@Mayflower Praying for you now sister!

People can say too much or too little. When they do speak, even if they speak the truth as they understand it sometimes it would have better if they had remained silent. This is people. They are fallible as speakers and they are fallible as listeners. I have friend who is always getting onto...

I see it as a different gift Helen! "To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:" I Cor 12:10 Years ago I searched the scriptures and counted at least different tongue...

Zepher [West wind] fresh from Zion with zeal zooms between the bars at the Zoo.

Was he indeed greater than us? "By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with...

Consider Abraham who had no scriptures to read and follow...yet read about His walk with God. Read about his friendship with God. How are we better than Abraham or less than Abraham? Can we communicate with God like Abraham communicated with God? Can we have faith in God like Abraham had faith...

People do mix what they receive/perceive from God with what they receive/perceive from elsewhere. They are spiritual mixtures. This is like the Samaritans in the time Jesus walked through there with a bit from Moses and a bit from the pagans with whom they dwelt. How clean are we? How clean can...

It can be hard thing when too many people are really not following God anyway without regard to the music. I liked some completely secular music in my youth. While some of it may not have been directly harmful, how much glory did it give to God? Even in music, it comes back to first thing first...

The Tabernacle in the wilderness had the Holiest of Holies in the very center behind the 2nd veil; and it had the Holy Place behind the 1st veil; and it had the Outer Court. The tents and dwelling places and working place of the people were outside the enclosure which enclosed all three. When...

@SleekB Giving God the glory!

Meaning I guess that sometimes even one with "eyes to see" blinked and missed it!

Even so! Almost anyone, who is not what I would call a complete reprobate [guilty of unforgivable sin] can look very good for the moment because for the moment they were "perfect", but then they moved on for however so short a time without God...

@Nancy I see the difference but the line is Not always a clearly defined one. Some music will straddle the line, while others be definitely on one side or the other. Of course, some music is outside of both. Then again some music found within the realm of one or both positions described for...

That gate is much straiter and narrower than many people seem to believe... or so I believe...LOL The problem for any person, who is Not already such an overcomer, is that his vision of the things of God remains blurred or as through a glass darkly. Perhaps we have met one or more today, but...

Admitting we fear or have had fear of man and the dangers applicable to carnal/mortal man is no more sin than it is to look at a woman who is attractive. But like that simple look at the woman it can of course easily become sin dependent on where we go from there. "But I say unto you, That...

Yes, only someone who has already overcome all of the "world" as Jesus did will have no fear at all. Are there any of those... the ones who have overcome similar to Jesus? I believe so!

While I understand your point, I am not talking about the lost who claim to be part of the Church but are not. I am considering that there are guests at the wedding supper as well as the Bride. The guests are not joined with the Bridegroom but neither are they lost in death.

It always makes me wonder what world it is that is passing away. Jesus was no longer in the world before he was crucified. Can any of us do that? Alone, certainly not, but by means of the power of God in us? Some, I believe, will indeed be gone from the "world" before physical death.

Yes, you are seeing a difference between the Church and the Bride. I believe that the Bride comes out of the Church.

Even so... my maternal grandmother in their little country place had no livestock, but dozens of cats. My step-grandfather cared for them calling them in the evening and throwing table scraps to out the back door. Their next door neighbor had a small herd of dairy cattle. From them they got milk...
