Is drinking alcohol OK for us Christians?

 

 

 

 

”Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise”.

Proverbs 20:1

 

"Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes? 30 They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine. 31 Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright. 32 At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder. 33 Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things. 34 Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast. 35 They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again."

Proverbs 23:29-35

 

 

 

"I know, I know, you guys that drink alcohol never drink too much do you? Sure you don't. I was around people who drank this stuff a lot before I was saved and I know from experience that someone who drinks almost always does it to get a buzz from it.  Do your eyes behold strange women when you drink? Do you utter perverse things, like curse words, or dirty jokes when you drink? I am convinced that most of the fornication going on out there is at least partially attributable to alcohol consumption. Even the most worldly people consider it a sin product. Keep justifying it in your mind, but remember this verse:

Proverbs 14:12There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
See All... 'There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. ' "

"As I have demonstrated, nowhere in scripture do we find Jesus drinking alcoholic wine. Alcohol is destructive and addictive. It is a depressant drug that actually attacks the brain cells and destroys them. Twenty percent of all patients admitted into mental hospitals have a problem with alcohol. Alcohol has caused numerous health and social problems. In addition to this a majority of traffic fatalities and accidents can be directly attributive to alcohol. Drunkenness destroys lives and relationships. It is not just a disease. It is a sin."

We recently ran across this article and would encourage you to read it!

A post by our brother.....

Hello All!

Our awesome brother, Joel, wrote this awesome "post", and it was too good not to share!

 

"Well, I know this is long but, just wanted to share this stray thought.

 

 Over the last few month I have been asked many times what I believe about different spiritual issues and it has really made me start researching from the bible what I believe and why I believe it. It has been really good for me and has drawn me closer to the Lord. One of the issues that I have heard is something called total depravity which is a belief that says total depravity is a state of corruption do to original sin that infects every part of man's nature and to make the natural man unable to know or obey God. I had always thought I knew what total depravity was, but as I studied it more I found I hadn't really understood it as well as I thought. As I studied it more I found out just how much God is in control of are lives and it really comforted me! Here are some of the bible verses I looked at as I studied this issue.

 

 Genesis 6:5 KJV

And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 1 Corinthians 2:14 KJV

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. Ephesians 4:18 KJV

Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart Romans 7:18 KJV

For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. John 6:65 KJV

And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. Romans 3:12 KJV

They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Jeremiah 13:23 KJV

Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.
As I read these and many other verse I came to the conclusion that man is sinful and that this sin hinders him from doing anything good, and man would sooner be able to change the color of his skin than do good and chose God and the things that please God. And I thought if we are sinful and can't will or do the things that are good how can we get saved? Then it hit me the only logical conclusion is that we don't chose God, God chooses us! So at this point I started looking through the Bible to see if this was the case and From what I found it is the case. Here are some more verses I looked at when I was coming to that conclusion. John 6:44 KJV

No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. John 6:65 KJV

And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. John 15:16 KJV

Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. John 14:6 KJV

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
My whole life I have been told by preachers and other people that we chose God when we get saved but from what these verses seem to indicate God chooses us and once he chooses us the conviction of the Holy Spirit comes upon us and there is no man that i know that can resist that conviction. It really gave me peace to know that the Lord is in control of everything and that he didn't leave such an important decision in my falable hands! A sovereign God is so much better than falable man. Sorry, this post is so long but I just wanted to share something the Lord was doing in my life! God is so good to me and I just want to give him all the glory and praise for what he does!" ~ Joel Keller

What we believe on head covering in church.

Hello followers.

 

 

 

We recently came across this great movie.

 

Please watch this, and let us know what you think.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Read this amazing description on head covering in church.

 

 

http://www.readbag.com/monergism-spinney-robert-should-christian-women-wear-head-coverings-today

 

 

"The wearing of fabric head coverings in worship was universally the practice of Christian women until the twentieth century. What happened? Did we suddenly find some biblical truth to which the saints for thousands of years were blind? Or were our biblical views of women gradually eroded by the modern feminist movement that has infiltrated the Church?” ~ R.C. Sproul

"But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.

 For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.
For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man."

I Corinthians 11:5-7 KJV



 

 

 

We are not saying that if you don't wear head covering in church you aren't a Christian, but that this is a sign of submission to your father and eventually your husband, and through them, God.

God bless!

Why do you only use the KJV translation of the Bible?

Hello Followers!!

Why do you only use the KJV translation? This has been asked a-lot on our blog, so we thought we would share our point about it.

Here is an article that matches our stand. It is very short and easy to understand.

Roe v. Wade.

 

 

 

This is so terrible!

Children are Innocent they are not at fault for your mistake.

Do not punish them because you fooled around.

 

"I wonder if you are pronounced dead when your heart stops beating, then why aren't you considered alive when your heart starts beating? The fetal heartbeats after just 18 days of conception."

 

^" It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones."

Luke 17:2 KJV

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Abortion is barbaric!

 

Children are a blessing.

 

Sorry for the rant!

 

God Bless!

Can you lose your salvation?

 

 

Hello! This is Hannah!

I wrote this mini article on "Can you lose your salvation?"

 

 

No, you can not lose your salvation. Here are some verses to prove this:

 

And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. John 10:28-29 KJV

 

 

After you are saved you can NOT lose your salvation. You may falter or go off the road, but after you are saved you can not lose your salvation.

 

Some people can have false testimonies and SAY they got saved, but are not. You can not lose what you don't have.

 

 

"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:35-39

 

Nothing can separate you from salvation.

 

 

And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

I John 5:13

 

In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

Ephesians 1:13

 

But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

John 4:14

This does not give us liberty to do anything we want, it tells us we are saved for eternity and we must follow God and be a testimony for HIM! 

Thank you for reading!

God Bless!

Should Women be pastors? By: Ruth

 

Hello Followers!



This is a mini article Ruth wrote about women pastors.

Should women be pastors: No.

"Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection."
"But I suffer not a woman to teach, not to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence."
I Timothy 2:11-12

Women should not be pastors. It is as simple as that.
--------------------------------------------------------------

Quote from http://carm.org/should-women-be-pastors-and-elders:

What About Women Who Say They are Called By God to Be Pastors?

"There are women pastors in the world who love their congregations and have stated that they are called by God to be pastors. Of course, I cannot agree with this considering the previous analysis of the biblical position. Instead, I believe they have usurped the position of men and gone against the norm of scriptural revelation. Additionally, those who state that they are called by God because of the great job they are doing and the gifting they have received are basing their theology upon experience and not scripture."

"The issue is simple: are they submitting to the word of God or are they making the word of God submit to their desires?"
-------------------------------------------------------------

"Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law."
"And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church."
I Corinthians 14:34-35

They are Commanded to keep silence in the church. Lots of times we will learn something at church/ Sunday School that we don't understand and on the way home from church or around the dinner table we will ask Dad and Mom what did the Pastor mean when he said this or what did he mean when he said that?

The women are commanded to keep silence in the church if you have a question ask your dad or your husband.

"And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church."

I have heard women say; "But my father is dead and I am not married yet" Well, then go ask your pastor or another man in the church.
 I Corinthians 14:35

I am not saying that women should abstain from helping out in the church! No, that is not at all what I am saying!

Women should teach the younger women. A pastor needs a wife. The Pastor's wife helps out in more than anyone could imagine. Women can still pray in church, women can still have a ladies meeting at the church,  they can still prepare potlucks, they can still decorate, and they can still play the piano (Or violin or guitar or....). 

God calls us women to help out in the church in different ways, but I believe he does not call women to be pastors.
