    The Day Of The Lord

    Contributed by Amar Chandnani on Apr 28, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 664 views

Teenagers are so much fun! I recently watched a funny compilation by Chip Leighton, a father of two who has ...read more

    2 of 2. Paul encouraged Timothy as a 'good soldier' of Christ Jesus. The level of commitment needed, for a believer to fulfill their calling in Christ, is comparable to that of a good soldier. BUT...What rules does a ‘good soldier’ live by?

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 10, 2025
     | 237 views

    This passage has two troubling phrases: "make every effort" and "try . . . and not be able." What are we to do with those? And do they mean that God is setting up difficult barriers to get into the Kingdom?

It doesn’t mean that it’s nearly impossible but that you should focus your attention. - Luke 13:22-24a. - Jesus is asked an important question: “[A]re only a few people going to be saved?” (v. 23). - That's a great question. What is the nature of ...read more
