I feel like most of what we think of as love is very transactional. As in, you do something good for me, so I treat you well. But I didn't deserve to come to Jesus after my attitude towards Christianity. I didn't do anything for Him. Love like that is hard, I think, to understand.

Ephesians 3:17-19 17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be...

I used to not recognize the fruit of the spirit in my life. It made me doubt if I was saved. I don't think doubting your salvation is always this horrible thing. It can help you adjust your walk with the Lord. The Bible says we should examine ourselves to see if were truly in the faith. I see...

I do remember Tammy. Praying now.

No. I had one as a kid. I think dogs are so loyal and happy.

I have no intention on arguing back and forth about this. Im grateful I can say what I came to say and move on. This is not a topic I can keep a cool head about. Its not cute, nor is it funny to me.

Abortion is murder. It is not about choice. The unborn baby doesn't get one. It is not healthcare. The abortion industry only cares about making a profit, not about what is safe and healthy for women. Many women do not know that their abortions could lead to them not being able to have...

I don't have a favorite but I love dogs!

I don't. Does this work?

Thank you for sharing this. This is important. I like the articles too.

No, it makes sense. Planning for death is wise.

@Johann Pap reminds me of grits!! Pap en vleis looks delicious!!

I myself have only grown less sure about the nature of the Godhead as time goes on. Hopefully no one sends a hitman for me.

Yeah I just learned about the boerewors yesterday. Have never heard of pap or vleis. I will google it! I enjoy spicy food.

Maybe impersonal vessel isn't right. I don't think the Spirit is flesh and blood like we are. But I do think the Spirit is personal in that He feels emotions like we do.

I see you, brother. I see you being Godly. Greetings from the southeastern U.S. I was talking to a sister from South Africa the other day. I talked her ear off, wanting to learn more about the country. Do you speak Afrikaans or any other languages? I heard there are 11 official languages. I...

If the Spirit is an impersonal vessel, how come the Bible says we can grieve the Spirit (Ephesians 4:30)? We can make the Spirit jealous (James 4:5). The Spirit groans and intercedes for us(Romans 8:26). Thats also a good verse to examine. 26 Likewise the Spirit also helps in our...

I love that verse! Life changing. I invoke the name of Jesus because His name can shift the atmosphere and change the direction of a conversation. I choose gentleness and a soft answer because God is at hand. I've seen you take the higher road in many a conversation, @marks . Forbearance, or...

God is doing great things. Let the Holy Spirit take over these forums. Let the enemies plans for strife and bickering fail as we give way to the love and compassion of God. Already, there has been a shift. Prayer is powerful. Ill continue to pray that the culture here would be pleasing to the...
