    When to give up on someone?

    I'd have to be honest and say I've never really been certain as to whether I understand that passage. It seems to me that it says we should not pray that God would forgive the unpardonable sin in someone else. And I don't know whether it's directly related to what I posted or not. It's an...

    Oh, yeah. For sure. We had activity books, too, that were intended just for car travel. I remember one night we hit a huge jackrabbit in Texas. I was half asleep. I thought the car was coming apart.

    When to give up on someone?

    The church of your childhood was right. There are actually too many people the Spirit is working on to waste our labors on people who are not under conviction. I have a friend who teaches young people how to canvas door-to-door as missionary/colporteurs (literature evangelists), and he tells...

    When I was a wee Navy brat, my daddy used to keep the roads hot. We lived on a little western Pacific island called Guam for over 6 years. The island is 8 miles wide at the northern and southern tips, 4 miles wide in the middle, and 21 miles long (and shaped sort of like a bent hourglass). And...

    Yeah, the trouble with trying to avoid settling where tornadoes roam is that the cursed things are showing up frequently, these days, in places they used to never appear. I think the LORD lets the devil mess with the weather an awful lot. :)

    Most Christians boldly proclaim "I know Him" but do NOT guard/keep His commandments!

    Actually, righteousness has always been by faith, even before Lucifer became proud. :)

    Where in the scripture is anyone called to be a Christian?

    Yeah, but you gotta hand it to him, he hit the nail right on the head, except that you'll also -ignore- folks you can't browbeat into submission. :D

    Why Are You A Christian?

    I suggest you give up trying to give up things. - lol. Surrender it to Jesus. Be a slave to Him. No man can serve two masters. His yoke is easy, and His burden is light. Only believe. There's active, creative, miracle-working power in His Word. Tell Him you can't do it and He's simply going to...

    I had to -like- this because I can relate to it. :)

    Logical reason to believe in God

    Actually, I was addressing @Jennifer Rogers who's a brand new member, and I remembered your recent post in Devin's thread and thought it would be excellent to share with her! I'm sure she would welcome you to contribute anything you feel would be useful to this thoughtful thread she just...

    Logical reason to believe in God

    Jennifer, You hang in there. This is a rough place. If you say anything beyond "Jesus loves me; This I know," you are going to have arrows flying at you from every direction. I just read a post by member @Hidden In Him that sums things up pretty nicely: And may I extend a hearty welcome to...

    Is the Easter Bunny a fraud?

    Since you grew up without these things perhaps it is easier for you to view them in the harshest possible light than it would be for those who are accustomed to their observance. What do you think Christ meant when He said to His disciples: Joh 16:12 KJV I have yet many things to say unto you...

    Why Are You A Christian?

    You know, I believe in most cases you can get a different answer to the this question on different days from a lot of folks. I don't mean by this that people are inclined to be fickle about it. But when I saw you had taken @Hidden In Him's advice (which is often a good idea) and chosen this...
