    Israel and the present conflict

    I've not followed Chuck Missler before. I've not been all that interested in last days events until fairly recently. Chuck Missler passed away in 2018 and I don't know when he preached this message. In light of recent events, it is fascinating to hear what he had to say. It's quite long, but...

    Husbands and wives

    I married fairly late in life. I I was in my 30's. That marriage lasted 9 years. The break up was hard and I had no interest in putting myself through that again. I had some encouragement from friends to look again, but I'm by nature a solitary person and I was content to be single. Fast...

    Logic and reason, or intuition?

    I came home from an outing today. As always, I checked my computer for new emails etc. I'm also keeping tabs on the Israel/Iran war. But not today. My computer refused to start up. I checked a few things. I saw that we'd had a mains power failure sometime during the day. I turned off the power...

    Pakistan threatens Israel with a nuclear attack.

    Sounds ominous, does it not? Except it is misleading because there is not the full context. Pakistan supposedly said it will attack Israel, if Israel nukes Iran. That is not going to happen. Israel hopes to get back to a relationship with Iran like it was before the loony Muslim take over...

    Israel.

    There are some who doubt the role of Israel in God's plan and purpose. If that is so, perhaps you can explain this from the book of Revelation. Revelation 7:3-8 “Do not harm the land or sea or trees until we have placed a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God.” And I heard the...

    I know better...........

    Several years ago, my computer was trashed by a trojan. I clicked on a "free" virus checker which was the opposite. I recovered the computer but it took days. Last night, it was very late and I clicked on a link in an email supposedly from the tax office. I realised my mistake in time. I gave my...

    Not news, but...........

    This satire is too close to the truth to be dismissed. The comments are instructive too.

    Has anyone mentioned this on the forum? Or is now too normal to talk about?

    Life and Light

    John 1:4 & 5 "In Him was life, and that life was the light of men. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome* it. We should not be surprised or dismayed if unbelievers do not understand us. And no doubt and/or unbelief can overcome God's word. If we will stand on...

    Converts or disciples?

    Matthew 28:18-20 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you...

    God is not a Chemist.

    Some believers see God as like a chemist, giving out medications for a particular problem. We may think we need a dose of humility, a patience pill or a course of self control. God does not work this way. Our problem is not that we are proud or stubborn or whatever character flaw we may see. The...

    At last......

    The city where I live has been a graveyard for Christian hopes and aspirations over at least half a century. Many have come here with the intent of bringing revival. Just as many have left scratching their heads, wondering what it will take. I know because I've lived here that long. A number of...

    "Isms"

    Some Christians seem compelled to put God in a box. They do this by putting believers into a category. You are Pentecostal, Evangelical, Charismatic, Dispensational, KJV only, OSAS or some other category that people use to define you. And too often, to argue with you. I detest being pigeonholed...

    About Tithing

    Does your church insist on tithing? Are you required to make known your giving to the leadership? Are you often reminded of the needs of the ministry? How does this affect you? Are you encouraged or do you feel pressured into giving? I want to show the New Testament principle of giving that...

    Change by exchange.

    I bit into an apple this evening. It was quite hard, but much of it was rotten. I cut it in half. The rot had spread through the apple. There was some that was probably edible, but I had no way of separating good from bad. Some Christians think that they are like that apple. They set about...

    Stealthy persecution

    I was born in England. My parents emigrated in 1965. I ended up in Australia a couple of years later. I have watched with dismay as Britain turned away from its Christian heritage, abandoned Israel, embraced Islam and began persecuting Christians. It's not the "send them to concentration camps"...

    The knowledge of the Truth.

    It's rarely preached, at least in my experience. But there is another aspect of God's will that seems to be overlooked. That is that God wills that all should come to the knowledge of the truth. (1 Timothy 2:4) My understanding (and experience) is that it is possible to be saved and yet not...

    Effective Evangelism

    Apart from a click bait title, this video is encouraging. Ray Comfort of Living Waters witnesses to people on the street. Some are saved on the spot, which is wonderful. It includes some testimony from Butch Wilmore, who spent over 9 months on the ISS.
