Give God the glory for this man. Unfortunately, it is the home folk that cause him trouble... trying to use his age and frailty against him. People everywhere else are constantly begging him to visit their assemblies. They love him, but there is not enough of him to go around. I have no doubt...

Yes, dying. It is a shame for it was for me always both fun and educational... but it became a necessity for me to quit. I would never have quit if God had not let me know it was part of my problem with Him. I spent too much time on it. Now I do nothing on it except prepare a book to be sold on...

He is! He received the baptism of the Holy Ghost in 1936 at the age of 11 years. He was married for 66 years, but she died 5 years ago and he goes on traveling all over this country as well to others. He drives more than 15,000 miles per year as part of his ministry plus he flies to many other...

So much for no problems with the ice storm. My pastor [age 92] who was safely in Hurst, Tx (near Dallas) after attending a meeting in Houston decided to drive on home today without telling anyone on this end. So he drove the 260 some miles alone and on the approach to home he called me...

In that sense, I do have a few dollars in my wallet at the moment. So then perhaps a bit of debt, but then... "Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content." Phil 4:11 I would guess that that means also in the midst of an ice storm.

But thankfully, God has more mercy than that. He who sees all of our frailties still loves us. Why? Now the correct answer to that may explain to us just what God is. But who can answer it correctly?

Twinc, I certainly do accept that the scriptures may also apply to my use or misuse of them. Who among us is already an overcomer as Jesus was an overcomer? Who can be? What did Jesus say? "It is written".

"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 Rather a hard act to follow... but there it is, to be tempted and not sin! Jesus provided that perfect example by doing in the...

I generally agree with regard to restaurants, but the break from the cooking and cleanup is something we come to welcome now and again. Personally, we have no debts, but... as you indicate, we are still in the world with many of it supposed privileges, whether want them or not.

I would not dream of it. I actually don't ask them for any dollars, but it's not unusual for them to give me a donation for doing the work for them. My wife and I are retired so it may buy us a dinner out somewhere. It may be in dollars as you say, but so long as people honor it as being worth...

Is there another philatelist among us? As to your questions, my own hobby of stamp collecting [for over 60 years] eventually got in the way of my walk with God. For nearly 10 years now, I am only working to sell them. [It provides a very small addition to my retirement income.] I do NOT add...

Yes, it would, but today is income tax day for a couple of people I help. They haven't called to cancel yet due to icy roads, so I am here on the computer reading and waiting. Ah and just I am writing this they send a message on our cell phone that they will not be daring the ice today...

When I started to get up this morning it was raining. Since it was the first substantial rain since September, it was welcome. Somewhere during the early morning hours it changed to an ice storm. That is not welcome as it makes it difficult and/or impossible to walk or to drive safely.

So then should not people read the Bible in order to find John 20:31 and any other verses which may be pertinent?

But, dear twinc, we do need to know what to believe and what not to believe. For some their our walk with God begins in the scriptures, while for others it begins elsewhere. Where exactly we are to walk depends upon what part of the Body of Christ God has called us to be.

Yes, I did notice, but my point was that you have been quick to say that our friend, @mjrhealth might not be a Christian. He may not have taken offence at that because so many who carry that label make no visible effort to be or to become Christ-like, which to me is what the word should mean...

You don't quite understand where our friend @mjrhealth is coming from... His ideas are definitely biblical, but not necessarily agreeing the logical conclusions you or others may be draw from the written scriptures. I'll write my own ideas here, with which he may or may agree. It does not come...

Thank you for your kind statement. Kindness is something that is absolutely necessary to charity [I Cor 13:4], but it can be quite difficult for people to manifest kindness one toward another. Therein is a problem on a forum like this where people are almost certainly going to encounter others...

Yes, but if a person really loves God and really is striving to stay on the Lord's side, would it not be in the right direction?

Yeah,guns are somewhat like the Internet and television...
