Well, to start-He is "so good" that He has not wiped you and me off the planet just because we are sinners. That is the only thing God will not abide-sin. The things he tells us to do or to avoid are ALWAYS in OUR best interests...not like the fathers of this world as they discipline as THEY...

"I think it's because they tried so hard to please God, most of them held on to him for dear life. " And, therein lies the crux of the problem. There is NO pleasing God without His son. There will be a slew of "good people" "kind, understanding" people who will be separated from the Creator...

I have not mentioned "religion". Truth is what I sought, no matter what that truth brought...it is ALL I wanted. Sincerely searching for truth will bring it to you. We cannot create our own God. Well, you can do that but, it does not make it truth. If truth is TRULY what you are looking...

Wonderful post! "Worship is a surrendered life. Worship is a recognition that God is alone worthy to rule and reign in the life. Worship is a state of being where one is completely submitted to the Holy Spirit." <----In a nutshell.

Not so...there is true saving grace from the heart that WILL bring forth His fruit, not yours. With myself, it was all in the submission, things I was holding onto and refusing to give to Him, as I said, I didn't believe His grace was sufficient...It is not possible to be in Spirit with the...

Yes indeed...I say it IS a word, and only could pertain to The God Of The Universe. Although, His patience, tho loooong suffering, will last only so long...

Hahaha...it is quite easy to keep it too (;

Eh, is what it is, I have grown a thicker skin since being on here, lol! You're so kind and thoughtful... :)

Very well put. I know a few Christians who just sit there wondering WHY God did or did not do something FOR them, complaints rather than gratitude. They are miserable and want everything to happen just as they had planned in their heads. Sorry but, I would MUCH rather God direct my plans and...

Ha! Yes, many boneheads and pew warmers out there, lol. It did NOT "work" for me 20 years ago but, back then, I did not BELIEVE His grace was sufficient for my particular, sin. I did not BELIEVE what certain boneheads were telling me. Fast forward not too many years back, it is all different...

The bible sure does promises us many trials and tribs. It also gives us everything we need to live IN this world an to be conquerors, overcomers in His strength. I used to think this all bunk when "going through the motions" in the 1990's , but now, as a Christian I have grown enough to...

Bad wording on my part, I certainly did not mean to say the bible says that! Just talking about this age and how the world views good and bad...backwards..

Good script verse to hang onto!

Lol Grams...we will let you know :D

I should have reread and reworded that. Sry.

"psychobabble"?? Isaiah 5:20 "Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!" Many other scriptures pertaining to this, I'm sure you know them.

These bodies were never meant to last for long, no matter how health conscience one might be.

It's not so much that I am seeking benevolence here, just trying now to reconcile His goodness to the scriptures you just reminded me of! lol. Yes, the way "charity" is looked upon today is pretty skewed, just like everything God made "very good". The bible says in the latter days that men...

Don't forget...in the car too :cool:

Why, since you asked Grams :) It was.....to never again make a NY resolution! And, I never did! LOL
