Hey! I caught that about the fool or foolishness! (LOL) So is that part of the Muslim Bible? I know the scripture you are referring to, but I was directly quoting the Bible from Paul's writings. I wasn't trying to insult you. What it means is, some of this doesn't make sense to you because you...

I heard that story from my pastor a long time ago and I have never forgotten it. I hope it sticks with anyone who reads it too. Even a child can understand prayer explained like this:)

Thank you, JIP. Have a blessed weekend.

The Lord can give you a sound mind, Claire. It takes a while to restore something that's broken. Replace your stored messages of your past with the scriptures as much as you can. Claim those truths for your life. Don't look at the circumstances of your life or the world around you to judge if...

You covered your topic really well! It was so thoroughly done that you even mentioned the one about Job praying for his friends. That hit me one day as I was reading about him. When he forgave them for all of their bad advice, took his mind off of his very bad and very hard-to-deal with...

I heard a story told one time about an old farmer that always had a peaceful glow on his face and everyone knew him to be a man of prayer. They also knew him to be patient and that his prayers were answered. Two ol' boys decided to sneak by his window one night to hear what his prayers were...

Thanks:)"...pleasant words increase learning." Proverbs 16:21

I am going to pray with you right now. Father, in Jesus name, I come against this sin of satan! I ask you to deliver these girls from this atmosphere of drinking and bad influences. I ask for a Holy realm of Your Angels to be dispersed to protect them as we are agreeing on this right now. I...

Hey, Guys! You've got a great discussion going on! I've enjoyed reading your thoughts! Time really flies on this site! There are so many Christian topics to read about and so many things one could get involved in, but then we wouldn't have time to go to church (LOL)! I appreciate the honesty...

Ricky, I can understand your concern for Code_Red. We do the same with our fellow Christian brothers and sisters (or we should). You seem to truly believe what you say and want him/her (?) to believe also. Of course, it is hard to break a pattern of belief when we are taught something our...

Well, it seems like a lot of repetition going on, but no one is changing his/her mind. Christians who have weathered a lot of storms and have "aged in the faith gracefully" know that it does take time and patience to develop an even-keeled, confident, unshakable belief that cannot be disturbed...

Ricky, the thing about you asking about any Christian doctrine is, you are and should always get an answer backed up by the Bible. That is what we base our beliefs on. We came to Christ because we believed through hearing His Word (the Holy Scriptures) and we should never stray away from that...

Of course Paul wished that everyone would remain as he was, so as to be uninhibited to do the Lord's work. He was very intense. You'll get no argument out of me. My desire is, as I said, to make my marriage work. I will not condemn my brothers and sisters, though, if they have been through this...

These are some really good posts. They make you think. It is true that the believer is free from the marriage commitment if married to an unbeliever who wants out. What's tough is when you have a spouse who claims to be a believer, but there are hardly any fruits. In this case, most people opt...

LOL! I have done that before too. That's bad when a teacher doesn't read the instructions or read thoroughly! It can get you up to your eyeballs in alligators quick!

My former pastor gave a simple, but great definition of humility that seems to go along with this so well. It has stuck with me for years. He said, "Humility is not thinking too highly of yourself (obviously); nor is it thinking too lowly of yourself, as some may think. It's simply not thinking...

So, why was this question asked? Are you trying to witness to someone about this? Just wonderin'

Wow! I like your zeal for the Lord, Sealed Eternal. Please don't forget to mix in the love of the Lord too. This is an important balance, as Jesus did take time to do this so well. I am deeply touched every time I read about the woman caught in adultery that the town was going to stone. There...

What an exchange going on here! Although it's informative in some ways, I'd like to put in a friendly reminder. Let's look at James Ch. 3, verses 14-18, so we can put on our spiritual armor today. It says, "But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against...

I'm with you. I remember the exchange of conversation with him. He was so confused after reading the books about atheism. He basically thought faith in Christ was our own positive thinking and nothing more; us tricking ourselves. I will be praying for him as the Lord gives me remembrance.
