I wouldn't count even on that.

28! That was the resulting number which started with my wife's chronic asthma. One was for the asthma. Three or four were for the side affects of that one. Three or four, etc. for the side affects of all of those. 28 different medicines at the peak and all but one were for the side affects of...

This is like so many beliefs held commonly by groups of people or churches. You twist it one way and that becomes a new revelation of truth or...? You add to that another one also twisted to one side and you have a whole new doctrine or even a denomination. Anywhere along this pathway at each...

Give God the glory, Sister!

I don't know of any place immediately where in scripture He specifically allows it, but there are probably many examples of it being that way. Consider the very first temptation in Genesis. They were certainly allowed to eat of the wrong tree even though they were warned against it.

Those that will, do. Those who will not, don't. Even with the best of leaders how many will still effectively reject God and not bother? How many were followers of Moses but repeatedly repented and rejected both him and God until...? "Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my...

Many people do not trust in God... but some do. I know some that do, but then again I know of too many who only pay lip service to God. Hurricane Florence may be the least of man's troubles before the end comes.

Ministers put in place by God have a responsibility but so do the followers. Everyone needs to be watching: "Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their...

Is that how we are supposed to serve God? At first look it may seem so, but then again it could end up being lukewarm to Him and the result is, He spits us out.

We do what we can Helen, but who does not at times get weary in well doing? The oldsters probably have a higher percentage in that category than the youngsters. How does this all weigh out on God's scale?

But, still as stewards of them, we should do our best to sustain them in good condition.

And possibly even less than that being led by the Holy Ghost!

Nothing wrong with studying the scriptures so long as our intent and our Leadership is right. But when they are not then the words written by Solomon would apply: "And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh."...

Why would I or should I presume that this hunk of flesh and bone is more than a vessel that contains both the old man and the new man or that it is this flesh and bone that will be refurbished? We are to kill the "old man" but that does not mean commit suicide by overdosing on some kind of...

First some background on what I see: What I believe is that a real Christian [one who follows or strives to follow] Christ is usually, [always?], a mixture of belief and knowledge with regard to God and the things of God. The problem is that for many or even all of these things we don't know...

And knowledge, is it preferred to faith? "Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed." John 20:29 "And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I...

"And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know." I Cor 8:2

Have you never seen that Light in a person? I most certainly have. It is not normally to be seen with the natural eye, but with the "eyes to see" about which Jesus spoke. If you're looking for a physical light in the physical darkness, instead of the Light of God shining from or in a person as...

A "good" man, our friend @bbyrd009 even though at times he can be confusing. Likely most often this happens because our own confusion is also in the mix.

The person, who cannot read but listens to a teacher who connects his words [scripture for example] with pictures to which he points as he speaks, may well come to identify similar or identical pictures with the lessons taught. Children do the same thing both before and after they learn to read...
