Quote (mikeboll64 @ Mar. 06 2011,11:54)Hi Mark,Ye though I walk………….I will fear no evil, for my LORD is with me.  I don't compare a “black church” to the valley of death here.  I only point out that I'm sure God will be with you, as He is with the members of the church you choose to attend.But…………..could you make it a n…[Read more]

Well, anouther religious safari for Mark. It was realllly differant. I have to say, the ushers were nice. I did get some strange looks, but they were outnumbered by the happy and sincere goodwill shown to me by others. The people around me shook my hand and the lady in front of me even gave me a hug. I did enjoy the service. It was very…[Read more]

As long as she was a nice Godly beautiful woman. Otherwise you would shortly wish you were alone.

I think that people highly underestimate the power of the media.Hitler didn't. He used it to his advantage and controled the whole country into believing the natzi's were legitimate, even when his songs proclaimed him “savior” as well as “furor”. I definately believe it. Peace-MarkP.S. I also think that God wrote Revalations in a way that…[Read more]

I'd go fishin. The problem is, when I did catch “the big one” there wouldn't be anyone to show it to! Seriously I'd go crazy, and wonder why God left just me, and pray he let me know. I hadn't seen it. Would you reccomend it?

In Revalations, it says the second beast would make the whole world worship the first beast. It would have the power to give life to it and make it speak. It even had the power to bring fire down from heaven (you see all that on action movies etc. )To me that would definately fit tv and the internet and the media at large.Peace-Mark

I decided to do something differant for Sunday tomorrow. I am going to go to a black church tomorrow in Memphis, Tenn. I would like to support the message of this movie. Wish me well, a 46 year ole crazy white christian boy to go to south Memphis to support the message of racial harmony. I'll let you know tomorrow how it goes. My wife says I'm on…

Also 144,00 could be a representation of or symbolic of a perfect number, 12*12, God's people, we just don't know, but love for God and fellow man put into practice can make you jesus' brother, you just have to choose it. Love,Mark

Pierre, No, it is not.Peace-Mark

Also, since I have been blessed by his Kingship over me, I also have him as brother, God, best friend, companion and guide. Amen.

I am not King. Jesus is my King. I am his slave. Him only I call master. Through his spirit, he fortells what is to come, in the last days, such as written in Jude, which you explain away, but awaits the ungodly, and those who teach others not to keep God's commandments:11 Enoch, of the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied also about them when…[Read more]

For, behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.Isaiah 66The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of…[Read more]

Quote (karmarie @ Mar. 05 2011,05:30)Mark, good point. If we were judged based on just what was seen, there are many 'good actors' and there are people who do things for the wrong reason. So because God looks on the intentions of the heart, im glad. And im sure there are many people who WOULD do something if they could but cant. And God knows…[Read more]

Would it be safe to say, that if you could have a complete view of someones life day after day, and the sound was turned off, that you would see good people doing good things (greeting others, helping others, praying, loveing disposition etc), and bad prople doing bad things (arrogance, shortness, evil, hateful disposition, corruption). would it…[Read more]

Quote (Tim Kraft @ Mar. 04 2011,01:58)In the parable of the vine and branches lets look. The vine is Jesus, the tree of “life”. God is “life” flowing in the vine. The vine carries the “life,spirit,power” of God to the branches (us). The branches are grafted to the vine “by faith” in order to carry the “life,spirit of God,power of God” to the world…[Read more]

Also, what you do shows what is in your heart. Unless you are forced to do something, what you do personally shows where your heart is. That is Gods call because he knows everything. I cannot look at someone else and see them cheating on their wife or sinning etc. and think “that person is going to hell”, Because I do not know what made them or…[Read more]

Kerwin,I second what Ed said. Excellent post and scriptures. To my own personal view, I read in scripture that Jesus was saying that rightiousness was and is not obtained in works. Faith in Jesus does. Here is where it gets complicated for someI think the works Jesus and Paul were referring to was the old testament way of atonement. Observing all…[Read more]

Karmarie, If I could go back to when my kids were young I would spend twice the time I did with them, and homeschool them. I wish I could go back to when my kids were young. Peace-Mark
