@DonWhitney Good morning! Would you have a recommendation for shops in England where I could make a nice fountain pen purchase? My wife and I will be visiting there this summer and I figured you would be a good person to ask. Thanks! 😊
@Phil_Johnson_ Thank you for praying Phil. Our church, Macon Road Baptist Church in Arlington, TN was one of them.
And words cannot express how we miss Pastor John. He was a generational gift to the church and my wife and I will, literally, be eternally grateful for His teaching and life.
@grcastleberry Wow, understandable then why they would choose that spot to put so many tributes to so many gods. Thanks brother. May the Lord bless your faithfulness.
There is something inexpressibly pleasing to a justified mind to know that God has all the honor in our salvation, and we have none; to know that God’s law is not injured but magnified and made honorable; to know that we are safe, and God has all the glory

Antonius Walaeus (1573–1639): “If Holy Scripture is neglected, then nothing in the Christian religion can be established with certainty, for from outside of it no criterion or guidance could be given to distinguish the divine truth from false influences and erroneous forces.”
Let Us Love And Sing And Wonder
Hear the name of Jesus sounded
Loud by untold tongues above!
Shamed are we and so confounded −
Faint our praises, cold our love!
We are washed in Jesus’ blood!
Stir our hearts and songs, O God.
A word from Spurgeon on Eternal Security from John 10, “I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish.”
Jesus says, “I give” — I continue to give— “to them eternal life.” That cannot be affected by an unworthiness subsequently discovered, because God knoweth the end from the beginning.
When He bestowed eternal life upon the man who hath it, He knew right well every imperfection and failing that would occur in that man.
How can life be eternal if it comes to an end? When Christ says eternal, he means eternal, and if I have received the gift of eternal life, it’s not possible for me so to sin as to lose that spiritual life by any means whatsoever. “It is eternal life.”
You must not suppose that which never can occur. “They shall never perish.”
This is not the distinctive privilege of a few, but the common mercy of them all; none of them— not one of them— shall ever perish.
Satan has never yet celebrated a triumph over the Redeemer. He is not able to hold up a single jewel of the Redeemers crown and say, “Aha! aha! I stole it from thy diadem. Thou couldst not keepit!”
“They shall never perish.” they shall never be in such a state of heart, that sin shall have dominion over them— utter and entire dominion.”
@D_B_Harrison Thank you, Darrell. I’m so very often encouraged by the Scriptures you post and reminded how much you must dwell in the Word before all other things. The Lord bless you brother.
@pastorjgkell Good morning pastor. I continue in prayer for Eden and you and your family.
Praise the Lord for all those he has surrounded you with.
And praise Him for the fullness and wisdom of the comfort He alone provides.
Habakkuk 3:17-19
@JoshBuice My name from the palms of His hands eternity will not erase
Impressed on His heart it remains, in marks of indelible grace
Yes, I to the end shall endure, as sure as the earnest is giv’n
More happy, but not more secure, the glorified spirits in heav’n
“A Debtor To Mercy Alone”
I truly believe, without any hyperbole whatsoever, that Kenneth Copeland is demon possessed. He (along with Todd Bentley) is one of the darkest individuals I've ever seen. He has uttered some of the most blood-curdling, blasphemous statements ever to cross the lips of anyone to claim any connection to Christ whatsoever.
All these so-called "deliverance ministries" should look to him as their #1 customer. But then, they are all in his same theological camp. Not one of them would be willing to call him out as the wolf and charlatan that he is.
