictments against our nation. These were just messages about the spiritual condition of the USA and by extension, of the western world. I felt lead by the Lord to write them, to...

I was playing with my Astronomy software and found what promises to make for an interesting sunrise on the Jersey shore on the morning of November 3rd of this year, approximately 7:25 AM. Can anybody on the forum give any confirmation?

I caught a few seconds of news yesterday while on a break and did the president of the United States really say "God bless planned parenthood?" Perhaps he meant that God should bless the good things that they do for women as opposed to the millions of abortions that they perform on demand. Lord...

According to an article written by Reverand Thomas Nasta, the National Chaplain of the First Catholic Slovak Union of the United States and Canada, the RC church will be offering indulgences to remove part of or all temporal punishment for sin, courtesy of Pope Benedict and his proclamaition of...

I recently began reading through the scriptures again starting with Genesis and I wasn't through 2 chapters when the Lord began teaching me something I hadn't seen before, though it isn't strictly anything new. I'm not presenting a complete study, but rather some rudimentary notes and selected...

Here's a novel approach to making a choice for the upcoming election. Why not pray to the Lord and ask Him specifically who to vote for? I'm not saying that the Lord will take sides in the election, but the purpose of prayer is largely to conform us to His will. If you pray each day, read the...

This evening I was reading through the latest issue of National Geographic that I'd received through my subscription to that magazine and read an interesting article about recent political developments in Yemen. That country has been a stronghold for militant Islam, and Alqueda has a strong...

I’d written a message quite a few years ago, one that was not well received by many who stand in the pulpits of our churches. This was a teaching on the practice of tithing within the church at large and a rebuke against those who would misuse law for personal gain or simply out of a faithless...

I'm not familiar with this fellow, as I've only heard songs about him and seen him a few times on TV, but this fellow, who's real last name is Romney, was a major driving force of the Peace movement in the late 60s and early 70s. His charitable organizations reach around the world. I saw a...

This is just a sort of quiz. The Icthus, or "fish" symbol used by christianity is drawn quickly with one bow above and one inverted bowl below (sometimes the ends of both bows are connected for the "tail"). If the bow on top represented a covenant, which one would it be, and then what would be...

Hi Everybody, I hope that you all had a wonderful thanksgiving day or Succoth, or whatever you'd like to call it. I had an exceptionally good weekend myself and the sunset on Friday was by far the most awesome that I ever saw. I was outside waitng to see what the end of the day had to...

I was listening to a certain gentleman on the radio this morning, and I have a question for him, and you should too. There is a verse in 2nd Peter which I find to be one of the most cryptic statements in the Bible, though the meaning may be quite simple: 2 Peter 1:19 We have also a more sure...

If you don't like stories then don't even bother reading past this sentence, but I wrote a short parable, that is, a story to teach a moral lesson and it doesn't have any great weight to it. I didn't quote scripture directly even once, but this is a discussion forum, not a bible study forum and...

As we are engaged on these boards in the practice of identifying the man of sin, the son of perdition, the one called antichrist, we need to understand that since the time of Christ there have been many antichrists. The spirit of antichrist is the spirit of the age and ascends from the adversary...
