Similar then perhaps to that is his-story [history] by which men supposedly record happenings in the past for those in the current day or in the future to read. How accurate are those written histories? How true are they? Does it not depend upon the both the sincerity of the heart of the...

Amen!

Thank you for the correction. I edited my post accordingly.

Aye, it was really so many years ago [1964-1965 for me], but many of the experiences there seem like only yesterday. Amen! Give God the glory old friend!

How is it that people fail to understand the parables of Jesus? Mt 13:10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? Mt 13:11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it...

I believe that it does. We always have two choices: For God or for ourselves. When we quench the Spirit, the Holy Spirit that is, we are limiting God. He does not want people to do that, but they do it nevertheless altogether too often. At what point would it become an unpardonable sin? You may...

Don't be afraid! Trust always in the One who can do what man cannot: Mr 10:26 And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved? Mr 10:27 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are...

I am really coming back from the chemotherapy now. I can walk a ways and the shortness of breath will always be with part of one lung missing... but with God's help I am moving up.

@APAK Good, but unlikely to survive moderator scrutiny...

@Keturah Lots of bells of memory ringing in this old head. I remember as an 8th grader [1956-1957] being told about Elvis Presley for the first time by another student. Before that the only music I knew much about was whatever we sang at school or by listening to my mother's collection of vinyl...

What a mighty God we serve:

@MatthewG And should we not then stop our ways, the ways of men, which when followed lead to sin yet again.? How can we do this? Should we just sit back and [apparently] wait for our last breath as a mortal man, or should we seek first His kingdom and righteousness expecting Him to add to us...

Doing well in the Lord indeed! Thank you.

To whom is it that we belong? Do we belong to ourselves or the One who formed us and gave us a choice. Jos 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood... but...

@WalterandDebbie The shadow and the Reality! Thank you for sharing one more time... Give God the glory!

Truly in Ecclesiastes, Solomon describes the ways of the flesh, the vain ways in which a carnal man walks and the apparent lack of purpose in that walk. At the end of the book, however, he writes this: Ec 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his...

Do people ever rebel against God as He tries to work on them to complete His work on them?

More than one has already answered you on this. The key is that we are really to be communicating with God. In our conversations with people we may repeat things to clarify for emphasis. It does need to come from our heart. No sense trying to fool God. He already knows our hearts, but He does...

@MatthewG If a long prayer consists of vain and/or idle words it is missing the point of praying, of even controlling our tongue: Mt 12:36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. Jas 1:26 If any man among...

How does one ever overcome the flesh and the ways of the flesh? Alone it is impossible, so ask for help from someone for whom it is possible: Mr 10:27 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible. Mt 7:7 Ask, and...
