Oh, I checked Amazon and I can get it for $343.99 and download it via Whispernet. Need a Kindle device to work though.

My fiance already have a Kindle device so I can use it.

Thank you for writing up this deep contemplation, Pehkay.

Lots of insight.

??? This board seems quiet lately.

compare preaching

1) biblical doctrine in biblical context
2) biblical doctrine in today's context
3) today's doctrine in today's context, with some verses coated around them to sound that it's from the Bible.

Discuss =D

ya...a luxury to have it in hardcopy. and the result is......*drum*.....


Attached thumbnail(s)

come sing a song

It maybe a luxury to you but I'm saving mother nature.

u made me guilty =(

Different denomination different reply and each claim to be the correct one.

btw: what denomination are you coming from ?

go back to scripture ? or go back to denomination thinking ?

It saddened me that humans have almost ruined God's beautiful creations by our pursuit of greed, happiness, wealth, etc

To the destructions of mother nature, weird weather phenomenon, etc...

But what did the Bible says about new heaven and earth in Revelations? God will restore back everything right?

Well I worked around 10++ hours. The pay is good. No complaints.

Oh yeah Poltergeist...

A good testimony from Taya Smith, one of Hillsong lead worship leaders and the voice for Broken Vessels(Amazing Grace)

Yeah. So, those who bring the Lord back is the true ecologist

CHRIST AS THE ALL-INCLUSIVE SPIRIT BEING THE SPIRIT THAT WAS FROM THE BEGINNING WITH FURTHER ELEMENTS ADDED TO HIM


From the beginning, Christ was God, and God is Spirit. Then God as Spirit became a man to die on the cross to bear our sins and accomplish redemption. After this, He was resurrected, and in and by resurrection He became the life-giving Spirit.



We may illustrate the answer in the following way. Originally, I may have a cup of plain water, but if I gradually pour some juice into it, followed by some milk, tea, honey, and a little salt, eventually I will have a wonderful drink. It is still the water I had originally, but now there is a difference. At first it was purely, plainly, and uniquely water. Now it is still water but with certain elements added to it. Christ as Spirit in eternity was the “plain water,” but the life-giving Spirit has further elements added to Him, including incarnation, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension.

The life-giving Spirit is still the original Spirit, but many wonderful elements have been added to Him (c.f. John 7:39). Without crucifixion, redemption, resurrection, and ascension the original Spirit could not come into man. It was not until Christ accomplished redemption, passing through incarnation, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension that He came into man. How wonderful this is! Now Christ as God is the all-inclusive Spirit with redemption, incarnation, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension.

Christ as the last Adam became a life-giving Spirit with many wonderful elements added to Him. This is the Spirit in the book of Acts who was spreading to produce the Body of Christ. In the Acts this wonderful Spirit is no longer only the Spirit of God. Acts 16:6-7 says, “And they passed through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia. And when they had come to Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, yet the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them.” In the Acts the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit, has become the Spirit of Jesus, who is Christ Himself. It is through the spreading of this wonderful all-inclusive Spirit that the church, the Body of Christ, came into existence.

We need a new understanding, comprehension, and view of all the matters in the book of Acts. What is taking place in this book is the spreading of Jesus as the wonderful Spirit to produce the Body of Christ, which is the church. If we consider this book and the churches in the early days with this point of view, we will have a new understanding. This wonderful Christ mingled Himself with many human beings, including Peter, John, James, Paul, Timothy, and thousands of believers in the early days. All the believers in the Acts were joined to Christ and made one with Christ as the Spirit (1 Cor. 6:17)

Go Green dude!

Why do people desire worldly pleasures more compared to Christian pleasures?

Isn't seeking God give more pleasures?

What is your desire(s) in your own life?

I know I seek pleasures in certain materialistic things.

Aren't we all like that? We have our own sinful pleasures.

So how do we overcome those "sinful and worldly pleasures?"

Psalm 16:11

11 You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

Christian pleasure or GOD's pleasure ?

for Mr A. It's GOD's pleasure if he drinks and hangout in bar so he can know about his future ministry. reaching out people in bar.
for Mr B. It's GOD's pleasure to abstain from drinking bir ?

GOD's pleasure ? Mr A or Mr B ?

I will respond in this way:



Excellency here means transcendence or super-eminence.

Here is one testimony which fits your question



Christ is truly far superior to all other things and matters.

The issue is not that we tried very hard not to love the world .... that is being religious ... also hypocritical and will not last.

Rather, have you seen or experience THE transcending, super-eminence, ultimate, CHOCOLATE!! Then, spontaneously, you will drop the lesser things.

The Christian life is not a matter of cultivating character. The Christian life is a matter of transformation. To be transformed we need a new element. This element is the real and living Lord. In Him God's attributes and the riches of all that God is become the fullness. Furthermore, as the Spirit, the Lord has become our bountiful supply. We need to love Him, fellowship with Him, read His word, pray to Him, and always call on His name, which is to breathe Him in. In this way we receive His element into us. This element will have a metabolic effect within us to transform us.

Bible Devotion with UW

Though I walk



I asked God what if I was downtrodden, not walking right before God. Am I vulnerable before my enemies? What if there are wrong type of "psychic" prayers prayed against my life by disgruntled Christians (I bind UW Ministry, I bind this, I bind that nonsense) that may cause complications in one's life?

This verse jumped at me. Then I'm reminded, Jesus came for the sinners. He came to lift them up, not push them away. Why? I'm reminded how some Churches today teaches that when a Christian so called "Sin" God the Father does not see Him and is separated. Then I remember the story of the prodigal Son and all the matter of God's Grace. The Father Ran to his Son. He never waited for the son to come to fall prostrated before Him with the disdain look of contempt. And neither did the father pushed Him away despite that the prodigal son has sin against his own father. God ran to Him.

Then I'm also reminded of Romans 5:20 (NIV) - The law was brought in so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more,

Where there is Sin even among Christians, God's Grace super abounds in greater measure over his sin.

So to cut the story short and bring this home. God will never leave his children even when they has fallen.

A Christian life is one that is lead by the Holy Spirit. One who depends on the shoulders of Jesus, who carries Him. What if he is no longer led?

Psalm 23:4 is an indication that he is no longer led, because he walks (on his own). And He walks through the darkest valley, meaning in times when he is downtrodden and in trouble.

King David had this revelation, He knew that even if He walks rather than being lead, He can fear no evil because "For you art with me"
If God is for you, who can be against you?

Take heart and don't lose hope, God will never let you go because you are his Son and Daughters.


God Bless guys. Blessed ver 10.

been skipping church services alot since this year and last year, mainly because of foot arch pain which make me very uncomfortable when i walk or sitting down also my nephew sometimes nobody available to take care of him when he decided not to go sunday school (lazy to wake up)........so i have to either wake him up and attend CHC which would be late already when i got there only can send him to sunday school then myself and another friend sit down in the cafeteria for another 30 mins or longer waiting for the sunday school to end

Make sure you practise the soft method even after marriage.

Have you tried, there's a special sandal called birkenstock sandals designed especially for foot arch pain. May want to invest for better comfort.

And also don't neglect the reading the Bible in this trying time.
