Well give God the glory anyway!

Tell Uncle Sam and the VA that. My hearing loss and tinnitus occurred while on active duty. They pay me the minimum monthly partial disability payment as well as supplying hearing aids and batteries for life, but no solution for the tinnitus offered. Anything related to my hearing is service...

I also have that tinnitus along with a high frequency hearing loss. It happened to me in 1965 firing a 50 caliber machine gun for the US Army without earplugs. The ringing has never stopped...

A number of us may indeed already be finally saved where we will never fail the Lord so as to lose the foundation which is Jesus. The problem is that we do not know our final result. No matter what we think, I believe that Only God knows that. We are still living by faith. When we say that the...

This I can certainly relate to... I have learned that sometimes when my wife causes my "entire house of cards" to fall down it needed to fall. God was in it. My wife has never been the Bible student I have been, but she has over the years nearly always been the one who first heard the right...

What I see with this unjust steward is a man falling short in the ways of the Master [or maybe the pastor but most certainly, God] where he simply was not doing even the minimum God required. To save his flesh he went to the members of the congregation who effectively materially supported the...

Early in our walk with God, He will allow for our frailties and our stumbling having a lot of mercy toward us, but as we grow, or as we should be growing, will not His mercy resulting from our foolishness diminish? "And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men...

"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning." James 1:17

Yes, my friend there really is a God, but the "eyes to see" often simply are not there in so many. Of course God does allow for those newly hungering and thirsting after His righteousness to see a glimmer before allowing them the opportunity to move on toward the Light. Many effectively teach...

"Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts." Prov 21:2

Sometimes just Hmmm? Faith based? Would we be led by faith in God to permanently mark ourselves even with what we might believe to be good things? What things are good? Who decides what is good and what is not other than the only One who is good? "And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me...

Yes, who are they, why are they and what are they? Are there any here?

Even so... The only ring I ever wore before marriage was my high school class ring. I gave that to my grandson. The only jewelry I have worn since then is my wedding ring. I haven't owned a short sleeved shirt or a pair of short pants in a great many years. When I do attend a church service I...

So many read the words like this on forums like this or hear them in their assemblies, but that is the end of their sacrifice. They have spent their few minutes here or in some place of assembly and the rest of the time is their own or so they think... People speak of 24/7 but how many even...

They think they are there without even knowing that there is here, in me and in each believer who has allowed Him to enter in and then has continued to eat His flesh and drink His blood so as to always have real Life. How many really have Life and how many walk their own road taking hold of what...

Praying!

Indeed! "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 3:5-61

You may be correct in this if we in our flesh are purposely following or purposely ignoring those literal commandments, but on the other hand... If we are really following the lead of and obeying the Holy Spirit, we will do the right thing according to God. If we are not then we won't. The key...

"This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.: Psalm 118:24 "Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." Matt 6:34

None for me ever! My wife had some prior to meeting me, but there has been no need nor desire in that direction for many years. We've been married 46 years and serving God together for more than 42.
