A whole lot! :) I am SO thankful to the Lord for all that He has done and is doing for me!

Fivesense, I was working on a response, but I believe the Lord is leading me in different direction today... I want to share something with you: The word "alienated" speaks for itself, but just to be sure, I looked up the Greek meanings (some of which are): "away, foreign, separation." This...

I know I'm a bit late in getting to this one, but I wanted to respond anyway... Nyoka -- I totally agree. When James says "Faith without works is dead," he is saying that our actions show our faith. It's just like the saying, "Actions speak louder than words." That's why James said, "But...

fassopony, Diddo what Brother Mike said -- great advice! ;) I guess my question would be, "Did you believe that God wanted you to start the business in the first place?" If yes, than, you don't have to question it just because things aren't going smoothly. If you weren't sure, well, God...

Ha, ha! Very funny... Tell ya what: you want the notes, check out the Bible! ;) Actually, my mother calls me a person of many words! LOL! Has anyone heard from Miss Hepburn yet? I do hope she comes back...

I can see why you would say that your tired of Christians; unfortunately, many Christians today do a horrible job at representing Christ -- there are so many factions, and everyone claims that his way, his interpretation of the Bible and what it means to be a Christian, is right. It can make one...

I'm not a song writer, either, but I have a few ideas for you... This Scripture that you quoted from James reminded me of Psalm 68:5 -- "A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation." Then Psalm 146:9 says, "The LORD watches over the strangers; He...

If it makes you all feel any better, I'll be praying for ForYou (Duke), too. :pray3: I agree with followerofchrist that we shouldn't give up hope. NO ONE is a lost cause -- people can change by the power of God and His conviction. NOTHING is too hard for God! Just keep praying for him, and don't...

A few other things I was thinking of...Have you talked to your pastor about your situation? Maybe he could get the church to take up an offering or collect donations for you. Does your church have a food pantry or clothing donations? My uncle was unemployed for a while, and he has a wife and...

(Tomorrowschild;55084) Hello, I'm going through a really rough patch at the moment and would really appreciate prayer. I am a commited Christian...have been for over 10 years and am on my church leadership team - not that you'd guess that from my pathetic moan:I am unemployed, I have been...

I'll be praying for you, truth_seeker. I struggle with the emotional aspect, too, so I know a little bit of what it feels like. I'll be praying for you. :pray4:Just remember that you have great value to God. You are SO special, regardless of where you've been or what you've done, or even what...

(manichunter;53279) How can a person get to know God? Is God known through Scripture? Does study increase our intimate personal knowledge with God. Can I know Him through my intellect by coming to understand Him?Is God known through prayer? Does praying give us the means to more of God...

(Nyoka;53539) God's idea of love is to put the other person first before yourself. It is always thinking of and looking out for the best interests and well being of the other person. It is not like man's love where we say we love someone but our love is conditional on them behaving right or...
