Shouldn't we be practicing "lent" throughout the year? Is there anything biblical about the ashes, other than ashes to ashes and dust to dust?...I know it is mans "tradition" but is it a biblical principle?

Makes all the difference. Why hurry up to the next red light? It makes one look kind of foolish when the one NOT speeding coasts past you as you are stopped at the light that just turned green. lol. Hey, ya never know...if we are patient, even though it might be a bit frustrating at...

Yes. It seems so impersonal when someone is surrounded by a big hunk of metal...road ragers act as if the person is not even a human being! Sad stuff. One of my brothers is a bit of a hot head behind the wheel. I told him I would not drive with him anymore after a particularly harrowing...

You got that right. Way too many Christians do not know or don't understand (is seems) the "kind" of love Christ is speaking of... Agape! Sacrificial, no matter how small the act...letting somebody cut in front of you waiting in traffic. Being kind and thoughtful of those around you, letting...

JMHO here but, how can a worldly view EVER discern the things of the Spirit?? It is impossible. They are in opposition to one another.

Totally agreed @APAK , I really do find more fellowship and growth on Christian forums...and this is my number one forum. I feel myself pulling away from all these organized "church's"...How awesome would it be to gather in our homes for worship and learning as a rule. I know these places do...

I'm with you here. Satan has changed so much good into evil. Even those who have their tongue forked, putting buds under their foreheads to look like horns, the extreme tattooing...anything to bring humans further from the image of God. I so wish people would wake up.

You said it Mister!!! Hahaha. Love how He looks to the heart...and what, may I ask is your other God given talent? An instrument? That would include a voice ;) "Sing to him a new song; play skillfully on the strings, with loud shouts." Psalm 33:3

I know allot of scriptures but, not so good at their 'addresses' either, so to speak, lol. I, personally, try not to equate The Holy Spirit of The Living God with human "feelings". Feelings can be deceiving as well as confusing for some. Not to mention how they waver! Not to say that how God...

Amen.

Yes, very true. At the one Church I keep my eyes closed as the lights are blinding sometimes. I do like allot of the songs...ah, maybe I am just an old soul, lol....in a really young body :D Would love for our group to do A Capella.

I am torn between 2 places of worship. Both Church's have awesome, biblical messages. No fluff but. I so love the reverential worship at the one Church but not so much the other. The other is like a secular concert. Tough one, huh? lol. So, anyhow, at the one Church that I love the worship...

They sure did. No lights, smoke and distractions...pure worship.

I knew what you meant except I was thinking it was a military or law enforcement acronym :oops: lol. Thank you, my Christian family's prayers on here mean more than one can know.

Lol...so we get sidetracked now and then. Meh. Me too Helen, I believed in the whisked away theory for a long time and told anyone who would listen. I am in a much different place than I was back then...bottom line is IMHO-PREPAREDNESS, either way, keep watch and have our faith built up as...

Ty FH.

Actually, the nurse and the social worker will (are supposed to be) coming here to access the situation tomorrow. Either way, God WILL open that door soon. You know I love your prayers, thank you, thank you, thank you!!! ❤ Her dog will most likely be staying here lol. It will be worth it...

My awesomely sweet Grandmother was a very devout Catholic. She played the organ for almost 40 years at a large Catholic Church in my area. I used to sit up there in the balcony as a child allot and suck on her black fisherman's lozenges, lol. That woman never exhibited anything BUT the fruits...

Ah yes, but NOTHING is impossible with God. Our faith can wane, or it can stagnate or grow stronger. One of the scriptures I used to use in my head allot is "God, I believe, help my unbelief" Mark 9:24. I was a pew warmer for over 4 years in the 90's. Just didn't get it...went back into...
