As the end of my B-Day approaches I want to thank each of you who have taken the time to wish me well. Celebrated with family tonight and tomorrow with some friends. GN -FB!
I thank God that He has allowed me to see another year. My God has NEVER failed to show His love for me and I am grateful for Him!!
Questions:
1.) Who is the Holy Ghost?
2.) What was His “work” in the NT? How is it similar or different that in the OT?
3.) What is role in the life of the believer today?
4.) What was/is the purpose of the glossolalia? Is it an example that we should be following in the 21st century church? Is it a universal gift?
5.) Is there a difference between indwelling and infilling?...

I was having a discussion with another someone and this question arose: Does “Spiritual Leadership” trump “Marital Relationship”? Should your pastor’s voice over-ride a wife’s husband’s voice? Essentially, should a wife obey her pastor at the disagreement of her husband?
My little princess turns 10 today!! How time flies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He decides that California’s medical marijuana business would create great income for his family. He gets permission to open a legal medical marijuana shop. Is he wrong to operate this business?

Sex - Sex - Sex - Reality
As a Christian parent, you teach your children the Godly value of abstinence until marriage. Once they leave your immediate covering, is it UNgodly to buy them condoms?
Challenges to Faith
Time has no influence on the Kingdom of God. In other words, the Kingdom of God operates without the constraint of time. What challenges most Christians is not their initial belief that God can or will do something, but it is the fact that the longer the time passes between what you heard God say and it’s physical manifestation, the surety of that word will be both questioned and tested.

Question
Would God ever answer you prayer by giving you what you ask for (the desires of your heart) even when He knows it is not going to be beneficial to you?
Money
With all the talk these days about money, I want to know your thoughts about a few things:
1.) If a member of a church wins BIG from gambling in Las Vegas and wants to donate money to the church, would the church be wrong for accepting it?
2.) Is it wrong to play the lottery?
3.) Would you attend a church that ran community bingo 3 days a week?
4.) Would you have a problem with a pastor...

Kingdom Business
A friend posted something that I thought was interesting:
I said to someone a couple days ago… “What do YOU like to sin? What is YOUR sin of preference”? They said “Sex”. I said “Cool… You wanna know what it feels like to be a pastor? If YOU get caught with a woman… you’re human. If I get caught… I’m a hypocrite”. ...

I need some people to talk back to me on this one: How do you feel about yourself?
What do you think of this statement: “I believe preachers ought have a job.”
RePost: I was RAISED, I didn’t just grow up….. I was taught to speak when I enter a room, say “Please & Thank you,” to have respect for my elders, lend a helping hand to those in need, hold the door for the person behind me, say “Excuse me,” when it’s needed, & to love people for who they are, not for what I can get from them! I was also taught to...

Our prayers go out to the family and church of Pastor Zachery Tims.
Re-post from another page: You are so much more than a bad decision. Far more valuable than the judgment of a hater. Don’t label yourself or allow anyone else to place a label of defeat on your future. There are people out there waiting on you to move on into your next assignment! (Mk.6:10,11)
If you are marriage, these questions are specifically for you but all are welcomed to respond………. (1.) Is there any bank account, e-mail, website, or cell phone that you spouse does not have the password (access) to? (2.) Is there anything wrong with having your own “private” access to any of those things?

I am concerned about what is happening in this day and time with everyone being something! I mean, I have been in ministry for over 20 years and it wasn’t until the last 5-6 years that there has been an explosion of Bishops, ArchBishops, Apostles, etc. As I have had the opportunity to speak to some of them, what really surprises me is that most of them are a product of rebellion. Most say...

What is the funniest thing you ever saw in church?
Bishop T.D. Jakes- I believe God has given me the gift of goodbye.” over time, you must learn to let people walk away, without allowing their departure to destroy you. “If they choose to cut me off, then I’ll let them go. I won’t lose sleep. I wont try to make excuses for them, nor will I attempt to uncover the reasons why. I’ll merely accept the fact that, their...

What is each person’s role in family?
What about non-traditional families?
What about 2 mothers or 2 fathers raising kids?

Every word of God is pure:he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
Genesis 3:1
The Tempter in the Garden of Eden was a serpent. From the first pages of the Bible we are introduced to the way sin comes into our lives. It slips in and grabs a quiet foothold before we are aware of it. Temptation slips up on us before we recognize the seriousness of what’s...
