| 51: | How one wife finally put her husbands in his place!!!
How one wife finally put her husbands in his place!!! Click to View Click to View A Sunday school teacher went over to visit one of her new pupils named Katrine, one summer's afternoon. The family had immigrated only five years earlier from the "home country". The mother was warm and friendly, even her house exuded hospitality. What was most impressive though was the woman's constant references to her husband. Whenever there was a lull in the conversation a little 4 year old boy would ask, "Is it almost time for papa to come home?" Later, the other children came in from school, greeted me politely and went to their chores. The oldest daughter said, "I'm going to start some of Papa's favorite muffins for supper," as she headed for the kitchen. As the teacher got up to leave, Katrine asked, "Can't you wait a small moment and meet papa?" By this time the teacher was very curious about this remarkable man who commanded such love and respect from all his family. The shock of meeting Papa ... ... https://www.bible.ca/f-Katrina.htm | Size: 2K Depth: 2 Find Similar Match Info Show Parents |

| 53: | Cigarette Smoking and the Bible Soul winning is more difficult for smokers. In Philippians 2:3-4, we read ". . - Let each esteem other better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others". In other words, be considerate. Be thoughtful. Smokers cannot be thoughtful when smoking in a non-smokers car, it will be weeks before he will be able to get all the odor from the upholstery. In a house-, cigarette odor will linger for 2 or 3 days. To non-smokers this is intolerable, to a few individuals smoke from other's cigarettes can produce dangerous toxic reactions. Smoking is against the principles of being careful not to offend and of being considerate. Smoking is wasteful of time and of money. Christians are to be faithful stewards (Read Matthew 25:14-30), for, like our bodies, our money and our time, are not ours, but Christ's. Christians also need to come face to face with the shocking realities that while more than 90% of all lung cancer victims are smokers, ... ... https://www.bible.ca/s-cigarettes.htm | Size: 4K Depth: 2 Find Similar Match Info Show Parents |
| 54: | What will happen at the End Of The World? What will happen at the End Of The World? The specific date as to when the world will come to an end is not known by man. The Apostle Peter says in II Peter 3:10, "But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise and the elements shall melt with fervent heat. The earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up". This event could not come unexpectedly as a thief in the night if the date were known. God will not reveal the date to man. Two big events will take place at the end of the world, according to Peter. First the heavens shall pass away with a great noise. This means the atmosphere will pass away with one big explosion. And second, the elements shall melt with fervent heat. Man knows approximately 105 elements in science. The great majority of these are called natural elements. For example, hydrogen and oxygen are well known elements.

| 55: | The Sinner's Prayer: Modern apostasy and false teaching that ... ...Modern apostasy and false teaching that prevents men from being saved." The earliest notion of sinners prayer is less than 500 years old. It wasn't formalized as a theology until around the time of Billy Graham. No one in the Bible ever prayed for their initial salvation. They did however believe, repent, confess Jesus and be immersed in water for the forgiveness of their sins. The sinners prayer is a an innovation that thwarts God's plan of salvation. 1. First they replaced believers baptism by immersion with infant baptism by sprinkling. 2. Second they later replaced baptism altogether with the "sinners prayer" so that baptism is no longer even part of the plan of salvation. If you prayed the "sinners prayer" for your salvation, you are still lost in your sins, because it is not what God said to do. The Sinner's Prayer Click to View C.S. Lewis used the term "a great cataract of nonsense" to describe how people use a modern idea to construe Bible theology.

Notice this is illustrative of what Gal 5:20 condemns. These men, called sorcerers, magicians, witchcraft. b. Harper's bible dictionary says: "On the lowest level were the 'imposters' (2 Tim. 3:13) who played their tricks as do circus magicians today. Between these were the sorcerers, enchanters, and charmers who could cast spells and knew how to use herbs, potions, and drugs." c. W. E. Vine says, "In sorcery, the use of drugs, whether simple or potent, was generally accompanied by incantations and appeals to occult powers, with the provision of various charms, amulets, etc., professedly designed to keep the applicant or patient from the attention and power of demons, but actually to impress the applicant with the mysterious resources and powers of the sorcerer." d.

| 59: | Gambling and the Bible The argument that the end justifies the means is not new. It has been the rallying cry of every tyrant throughout history. It is a double tragedy, however, when it it used as a means of justifying the sin of gambling by those who claim to represent God's work. Gambling is defined by Webster's Collegiate Dictionary as "to play or game for money or other stake; to hazard; wager." Connected with gambling is the strong element of uncertainty, the large chance of losing. It has been popularly defined as "getting something for nothing without rendering service or exchange of goods, and is essentially stealing and a form of robbery". It involves taking a risk in order to obtain something for nothing and often means losing what one has and obtaining nothing. Why do people gamble? Some people gamble because of the thrill they receive from the uncertainty connected with it. The more that this attitude pervades them, the more gambling becomes a kind of incurable disease with them. Others gamble ... ... https://www.bible.ca/s-gambling.htm | Size: 4K Depth: 2 Find Similar Match Info Show Parents |

| 61: | Taking Revenge Is Not So Sweet! Taking your own Revenge Is NOT So Sweet! In his popular book, None of These Diseases, Dr. S.I. McMillan, entitles one of his chapters, "The High Cost of Getting Even". According to Dr. McMillan, the failure to possess a spirit of forgiveness makes us susceptible to many diseases of body and mind. Because we cannot resist the temptation to get even, we pay the high price of a pound of our own flesh. Toxic goiter, strokes of apoplexy, heart attacks, high blood pressure, ulcers and many other serious ailments afflict millions of people, and often it's a direct result of the inability to forgive. Dr. McMillan states it might truthfully be written on many thousands of death certificates that the victims died of "grudgitis". We have heard people say from between clenched teeth, "I'll get even with that skunk if it's the last thing I ever do". Too often, it is exactly that.

