We KNOW, that man can do lots of things...”of himself”.....but man cannot do anything of value without God, and man can do nothing that will account for anything in the kingdom , when all actions are weighed,.... without God.

Another dimension within in us , around us, near us, God Himself.

If you both REALLY believe that...then why run to the doctor or hospital to "save your life".....just trust God. You can't have it both ways. You compromise. ie. " I trust God for my life...but I better run quickly to the hospital incase I die.":rolleyes:

@Nancy Thinking of you... There are lots of situations in our lives that don’t make sense to us. We worry and wonder and coax and try to fix and we can’t figure out why all we get is a big question mark. When dreams die and despair grows and sorrow builds and hope plummets … we just want to...

PRIDE, FULNESS OF BREAD, AND AN ABUNDANCE OF IDLENESS...that sound very much like today!!! Yep!! Good post @FHII , and very good 'balance'.

You obviously haven't been here long enough to know who is who... @quietthinker is the last person to be malicious, discordant or divisive!!:eek: ( @brakelite too) ' Quiet ' and I don't always see eye to eye on things. But I respect him , and you should too.

I do not read where we are told to just be standing looking up and waiting for Him. In fact just the opposite. The angels asked them- " Why stand thou gazing into heaven...?" Jesus said- " Occupy 'til I come..." , " Work while it is yet day...the night cometh..." We are not going to float...

Good post...I like that :)

When we moved over here from England...we went to a Pentecostal Church meeting...we were never so shocked. It was the most removed from the Holy Ghost experience , women over one side, men over the other side. It was so depressing, no joy, ..then someone told us that Pentecostal "over here" is...

Last time I looked he was not.... :) But you hang more on which boxes we all fit into than I do. Do you have a box for me yet? LOL JW is one I have not been through on my 57 years... Enjoyed the Brethren when young...my dad too us along. Been Methodist, again when young...did Church Of...

...Good one Quiet...well said.

I also see the OT commands like that too... Once through the cross, they are now... Thou shalt not .... Thou shalt not... etc etc.. He changes the negative into a positive... If and when we follow His Way..... we will not do what we once did.."We shall not.." :)

Needless to say..I DID start taking the pills ... My daughter's both "boss me around"...our rolls are reversed now. Hahaha!!

I refused blood pressure pills for so long...it would get sky high! Scary, but I wanted to "please God" by not taking any medication. Then one day my adult married daughter said to me.. " Well thanks a lot mum, so you are 'proving your point' by not taking meds to stop you having a heart attack...

..yes indeed..I am chiming in!! :D The if's used to bother me, until... I came to the point that IF it was all down to me...then it would never ever get done...because I just cannot. Philippians 1 is where I landed. 6 "Being confident of this very thing, that He which hath begun a...

Agree. We are allowed to be kinder to our animals than we are to our parents. If a person has enough brain cells left to choose...in most places people are allowed to pinch there lips closed and refuse food and water. In the Home where my mother was there were two sisters. One...

Hey John (@amadeus ) Glad that you did this. :) For myself I believe it is shown in the " Many are called but few are chosen" Much like the army, many are called up...but not all make the grade. Some are chosen to lead , take responsibility, and sacrifice... In the story of the...

Probably at your age I felt the same. Just wait until it is your turn my friend. It sound all very 'holy and righteous' now, I am sure. But then again, no doubt you have not seen very many people die yet. We each have to hold on to the convictions we have. God bless...H

Nothing is every just black and white. What about the brave wounded soldiers who said- " Give me a gun and leave me here ( suicide )...I'll hold them off as long as I can." Did he commit suicide , or did they commit murder??? What about in the war , when a Sergeant had who choose to shoot...

It depends whether we believe what the devil tells us, that we can and must add to our salvation...or whether we believe that GOD said about us! I'll go with God's view and opinion.
