If you’ve never to the Ark Encounter it’s well worth it.
@Justinmartyr I’ve been reading through Acts. It’s telling how many times it says “the word of God spread or increased”. That’s what we should be promoting.
@sinbach hi Eugene, I see that you’re traveling between Indiana and Louisiana this week. We have a nice Cabin in the Ozarks for traveling missionaries if you need a place to stay. I can shoot you an address if you’re interested.
Has anyone considered the dangers of groupthink outside the Bible??

Listen to Building up Your Personal Bible Reading. Scripture is our only source wisdom in these days.
@tymektt @sinbach I’m with you on that! I’ve been doing my podcast for about six months.

God is building us for something.

Let’s keep our focus clearly on the One True God.

They Bibles us good things, but also bad things about ourselves.

@raymondthebrave I’m writing an essay for my Masters on the challenges Evangelicalism faces today. One big challenge being explored is summed up in these Rules of Harvard - Jesus has been removed from academics today and therefore the foundation and unifying element of all educational pursuits is nonexistent. Man becomes the measure of All things. The split can be dated at Oxford to 1860.
We would all do better looking up, not down!
@Lindseyay It’s Sunday morning. The Lord is good.
God is called Most High in the Psalms and by Melchizedek. The Devil tempted Jesus by taking Him to two high places and having Him look down instead of up towards God.
Answers in Genesis had recently released Answers.tv. Would highly recommend it just for the conferences. I watched a very helpful session on “the Bankruptcy of atheism”.
Here’s some thoughts I had on Evil from the Wheat and the Tares parable.

@raymondthebrave Our model to follow is the one giving in the New Testament, and that model does not show the church of that time constructing buildings or operating expensive programs. What we see is simplicity, fellowship and a desire to spread the gospel and strengthen the disciples. This, in my mind, is step one to going “underground”. Scrap the buildings, focus on making disciples.
@raymondthebrave ultimately there is no example in the New Testament of churches conceding to any official dictates of the Roman government. We obey laws that are reasonable and beneficial to society, but we disobey laws that are in conflict with our conscience and the place of Jesus as ultimate king in our life. (This is a delicate and contentious topic, I know).
@raymondthebrave for years we have slowly watched society become less friendly to our faith and more accepting of everything morally and philosophically against it. In America we have the government approved nonprofit status most churches and ministries sign up for. In England it is a charitable status. This status allows us privileges of tax exemption. I recently dissolved the nonprofit status of my ministry because I did not want to have the government able to dictate anything we taught.
Could now be a good time for the faithful believers in America to go underground?
@sinbach In my opinion if someone living in America wants to be a Marxist they should move to China and be happy and content with their comrades there. Communism has dominion over China already. What they don’t grasp is that they are living on a planet that the Lord Jesus has dominion over. He will bring his revolution to all communists soon.
