"They take everything." While shopping for groceries today, I needed some assistance in the fruits/veggies section. No one was on the floor, so I walked to the back room in search of an employee. A man in broken English asked what I wanted. I told him and he escorted me to the sweet oranges. I...

The Word is life, and just like a neck can be choked of its vitality, so can the ability to provide benefit be strangled from the Word. Mark 4:19 , “ And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh...

I wrote of various proportions of faith in my last post. Let’s take one of them and consider it more closely, “Oh ye of little faith”. (Matt. 6:25-34) The needs that Jesus spoke about in his address here are food, drink, and raiment. He knew the people wrestled with acquiring these things...

I am planning to add more from my notebooks regarding faith, with the hope that a more balanced view of the principle will arise from my writing. May that most misleading false teaching not be all that is heard. I would like to offer readers a chance to understand the principle of faith in God...

I oftentimes want to keep away from any mention of faith because of the abuse it has caused within the body of Christ. But, since it is the second of the six foundational principles listed in Hebrews 6, this important truth must be laid in order for a believer to go on to perfection or...

All Christians have been given some faith. But we can fool ourselves regarding the quantity and quality of faith we have. I have especially seen this in young believers who get a little revelation and take off with it like they have it immediately walked out and written in their hearts. I...

Despite all that is being thrown at the church today regarding the acquiring of material things, our seeking is not to be for that which we eat, put on, or intend to consume upon our lusts. (Matt. 6:19-20; James 4:3) Not surprisingly, without a watch on our attitudes, even the best worldly...

"Wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times" (Isa. 33:6)

________________________________________ Our walks seem to have so many similarities, Nancy. I was saved in '72 and was immediately thrust into the prevailing Jesus Movement of those days, meeting in homes with young people, some of whom felt they were called to be leaders, followed by...

Absolutely, 101G. Those verses you brought out, I could have added, and should have, since it is important to show the steps in growth, which one can easily see in the later epistles as John mentions babes, young men and fathers. A person cannot rise above the level of a novice unless there is...

One night per week bible studies are a good start, Pearl. It would be my recommendation that attendance to it would include extensive notes that you take home and study over and over repetitively, because it is by rote that we begin to memorize Scripture. Also, search out that topic throughout...

Once a person sees his/her need to study with the help of God’s Spirit and well established, well balanced teachers, what is it they should be taught? The Bible explains that it is not enough to merely be taught, but rather, the believer needs to be taught something very definite. II Timothy...

The body of Christ, presently, is undergoing lots of problems, even though their leadership act bewildered when they are approached by journalists who ask nondenoms and evangelicals alike about their wealth and lifestyles. The Southern Baptist Convention is now another group to have committed...

"Something that has stayed on my mind after viewing "The Letters" is the Mother's confession that during all the many hours, days and years she put into prayer not once did Jesus come to her side, to give her aid, or touch her spiritually. Her time was likened to wasted effort, and she simply...

Okay, "whew" ( @Bobby Jo :D ) What YOU read and have read truly pales my own. I am FAR from a scholar, lol. I would so love to be well read more so than I am but, my only interests in reading anymore, lies in the things of God. I believe that His Word has many, many hidden pearls within. He...

I like Jodi Picoult books, most especially "My Sisters Keeper"...wow and awesome. Her writing is based on things that DO happen and she gives her dialog as coming from each character in each chapter, their views and thoughts, that is. I have one Picoult book on my shelf entitled Plain Truth...

Art Garfunkel leans toward Buddhism. My sister joined the Air Force, worked with those huge computers from that period. I refused the reserves. Sometimes I wish I had remained in the Navy for the retirement checks and base benefits; but then, most the the lifers who were hired by the VA...

Well, it would be nice to see what you have in your studies. Some of us on here DO like to learn, lol. I am a reader myself. I prefer it over TV any day! Although, I have been going through a dry spell lately. It's funny as I thought, I will NEVER be bored during retirement because I got so...
