Think about the positive side of Christian forums, at least when they really allow some discussion of differences as this one does. Most physical church settings do not allow real discussion for anyone who seriously disagrees with what they consider their essential beliefs. Some would change...

Greetings this blessed morning! So glad to see so many already full of vim, vigor and vitality with more than a touch of the Holy Spirit. I am in the midst of my own first cup of coffee. Thank God for coffee and for youth... not that I have much of the latter!

I am always reminded of what Gandhi, a non-Christian said in this regard: "I love your Christ but I hate your Christians because your Christians are unlike your Christ." My own experience has very often been the same. But not always...

Perhaps the darts of opposition are coming at you harder and more frequently because the time is short. That is me too. I cannot give up. I cannot fail, but I do... and then I get up again or ask God to take my hand and help me up. I ask that God give you strength to ask Him for help each and...

Praying for him now!

Well it is not "all for one and one for all" even though some may want to shout something like that from the rooftops!

I suspect that a lot of people here mouth that belief of this being God's nation without knowledge or understanding. I cannot say that America as a whole has been very close to God in the past, but as a group we certainly seem to be moving farther away from Him now. Help us dear Lord!

Give God the glory for any good and I'll take what I have coming for any bad! Praise His name!

Five little dogs and their Ma... Does that equal dogmas? Sorry, but I just could help myself. No one needs to laugh. I will laugh all alone.

People, that is you or me or the other guy, who focus on expecting Christ making this short allotment of time here of probably less than 120 years a happy time for them in Christ will indeed be miserable. This time we have is a proving ground, a time of testing, to allow us to do something...

Cannot taking up our cross include suffering? "And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me." Matt 10:38 Can persecution include suffering? "Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye...

@I.O.U Perhaps this: "Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others." Phil 2:3-4

Being happy may sometimes be one of the end results, but that certainly should not be our primary goal. Can we ever attain to simply loving God in spite of being in the very worst of places according to carnal perceptions? Can we be in a horrible place in horrible circumstances and be happy...

This is not one of my usual stopping places on here as there is so simply not enough time for this slow moving old man, but I made it happen this morning. I have had my first cup of coffee. My second one is not far away. Glad to find such a cheerful gathering before the Lord. Give God the glory!

@Mayflower Happy belated birthday to you. May you and yours continue to be richly blessed of God!

Perhaps these are the ones they meant: "These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: 1) A proud look, 2) a lying tongue, and 3) hands that shed innocent blood, 4) An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, 5) feet that be swift in running to mischief, 6) A...

Only God gives any really profitable increases, but unfortunately too many people are certain they are speaking for God and insist on it too strongly against any opposition. We all need to go back and read and take to heart some of the proverbs God inspired Solomon to write such as... "A soft...

The poor in their own spirit, which is not the Holy Spirit, speaks of those who are humble rather than prideful and rich in their own spirit [again not the Holy Spirit]. Consider the difference between these two men: "Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a...

Keep on thinking! "And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together." Gen 22:8 "Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I...
