ouestion

I have seen some disturbing stuff on t.v latley and wondered if I could ask some of you who might have read the books what they are about.

I just heard about a book about the Passion on the back of More than a Carpenter. I heard it is the 4 gospels but in a continuing story. What is the continuing story? Is this a fictional account of what might have taken place?? Also...the statement was made that is was probably better to read than the actual gospels???

I hear another well known minister encourage people to read her stuff above the Bible a few days ago.

Is pride invading the pulpits? Preachers are using the "I" word an awful lot these days.

I think I would also like us to join in prayer for the body of Christ.

Please let me know if you know what this continuing story is all about?

Probably, the pulpit is a very dangerous place to fill. I've preached a very few times, and hope to do it more and more, but nothing can fuel my pride more than being given the chance to Preach.

Once, i truly think I was first denied the oppurtunity to preach simply so that I would not be prideful of the spot. I had a message prepared ready for this very purpouse, and was not chosen. However, only one week prior to the engagement the person chosen called on my to take his place when he found out he couldn't make it.

At any rate... I would suggest reading other peoples stuff, but never above or in place of Scripture.

I have no idea what the "continued story" is about... sorry can't help there.

You are Correct we need to pray... it is very important.

God Bless

I once heard a preacher on TV endorse breast implants, because "the people of God ought to look good". For that, and so many other countless reasons, my family and I decided to stop watching TV altogether.

I'm a new Christian, but one thing I've learned quickly is that reading the bible is very important. Reading other material is good if your careful about what you read. I ordered six books that I thought would help me become closer to God, but after reading a few pages of each book I understood that even though the authors claim to be christian and was writing about the word I found that they were not. One book said that believing that all humans are born in sin is only a myth pasted down from one generation to the other. I am be a new Christian, but even I knew that that was wrong. Another said that we are all God's. (Yeah right!!!) There is only one God, Amen. I've stop buying books off the internet and started buying them from my church or from the different churches I watch on TBN. Anyway, just be careful of what you read. There are a lot of people out there who would love to lead you down the wrong path. :il:

God Bless You

Yes, always be sure what you Believe is based on the Word of God...

And, lines up with the Scripture...The Holy Bible...

The Holy Spirit is active today and is revealing more and more to Believers who will pray and listen to what the Spirit of God is saying to them...

We Are on the winning Team...We Are Winners...

Friends of God...and God is living big in our lives...

We need to share the Truth in Love....and 'Let the Redeemed Say So'
