I'm just wondering what some of you would recommend as a means for a woman to defend herself? What are some of the best ways/things that a woman should use to protect herself? (i.e. firearms, mace, martial arts, some sort of weaponry :)... etc.) I would really appreciate any good ideas! ]]> General discussions In His Grip http://www.puritanboard.com/f24/self-defense-tools-women-55690/ What is(are) Your Favorite Book(s) in Your Library? http://www.puritanboard.com/f24/what-your-favorite-book-s-your-library-55687/ Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:15:56 GMT Many of us here on the Puritan Board are bibliophiles.

What is/are your favorite/s book/s in your library and why? Do you have a great story about the book? How you acquired it. Who previously owned it, etc?

Don't mind the small frog (yellowness) coming out of it (didn't know it was in there till I hit the snake with a hoe).

I would have to say mine is J. C. Ryle (As you could guess from my avatar). I have found that when I am going through a hard time if I pick up one of Ryle’s books God always uses it to put me on my knees in prayer. It also helps that Ryle introduced me to Gurnall and Watson my favorite puritans.

Quote:
Be angry and Do not Sin
he said that "be angry" although an indicative (i think) he pointed out a few other places where the type of verb is used in the greek. he translated the verse "when you're angry don't continue in sin"

he then challenged me to reconcile he "ALL" in verse 31 with verse 26

This test will run throughout the day on Wednesday, November 18, 2009 from 9:30 AM-4:30 PM ET. Please feel free to leave a comment here (good or bad) as well as suggestions.

If things go well the program will launch 24/7 on Monday, November 23, 2009

Here's my question that has come from the other similar thread on Reformed and Baptist beliefs.

I currently hold to the "Baptist Faith and Message" and for those who know it, I would like to know how it differs from reformed theology. Is it completely different as some have said in the other thread or is it similar. Can you tell me that a Christian cannot follow reformed doctrines and remain a committed Southern Baptist?

Thanks for all the kind replies, God bless. ]]> General discussions SolaSaint http://www.puritanboard.com/f24/southern-baptist-reformed-55575/ Texas Weather! http://www.puritanboard.com/f24/texas-weather-55550/ Tue, 17 Nov 2009 16:31:13 GMT

Oh. I agree. I guess I'm just slow this morning. It was a cold night in Richardson Texas and I slept like a log. I'm still waking up.
I don't know where Richardson in particular is located, but Texas has been very cold lately, hasn't it? I had trouble getting out from under the blankets this morning. Brrrr!
