10 Things You Won't Find In A Godly Marriage - Time-Warp Wife | Time-Warp Wife: "Could you stand up in a room and say, without embarrassment, “We’re not perfect but even so, I encourage you to follow our example in marriage?”

A godly couple can say this because of what’s missing from their marriage (and because of what’s there, but that’s another article). Sometimes it’s good when certain things go missing."

Why make rules that are pretty much impossible to live up to then punish the creations for being simply the way they were 'created'? If there is a God [He] is not the loving creator that most christians say they believe in, it is at best a tinkerer, a trickster and a child who breaks his toys when he does not get his own way."  Patricia Bentley-Ivens"

End Times: Are there Biblical signs that show us when Jesus will return? - Kindle edition by Glenn Pease. Religion & Spirituality Kindle eBooks @ Amazon.com.: "There are hundreds of books written about signs of the times showing that we are in the end times because of something the author interpreted from the Bible. The problem with signs of the end times is that there is nothing in the Bible to back up what they say. The opposite is true, Jesus said we will not know when he will return, he will come like a thief in the night, so we need to be ready all the time.
There is one sign that we can support from the Bible, that when it is complete, Jesus will return. This sign is not something that we can measure, but when it has happened, Jesus will return."

Question of the Week

Question of the Week: ": Gaining in popularity today is the teaching that a series of blood-red moons in the next two years will be a portent of Jesus’ second coming and a fulfillment of biblical prophecy. Astronomical charts show four lunar eclipses will occur from 2014 to 2015. Because a full lunar eclipse often makes the moon look red or orange, it is sometimes referred to as a “blood moon” or “blood-red moon.” Some teachers of prophecy say that this tetrad of blood moons will fulfill end-times prophecies in Joel and Revelation."

Out of context – five of the most misused Bible verses | Christian News on Christian Today: "The Bible is brilliant. Full of incredible wisdom, and more than that, a book that is somehow alive; the clearest way in which humanity can hear from God. Taken as a whole, it communicates the heart, character and nature of God, and gives us an understanding of his relationship with humanity. However, thanks to a helpful 13th century Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bible is divided into the chapters and verses by which we quote and reference it today – and that's where the trouble can start..."

Evangelical Compromisers Launching Campaign for Same-Sex Marriages: "I am always amazed and saddened to see just how far some Christians will to compromise the Word of God in order to justify their sins or a sinful lifestyle. They remind me of a child who is given a plate full of good healthy food, only for the child to sit and pick at the food, eating only what they want to and hoping to throw the rest in the garbage. That’s what so many Christians are doing with God’s Word these days; they are picking and choosing what principles they want to accept and what ones they want to ignore and throw in the garbage."

If God has the power to prevent evil and desires to prevent evil, why does He still allow evil? Perhaps a practical way to look at this question would be to consider some alternative ways people might have God run the world:"
