Wow, Rita! That is wonderful! You must be so pleased that your son came to faith!

I knew I wanted my husband to feel comfortable there and respect the leadership. So for us, that meant a church that believes in spiritual gifts like speaking in tongues. I'm less picky, but he picks up on things I normally would not. It took us a couple years to find our church. The pastor...

You should have good fortune in finding friends. I will pray for this to happen. You sound exactly like my husband down to each detail. Like, ya'll would hit it off instantly. Especially if you like serious debates and analytical discussions. I don't know if I myself am who you're looking for...

I just wanted to share something Im thinking about when it comes to forums and online communities. I think it's wonderful that Christians have places to gather online but I feel like I am starting to see a golden opportunity by stepping out of my comfort zone to secular sites. One website in...

A lot of people disagree about whether Romans 7 is about the struggle of Paul as a nonbeliever or as a believer. I believe that the struggle was of Paul before recieving Christ as Saviour. He would have had exposure to the Law of Moses prior to his conversion. As for the security of the...

I've been trying to put into words why for so long I struggled and the above quote described me, but now it's different. I would struggle and struggle, fail, and fail. But I kept getting back up and God has given me grace to overcome temptation. There's a sense in which my mind became...

A lot of people balk at a person claiming to be even remotely sinless. But is this a good reaction? Shouldn't we be happy for them at least that they aren't in bondage? Sin is bondage. Sin was such a huge factor for me to deal with for so long. But I never felt comfortable. It was such a...

There is a popular movement among social media influencers, even Christian ones, promoting Self love. Self love is talked about as the solution and antidote to self-hatred, body image insecurities, and low confidence. However, I noticed that often, in the next breath, these influencers...

I just wanted to say I appreciate this. Someone might accuse me of saying Im sinless now. I am not. But there has been a point I call "sin management" where sin still dominated me and now sin no longer seems to dominate like it used to. You get to the place where those same temptations don't...

Praise God! Im glad you're feeling better!

Will pray for you, Avianna Don't give up hope, as God is able take the evil that was done to you and produce good out of it. I'm reminded of the biblical story of Joseph, who's brothers sold into slavery. Later, he got a vision that would save those same brothers and everone from a severe...

Just be careful. I have had ominous premonitions that turned out like this. A) It was actually a demon or Satan speaking that and God's will was not for that bad thing to happen. B) It was something that I came up with based on events that were occuring at the time. C) God gave me the bad...

I'm thankful for my husband because he is a great counterbalance to how I operate. I appreciate his masculine perspective, how hardworking he is, and our discussions that go on for hours at a time. Im of course thankful for the Lord Jesus, who I can worship and relate to personally. He really...

Praying now

You bring up some good points. My husband and I had a conversation about the way we pray and how we each could do better about simply talking to God about any and everything.

Warm and sunny. Greetings from North Carolina. A nice 59 degrees out.

Thank you Fluffy. I enjoy your posts too!

I do love those lyrics!

Its like the whale was simply curious!
