"Sometimes, the Lord calms the storm. And sometimes, He lets the storm rage but calms the child.'

My pastor asked the congregation today if, 'our towels were wet?' In reference to John 13-- So ... is your towel wet?

Well, not while I'm sleeping.

I woke up in the middle of the night and what came over me was this overwhelming need to praise God. It was very strange but I went with it. I didn't get to sleep until 4 in the morning, but I'm feeling fabulous today! Thank the Lord! He is good!

I am reading through 1 Corinthians right now and a question suddenly popped in my head. I had to share it. If Paul of Tarsus was alive today and was writing a letter to your church, what would he say?

Hi, I don't often do this but I think my brother needs some prayer warriors on his side. I've been praying for him constantly, I'm very worried about him. He used to be a big lad, around 280lbs and over 6 feet but he's been living with this family that have been manipulating him, starving him...

I was pretty hung up on Lev 19:28 as well.. but then, you have to consider WHEN this was written. While yes, it is the word of God, I do believe it was aimed specifically towards Pagans. Because way back thousands of years ago, who were the ones to get tattoos? And what were they of? They were...

I can never pray enough. I sit for hours, thinking of Him, thanking Him, and asking Him for help. And when I'm asked if I pray enough, my answer will be never.

Hello! Just wanted to share a unique opportunity. On August 12th, the Perseid Meteor shower should get underway. This certain phenomenon only happens once ever 133 years and luckily, will be easily viewed as the moon will be waxing and the moonlight won't drown out the meteor shower. I guess...

Thank you all for the advice... I don't have much to say, only that your kind responses have given me a lot to think about. :) I'm really sorry that I hijacked the thread-- I really did think it related to what you were asking >.< Or perhaps I was projecting.

I'm at a loss, to be honest. I've been trying my hardest to answer all of my husband's questions. I'm at the end of my spiritual rope here. I learn and read the bible, hungry for knowledge for not only myself but to help my husband understand. He's reading 'Mere Christianity' by C.S. Lewis right...

Most poisonous snakes will strike a man in the legs if he's unfortunate to walk by one. I believe that the quote you are referring to is how our relationship between the opposite sex is defined. As a man, do you know anything about women other than you have no idea what we are about? As a...

When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life. - John 8.12

Thank you for the welcome, and I have to admit the analogy made me smile. I've been doing a lot of reflecting on what I feel I'm supposed to do... and I know that it took Abraham and Sarah a while to be blessed with Isaac- even when God had promised them that they would have a son, it was years...
