Sleeping is not such an evil thing if we sleep as Jesus slept aboard ship with the disciples. Remember his words to them when he awoke: "O ye of little faith".

Amen, God's Way is always best!

Hopefully it will remain for you just so! I have certainly been where you are more than once. I don't want to say I envy your eagerness, but I suppose that it is envy. Help me dear Lord! "The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done...

Thank you very much for the offer. He really did appreciate your interest, although I admit that this morning he had already forgotten last week's conversation. He doesn't always realize how bad his memory is... and when he does he is carefully not to make much of it. In the back of his mind I...

Preserved, so that nothing breaks through the bottom or the sides, but at the top overflowing so that we have some to share with those about us who hunger and thirst for that which we have... our abundance in Him! "And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with wine and...

Yes, it is clearly marked for each person who has received the "eyes to see" by the Lord. Unfortunately, many people not realizing their own blindness or even their fuzzy vision plunge ahead as if what they find in their minds is always the mind of Christ. There is certainly only one highway of...

On another subject here for a moment. I spoke with my pastor again this A.M. about Israel. While as I thought before he would love to go, but not now. He does wait on God for the 'go ahead' on things. He sends his thanks, but not now. Knowing him pretty well and considering his age and other...

Even so! Sometimes in a very basic communication, we may send a wrong message because that was not the subject. People may be listening/reading when we were not paying attention to ourselves.

Very simply it means if you put your all into living for God, it is easy. If, on the other hand, you try to ride the fence putting the minimum into it so as to enjoy the world and God, it is hard.

One additional note here... something I learned from the brother who really won me to God many years ago: It is easy to live for God hard, but it is hard to live for God easy.

@VictoryinJesus On your final question, don't debate! Not always so easy, I know. Friendly helpful discussions would be good and we see them once in a while, but the other kind are too common and not always so easy to recognize initially. Even if a thread starts out well, all it takes to ruin...

I avoid certain designations for things or people, but there are always more that never occurred to me until I stepped into that particular cow paddy. One that I caught onto early was the word "Christian" or "Christianity". For example, people call the United States a Christian nation, but...

Ah yes, again we see that communication is a problem. I try to change languages according to whom it is I speak, but sometimes we are too far apart. Though we both may speak what is called English, it might as well be Chinese on the one hand and German on the other. Sometimes I guess I don't...

I was a Catholic a long time ago before they made some major changes in the 1960's through what they call "Vatican II". There are now some "Catholics" who stand by, or want to, the way things were prior to Vatican II, while the Pope [and I would guess] most of the membership go along with the...

That is cheating. There is more than one flavor involved there... although I must say that I'm partial to banana splits myself.

You are not alone in this inability to understand to grasp something the first time through. I often will read a post here 2 or 3 times trying to understand and then give up still not understanding. Sometimes it may be the writer, but very often, yes, it is me.

Once in a while the program for this site has some major little glitches. When I come up against them, like you I try and try again. Sometimes it works and sometime...!!!???:eek::(

Welcome to the forum! Hope you are able to talk about 'everything to do with the Bible' as soon as you would like.

He is not finished with us yet!

Yes, we are not complete! We do not have the whole of the Word of God written in our hearts...
