Jesus also said "let the dead bury the dead, you follow me." We can mourn; there is a place for that; but we need to move on. We can't dwell and stay there. There's too much work to still do. I totally disagreed with what I was seeing in many of the churches this past Sunday. Many were dedicating their services to 9/11 victims. They turned their services into Patriotic services somewhat similar to July 4th services where the flag is display

oh my gosh! I think I only understood about one quarter of all this. [e digicons]8C[/e]

WOW! Nice boat. I could take that kind of living myself. Very nice.
Thanks Doc....been a while since I've been around. Lula..this is one subject that I think you and I not only agree on but if I remember correctly brought us together, (years ago) in the first place.
[quote who="lulapilgrim" reply="12" id="2994060"]You know, when 2 or 3 are gathered in My name.. [/quote] Just so you know... LOL... that's about church discipline. You'll find it in Matthew 18 and the context is about church discipline which is not easy to do. It has nothing to do with Christ showing up when 2-3 gathered in His name (generally) because He shows up when only one gathers in His name.
awwwww been wondering how you've been. We've got to catch up soon.
me too T. I haven't been here since April and since I saw your link on FB I checked it out. So in effect, you dragged me back, so to speak. Glad I got to see you a bit this summer. Hopefully, maybe, later this fall or so I'll go back for another visit. Maybe now, that Amanda is a two car family, we can come and visit you and let Brian babysit..although I'm sure the babies would love to see you again. LOL. and...all you hard work
homosexuality will be the last straw that breaks the camel's back in more than one way. According to scripture it's the last abomination that brings down a society and according to the Muslims it will only give them more ammo to come after us; wipe us off the face of the earth. On one hand we are bending over backwards to placate the Muslims but on the other it doesn't matter what we do because at least they have the sense to know that homosexuality is no
oh my. Been gone a long time and can see you have been busy Lula. :)
Michael Yousseff makes the most sense out of all of this. This has turned into one big political play and it's best if the Christians meet together on their own (which they can do quite well) and let the media and politians duke it out at ground zero. What would Jesus do?
you've got to be kidding me! Even Peter, in his letter, referred to Rome as Babylon. Nowhere in scripture is Israel ever referred to as Babylon. Zion. Yes. Babylon. Never. Peter was writing from Rome not Jerusalem as this article asserts. Peter was in Rome during the last decade of his life. His letter was written in 63 AD and he died in about 67 AD (under Nero).

You've been on our prayer chain since the beginning and my Pastor was just asking for an update from you and my other friend who is also going thru this. Her chemo isn't working well and she's on a new chemo this week to see if that will do it. She's also on alot of pain meds because one of her tumors is pressing on her spine. You sound so much better than she does. I'll just keep praying for the best outcome for the two of you and leave you both in t
I remember hearing him on the radio along with those others you mentioned when I was a kid. Around that time also hanging around were Loretta Lynn, Jim Reeves and Barbara Mandrell. All very popular when I was growing up. I remember that song "On the Wings of a Dove" but don't remember "Gone" May have to see if it rings a bell if I can find it to listen to.

I called World Vision today and they said they are asking everyone they speak to if they would like to make a one-time donation for the Japan Earthqake aftermath. If people wish to give like that (and they will) that's fine. But to take my money via the government, and put it towards building religious institutions that I veheme
I saw him on TV this morning and he looked terrible. Obviously he's fighting some pretty nasty demons and it looks like they're winning at the moment..not Charlie.
there's a saying that says pride goes before the fall, and what we're witnessing is one mighty Sheen crash going on. He keeps calling himself a rock star and on and on.... I think it's sad really because what we're seeing is some sort of public breakdown that he doesn't even realize he's going thru. Yet.
"The state has no business running the church as the church has no business running the state." Piers: I actually agree with you but who said anything about running the church or running the state? All I'm saying is the whole "separation of church and state" today is not how it started out in the beginning in our country. Let's just say it evolved over time shall we? I am one of those you speak of who give to foreign charitable donations wh
The separation of church and state usually makes for a heated and and sometimes fun discussion. Most of us certainly have strong opinions about this topic one way or the other. In some areas I'm ok with the separation of church and state especially in lieu of our modern culture although I'm quite positive the way we define that today is not how it was intended by our forefathers. <span style="fo

[quote]and stop pressing theology[/quote] see that's where you don't get it BT being an atheist and all. That's EXACTLY what we do need. Theology is nothing but (Theos means God/ology means study of) the study of God. Maybe if we did it HIS way, we'd see how well it would work. We've been doing it OUR way for so long. No wonder we're all messed up. So like Dr. Phil asks... "how's it working for ya?" [quote]STOP trying to make C
hmmmm sounds like you just described my mother T. :(
today my bible study teacher said "if a lie gets a head start, it's hard for the truth to catch up." to which I said in a written note I passed him later... "BUT the truth always rises to the top because the best friend of truth is time." Eventually this will all get sorted out. The truth always prevails.
