This is an on-line discussion forum for the Glascow Street church of Christ in Victoria Texas.
Peter says, in 1 Peter 3:15-16, "...always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear; having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed."
In other words, what do you believe and why? When someone asks you why you believe or practice a certain thing, are you able to give an answer?
Jesus himself said in Matt 7:21-23 that it's not enough to call on His name... It's not enough to do many "good" things in His name... If we aren't doing the will of the Father, none of it matters! So if we can't give an answer for the hope that is in us, how can we be certain we are doing His will?
It is my hope that this discussion forum will allow for discussion of the things that are so pertinent to the salvation of our souls. As John urges we will test the spirits. (1 John 4:1)
