Jude 2

If I had the land and the luck, I've not done that well myself the last few years, but then I've had Daniel tagging along with me too.

After almost 15 years, the college is doing some "restructuring" and my position has been done away with. I was assured it was not due to performance, but still the results are the same, I am unemployed for the first time since I was 15. I am doing some programming work on the side and hav...

It's not an either or discussion. Education and experience can go hand in hand, and the most successful are generally those with both. I work for a college, I see many with high degrees and no common sense or experience, I see students graduate with plenty of education, but not really the experience...

I agree with Scooter, I believe most of our concepts of ministry are too much in the box. We worry more about labels sometimes than the work God has called us to. Is she following God's call on her life? Are lives being changed, souls being saved, ministry being accomplished? those are the important...

WOW ! 42 views, not even one we'll pray. I guess the old adage is correct. "Its Africa, nobody will care." Never assume no one is praying just because they don't say so, many of us don't like to post with just "I'm praying" because it just clutters up finding updates or more inf...

As a "not currently pastoring" pastor, I can agree with you CantBCoy. I'm preaching a revival right now at a church that needs to begin to be a church, rather than sitting around waiting for God to flood them with new people, or crowds to magically flood their altars. There is work out the...

I understand that, and Yes I know in those aspects that the term gift is used and yes they are given, but (as I said) the scripture also uses other terms, and in I Corinthians 12:7 I believe there is more emphasis on the term "manifestation" being that the Spirit is the one doing the work,...

I'm probably right there with you Rambo, I prefer not to even use the term "gifts" because it implies it's something given to keep. I am not a healer, but the Spirit has manifested healing through me, I am not a prophet, but the Spirit has prophesied through me, etc. I see red flags when p...

to keep things short, the cancer has moved to Dad's lungs, and he just is not up for further treatments. They give him about 6 months. We told the kids Sunday morning at church (Mom had put in a prayer request about it, so the entire church knew, but we hadn't said anything to the kids yet, just bec...

You're math is a little off there. 2% of 1200 is 24, God said he would save the city for 10, which is less that 1%. Also if Japan's population is 124 Million like you said, than there may well be more than 1 million Christians over there (1 million is less than 1% of 124 Million)

So is it possible that Japan's woes are due to the worship of a false god and their unbelief in God at all? As a nation they are majority atheist and Buddhist, less than 1% Christian. Those type numbers got Sodom destroyed. They did? so what was the population of Sodom and Gomorrah at that time? I ...

I actually have heard of churches doing that, they ask that tithes be mailed or sent in electronically so that no one sees you give. I don't tend to "feel led" to do an extra offering, the only time I can think of where I've seen this done or done this myself was when a need arose for some...

Yes, I don't think it's a matter of the amount, although if you are giving $1000 and wanting $100 back we should probably provide you with a receipt, I think it's required for gifts of over $500 (or at least highly recommended).

Why is it that we don't mind being judged for our good but always play the "you judged me card" if our bad actions are judged? again, we are to judge actions, not people, but unfortunately if we are responsible for those actions, we tend to take it personally, good or bad, taking credit f...

I think it was a counterfeit $20 and the ushers should consider carrying around those pens. :-) You joke, but that is actually one of the reasons that was given to me at Assembly that we are not allowed to give change, in large public gatherings like that many have done that. As for judging her by ...
