Because it's the enemy causing your problems, not God, and when you praise God and thank Him for EVERYTHING it neutralises the enemy. Some Homework For You: Rom 5:1-8 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, (2) through...

If you put God's blessings first every day and praise Him regardless of your problems it will improve your quality of life. What a friend we have in Jesus.

Formality, pageantry, and ritual does pass for reverence in some quarters, as does silence among Quakers, and raising hands, vocalising, and clapping in some evangelical gatherings.

Deprivation is a predator that Christians can evade. Rather than catastrophising about the lack of prosperity, Habakkuk trusts God to help him rise above the unfortunate circumstances that might otherwise overwhelm him. Jesus also taught to seek His Kingdom before all else, The Apostle Paul...

Imagine this in someone's eye . . .

Hi @muslimhastamstudy I hope you will reflect on a very important aspect of the offering up of Isaac by Abraham, namely that God provided a ram so that Isaac could go free. The parallel to this is that God provided His Son Jesus Christ to be sacrificed in atonement for our sin so that we...

I'd be more concerned about the consequences of ignoring this Scripture: Col 2:16-17 So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths, (17) which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ.

I already know that one. We got an SDA comic in the letterbox that ranted about the mark of the beast being the observance of Sunday worship. Fortunately for those who rest in Christ, He is their Sabbath. Heb 8:6-7 But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also...

You list as Christian, so why does Christian Education not appeal to you?

I have to chuckle. The In-person Bible Study Groups I have attended in recent years mostly use Smartphones all the way through to access everything from Scriptures, commentaries, websites, videos, hymns, and sermons, to fact-checking and nit-picking searches. Using Chatbots in a Bible Study...

What do you think of Christians who don't observe the Saturday Sabbath?

I've always liked the Good Shepherd image and the concept of Christ as personally caring for His flock, knowing each of us by name. Joh 10:2-5 But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. (3) To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep...

Genuine repentance is always evidence of God at work, by whatever means He chooses. 2Ti 2:24-26 And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient, (25) in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will grant them repentance, so that...

Hi @MatthewG Knowing that our sins have been forgiven is one thing, applying that to our lives is another. Christ is the author and finisher of our faith, and faith without works is dead, so ongoing repentance of sin is essential to a living faith. "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" is a...

Knowing that the goodness of God leads a person to repentance should result in them appreciating His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering. Rom 2:4 Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?

The dimension of DIVINE FOREKNOWLEDGE is featured throughout the Bible, particularly in the writings of the Prophets. Obviously the things prophesied hadn't yet happened in real time but their eventualities were known before hand, these being the result of the Will of God intersecting with the...

The whole Bible is relevant to you and to every thought, word, and deed of everyone in Creation. Don't be faint of heart.

Don't let Satan snatch the Word of God away from you. More for your edification: Heb 4:9-16 There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. (10) For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His. (11) Let us therefore be diligent to enter that...

Anxiety is not king. It cannot rule unless it is allowed to. Php 4:6-9 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. (7) And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in...
