I also have never watched the "Left Behind" movies. I cannot say I never believed in the rapture, but what I heard about that first movie presented a conflict with my own desire to understand only the Word of God. I thought at the time I would get that from the Bible. [I certainly misunderstand...

We have a cell phone Helen, but we have never bought one. A number of years ago our daughter decided we needed one so we have it and she pays for it. My wife texts friends that are hard to get on the phone and I use it to contact my her via our land line phone when I am out of the house...

O what a mighty God we serve! What is impossible for Him? Praise His holy precious name!

I am praying for our country, but please consider that this is a prayer forum. Political and other discussion should be done elsewhere.

Here is your reference, Dave: "Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life." II Cor...

Yes, she self administers weekly what is known as "liquid gold" to give an artificial immune system but it does not fix everything. Fortunately my insurance insurance [not Medicare] pays for most of it.. Thank you for your prayers.

I am with you on this sister in prayer. Give God the glory in spite of or because of the rough places we may have to pass through...

Then you understand part of the problem. We'll keep you in prayer!

I have a mild asthma myself but I have never had what could be called an asthma attack. My wife explains that it is like someone is holding a pillow over her face. There is simply little or no air available. In a serious attack immediately relief is a matter of life or death. Fortunately after...

Without accessing your link with regard to the Knights of Columbus, I can testify that one of the best men I have ever known was a Catholic, a Knight of Columbus and an ex-marine who fought in Korea. He returned from the Marine Corps and educated himself to become a teacher of special education...

It has always been common to try to follow the ways of a peer group in order to hopefully be accepted as a member of that group. It may be nice to be accepted, but sometimes the price is too high... especially for the actual return received.

When she was a teenager she had had her ears pierced but had stopped wearing earrings before meeting me.

Unfortunately, economics have a lot to do with it. People who have lived in North Carolina or other states where the tobacco industry is so important perhaps understand this better than I. But it's not only tobacco smoke that is a culprit in this kind of thing. In the small city where we lived...

I am against ear piercing of any kind for anyone, so I'm not the best one to ask this question.

My wife's asthma only came to the fore when she was nearly 40 years old. It is not only children affected by second hand smoke. Neither she nor I nor any of our parents were ever smokers. The doctor's who treated her asthma in the beginning said her lungs looked similar to those of someone who...

Many years ago my wife and I would go to a restaurant where smoking was allowed only in a designated smoking section. We would always request a table as far as possible removed from the smokers. Yet she, never a smoker herself, would still often trigger an asthma attack. Instead of finishing a...

"And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free: Then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall also bring him to the door, or unto the door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an aul; and he shall serve him...

"For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin." Heb 4:15 He was tempted which meant that he had within him those same three things which attracted his flesh as they attract our flesh. to...

Breaking the seal is a bad idea, but men regularly live according to bad ideas. If a person breaks the seal of canned food and leaves it exposed to the air for a period of time it will rot becoming inedible.

It is not our efforts that bring about our salvation but our surrender. Yes, we are to strive with whatever we have, but that striving will not win any battles that count. We surrender the reins of ourselves to God and then He can and will win the battles. God doesn't loses battles but when men...
