Well I'm glad you admit it. I go through the same sequence: anger, question why God allows it, and sometimes get hopping mad at God. I know about Psalm 73 - it has helped to carry me at times but sometimes it fails to comfort. That's why I wondered if I'm missing something somewhere. I...

Yes I have felt that something is on the horizon - we can see the storm clouds gathering.

I read a sermon one time that the most important task is the renewing of our minds. I looked for it awhile ago but it got lost in the "graveyard" of old sermons I had.

Some offenses are more easily forgiven than others.

My husband has that same faith in that specific area - I'm unsure exactly why I don't have faith in that area. Sometimes I do but I hate to see injustice - and I think that comes from God since we're told He's a God of justice. I'm wondering if I'm missing something somewhere. That's a good...

Sometimes Christians try to 'superspiritualize' and we sometimes make ourselves out to be more noble than we actually are. Even Christ "sweat great drops of blood" when He knew the suffering that was about to come. Peter was so afraid after seeing Christ taken away that he denied Christ three...

These last few years I've had to face overt corruption so that I've seen up close people who appear to be possessed. One incident felt like the Stepford Wives! I've encountered individuals who I suspected were wholly taken over by evil before but not as a group. Michael Snyder had an article...

The government has control of the public schools and is instilling ungodliness and humanistic philosophies - as well as socialism. I think that's where a lot of it is coming from. We had some good quality teachers yet we also had an elementary school librarian that a lot of parents thought was...

I saw that and I thought "here we go...now the persecution really starts..." I think we're seeing the writing on the wall.

I just had a prayer answered that I prayed for 15 long years - it was one of the hardest prayers that I beat on heaven's door for. I fasted repeatedly and prayed throughout the day many many many times. I 'prayed until I touched the throne.' I'm waiting on others and sometimes I don't know when...

I have a number of "thorns"! But what a beautiful poem.

I was badly injured and did not get a miraculous healing either. And I'm living in a time when the CDC is drastically cutting pain medication. I was up at 2 a.m. in severe pain and sometimes I say some things to God. But I go back because there is nowhere else to go. I look into alternative...

You've experienced this too? How did you resolve it with God/ your own walk?

Yes it is tough to pray for someone who cheats you - especially in egregious ways. It's hard to sustain that forgiveness I've found so sometimes I don't even try to forgive after an initial attempt - I let God do whatever work in me He's going to do. God can be maddening at times.

That's what I wrestle with - I've seen the Hand of God and I know He answers - yet at other times he makes us look on iniquity and we don't see the justice He promised or some other prayer goes unanswered. It really pulls at the soul at times.

You just can't recognize what is being done. Scripture says "the wise makes his way sure" - I don't think you've looked carefully into the issues or you would recognize what is happening. There is mass delusion taking place. You're being played by people with top military prowess. They know...

It hurts when leadership is led by the flesh - usually pride. I was younger in the Lord and what a rude awakening. Two of my family members were hurt in church and for the most part won't attend today. I wish that people knew how much harm they do "in the Name of the Lord." You're right...

OMG that's crazy. I never heard of anything like that in our area or in any churches we've gone to. We've had our church broken into and anything of value stolen but that's it.

Do you still foresee a thermonuclear war ahead? That's what Joel Skousen is saying. I didn't really think much about it but now I am - especially after reading that Clinton signed a specific law which is basically suicide where we're not to return nuclear power even if we have it dropped on us.

I'm still reading through Revelations and don't have enough of a foundation yet. I have never read any of the Maccabbees. I have already experienced quite a fair amount of persecution for the truth already/ from the evil one. I do see why Scripture speaks of men's hearts failing them because...
