A friend of mine in India has been updating me about the escalating fear and intimidation of Christians in India for some months now. Its stunning how quickly its ramped up there in just the last few months. He says the violence and persecution is still building, and there doesn't seem to be any rational reason for the upswing
I'm a bit surprised that the author of this story thinks the law of reaping and sowing is unscriptural.
I have found that social media is a platform for combining mystic and gnostic ideas with Christianity. Some professing Christians have FB pages that more resemble New Age books than Christianity
btw- The Elect of the Church of Ephesus are neither Jew nor Gentile, but new creatures in Christ
From the get go, I wondered why Trump kept Comey on board. Now, I must conclude Trump wasn't ready to remove James at the time. Whatever changed, the timing is right at this time. My best speculation is that a suitable replacement wasn't available 4 months ago and one that Donald likes is now available. Also, I don't think the acting director will be there long either.

Greetings Pastor, thank you for the link describing the great blessings the people of Russia are receiving from OUR LORD. Ive personally spent time with the Orthodox in the Occupied Territories and have lamented their earthly captivity with them, but we rejoice together in Christ as we share the greatest victory. In Russia, even government servants are returning to the faith of their fathers. The very people that mocked GOD a few years ago are returning and are being grafted in to the Elect of the Davidic Kingdom. To GOD be the Glory, Amen
As you know men are desperately wicked, and even when they are shown the light they will distort it. Its no different here. I mean here here
Blessings to the PCA and Thank You for the labor in nourishing GODs People

I sent a text message to the man who was to pick me up on Sunday for church that I was unable to attend church and be Baptized and to tell the minister I would reschedule the Baptism. Yesterday I sent a private message on Facebook to the minister telling him I would like to reschedule the Baptism. But I attended Mass on late Saturday afternoon at the local Catholic parish.
Ever think it was divine Providence? Why else would the wicked inquire so deeply after they have insulted you for years.
During the Reformation, it wasn't just illegal to be rebaptized, in some jusrisdictions the practice was prohibited by the death penalty

This coming Sunday 26 March I will be Baptized via immersion at that Baptist Church I attend on Sunday mornings. The Baptism will take place in the indoor pool of a nearby hotel.
Lets hope the men will learn from your example, and certainly their kindness towards you will be remembered on the Last Day
Carl in Greensboro wrote: Where is it specifically in Scripture where women can not preach (i.e. proclaim the Gospel); else Jesus and the angels violated that by commissioning the women at the empty tomb to tell his cowardly apostles that He had risen indeed. I see the prohibition on not teaching men and usurping man's authority. I see where they are to learn silently and not blurt out questions when a regular service is going on; but should women not be allowed to ask question in Bible Study? REALLY??? And when Paul said that 2 or 3 prophets should take turns prophesying was he excluding the daughters of Philip the Evangelist? By the way, aren't we men breaking the order of prophesying 2 or 3 at a time by having only one man speaking the entire time?
Carl The Scriptural position against Women Pastors is quite sound. What I don't understand is why the most zealous of Churches have so few men willing to teach, not just men for leadership but leaving most Sunday School instruction to the women of the congregation. Arent children the most important asset of a Church? Even further, my experience has shown men turn out in lower numbers for Bible Studies in sound Churches vs their liberal couterparts
I fail to see why people cant realize what BM has been saying for days. Either they are prejudging her posts or they have been blinded. Either way, its time to move on

Me too Lottie. Even though I can toggle, its a pain
“ Excellent Sermon! ” Thank You Pastor Joyce
Very edifying sermon for Christians wanting to understand the shadows of our redemption in the faithfulness of Ruth and Boaz in the Mosaic Law
John Yurich USA wrote: Unprofitable Servant, If River of Life Church is no longer a Baptist Church then why do church members who have Facebook accounts state under Religious Views that they are Baptist?
I just went to the website. Your Church didn't change their doctrine, just their name as a recommitment to the community they serve. I would say they appear much like any other Independent Baptist Church that dot the landscape in MN.
Its also possible that the title 'Baptist' brought negative connotations to some in that community

This reminds me of how drinking in moderation saved Western Europe from the Islamic hordes. History suggests Prince Charles repelled 80k Umayyads with a mere 30k Frankish troops at Tours. The truth is, Charles the Hammer scoured the Loire Valley for irregulars. He would show up at villages about 1am like this
Peasants: Hail Prince Charles! Charles: What ya guys doing? Peasants: Drinking in moderation {hiccup}, TVs aren't invented yet. Otherwise we would be watching womens Volleyball too{laughter} Charles: Didn't you hear the Islamic Hordes are coming? Come fight with me Peasants: Every year there is a horde. If your army loses, we will pay taxes to them. btw, Would you or the Princess like a drink? Its Biblical {burp} Charles: Umm, that's my horse not the Princess Peasants: I thought that crown was kinda big. But we don't want to fight and die Charles: Umayyads will forbid you drinking Peasants: YOU HEARD CHUCK! Grab your pitchforks!!
John Yurich USA wrote: It is not a former Baptist Church. It is still listed as being a Baptist Church. Pastor Steve has called it a Baptist Church. Members of that Baptist Church who have Facebook accounts state that they are Baptist under Religion. And I have repeatedly stated on here that I do not put my faith in the RCC way of salvation. I put my faith entirely in the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation. I will respond more later as I ran out of space.

You see a boozefest, SC sees a non alcoholic grape beverage that people enjoy more than the previously served wine(which was probably a really good wine).
