Genesis Chapter 1 accounts for God creating everything and after each element it was stated that "it was good". Therefore Adam and Eve must have know what is good. All that they learnt from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil could only have been what is evil. Essential that Tree has been...

So... deal with what you have to at the moment. I doubt if the promise to your wife means you have to get married again immediately and... you really should not. We need time to grieve. The most eligible single lady at my Church lost her husband something like a decade ago and she still has...

Well... two years would be better if you are thinking in terms of starting another relationship... at least... that's what they recommend in divorce recovery and the death of a spouse is similar (only without any hope of reconciliation... so you don't have to go through the 'what if' bit). I...

I do not know what was seen in another person's vision. Some of what the brother in my fellowship saw has provided, for him, some clarity on what has been written within scripture and a different perspective in some matters. Every teaching/word must be consistent with scripture and others within...

Baptist is a pretty fundamental denomination in which to be raised. (We don't have Southern Baptist so much where I'm from so I can only comment about the Church I was raised in). It tends to provide a fairly strong moral basis and a trust in the Word of God as being complete and infallible...

Ok. I suspect that all this comes done to motivations and relationship. Anyone who does not have relationship with God (through a personal commitment to Jesus Christ) is going to have motivations that are not of Him. They will worship an object, rather than God, because they think that, by doing...

Being caught up to see that which is in heaven is not solely reserved for near death. It can happen for some as the Spirit has something to put upon the heart of His people. Not something I can speak to personally but we have had some within our fellowship that have been to heaven in a vision...

Sigh, I told myself I would make no more comment in this strip but, perhaps, I must. New Testament is clear. Those who proclaim the gospel should live of the Gospel. Perhaps I should have included the subsequent verses as well. 1Co 9:9 For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not...

Well, for me, I cannot see that Acts 4:21 has much of anything that would constitute any call to action as a Christian unless you take the point that "all men glorified God for that which was done". In context, God had just healed, by Peter's hand, a man born lame and, after witnessing about...

In Australia it seems like the Baptist Church and the Church of Christ had common origins. I was informed that there was some sort of split in the church and, I think, the Church of Christ broke away from the Baptists but I have been unable to find out what caused that split. They must have been...

ANZAC day today. 25th April.

Down under the AOG church 'rebranded' in 2007. I am not sure why. (A common reason tends to be so that the group can disassociate themselves from bad publicity arising from some individual fellowships). The Assemblies of God in Australia is now calling themselves Australian Christian Churches...

It is Ok. It's just a little sadness It's a good sadness because it takes the focus off my big sadness's and reminds me that others have had times where we need to provide, if possible, some comfort and support. The Lord bless you heaps!

Some times even the best spouse acts or speaks without sufficient consideration of how the other will react. And then you have the spouse who you wonder what you ever saw in them that you chose to marry them. Obviously there are a lot of duds out there but also there are some really nice people...

Oh boy! Did I get grief when I called my wife 'woman'! If we'd had a dog then I'd have been sleeping in his house... on more than one occasion (I'm a slow learner sometimes). She was my 'sweetheart' and she loved me calling her that.

Ok then... musical notation would have to be a lot more recent innovation than from Biblical times. The Psalms were songs meant to be accompanied by instrumentation as can be seen from some of the performance instructions included with them. eg Psa 4:1 For the Chief Musician; on stringed...

Yeah... I suppose I'd not use 'kid' myself but 'child' or 'children' seems a bit less personal than 'kid'. Personally I'd prefer 'son' or, for one of my girls, 'lass' (but not 'lassie'... my distant Scottish ancestry only goes so far and a children's TV show killed that endearment).

Pal Handy, I find that playing and worshipping is not something that needs to be a public thing... you do it because that's who you are... even if there is nobody around to hear you. The songs I write maybe nobody else will ever hear but I write them anyway. I write them for me... and for the...

Well... I'm not sure that God has any preferences how music is produced since he built it into some of the angelic host... Eze 28:13 Thou wast in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, the topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the...

It takes time to adjust to being single again. After my first wife divorced me I was not marriageable for years. Even after I met another lady, with whom I had a lot in common, it still took some time before the baggage (pain, hopes etc) from my previous marriage were dealt with. It was almost...
