people who look a bit like Jesus in America

anthony davis @lookatdesktop (27134) • Dallas, Texas 5 Jan 18

I was watching TMZ - aka Thirty Mile Zone, last night, late night. There was an article about a man they referred to as Hollywood Jesus, who recently died. He dressed up in a white robe like Jesus wore and was about as much like...

Alice Henry Just a thought for you to consider. Your post was very interesting. The thing is that, no one knows what Jesus looked like. Artists over the years have depicted him in many different ways, but none of them ever saw Jesus and there are no photos of him....

maezee @maezee (41988) • United States 3 Jan 18

This is probably nothing new but as I watched the news, I saw one church in Minneapolis was offering emergency shelter over the blistering cold weekend for the homeless. Wind chills reached 30 below. I thought this was super...

Many are departing from the real Truth

Anne Marie Guyer @LeaPea2417 (37350) • Toccoa, Georgia 3 Jan 18

Sound Biblical Doctrine, that is what I have naively assumed most Christians believe (as I believe), but that is not what is happening in these last days. As I ponder this and how falsehood is becoming more accepted, I am reminded...

Alice Henry The primary reason that people don't know the real truth is that they don't read and study the Bible for themselves. They depend on someone else to tell them what the Bible says. The Bible clearly says at Roman 14:12 that "each of us will render an account...

Alice Henry I'm so very sorry to hear that you have lost your mother to death. Perhaps a scripture that I love will bring you some comfort. John 5:28, 29 or Acts 24:15 which says: "I have hope toward God...that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous...

WINDOWS OF THE SOUL.

Kandase @Kandae11 (54986) 24 Dec 17

Balls and Br*** Monkeys

Judy Evans @JudyEv (339591) • Rockingham, Australia 25 Aug 16

Have you heard the expression 'cold enough to freeze the balls off a br*** monkey'? Did you think it rather a risqué comment? I always thought it was although I didn't understand it. I learnt today that it actually comes from...
