General Discussion / Idolatry

« on: December 04, 2018, 08:32:11 PM »

Church, 

I went back and re-listened to the first audio teaching on "Idolatry". I definitely have some things I need to clean up in my life.  I totally get it when you were referencing scriptures that deal with idolatry in the heart.  The verse that immediately came to mind for me was Matthew 5:18 These people draw near unto me with their mouth, and honor me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.. How many verses do we see where Jesus goes right after mans heart when it comes to sin. 

Adultery - Matthew 5:28 8But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.


The Lord sees what we try to hide from men

Jeremiah 17:10 - I the LORD search the heart, try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, [and] according to the fruit of his doings.

1 Samuel 16:7 But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.

General Discussion / What's your favorite Hymn?

« on: September 18, 2018, 11:03:35 PM »

I wanted to start a post here just to see what people's favorite hymn was.  With all the ungodly music out there i.e CCM, it's nice to know that there are people who lived that actually studied their bible and wrote very scriptural songs.  My personal favorite is "How Great Thou Art" Every time I hear this song, it actually stirs my soul and am reminded just how awesome, great, and wonderful God really is!  I just love this song. I can remember when I was a child my grandfather (who lived across the street) would sing this song to the top of his lungs. You could hear him in the neighborhood. This is a very special childhood memory of mine that I love think about.

Verse #1
O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made;
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder
Thy power throughout the universe displayed

Chorus:
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee
How great Thou art, How great Thou art
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

Verse #2
When through the woods, and forest glades I wander
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees
When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur
And see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze

Chorus:
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee
How great Thou art, How great Thou art
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

Verse #3
And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing;
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in;
That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing
He bled and died to take away my sin
 

Chorus:
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee
How great Thou art, How great Thou art
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

Verse #4
When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration
And then proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!"

Chorus:
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee
How great Thou art, How great Thou art
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

General Discussion / What religion claims God is a woman?

« on: February 20, 2018, 09:27:58 PM »

This past Sunday as I was getting ready to go into my apartment; I was approached by lady who claimed that God was a woman an that she could prove it  I was so taken back and offended by what she said, I responded with I didn't want to hear that garbage and went inside my apartment.   The whole setting and the feeling that I got was very unnerving.  I wish I would have responded differently, but at the time I was just caught off guard and rather than debate with her, I said what I said and went inside.  I have no idea what religion teaches that.
