1 - Once Saved Always Saved? I used to think that once saved, I would always be saved. This in part because of the scripture in Romans 8:38 Where Paul makes the statement:
("For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor dept... 2 - God Answered My Prayer with a Song I rolled from one pillow to the next, twisting about under a sheet, trying to get comfortable. My ankles swollen and small contractions were coming on like a bad case of hiccups. My due date was five days away and I suffered with nagging heartburn all day. While my physical body was aching, the ... 3 - Formed From the Dust of the Earth? Scripture reference: (Gen. 2:7 [7] The Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.)
God formed man from the dust of the earth? Should we believe this statement literally or was the author of Genesis ... 4 - Evil Spirits Will Return- Letter to my daughter My daughter,
I want you to know how proud I am of you. You??ve been reborn and the Lord is your savior. Beware of the unclean spirit that came out of you, he Will return.
The bible says: When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places seeking rest, and finds none... 5 - Forgiving Clyde Corbin I was two years old when my mother abruptly died from a hemorrhaging brain aneurysm. Less than a year after her death, my dad married a woman named Judy. Judy had an uncle whose name was Clyde Corbin. I don't remember all of the details, but for some reason, my dad and new stepmother used to drop... 6 - The Day He Rescued Me from a Demon Possessed Woman A year after we moved into our house, the renters living next door, moved out. The next month, a man and his girlfriend moved in.
My two daughters (a 3 year old and a 2 year old at the time) kept me busy most of the time, so I didn??t get a chance to meet with the new neighbors.
After t... 7 - Growing Up Growing up is hard even in your spiritual life. When we talk to Christians about God, it??s important to make an effort to find out where they are spiritually before judging them or making an assumption of what they already know about God.
Some Christians are at the point in their ??Walk?... 8 - Resolution not resolutions needed! Resolution not resolutions needed!
At Christmas, a glance at the any crib or nativity scene tells us something obvious. It is as if Mary displays her son to the world and says ??Here you are. Follow Him!? - a very simple demonstration of where our true peace is.
2006 lies before us. What hav... 9 - Putting God First PUTTING GOD FIRST
Margaret (Peggy) Kannaday
When I was a new Christian, The Lord taught me many lessons about putting Him first.
I was raising my daughter, and I was always so concerned about her well-being and education. It seemed that my life was revolving around her.
One day, The Lord spok... 10 - Diasters-What Did Jesus Say? DISASTERS-WHAT DID JESUS SAY?

By hiding the truth, they keep the majority of human beings ignorant and so it is easy for them to deceive, manipulate and control them.
That is why and how priests and ... 13 - Introduction to studies in Religion- Christian Life FREE BIBLE LESSON from New World Mission Dunamis International University

On October 25 2002, my third daughter was stillborn In TX.
The realization I wouldn??t be given any official documents left me numb. I reasoned the rest of... 15 - Rhema Therapy The Words I Speak to You Are Spirit and Are Life (John 6:63)
The word Rhema comes from the ancient Greek word meaning ??living, breathing word?.
It is distinguished from the written Word of God which is logos. The spoken Word of God is considered Rhema. Jesus said, ??The Words I speak to ... 16 - What Gift Will You Give? Now that the hustle and bustle of Christmas is around us, this may be a good time to sit back, relax, and contemplate what would be the best gift that we could give this Christmas.
We are often told that wisdom is passed down through the ages, so I would like to take you on a little journey back... 17 - Judge Not! What Goes Around Comes Around I am sure you have heard that saying many times before, but are you aware that it is a scriptural principal. Yep, Luke 6:378 says, "Judge not, and ye shall not be judged : Condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: Forgive, and ye shall be forgiven.
Give, and it shall be given unto: good measu... 18 - Prayer Is The Best Thing! Prayer definitely works and is still working today as it did thousands of years ago. There are many that have experienced it's power.
Just when you wonder when are things going to get better...prayer gets answered! And most of the time it will be better results than what you imagined! A powerful... 19 - God's Broken Promise One of the common claims by young earth creationists is that if Noah's Flood were a local flood, then God has broken his promise many times. According to The Answers Book, chapter 10,
"If the Flood were local, God would have repeatedly broken His promise never to send such a Flood again. There ... 20 - The Floating Forest Theory Sinks One explanation used by young-earth proponents to explain that all coal seams formed during the Flood is the concept of the floating forest, which can be found on the Answers in Genesis website, written by Carl Wieland. There are actually four articles on the web that we will consider when discus... 21 - Death Before The Fall Of Man Young-earth creationists have long argued against the occurrence of death before the fall of man. This mistaken doctrine stems from two verses in the Bible. The first is Genesis 1:29-30, which states, "And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all... 22 - What Is The Storehouse Where The Tithes Go? Things in the Old Testament were given for us to have examples of what to do and what not to do. Paul shows us this.
1 Cor 10:6
6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. (KJV)
1 Cor 10:11

