wtrentcotton added a link contribution A Difficult Study for Men: Circumcisionhttp://christianmenchristianwarrior.wordpress.com/2009/08/29/a-difficult-study-for-men-circumcision/Let’s face it, if you are a part of a men’s Bible Study, the last subject you would expect to have would be one on circumcision. Unfortunately, when covering a book in the Bible in sequential order, you have to discuss some topics you would normally just skip over. If you cover any of the epistles, chances are, you will come across the great debate of the time, “circumcision vs. no circumcision.” Read more »

wtrentcotton added a link contribution True Understanding of Salvation-Confessions from a Converted CatholicGrowing up, I have the fondest of memories of going to church and learning about God. My family was and still is one deeply rooted in the Catholic faith. So, in being a good son, I grew up in the Catholic church and learned as much as I could, starting at a very early age. As I grew in my faith, my understanding of true salvation was based more in what I could do for God rather than what God did for me through Christ. Read more »

In that one moment, we have the choice of a lifetime to make. What would you say? Who would you say it to? What would you leave behind for those whom you love? I would like for us to explore one last word in particular: Telos. Read more »

wtrentcotton added a link contribution Enemy behind the Lines- Fear Part IIFear cripples most of us and we do not know how infested our camp is with fear until we are faced with one of these moments. Most of the time, myself included, we back down and simply retreat thinking there will be another day to fight. I have thought the same, but have been asked by Christ through my spirit, “What if the battle you needed to fight was today?” That’s a hard question to answer. Read more »

Personally, I equate regret with a deep sense of darkness that overtakes my soul. Physically, there are times where I feel everything from a headache forming in the b… Read more »

wtrentcotton added a link contribution Enemy behind the Lines- UnforgivenessWhile pondering today’s Scripture Reading, I noticed one line of this story I had never really taken into account. Of course, we all know the story of the two sons, one son who works the fields while the other one spends his inheritance on matters of the world and after finding himself with the pigs, decides to go back to his father for forgiveness. You know this story as do I and most us focus on the wonderful correlation to how the father welcomed his son home regardless of his faults and ho… Read more »
