I would say that the memorization would be impossible for many people, be the goals the 1050 or 613 or 10! At one time many years ago I could quote a lot of scripture not due to my efforts to memorize, but simply from reading and/or hearing many verses so often. At one time I was also able to...

Trust God always my friend! There will always be doubters, even doubters with apparent good [remember well the only One who is good!] reasons to doubt. God, however, when we follow Him sincerely will keep us in that which we need to be kept. Our wants or desires may initially disagree with...

"Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.' Phil 4:11-12

Hello my friend! Finding yourself there often these days... in the choir that is? LOL! Maybe you are catching up with me in age? My wife is always reminding me that I am 7 years older than her. After so many years together, I wish she would hurry up and catch up with me... "The thing that hath...

I always enjoyed mowing the lawn even when I was a boy and our lawn mower had no power to push it but me. From lawns after my marriage I went to my first vegetable garden consisting of a couple of tomato plants in the back yard. My garden time grew into an important thing me... especially when I...

It is our direction which needs to be certain. Alone it cannot be: "O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps" Jerem 10:23 We do need a Director, a Leader, a Teacher: "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father...

Thank you for answering. What it takes, I believe, to adhere to His doctrines is a continuous surrender to Him and then following the Holy Spirit which leads us into all Truth. Jesus is Truth! For me the following, the seeking is what the word, Christian, means, one who wants to and strive to...

Each morning and sometimes more often daily I go to the lowest room and strive to empty myself of all that I believe or know or all that I think I believe or know... Sometimes I need to ask God for help in doing that. "When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest...

Good to see you here my friend for another moment or another day. Me and mine are blessed of God. Hope all is well with you today! If you or anyone is really see flaws in the doctrines favored by me or anyone, then holes perhaps need to be poked in them to point out to whoever is paying...

After 14 years of nominal Catholicism God saved me and my wife and our marriage. [Next year it will be 50 years of marriage.] But... since we are not Trinitarians, no Christian designation is allowed? Did God say that? How important is the label? I thought the most important thing was to love...

It probably tastes better all of the time!

I am being careful at the moment not to speculate. I am not confused, but neither is my vision of Him absolutely clear. Going in God's direction as He leads us, we are not confused.

I do know some things while other things I believe. Sometimes I may be uncertain of the difference. The Truth of such a matter comes from God and some things are definite as they are shown to me. Not having the same connection I understand that you do not believe me. Just think on the...

"I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work." John 9:4

Then believe that and enjoy the time allotted to you with that place in "mammon" for that is still what I see.

Amen, my friend! Give God the glory!

In a sense it can refer to people who are playing games with God, but... There are also people who do believe in God in a measure but do not really trust Him. Is that different? Consider the statement that many people on this forum have made that no one can ever be sinless while they live...

In the flesh putting on a front to make yourself look good is a common occurrence, but among believers in Christ, it should be something to get rid of... How many fill the church pews regularly striving to appear others to be angels of light, when actually within they are full of darkness? What...

They don't like people who are riding or trying to ride the fence. If you are my enemy, be my enemy openly rather than putting on a show to supposedly make everyone happy! Are too many bearing the Christian label among the lukewarm? "I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would...

Yes, Jesus is the answer! "And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell." Matt 10:28