Why do some churches have old time hymns and others have several guitars, drums and other types of instruments that weren't in churches twenty plus years ago? Are we getting away from what a Christian church should be, and forming something else that maybe isn't acceptable to God today?
I know ... 25 - What Is Abundance? Learning to create abundance in your life is about much more than simply creating material wealth; it is about enriching your Self as a whole. Abundance is for everyone, not just the limited few that life appears to have smiled on.
Actually, we are surrounded by abundance. Nature is lavish, eve... 26 - Spiritual Compass In Your Life Why people need compass? People use it as an important equipment to steer them the way to their destination, whatever the conditions encountered.Similarly, when we embark on our spiritual journey, we need a spiritual compass to help us steer our way through the "minefield" of life's hurts, failur... 27 - Your Core Belief We sometimes accept a core believe as the truth without questioning it. As core beliefs accumulate over the years they eventually make up a system that functions in much the same way as a computer's operating system. Running in the background at such a discreet level, we are usually not even awar... 28 - Beyond Expectation And Enjoy Success The basic but important principle of success in life and business is to give better service with a positive mental attitude above and beyond what is expected Nature applies this principle in the production of foods that grow from the soil. The farmer is forced to go the extra mile, clearing the l... 29 - Communication Between God And Us We all need a proper and clear line of communication. If there is any misunderstanding due to lack of effective communication, it can easily lead to chaos. Our mighty industrial world would grind to a halt. Every military campaign would flounder. Love and fellowship between human beings would be ... 30 - Giving To The Poor Brings The Greatest Blessings The genuinely poor, what about them? Did God make provisions for them? If so, do we have a part in these provisions? Are there blessings attached that will accrue to us if we fulfill our part in what the Bible directs us to do concerning the poor?
Are there Scriptures to guide us here? Yes. Look... 31 - Is It Really Possible To Find Real Happiness? I used to ask myself this question ??how do you find real happiness? day after day after day. It just seemed to be so elusive and as I looked around at other people who seemed to be so happy I just wondered why I was so different ?? or was I?
I did not enjoy the drudgery of going to a job th... 32 - Living A Happy Life Most of us get up each day and go through the same routine whatever we do in life ?? most of us are reasonably happy and content and just get on with living.
There is of course nothing wrong with that in the slightest but what would you say if you were granted the gift of REAL happiness which l... 33 - Having Hope In God I had never been particularly interested in religion especially after my schooldays when it was rammed down my throat ?? it just seemed so boring and unreal with so many rules and regulations that to me it was just something for ??sad? people living their sad and pathetic lives.
I??d heard ... 34 - Life Happiness Is it really possible to attain a lifetime of happiness or is this just some dumb dream that we all have from time to time ?? well I can??t promise you a lifetime of happiness each and every day of your life ?? JUST MOST DAYS.
Now if someone had told me that a few years ago I would have quick... 35 - Self Esteem And Addiction Self esteem is something I believe that we would all like to have but when you have some powerful addiction one of the first things you lose is your self esteem.
None of us like to think we are addicted to something and are adamant that we are in complete control, only doing what we do because w... 36 - Dont Hold A Grudge Against Me! We all need to be cautious and not make quick judgements! The thing that really bothers me is being accused of something I didn??t do and having that person hold a grudge against me. You know the feeling?helpless! Or you might think that somebody intentionally did something to hurt you, and yo... 37 - Healing And Prosperity Scriptures Include All Christians Deut 8:18 18 But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.

This Scripture was written to and for the Abrahamic Seed Group. When a Gentile accepts Christ as... 38 - Christian Books: Our Ways To God The ultimate Christian book is the Bible. Next to it are the books published specifically as supplements of Christian theology. Individual Christian books that allow both the authors and the readers to explore the realms of Christianity. To interpret philosophical questions and virtually all othe... 39 - Youth Ministry Goals 1. Do whatever it takes to get teens to heaven. Paul wrote that he became all things to all people so that some might be saved (II Corinthians 9:19-23). How well does this relate to your ministry? What could you be doing that might reach more teens in your schools and community?
Ministry has its... 40 - Chalk And Noah's Flood Young earth creation science advocate Andrew Snelling proposes in his article "Can Flood Geology Explain Thick Chalk Layers?" that it is possible to lay down massive layers of chalk in a short amount of time (Footnote 1). It is necessary for him to prove this can happen, because the chalk layers ... 41 - God Doesn't Care About Creation Science How could such a statement be true? How could the creator of all things not really care about His creation?
As a blanket, catch-all statement, it is only partially true. God cares that you recognize Him as the creator. What I??m referring to is the ??how? of creation.
As Christians, we all... 42 - Noah's Flood The Flood of Noah is one of the centerpiece arguments for young-earth theology. Because of this, I have been asked what I believe the Flood of Noah was like.
To answer this question, let us first look at what the Flood is not?it is not the event that has been described by the young-earth theo... 43 - Old Earth Creationist Relationships As old-earth creationists, what should our relationship be with the young-earth creationist? Can we get along together, in the same churches, without arguing?
As you can imagine, a lot of the email that Answers In Creation receives is from the young-earth person who takes issue with our positio... 44 - Transitional Fossils Transitional fossils, or the supposed lack thereof, has been used for many years by anti-evolutionists to argue against evolution. Here, I will explain what a transitional fossil is, and why it is not valid as an argument against evolution.
