Everything that matters for humans is splashed in this man. Do we care to look closely and inquiringly? or does our imagination use his...

    Does It Annoy You When Somebody Talks Too Much?

    justifying many words is like talking a lot about love....it has an appearance of wisdom but has no power to generate insight or love respectively.

    Does It Annoy You When Somebody Talks Too Much?

    Does It Annoy You When Somebody Talks Too Much?

    Out of interest, I stay away from church because the people are nice. They are so nice they won't engage questions which they perceive challenge them. Everyone is friendly and smiley yet why do I get the feeling that there is no realness? The sermons are nice but no interest is shown in speaking...

    The Lord's Discipline Fulfills His Purpose

    Thank you for your testimony Fluffy. The sentiment that one feels sent of God to teach is overwhelmingly common in religious circles. We see plenty of examples on this site.

    “I asked the angel why there was no more faith and power in Israel. He said, “Ye let go of the arm of the Lord too soon. Press your petitions to the throne, and hold on by strong faith. The promises are sure. Believe ye receive the things ye ask for, and ye shall have them.” I was then pointed...
