    Son having heart surgery today.

    I tell you Nancy, I love kids, and seeing teens of all walks of life talking TO (not At, not About) each other, serious, playing, joking, was great. Out of curiosity, I did a head counts and there were over 100 teens at different times making vollyball teams, playing slip and slide, carving...

    Son having heart surgery today.

    Recent update on son. Last evening he had some frustration with position and pain and that was finally resolved and he got some overnight rest. He is now out of bed, sitting in a chair and waiting to be moved out of ICU, to a regular room for a few days before discharge. He thinking maybe a week...

    Son having heart surgery today.

    We were never much of a “TV” family and “kids” secluded off in their own bedrooms, but more so sit an talk for hours about God, Politics, Interests, Desires. And often the kids friends (popular, outcasts, jocks, hoods, punks) would show up and be included. I think the biggest lesson the kids...

    LOOKING FOR ISAIAH

    There are those who are “stubborn”, called by God “stiffnecked”, when they can not believe by Hearing and then Seeing what is foretold come to pass. John 12: [37] But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him: [38] That the saying of Esaias the prophet might...

    Son having heart surgery today.

    @Lambano, @amadeus, @Nancy, @Helen thank you all. Surgery a success. Son is in ICU being monitored and plan is for a few (three) days in hospital then release. Surprising for short hospital stay, but had a fairly new technique performed of no breaking of sternum or any bones, rather surgery...

    What Makes Ex-Christians Think They Once Were Christians?

    Yes. There are many who follow, who believe, who enjoy Gods Blessings, who praise Him… And then get side-tracked, with money issues, debt, entertainment, family, job worries, governing worries, illnesses, etc. and they begin to pray for, plead for, edging on ultimatum for an instant intervention...

    What Makes Ex-Christians Think They Once Were Christians?

    You have a person being Converted AND thus Soul Saved, “falling away”. Believers, Followers CAN fall away. THEY are NOT committed. THEY have NOT yielded to Gods Power. THEY are still directed by their Own Power. The Converted IN Christ, CAN NOT fall away. They ARE committed. They HAVE...

    What Makes Ex-Christians Think They Once Were Christians?

    A partaker of the Holy Spirit, is a person who has or is receiving a blessing from God. (Because of Gods Grace). People who receive blessings from God ARE: 1) Unknowing…(non-believers, who have not yet heard) 2) Atheists….(have heard but are non-believers) 3) Believers…(in God) 4)...

    Are you Born again? Then here you are.

    Are you Born again? Then here you are. OP ^ Converted IN Christ (ie Born Again?) Yes. Perfect IN my flesh? No Perfected IN Christ? Yes Jesus came IN the Likeness as a man to teach men HOW TO become in His Likeness; Good, Righteous, Holy, With God Forever. Glory to God, Taken

    Gen 1: [26] And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. Dominion…Authority...

    climate change and end times

    God controls the weather. Greedy men look for any underhanded means to frighten men into giving “them” a mans wealth under the guise of safety. For over a hundred years scientists have predicted…a coming ice age, pollution fostering an ice age. A coming heat age, pollution fostering global...

    LOOKING FOR NEHEMIAH

    A converted man is “prepared” to do “works” that glorify God….as in…What we Have, Do, Share, Give….IS all possible; BECAUSE OF Him! And when we Acknowledge THAT, We Glorify Him. Individuals and power sitters have deflected from that perspective proudly back-patting themselves for credit due...

    What you've become in Christ... is not a work you do.

    What you've become in Christ... is not a work you do. OP ^ Correct. A mans WORK is Belief. A mans SERVICE is Heartfully Confessing his Belief and in Truth Laying down his bodily LIFE unto the Lord God, as a once and forever Testimony of his Belief. God does the WORKS of “changing” that man...

    LOOKING FOR NEHEMIAH

    Correct. It’s arrogance. Gods Glory IS His “supreme” POWER. It’s an Oddity of sorts. God “gives” His Glory to “no one”. YET; His Glory He has offered “can be WITH a man”. And man WITH Gods Glory, is “supposed” to be a “reflection” of Gods Glory, “Spirit, power, light, goodness”. It is...
