October 21, 2020, 08:20:25 pm says: Good evening.....Mark, I tend to agree with you but there is no religion (that is not already here on earth) that will give one salvation....Except maybe during Daniel's 70th week.

better seems to be how ya got here."

Yeah Alex I think nailed it now that he said it and I reflected on it.
October 20, 2020, 03:21:15 pm says: Generally, on Tuesday or Wednesday mornings, I try to go walk the Labyrinth at a local church.  It is in a beautiful, treed setting so quiet and peaceful.  So easy to get into my own head.   I was thinking about commonalities that various things inside the different denominations have and I wondered, with so much in common why do we have such large spaces between each other in accepting beliefs.  Of course, this led my mind down the rabbit hole.   It occurred to me; Jesus was a reformer.  His original intent was to reform the Church of his people.  To take it back in some areas close to Moses and David and progressive in other areas.  Jesus did not intend to start a whole new religion.  Same can be said for Luther.  He did not intent to break away from the Catholics.  No, he wanted them to return to the roots of the belief in Christ and God and away from the Papacy.  He did not have an actual issue with the existence of the Papacy, but at that time in history the Bishop of Rome was more powerful on Earth than Christ or God.  He felt that was wrong.  Calvin did not intend for a break away religion from Luther’s break away, but he say issues in the dogma and doctrine that had drifted from what Lutheran had intended.  There is a reoccurring process here.  
Based on what I am seeing we are at an epoch again where someone will come forward and led us into new direction in Christianity.  The problem I have is that it is going to be two people or groups and in two different direction.  This is dangerous for Christianity’s survival.  I hope and pray I am wrong.
October 20, 2020, 06:43:04 am says: Good morning everyone...Mark, Brian and I talk often about how the church is to be led by Christ not the other way around...amen.
October 19, 2020, 08:29:30 pm says: good evening to everyone... good luck with picking a scripture Mark, there are so many good ones to choose from..
October 19, 2020, 05:27:53 pm says: TRY this again

The church does not constitute the word, rather the church is constituted by the word.  So many have been missing that point lately.
October 19, 2020, 01:42:36 pm says: Jesus Wept, might be the one I put in a side panel.
October 19, 2020, 01:41:20 pm says: So thoughts from this morning while I did my rehab for my knees.
God's grace is just that, God's grace, and no one else can claim the right to bestow it.

October 19, 2020, 08:35:11 am patrick jane says: Mark, I like the one you have. I will be on the lookout for some verses to fit.
October 19, 2020, 08:30:22 am says: Good morning everyone...mark...not sure you want this on your bike but the first passage I thought of was JESUS WEPT.  Heard a guy talking once about being in a concentration camp and when they could no longer remember verses to encourage one another with, they thought of JESUS WEPT and it gave them strength to know that Jesus was weeping with them.

The other I thought of was Phil. 4:19 about God supplying our needs.  The reason this one came to mind was because we ran out of gas one very bitter cold night.  No one would stop to help, Brian couldn't walk, it was too far and too cold, He tried pushing the car and that didn't work.  With a baby in the car and bitter cold temps and no idea what to do we prayed and within a few seconds, someone stopped...it was a tanker truck full of gas...he not only got us gas immediately but followed us to the station.  Got to Love how GOD works sometimes.

Let us know what you decide on, I'm interested to know what you choose.
October 19, 2020, 01:31:01 am says: Thinking of this scripture or something similar

1 Corinthians 16:13-14
New International Version
13 Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. 14 Do everything in love.
October 19, 2020, 12:58:22 am says: Okay, asking for some input.  I am planning on having short meaningful scripture painted on my bikes gas tank.   I am looking for any suggestions.   Please.
October 18, 2020, 10:51:49 pm says: Today at 07:41:41 pm Bladerunner says: Good evening everyone.... Hi PJ and the answer is yes, It seems this is one of the busiest times of the year for the business coupled with preparations for the coming winter makes it hard to stay long on the forums as usual. Things will wind down after the middle of Nov. hopefully.  plus I am trying to write a few articles blog I have setup.
Thanks for asking.

Mark, your not watching the world blow away, your just waiting like we all are. Getting by until then.
October 18, 2020, 08:45:20 pm says: thanks Mark.
October 18, 2020, 08:00:41 pm says: LOL so true Blade.  Glad it is a busy time for you.  That beats the alternative.  Prayers it all goes well during this time.
