My wife has a severely compromised immune system meaning she easily catches anything around that can be caught. Weekly, she injects herself with an immunoglobulin bit of gold. It supplements her defective immune system ruined by steroids over a 20-year period. With other problems weakening her...

Why does a person need to love anyone? Consider the result for a person who loves no one.

Beforehand we simply did not have a clue. I guess that that was for us a test from God. I would not in spite of that experience ever say, never again! While we have been cautious in our assistance, we have not stopped assisting. My wife was one to help people whenever and however she could long...

Are smart people ever wise and/or crafty? Are they the same? "Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own...

The good thing I guess is that we were not going very many places any more anyway. The bad thing is that the few places we still enjoyed going have also been declared off limits.

Welcome to the forum!

Yes, for those who love God, or are learning to love God, there is a process going on... and stumbling along the way is not such an unusual thing. If we do not quit on God, I believe the Way to the end of our course with Him remains open to us. We cannot save anyone and we cannot even help...

Need or want? On that point, you are the skeptic. I have no problem with God wanting us to love Him.

About 30 years ago when my wife's asthma was at its worst and her pulmonologist was working hard to stabilize her, he, the doctor, suggested she visit a hospital in Denver that specialized in respiratory problems like hers. I took an extended vacation from work, and we drove from Oklahoma to...

Indeed content with that: "Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content." Phil 4:11 The only step we need to see is the very next one and sometimes walking with God that is all we can see. Sometimes God may show us things that lie...

People... and I do mean church people, very often do not know the difference between what they want and what God would say that they need. A lot of them it seems to me do not really care to know what God would say that they need. They often, it seems, presume that what they want in the flesh...

On the contrary... only a hard luck story which I now forget as to what happened to their money. The guy went around from church to church asking for work to earn for traveling money to get them home from Oklahoma some place in Arkansas. We had a couple projects going on the grounds of the...

Perhaps my answer here will seem complicated, but is it so complicated for God the One who is supposed to be leading us. Consider this thing of drawing straws to find God's decision. It really is not arbitrarily determined or just dumb luck, is it? How does God speak to us? Is...

You presume you know that I taught myself. You may believe that, but you do not know it. Through scripture you proved nothing. All you did was quote verses. I only see that you either did not understand, or did not like, or disagreed with my answer. I tried to answer honestly, and you call it...

Subjective to you because you are unable to read/see his mind or heart. Not, however, subjective to him if God provided the response.

Not quite! There are some people who really do love God and as a result are striving to please Him. There seem to be many bearing the label of Christian who put too much emphasis on "me" and not enough on Him. Who besides God can accurately separate the two?

Praying for both you and your girlfriend!

Everyone loves mammon or, at least, has loved mammon. Moving toward God and His Son is moving away from that. God loves us, but where is our love for Him?

Oh, I understand now. My mistake! Sorry. I do understand your viewpoint although I cannot agree with your conclusions. What happened to the followers of Jesus when Jesus himself and the original apostles were gone is similar to what happened the followers of Moses and Joshua when those leaders...

Still no definite helpful results from all of the tests. Tuesday [1-11] I go in for a biopsy. They will do a special CAT scan to be used as a road-map in conjunction with something like a GPS which allows the surgeon using some kind of device inserted down through my airway to find the thing...
