Joel rarely mentions the words--sin, repentance, saved, & tells people to trust Jesus 7 get into a Bible Believing Church as a footnote to his sermon. But everything Joel says is biblical, & about turning from sin to God. Joel's gift is encouragement & he does it so well. Thank God for Joel.Bob Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16319474473382300800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7686368093518340879.post-90617859062822534332016-04-09T18:29:33.770-04:002016-04-09T18:29:33.770-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Bob Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16319474473382300800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7686368093518340879.post-3801495938532667982016-04-09T18:21:31.813-04:002016-04-09T18:21:31.813-04:00I also recommend my theologian, Dr. Norman Geisler...I also recommend my theologian, Dr. Norman Geisler.

I don't agree with everything they might say, but I might be wrong. Joyce Meyer is the most practical Bible teacher I know. Some say she's a woman preacher, rich, has a millian $ place to travel worldwide. So, it's the love of money that's sin. She loves Jesus & God uses her in so many ways all over the world. Thank God for her.Bob Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16319474473382300800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7686368093518340879.post-15648912360485713112015-07-20T08:16:30.004-04:002015-07-20T08:16:30.004-04:00Dear reader friends, if when to have our hair fixe...Dear reader friends, if when to have our hair fixed or what clothes to wear today are our only concerns, then we will suffer eternal loss when we all bow before Jesus to give account of our lives. Unbelievers rejecting Jesus will perish in their darkness without Jesus for eternity. Believers who ignore good relationship with Jesus & never tell others of their only hope in the Savior will lose eternal joys of lost opportunities. THINK!

In English, "The Kingdom of the Cults" by Walter Martin & Ravi Zacharias is the definitive work on the subject. Another outstanding book is, "The Bible Has the Answer" by Henry M. Morris & Martine E. Clark. We have minds to think, ask questions, and learn. That's the way we grow & improve & is our human right. Any religion that forbids that & forces their views on us are hiding things we better find out. And anyone who claims there's no absolute truth expects you to believe their statement is absolutely true.

Muncaster. Ralph was a hard nose atheist who did extensive research into Bible prophecy to disprove its validy, and after years became firmly convinced the Bible is an inspired, authorative revelation from God. Another good book explaining Bible prophecy is, "Beginning Of The End" by John Hagee.

But many persons of hard heart want to do their own thing and don't want God's will is their life. Thus, we must be careful and respectful of who we think wants to know the Lord. True love is never forced but invited. God gives us the right to have our own way no matter the consequences. Also, respect peoples right to their communities such as cooking, gardening, sports, art, music, etc. Lord, give us wisdom and grace in our sharing.Bob Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16319474473382300800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7686368093518340879.post-88757201098457696082015-04-08T07:42:35.262-04:002015-04-08T07:42:35.262-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Bob Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16319474473382300800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7686368093518340879.post-88893751954095182042015-03-25T12:29:16.588-04:002015-03-25T12:29:16.588-04:00Other articles on Jesus' resurrection are thes...Other articles on Jesus' resurrection are these: Is There Life After Death? Did Jesus Arise from the Tomb? Recent Theories to Disprove Jesus' Resurrection? You might want to check them out too and send the WWW. So much of what we do won't mean a thing when we die.

"Life Application Study Bible with NLT" (large print). It's conservative scholarship, modern reader friendly, with super abundant helps for understanding and notes of application. Also, "Major Bible Themes" by Lewis Sperry Chafer revised by John F. Walvoord. It's 52 Bible teachings simplified and explained. These will ground you in Christian faith and understanding.

(1) Man was made directly from ground preventing any former animal ancestory (Gen. 1-3). (2) Adam found no suitable helpmate among the animals, then God made Eve. (3) God made our first parents beings of dignity & destiny. As created in God's image with intelligence to name & dominate the animals. As created with free will to choose paradise with God eternally or reject it. We are designed sexually & socially compatible for family and as neither programmed machines, nor instinctual animals. (4) Both people and animals reproduce after their own kind. (5) Jesus (Mt. 19:4; Lk. 19:10) and Paul (Rom. 5:12-21) base man's Fall & need of salvation on Gen. 1-3. (6) The whole Bible makes no sense unless all of this is real true fact no matter what critics claim.Bob Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16319474473382300800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7686368093518340879.post-83934648223313037512014-10-20T10:37:24.325-04:002014-10-20T10:37:24.325-04:00Dear friend, thanks for reading these important bl...Dear friend, thanks for reading these important blog articles.

Jesus paid for our sins on the cross, arose again, & said trust in Me for everlasting life. We're victorious in Christ, not by dwelling on our sins and failures, but by daily focusing on our Lord's forgiveness, goodness, power, and love for us. And, the best thing we can do is tell others about the Savior.
