You seek knowledge? I prefer wisdom but above all understanding. I was 19 and a long way from home. Middle of the Gulf of Mexico on an oil rig. Leaving my wife and infant son for weeks at a time to make enough money to survive. I was scared and alone. I picked up a bible somewhere on my journey...

No worries. Praying without ceasing, living thankfully, and mediating on God and His will is the plan for my foreseeable future. Back to the OP: do you have a hindrance or difficulty?

Daily or once for good?

I would like to feel the love and compassion for all others that Jesus has.

Sure feel bad that I hijacked your thread yesterday. Great OP. I should’ve created my own in testimony section and let yours get the attention it deserved. My apologies. I will delete if you like and repost elsewhere.

Another great one Not me. Coming to expect no less from you! Im sorry if the below does not fit in this thread as the OP speaks to seeing, hearing, and turning to God personally. But what a blessing it is to be afforded the privilege to seeing it happen to someone else. What a mighty God we...

Thank you. Very kind and much appreciated words.

Nice Not Me. Very well put. I deleted after I re read his/her post because I cannot tell whether the poster is speaking of their self or hypothetically.? Either way you have done a better job and hopefully the poster will come back clear this up and continue discussing.

This describes pretty well how I feel as well. Many times I write out a long post only to delete it because the other poster is so dogmatic and willing to seemingly die wrong rather than research what I have to say. It’s rare that anyone is open to change on these forums anymore. And obviously...

bbyrd questions everything. Always has as long as I’ve been reading his posts. I even tried agreeing with him a few times and he found a way to question that! Seriously. He went for some time entrenched in heated exchanges and I never seen him get offended no matter how nasty and personal the...

Just pay your tithes, ok bro?

Amen, very good. I prefer the company (assembly) of other Christians. Yet God is in control and I will do and go where He chooses. Paul taught in churches, on the street, in the woods, prison, and in his home. Act 28:30 And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all...

Not everyone can walk the streets and minister to those in need. But to resort to only setting in pews with those that already know God and claim that is your calling is missing it, to me. We were not called by God for ourselves. And that seems to be a nugget lost in today’s churches. When it...

No I meant the “ forsake not the assembling...”

This has probably already been asked, but: How do Christians in N Korea, Afghanistan, or the many other countries that don’t allow corporate Christian worship assemble themselves together? Does the verse just get thrown out? Or do we view the verse differently because we are free to worship how...

I am amazed at just how often I have an opportunity to assemble with other Christians yet I rarely attend meetings held in a building dedicated to be a church. Every single day and almost every second of the day. I wouldn’t know any other life anymore. Praise God. Church doesn’t end for us...

Well, when they back off some of these crazy proposals in the near future they can boast that they are compromising and sneak some of this garbage through. Wow, I thought I was over being shocked by politics. Next level stuff here.

Should show up on your profile page. Shows incoming messages. Mine say “start conversation” rather than “send message”. You have the ability to toggle messages on/off I believe. Although as far as I know I have never turned mine off.
