Give God the glory!

Those three are games that when I was young I heard about, but never met any enthusiasts so I've never played any of them. My mother and step-father use to attend periodic card parties and Portuguese Celebrations in California. They always played a version of cards similar to rook but I have...

In scripture there is nothing I have not read many times. If study alone were the Way to God it would be a very different world that we live in today... but it is not. God taught me a very hard lesson about study when I was allowed/drawn back into His fold after leaving Him for 10 years. The...

It was not you. But... I am certainly not orthodox and have not been since I left the Catholic Church more than 50 years ago. Some people don't doubt that I am a follower of the Lord, but there are a few on the other hand. No, I won't name them, but if you encounter them I am sure you will...

I always liked scrabble but my wife is one of the first people I ever encountered who also enjoyed it. As a kid I used to love to play monopoly but I had a cousin/uncle who ruined it for me. When he won he was a loud mouth who was all smiles and quick to make other feel inferior if he could...

Well that is the way the game comes... but I presume the double deck is easy enough. Simply remove the 1's and the 2's. It would change the game some, but I suspect it would still work. We found the game at a Target store in Oklahoma City. No Targets closer to home, but it may be available...

This reminds me of the king's words to Paul here: "Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian." Acts 26:28 Am I not a Christian? Hmmm, not according to some... but God is the One who matters! I never met a 7th Day Adventist before Christian forums, which was...

I misspoke in saying it had 13 rounds. Actually it only has 11 rounds. We had for a long time been playing Phase 10, a somewhat older game, but it had become almost routine with little challenge left for us. We went looking and found this new game [to us new!] called Five Crowns. It is similar...

"He must increase, but I must decrease." John 3:30

@Hidden In Him The following may help, but it also may be controversial or unbelievable by some, perhaps even including yourself. I do believe it could relate to your OP. Consider that first the prophet, Samuel, anoints Saul as king: "Then Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured it upon his...

My wife and I don't do it with diet, but with a couple of mind flexing games. No matter what else is happening, once a day, we stop to play a card game which requires us to work with numbers. In the first round, it is easy but by the 13th and final round it has become very difficult/complex. No...

Today my wife and I went out for a nice combined birthday dinner using a gift card from our daughter. Along with mine I had a Samuel Adams, my first beer probably in a year's time. I like it because it has a rich taste mindful in a way of a German dark beer... but of course it is served cold...

Do we really? Not me... certainly not most of the time! But that's OK for I don't need to know more than their spirit/Spirit, do I? A lot of times I imagine I miss on that one too.

I know you are not serious about this new forum idea because together you and I and several others traveled to many different forums with our old friend Mike. What is needed is for all of us to very simply be like Jesus 24/7, each and every one of us. That would require more than we, all of us...

Now I understand better your meaning, but you used the word, spiritualizing, without clearly explaining what you meant. As you well know by now there are a great many different beliefs and doctrines held and/or argued by the members of this forum. Personally I don't like to use some of the words...

You say those verses do not refer to the Church nor did I say that they did. My point was that without the "eyes to see" a person will never come to the "face to face" vision of which Apostle Paul wrote. What they speak about is vision without which we shall perish. You my friend may not be...

"And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live." Ex 33:20 "Where there is no vision, the people perish..." Prov 29:18 "When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek." Psalm 27:8 "For now we see through a glass...

I guess this amounts close to the same thing for the adversary thinking his purposes are of his own invention does NOT know the entirety of the plan of God. Satan and/or some man working his own ways will often times be used to do the work of the left hand of God. The adversary may believe he...

Who is qualified to minister to anyone with what the gifts of God? Has God given us any ministers to baptize? "And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying...

Amen!
