I don't call myself a Baptist, even though I attend a Baptist church. I had a winding path to get where I'm at. I was raised Catholic, and tried Pentecostal churches, Reformed Presbyterian, Methodist, a number of independent churches, and finally wound up in a Baptist church. I don't think it...

That's powerful! I love hearing things that happen that way. I wonder if there is some way to develop that so that one has those events happen more often.

It's good to learn how other believers handle this. I'm looking for a resource for my children but also for myself. I'm dealing with a weighty decision of my own right now and nothing has come clear yet. I hope you hear from God:)

I saw that book on Amazon. Did it help you? There are so many books to choose from. I was leaning towards one book when a pastor put his review of the book written by another pastor. He said that the book "Draw circles around your prayers" (or something like that) was unscriptural. When I...

Can you say how you hear from Him? Do you listen for a quiet voice?

That's what I'm looking to develop. I had that same thing happen twice and I wish it happened more. I was outside talking to a neighbor when one of my children was asleep. I had something lightly cross my mind that I'd better go check on her. When I went inside, she had gotten into a box of...

You hear from God by expecting to hear? I've had uncanny times of sensing God very close, but I'm trying to hear and it doesn't always happen and my way isn't always clear about what direction to go in. I started out looking for a book on using your instincts in business for one of my...

It is a complicated topic. I'm finding out it is much more than just forgiving. I wish we had been wiser earlier - we learned not to trust everyone who says "Lord! Lord!" When you look at it - the apostles faced the perils of false brethren. David prayed the imprecatory psalms. It's hard...

I've been searching on Amazon for a book to help my adult children hear from God. I've experienced uncanny times when I've woken up in the middle of the night and knew God wanted me to pray, and another time bumped into a Christian neighbor who recommended a book that was exactly what I needed...

I've seen that happen. Other times I haven't seen it happen.

Yes - no one ever said it would be easy. "Indeed all who will live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution." Tim. I've found that verse to be true.

If you want to get the last word in then have at it. It must fill some need in you to be proven right. Go ahead. Knock yourself out. After that ask God if there isn't some prideful need there. I'm done for the day. I'll pray for you Willie.

Thanks. I know what Scripture teaches. Sometimes it's a hard road. But I don't want to be on any other. It's just hard.

We weren't wise enough back then to know what to do. The old German saying proves true: We are too soon old and too late wise. My husband goes to church now, but he's more jaded - skeptical - but rightly so. We no longer accept when someone tells us they're a Christian - we are more careful...

Yes I know. I has been a struggle - I find it hard to forgive evil such as that when I feel someone hasn't been held accountable.

Willie - stop fixating on that one video. What your'e doing is not emotionally healthy. I am not claiming that that one video is not doctored - I said that when I posted the video I learned from the accompanying article that the cop was fired. If you stop FIXATING you'll see that there are...

That's your opinion Willie. I don't share it. The woman was obviously beaten in the face by the cop, and he broke her teeth. HE WAS FIRED. I'm not sure if this is the right video but the city obviously felt the video wasn't doctored. Philly cop who punched woman in the face suspended — and...

I asked my husband's opinion and he told me if you refuse to accept that there are good cops but also bad cops then you're a fool. And his brother is a cop. A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion. - Proverbs 18:12
