You keep on praying for people like that and while you're at it, include me and my wife as well. The flesh really is weak and it is not getting stronger. [Never mind about changes in the mirror view.] Also love that little girl of yours. One day perhaps in a not really so distant future...

Fortunately no one here is dependent upon you for "soup". Should you not be a little more willing to share with others any good things that God has given to you: "Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves." Phil 2:3

Now read the testimony of @Heart2Soul Know your adversary and remember that we live in a world too often hateful and merciless but as hard it is God on our side can and will make the needed difference if we only trust Him.

What is it they say about hindsight? But, I cannot really answer your questions on this. God had a reason, but what was it? When we read Job we get a lot of details, but still how many different lessons and point of views have you heard on Job? Probably many, or even most, of those different...

Even so should we approach it, so why do you argue so strongly about the errors you believe you see in men? Can a man's heart be right without having all of doctrines established in him according to me or according to you? You believe that what you believe is right... well believe it or not I...

What was the difference between Job and his "supposed to be" three friends? The three were looking for the adversaries or obstacles or failings that they were certain were within Job himself. But they only presumed they were there because they had had experience with such adversaries likely...

Even so my friend! Consider the scriptures as the dead body of Jesus, the flesh which we are to eat; and consider the Holy Spirit [the quickening Spirit of God] the blood of Jesus which we are to drink. If we only eat flesh [compare the hamburger the natural body eats] and it is never brought to...

@Heart2Soul Looking at this another way, consider these verses: "But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he...

But it is not ended yet with you and in you has it? How would you interpret this written verse? "He must increase, but I must decrease." John 3:30

I have read it many times Helen and read studies on it and still much of it [75%? Likely more than that] still eludes me... A lot of this that I read I have forgotten which reminds me that there is a difference between memorizing or even studying verses of scripture (or established doctrines)...

Even when I am interested still [and I'm only 75] I must often back away for a bit and try again after while or on another day so as to avoid those headaches myself. The problem with that is "This the day that the Lord hath made". Yesterday's gone so don't be too concerned it and as for...

@Mayflower Give God the glory!

Many years ago when our own 2 children were quite young, we were meeting someone at the San Francisco Airport. In those days there were always several Hari Krishna followers at the airport wearing their long bright orange robes soliciting offerings or new converts. My little daughter, still...

Give God all the glory!

While I read through the post, I would hate to try to translate/interpret it as it would not come easily. Your explanation is a here is probably good enough for most people to get the idea... whether they accept it as being true or not.

@dorian37grey Hello again old friend! It has been a long time between times. Give God the glory!

It comes back to that vision [of that bigger picture] without which we perish. We were blind and now we see, but no matter how well we think we see at the moment, if we have time left our vision can be improved... and it must be. We cannot stop until we have finished the race.

A person can know this and still fail to do it right. On the top [where we think we are] we seem to have conquered the lust of the eyes and the lust of the flesh and as we are feeling so good about ourselves and what we [we believe we have] have overcome, we get caught in the one momentarily...

If instead of saying "in Christ", we were to say "in the name", would that simplify it or change its meaning? Consider this explanation I posted to this forum in August of 2018 about "In the name". It would still seem to explain what I see at the moment: A part of me is rebelling against...

It was there all of the time. So simple:
