A Word of Prayer (Christian Bloggers)

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Our friend SlimJim’s blog, The Domain for Truth, exhorts us today, “This Sunday at church, pray for those who lost someone in their family this year.”

This Sunday at Church: Pray for those who lost someone in their family this year

I thank God no one in my family has been taken away this year so far… maybe because there are so few of us left. But 2018 was a bad year: Aunt Joan, Patty’s brother Ray, and a couple of our long-time friends. As John Donne observed, the bell always tolls.

We don’t go to despair–or at least shouldn’t go–like the heathen who have no hope. We are promised eternal life. In the fullness of Christ’s Kingdom, all that was lost shall be restored.

It’s still hard to carry on without our loved ones, though.

Hebrews 11:1 — Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

And it’s what we need.

‘The Grace of God’ (Christian Blogger)

We continue to do our best to give exposure to the work of our fellow Christian bloggers and, hopefully, to add to their readership. Big Tech is whittling down our audience, so we have to help each other.

Today’s essay on the Grace of God comes from our friend and colleague SlimJim from his blog, Veritas Domain.

God’s attribute: The Grace of God Part 2

Here we learn that “grace” is possessed and employed by all three Persons of the Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit–as clearly taught throughout the Bible; and that “grace” is best understood as “unmerited favor,” God’s free gift to us. We don’t deserve it, but we have it!

It’s a long lesson, but full of spiritual nourishment.

Persecution and the Believer, Part 2 (Christian Blogger)

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Many of us are convinced that persecution of Christians is already under way–and that you don’t have to go all the way to China to find it. Here in the United States, and Canada, we find ample evidence of persecution–and a fervent desire, on the part of certain people, to have much, much more of it.

How should Christians cope with persecution? What are the things we most need to remember?

Persecution and the Believer Part 2

Between the two parts of this article at the Domain for Truth (there is a link to Part 1), those questions are answered from the Bible.

The one thing we must not do, ever, is to give in to the persecutors and desert our King.

‘Contempt of the Court’ (Christian Blogger)

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Our friend SlimJim was smokin’ with this post!

Contempt of the Court and thinking about God’s Judgment Day

He’s not the only one to wonder what’ll happen on Judgment Day when sophomoric doofuses accuse God of wrongdoing. Haven’t we all heard fat-heads do this?

Well, here on earth, if you show off like that in court, the judge will probably jail you for contempt of court. They don’t like being made to feel as if the court were there to amuse the defendant.

If you want to see a real-life example of what happens, there’s video embedded in the post.

Really–people who brag about how they’ll turn the tables on God have not the least idea of what they’re talking about.

‘The Immutability of God’ (Christian Blogger)

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Here’s a Bible study by our friend and colleague, “SlimJim,” on his blog, “Veritas Domain.”

Does God ever really change His mind about anything?

God’s attribute: The Immutability of God Part 2

The question’s not as easy as it looks! After all, God made us in His image, and we change our minds all the time. But it’s important to remember that God made us “in His image”; He didn’t make us gods. No, He didn’t do that! But because He is in a very real sense our Father, we can’t help viewing Him in human terms.

Jimmy’s essay delves deeply into the matter.

Christian Blogger: ‘Don’t Quit on Sundays’

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be a pastor? Our friend SlimJim shares his weekend schedule:

Busy Ministry 1st Weekend of June 2021 and thoughts on 2 Timothy 3:16

“Busy Ministry” is right! This pastor’s schedule makes me think of my mother’s old pastor, who came to her house to console us on the death of my father… and fell asleep in the chair. Really, he couldn’t help it! He’d been a pastor for a very long time.

Anyway, it’s not all standing at the pulpit, preaching. I wonder how many of us even suspect how hard our pastors work.

We really ought to show our appreciation.

Christian Blogger Visits the 1960s

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

I don’t think our friend “SlimJim” experienced the 1960s for himself; but I did, and his essay is thoughtful, penetrating, and right on target. Give it an attentive read.

Post 2020 World Being Like the 1960s?

I was in college for the anti-war movement, bomb threats on campus, hippies, drugs, “love”–whatever they meant by that–and the whole daily circus of “protests,” which were mostly virtue signalling, tumult, “days of rage,” and organized hypocrisy. Jimmy sees much the same happening in our country today; and he sees churches setting “woke ideology above the Bible.”

The Sixties bled into the Seventies and then seemingly bled out when Ronald Reagan was elected president.

But now they’re back. And for whatever my memory is worth… they’re worse.

Christian Blogger: Pray for College Choice.

Hold your breath and let’s have a drum roll, please. Will this work?

This Sunday at Church: Pray for someone’s decision of which college to attend next school year

This is from our friend SlimJim’s Domain for Truth blog. WordPress took away my “Reblog” function, then took away “Share This,” so I’ve been wondering how I can share the work of my fellow Christian bloggers on this site.

The method I’m trying here is way less user-friendly than I’d like, but I’m hoping it’s better than nothing.

Bible Contradiction? Who is the first and the last? — The Domain for Truth

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

For today’s post we will tackle the question the Skeptic Annotated Bible asked: Who is the first and the last? Here are the answers which the skeptic believes indicate a Bible contradiction: God ““Listen to Me, O Jacob, even Israel whom I called; I am He, I am the first, I am also the last.” […]

From our friend, SlimJim, who’s been whacking away at the Skeptic Annotated Bible.

Jesus said, “I and the Father are one” (John 10:30). End of contradiction.

On the accusation if someone say there’s violence they are “Far Right” — The Domain for Truth

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

An insight from our friend SlimJim…

Three weeks ago I saw some keep sharing on Social media shared a link from Oregon Live titled “Feds, right-wing media paint Portland as ‘city under siege.’ A tour of town shows otherwise.” Basically this article dismissed those who are concern about the riot in Portland as right wing. I never thought it would happen: […]