The following suggestions may be helpful: Follow as exactly as you can the doctor's orders.

Read the message entitled "What Must I Do to Be Saved?" under the topic Salvation Pray for God's power and strength to help you bear the burden you feel. Live one day at a time. Don't let yourself be ungrateful and grieve over the past, or impatient and fret about the future. Fill every hour with gratitude to God for whatever degree of health you or your loved one has. Thank God for every improvement you may see.

| 63: | 12 Principles of wholesome Recreation for a Christian Recreation is necessary for a well-balanced life. Mental health authorities say that balanced living includes work, recreation, companionship, and religion. Time and energy should be apportioned to each of these. Many things present themselves invitingly. You must make a decision about them according to your convictions, and Christians should base their convictions upon biblical teaching or principle. The following twelve principles can guide you in everyday living as a Christian: Will this activity violate my conscience? Refer-to the book of Romans 14:22,23. If you offend your conscience because you do something without faith, to you it is sin. Study your Bible to assure yourself that what you do is in accord with God's will. Will my doing it cause others to fail, or stumble, in their faith? See I Corinthians 10:23-33.

| 64: | Material Possessions and the Family God and of obedience to His will? Do we trade our eternal salvation for material things in this age when nearly everyone has much and when most strive for even more? The answer to these questions is yes; it is possible, indeed, probable, for we know that our God is a jealous God and wants no other God placed before Him. If we prefer the enjoyment of things ahead of duty to God, we are placing our desires ahead of God. In a sense, then, our goods become our God and receive our time, effort, and worship. We know that this is wrong for we are certain that God is displeased. This is idol worship, a sin about which the Bible speaks often. Also denounced frequently in the Bible is the sin of covetousness, which is the overwhelming desire for material gain. Jesus said in Luke 12:15-31: "take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: And he thought to himself ... ... https://www.bible.ca/f-possessions.htm | Size: 7K Depth: 2 Find Similar Match Info Show Parents |

Some of the greatest tragedies we face in our world are the prejudice, suspicion, hatred, and strife arising from the differences between races. Still vivid in the memory of many is Hitler's liquidation of more than six million Jews, and those familiar with the Bible remember the plot to exterminate the whole race of the Jews under Ahasurus of Persia. But these extremes of prejudice are only the outgrowth of the self-interest which is in each one of us. Each one, until he learns better, by some instinct of nature tends to draw a circle around himself. Within the circle he encloses all the rights and privileges he wants for himself, and others are not to encroach on them. With more maturity, however, he enlarges the circle to include his immediate family, then by successive stages his relatives near and far, his tribe or clan, his nation, and finally his race.

The change in a person's life resulting in his becoming a Christian is called in the Bible, conversion, and the Bible teaches that conversion is necessary for a person to be saved. Christ likened this change to a birth and taught Nicodemus, "Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God" (John 3:5). Of the 27 books comprising the New Testament, there is one book which is particularly helpful in understanding the nature of conversion.

| 89: | Can Ordinary People Understand The Bible? Can Ordinary People Understand The Bible? Because of the long-standing and widespread teaching that the Bible can be interpreted only by priests or by other learned men, ordinary people question if the Bible is for their study and interpretation or if they must rely on others to tell them the will and the directions of God. Making this question real and deep are the many and varied interpretations given the scriptures by the teachers and learned scholars of the denominations. Each denomination feels its interpretation to be correct and many of them feel the interpretations of the others are wrong. To resolve this question, we must appeal to the word of God, the Bible, to find if clear directions can be obtained from this source.

This message, like all other true Bible messages, is designed both for believers and disbelievers. "Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God" Romans 10:17, so the purpose of the Bible revelation is to create believers of those who would learn. The fact that premarital sex, fornication, deviant sex, are laughed at by the world should be of little consequence to one who seeks for truth, or to one who believes the truth. It is the truth that shall make you free (John 8:32). Now let's consider briefly the question of fornication, or pre-marital sex. Fornication is a sin against God. Sin is transgression of the law of God (I John 3:4). It is to go against, or across, what God has revealed. So if one believes God and would follow His word, he must stand on the simple conviction that fornication is wrong. Consider what the word says.

Listen to the Apostle Paul's vivid description of baptism in Romans 6, verses 3 through 5. "Know you not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

| 100: | Evangelistic, Small-group Home Bible Studies Bible and accomplish two things. If we invited non-Christians to attend a small-group home study versus church services, a much higher ratio of people would attend a home study. People feel much more at ease, so they are more likely to return. One of the advantages of these home studies is that every member, regardless of Bible knowledge, can be evangelistic. In John 1:40-42, Andrew, a new disciple, brought Peter to Jesus. New Christians can immediately bring their family and friends to the weekly home studies. This is very important because statistics prove that new Christians have a great potential for influencing others to come to Christ even though they are the least equipped to actually teach. Another plus: If a non-Christian has attended a group study and is eventually baptized, he has already developed those important personal relationships with at least four other Christians.
