    5 Reasons Biblical Marriage Is Relevant for Current Generations

    Of course, I know your question is rhetorical. Of course Christians should NEVER change their morals, standards, and values as they derive from the Bible first and foremost...NO OTHER SOURCE, OPINION, FEELING, OR EMOTION!!! Second, the Holy Spirit writes the moral code on man's hearts, so they...

    Obey the Sabbath!

    There are some (usually about 10% of Christians), who would say that Christians should worship/obey the letter of the law in obeying the Sabbath on a Saturday. In fact, they would say that if you go to church and worship the Lord on a Sunday, you are living in sin. Particularly those in the...

    To Give or Not to Give

    There are some who would propagate that it is not right to tithe (give) to the Christian church, because it is not stated in the New Testament. Does a Christian have an obligation to tithe to his or her home church? Should a Christian take complete ownership with where and how they give or is...

    Moral obligation to not give to secular charities?

    Yes, your assessment about the O.T. tithing practice is correct, in regards to a greater portion to tithe. The figure is actually 20% + 3% every three years! Praise God He doesn't have us accountable under those figures. Under the New Covenant, we are not under the law, but grace. Bow, grace...

    I want to go to Heaven soon

    How often do you read your Bible? How often do you go to church?

    Moral obligation to not give to secular charities?

    Yes! Very true! But the LGBTQ through satan's leading, has hi-jacked and perverted the rainbow! Now these days, when you see the rainbow used, 9 out of 10 times, it is to give credit and glory to the LGBTQ community. And don't think for one second that the Christian church is immune! Half...

    Moral obligation to not give to secular charities?

    Okay...you are obviously offended at my post! Look, I absolutely disagree with your assessment of giving to secular charities. Lines have to be drawn some where and who is going to be the determiner factor of where those lines are drawn to give out to charities...your emotions!? That is the...

    Moral obligation to not give to secular charities?

    Okay...that verse was taken out of context from Luke 6:32. And the context of the passage was about loving all men...even your enemies. It is a stretch from the passage to conclude that Jesus was talking about giving money to the poor outright (walking around the street giving free monetary...

    Church policy about rides with the opposite sex

    Agreed! Not over-shepherding or controlling, but having an in-house policy (spoken or not spoken), to watch out for predators that come in with ulterior motives. I think its normal that most churches have security. At least here in California. If you are in a small country bumpkin church...

    Church policy about rides with the opposite sex

    What exactly does that mean that it seems off? What are you getting at or inferring? Your answering is rooted in skepticism, criticism, and cynicism. You don't know me, nor I you, but I can deduce from your response in this thread, that you tend to look at the negative on things with a very...

    Church policy about rides with the opposite sex

    That is presumptious and naive! I don't think you have spent much time in the church to know the needs of a church. You have ladies that are disabled, blind, never got their driver's license. Sometimes the doctor has to put in a order to the DMV to revoke a license. There are also those who...

    Church policy about rides with the opposite sex

    I would post this in the "Christian Ministries" section, but this question does NOT fit any of the categories. So here it is: Do you think churches should have a policy about not allowing rides by the opposite sex, when the couple is not married, engaged, or dating? I have personally seen men...

    Is God angry at me?

    That is horrible advice to give to a Christian who is down!!! You are saying that Faith over Fear is separated from God because of a particular sin! Don't believe that lie! Is our relationship and right standing before God based upon our works!? Is this a give and take relationship? Am I to...

    Homosexual brother is angry with me and refuses to understand

    Remember, as your quote says on your avatar...Yes, Jesus send the Holy Spirit to us to convict us of sin, righteousness, and judgement! No one is born a homosexual! It is not innate! There is not "gay jean!" Now, the Bible is super clear, that man is born with a sin nature...that much is...

    How can you financially support a church whose finances are in a secret black box?

    I followed the Kent Hovind story religiously! He is not a good guy at all! I thought there was a conspiracy of the government to target him, but you can read all about his constant challenges, manipulations, lying, cheating, fraud, and physical violence against his estranged wife. He received...

    Calvary Chapel Downey's Jeff Johnson's Memorial Service

    Did anyone sit under Pastor Jeff's teaching or have any fond memories? His memorial service is coming up on April 6 @ 11am. I have met Pastor Jeff several times at various events and always admired his teaching and humility. He was a great man of God and will be greatly missed. Here is the...

    How can you financially support a church whose finances are in a secret black box?

    I live in the USA! And yes, IRS requires records to be kept 7 years (the IRS can technically go back 10 years or I think indefinitely, if fraud is found). What I respond in this thread has nothing to do with accountability or governmental regulations...that is common sense, if you are going to...
