Well, I'd love to be a fly on the wall if/when you and he chat :D

I can understand the frustration. Seems many pastors are afraid to give it straight up as it might cause less Church attendance and, I never understood that. It is like some of them are not trusting God for the provisions to their Church's. And, IMO - that is why the West is so lukewarm...if...

Figured I would start there as there are things I want to know, learn. To be open to seeing His Word in other ways rather than always holding onto what I learned in the past, and just assumed His Grace was unmerited favor. Thanks for the info and I will let you know what I learn. Ty!

Amen Sir John! God is JUST, not necessarily fair as we know it.

:D

Oh how kind you are to say! Ty. Yes, I imagine going door to door would be quite challenging (especially big hairy guys with wife beaters on :D )...I will give the J.W.'s kudos for there door to door thing but...it's not how I myself see evangelizing. Jesus puts all kinds of folk in our path...

Okay, I am subscribed to the Newsletters and E-books although I too prefer the actual paper books, and did order one titled The Mystery of Grace. Ty CL.

Thank you, checking it out now...

Ah, you caught that too ;)

Lol, it's not a problem John, as they all seem to go off track at one time or another :)

Hi CadyandZoe, It is very hard to approach the lost, and can turn them even further away. I used to hand out tracks but, that is a total waste as they end up littering the ground. Here's a saying of St. Francis of Assisi, and no...not Catholic. "Preach Jesus, and if necessary use words."...

Jesus sure did raise the bar on that mount, didn't He? So, the bible study shut you down, and no brother or sister to stand up for your right to speak. Yes, shake the dust off. It's pretty relieving to know those thoughts that can flit are not mine...I did wonder if Satan was the culprit but...

We'll give you 5 cents for that :D I never do remember any Church encouraging us to do that, at least not during services...where it is needed most! Being a very fast, high energy that cannot be spent...I can be a restless sort lol. BUT...now that the weather is much nicer...time to go to the...

Thanks Angelina, that was encouraging :) Either way, God's will is always the best anyhow... xo

Okay, so if a Christian say, stubs their toe and a curse word comes out...veniel? Also, if a person denies doing really horrid stuff to you, and is avoiding you...can't forgive them face to face, nor can we forgive them if they do not own up to what they have done...I'm speaking of...

Happiness is an emotion in which we "experience feelings ranging from contentment and satisfaction to bliss and intense pleasure," whereas joy "is a stronger, less common feeling than happiness." We experience joy when we achieve selflessness to the point of personal sacrifice.

Same here @Helen and, of course I always say "in your name Jesus may Gods will be done" at the end. Think of the widow and the unjust judge here as, she kept coming back over and over until she received her answer so...I'm totally with you on this one. If God's will that Willie be healed then...

"Consider the ant..." :D

God never promised us "happiness", He promised us joy! Joy through all kinds of trials. I must say, you have swallowed this false gospel hook, line and sinker. I will pray for you to see the truth. God Bless

For sure, he removed our sins once for all, never to be remembered again: "For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more." Hebrews 8:12 "As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us."...
