Teach Me Oh Lord, To Love Like You

Original Post:  http://community.logos.com/forums/p/18568/424892.aspx#424892 I have a question which kinda goes with this topic. I'm trying to rationalize purchasing a LOGOS 5 plan, and i don't want to just purchase a whole bunch of material which will either go unread, or keep me from viewing the resources which I am most interested in. I'm loving the idea of the timeline, so at this point i'm looking at either a Gold plan or a Platinum plan. The thing is, i've been researching Apologetics and Patristics with a friend, and am seriously considering purchasing these three sets from Amazon.com; (or have been for over 2 years) - but am closer to pulling the trigger. In everything else, I have switched from purchasing books in print, and have moved to either Kindle, iBooks, Zinio, Kno, or  iTunes-U. I have a Macbook, & an iPad2 to work with.  I've also downloaded Olive Tree, Bible.com's App, and a number of other "free" App versions of Bible ...

We covered Sexual Immorality in my Men's Group this evening. Some pretty heavy stuff. I was introduced to a preacher man named Perry Noble, and what the Apostle Paul states was the Biblical solutions for keeping away from sexual immorality.  Answer: Marriage. THANKS CHET. working on that. There was some good lessons that were drawn out of this subject. Pretty heavy for my first visit to  Calvary Chapel of Costa Mesa 's Men's Bible Study. But a rewarding experience, nevertheless. SEVEN THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND IN REGARDS TO SEXUAL SIN (by Perry Noble) For the past two weeks at NewSpring Church we have dove into the subject of sexual sin IN the church (based on the fact that Jesus rebukes two churches in Revelation chapter two for sexual sin IN the church.) Here are several thoughts/reminders in regards to what we covered. (The sermons are available on itunes and on the NewSpring Church website if you want to see/hear them in their entirety.) Who or what you pursue ...

More Christian Than You Are 0 October 29, 2012,   0  Comments Romans 2:1 NASB Therefore you have no excuse, everyone of you who passes judgment, for in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things. I'm having a hard time right now with my parents, who say they are Christian, and in a very hurtful way, they will tell me that my heart is not right, or that i'm not living my life right, or that my problems are a result of not living a good Christian life. I go to Church regularly, up until recently, I would go to Church with my Mom, while my Dad was out surfing. I've read the Bible 4 times, and I know (or at least I can tell when a verse from the Bible is being cited, and) when someone is making up something that sounds like it should be in the Bible, but it isn't. My Dad doesn't read the Bible. And so, I am basically at odds with people who are stuck in the 80's mentality of how ...

Resentments Within A Reaganite Family October 28, 2012,   1  Comments   Edit post Mark 13:9 ESV 9  “But be on your guard. For they will deliver you over to councils, and you will be beaten in synagogues, and you will stand before governors and kings for my sake, to bear witness before them. Criminal Threats / Terrorism? Or using a Metaphor towards Providing insight as to How much capital a family hoards vs how much they help their less fortunate family members. Romans 3:10 NASB as it is written, "THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT EVEN ONE; It started simply with my parents understanding that I was using WiFi phone, and was in the process of looking for a job. My iPhone4, with Google Voice became my phone number when my ex and I broke up and separated the AT&T plans. I found out that when we merged the plans, the representative who said that we could easily separate the phone numbers and go back to individ...

This essay was published in February of 1990, in the following context: The Supreme Court had declared in 1986 (Bowers v. Hardwick) that a Georgia law prohibiting sodomy even in the privacy of one's own home was constitutional. I was also writing this essay to a conservative Mormon audience that at the time would have felt no interest in decriminalizing homosexual acts. In that context, my call to "leave the laws on the books" was simply recognizing the law at that time, and my call to not enforce it except in flagrant cases was actually, within that context, a liberal and tolerant view -- for which I was roundly criticized in conservative Mormon circles as being "pro-gay." Those who now use this essay to attack me as a "homophobe" deceptively ignore the context and treat the essay as if I had written it yesterday afternoon. That is absurd -- now that the law has changed (the decision was overturned in 2003) I have no interest in criminalizing homo...
