    Who is really responsible for Salvation?

    Calvinism paints a picture of a God who preplanned the salvation of each individual, that the number that was to be saved was fixed before creation, and that the will or actions of man play no part in man's eternal destiny. As stated in The Westminster Confession of Faith: God, for the...

    How flexible is God's planning

    Although I believe God has a plan for His creation, I believe it flexes with man's choices. The fact is God does not "cause" any man to sin. Sin, specifically fornication can lead to childbirth, and whole generations of change. So God's plan must flex, with the choices of people. Do we see...

    If you tithe have you considered the tithe for the poor

    I was looking into biblical tithing for the needy in today’s reading (we do a daily scripture reading). It turns out there were 3 types of tithes. The first is for the priests of 10%, a second of 10% for rejoicing before the LORD in festivals, and a third of 3.33% for the poor and needy. 1. The...

    Prayer needed

    Hi all, There have been some things with the preaching at our church that I have disagreed with. It is not that people do not have the Holy Spirit, but just that the preaching has become unbalanced. There are just areas that I feel do not follow the pattern God has laid down. We had a prayer...

    What would you add or subtract from this?

    There has been some discussion in our church around how we should express the idea of healing for people. This is something I have been thinking over. Adding your thoughts would be valuable. I start by quoting the scriptures on this topic then write some conclusions. Mat 21:21-22 So Jesus...

    Prayer and Healing

    Jesus said that our faith, even a small seed of it, will result in an answered prayer. However, what are the blockages to answered prayer? Mark 11:23-25 For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be removed and be cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but...

    A life of struggle, but now in a good place

    I am going to share the story of my life in the hope that you will see that through difficulties God can bring us out to a good place. As a Child I grew up in the state of Tasmania, I remember fondly the younger years, playing as a Child on the beaches of Crayfish Creek where I grew up, before...

    Trouble, Judgment, and forgiveness

    After I was saved, I became disgruntled with life, and returned to a sin I had before I was a Christian. This resulted in around 10 years of wandering through a wilderness of curses. I believed in my heart that my sin was unpardonable, and lived in daily terror of hell. It was only after some...

    What is true saving grace?

    1Ti 2:3-6 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time...

    God does not select people for damnation

    God's nature is such that He desires all people to come to Him (although not all respond). He does not take pleasure in the death of the wicked. Eze 33:11 Say to them: 'As I live,' says the Lord GOD, 'I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and...

    Restoring the Gift of Speaking in Tongues

    I have been rediscovering the gift of Tongues and Interpretation. Thanks to Open AI’s ability to interpret know languages. I have found that the gift given to the church in it’s early days still operates. We should be thinking of allowing it to operate in our churches, in its original form. Its...

    Speaking in Tongues and Siri

    I have always wanted to know if my tongue that I speak in the Spirit was a genuine one. I have occasionally had an interest in finding out. So tonight I used Detect Language: Using AI for Text, Audio, Video, and Image an AI tool that can predict what language you are speaking. The tool told me...

    Update on the Valdres Prophecy

    This week I brought the Valdres Prophecy The Valdres Prophecy up with my church pastors. He had a chat to me today and asked me to read Mathew 24, and offered to have further discussion if I wanted it. To make things easier to understand I wrote an email, so it could be discussed in detail...

    Will Australia be hit in Putin's war

    I have been sharing the following word with churches The Valdres Prophecy, that suggests that Australia will be a target of Putin's war. I sent it to our church pastor. He initially responded by quoting: Mat 24:6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for...

    Trump the Best Candidate

    I am an Australian but have had time off work due to recovering from an operation and have been able to follow the US election in detail, watching the types of policies that both candidates are putting forward. As a Christian it is clear Trump is the best candidate by a long shot. Trump...

    Warning to the People

    Hi, I have been studying the following prophecy for some years, seeking to know if it was genuine, and on all accounts I have found that the source is a genuine one, having watched Minos (in video form) deliver it. It is called the Valdres Prophecy. It accurately tells events from the day it...

    Prayer for Peace

    Hi all, I have sent out some emails today to our local media outlets, with a message that I believe is relevant to the church and people in general. I am hoping they look into the content, and present it in a clear way. Please pray that 1) I have peace of mind, 2) that if it is God's will the...

    Valdres Prophecy from 1964

    The last part of this post is a prophecy given back in around 1964. It was received by a 90 year old woman, and delivered to a Christian preacher Emanuel Minos, who was known as the Billy Graham of the North. At the time that he wrote it down he felt it too extreme to be true, so put it away in...

    Prayer for the Russia / Ukraine conflict

    Hi all, I have been watching some YouTube videos on WW3 from a Christian perspective. I have long held the belief that the current conflict has been allowed due to the sins of the nations, both the church's prayerlessness and the physical sins of the world. I have also felt that the conflict...

    God has not set in stone the plan for man.

    I would like to show that God's generational plans alter based upon our actions. An action we take today can change, the future generations, and how they play out. To show this let's look at the life of Saul. And Samuel said to Saul, “You have done foolishly. You have not kept the commandment...
