I will be keeping you in prayer. My parents are both long since gone from here, but my old pastor at 93, rejected by the ones who should perhaps love him the most, puts me at times in a similar situation. Do all that you can but always put God first before even those that you love so much. I...

But the world is where we live... our own little world of the lust of the eye, the lust of the flesh and the pride of life until we have overcome them all so that with Jesus we are no longer IN the world: "And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy...

Give God the glory!

We cannot win any important battles until we have learned to surrender. Remember these verses as well: "When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he...

There is a Body of Christ which is being prepared. As each person who is to be a part is led by the Holy Spirit subjecting himself to the Head [Jesus] we should most definitely be noticing something. Are we hearing from God? Are we hearing His voice? Are we obedient to what we are hearing...

Precisely! As John the Baptist stated it: "He must increase, but I must decrease." John 3:30 That's the "He" in me versus the "me" in me!

Most certainly, but His work on us and in us is as I see it, not finished yet!

@Heart2Soul But Hope is still not gone... not yet! Praying for God to help us out according to our real needs!

@SovereignGrace Welcome to the forum!

Just keep on walking straight and you will come to the edge eventually, of course, walking on water may be required.

Give God the glory for any truly happy endings!

"New creations in Christ", but this is simply giving us a new start with a clean slate as Adam and Eve had a clean slate. Directly once Adam and Eve died as a result of their disobedience, all of their natural offspring were also dead with no immediate hope. God sent Jesus to provide Hope, to...

@Acolyte Even so! I have been baptized not less than two additional times [last time in 1976] since being baptized at 6 years of age. In any case, the baptism in water, or the lack thereof, should be according to your own conviction. What does God say to your heart?

And blessings to you as well. Kathy has had perhaps her best winter health wise in many years, but I am growing tired in my flesh. I don't read as many of the posts as I once did so naturally I also don't answer as many. After my early morning Bible reading and prayer, I have recently formed a...

@marks Welcome to the forum!

Someone did understand it when they regularly used to emphasize the need to learn the 3 R's [Reading, 'Riting and "Rithmetic] in school. It would seem that with the advent of personal computers the 3 R's for the average person has been deemphasized and it probably has hurt and is hurting them in...

Wrap your mind around time? "And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:"Rev 10:6 The important times are...

I do remember when a clerk or cashier in the store had to be reasonably well versed in basic arithmetic to get and keep his job. The cash registers of old could not calculate how much change to give a person. Most things were paid for in cash in those days. Semi-literate people could not get...

Perhaps discussions with regard to a generalized timing for the Church or for a Great Tribulation are molehills. After all each of us has our own allotted time, so why should any general time or times matter to us?

If you are correct, you could not prove it by me. I have throughout my lifetime [age 75]met many people, Americans, who have been at best only semi-literate. Reading a newspaper other than the headlines or the titles was often too much for them. What they may have learned at school was often...
