Anyone else here think that much of the trouble for the church today is because too many Christians do not fear the Lord? There about about three hundred injunctions in the bible to fear the Lord, but I don't think many people these days actually do. I suspect that many liberally minded folks...

reading the bible I sometimes end up scratching my head over the bible. But of course, like lawrensons writes, it's no ordinary book. The books of the bible were written by a variety of people for a variety of audiences, over a long period of time. I agree with lawrensons, the Gospel's are...

It's OK Being the son of God is OK. I am also the son of Nicholas. He has another son besides me, and a daughter. So does God, and lots of them! I don't want to write more here as this is the wrong thread for theology or interpretaion of scripture. I do know others who had experiences like...

favourite hymn My favourite hymn tune is perhaps 'Abide with me', but then I am a musician. My overall favourites are "When a Knight won his spurs" and "Lord of the Dance". Both have great tunes and moving lyrics.

midnight oil Hello. I just noticed this thread. Not that there's much on it. I suppose we're up late to work on something or other. I tend to do coding and research at night - about the only time I'm guaranteed a half-decent amount of peace and quiet.

have something in mind to achieve From my own experience, learning PHP for myself and teaching others, the best way is to have a reference (e.g. php.net online manuals), and something in mind you want to achieve, a project to work on, and some friendly folks who will give you pointers. This is...

I've heard people say that drumming religion into children is wrong and that you shoud let them make their own minds up. But if you truly believe, surely it is wrong to hide the truth from your children? They will make their own minds up in the end, but by telling them the truth all along...
