Give God the glory!

I hear you loud and clear. I remember my paternal grandmother very well. Born in 1891, converted in 1913 in a camp meeting in Oklahoma, and died in 1985. I never saw her wear anything but dresses reaching well below her knees and her hair was always up in a bun except when she washed it. Then as...

Just this morning I was reading that very psalm and at some unknown time at the top of the psalm where it is credited to David, I had written "for David and for me". I had to then sit and read it again carefully. God does hit us all with some of the same things at different times, doesn't He? He...

Yes, if people really love God the times of stumbling will decrease [John 3:30] as He grows/increases within us. God will help us to reach the end with Him so long as we don't quit. If we do finally quit, we really loved our carnal world of comforts more than we loved Him. Along the Way we may...

@Jay Ross Consider that planet Earth as a whole is not involved. It is the people, you and me, that are a little bit of dirt from that planetary soil quickened today. The dust of the ground equals the Land promised equals the Earth to be inherited: And the LORD God formed man of the dust of...

Are they? When did God give the OK for polygamy in the OT? When did He ever give the OK to defile the body of flesh He provided men to use as stewards?

Yes, she did, but her husband is here only because she cannot be. Let us keep him in prayer also as this is a trial for him as well.

I see free will as the simple choice between my own way and God's Way. To really be saved so as to be always with God, a person must finally and completely give the reins of choice to God. No one normally does this all at once, unless it is at the very end of physical life as with the 'good'...

In this regard consider the position of Jesus: 1. Yes, Jesus was free to lay his life down. "No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father." John 10:18 2. No, he did not want...

Note that her husband is posting for her at the moment because she continues unable to participate herself. Keep her in prayer!

Similar to the attitude toward polygamy during the times of David and Solomon. People were so far away from God that even those who were godly fell far short of highest mark in their flesh. What does this mean to us today? What should it mean?

My wife used to buy a lot at various economical new clothes stores, but always also shopped the second hand stores. But today, even in second hand stores it is difficult to find something both appropriate and in the right sizes as comparative few dresses and skirts are manufactured. Supply and...

I do beg to differ in that to me that chapter speaks of allowing others to do what they will and leave any judgment to God. It does NOT allow me as an individual to do whatever pleases me. I need to stay in communication with God and be certain that what I do pleases Him, no matter what anyone...

Much of it is likely left from other days and times and ways as indicated already in the various posts here. While my wife and I still dress in a manner many might consider old-fashioned, we don't hold it against others that they think and act differently. We do not like to see an unnecessary...

But why should the preacher's wife and daughter be held to a standard different than other sisters? I mean I understand why they are, but why should they be? Does respect, or the lack thereof, have something to do with it?

Very womanly perhaps, even if according to what I understand of scripture, tattoos would not be very Christ-like.

My wife has owned only skirts or dresses since we began serving God together in 1976. It is her personal conviction rather than being in accord with the way of any church group... Before we were married she owned and wore other things, but to please me, she chose to get rid of the pants... that...

It really is very dependent on what the woman has in her heart. If it appears as being evil to herself or to others that matter to her and God then according to her faith, let it be... "Abstain from all appearance of evil." I Thess 5:22

@"ByGrace" and Dave Praying here also for Helen and you, Dave!

Can we grow in spite all of the mess that surrounds us? Can we straighten things out for God? Can we improve upon His plan? Can we even fully understand His plan? Why did allow sin at all? Why has He allowed polygamy? Look at David, who as the scripture makes plain, stumbled badly with the...
