Me being right would leave you in a difficult position. On the other hand, while making me wrong according to your understanding might make you feel better for the moment, ultimately it would not change a thing. If reality were only a compilation of what we are able to perceive with the five...

God's message is always clear to an open heart, but all of us keep closing our hearts. We all need His help even in keeping our hearts open.

It is a nearly continuous testimony if we simply do not quench the Spirit. I will write one thing here I learned from the man who won me to the Lord anew over 40 years ago: "It is easy to live for God hard, but it hard to live for God easy." Lots of things learned and forgotten since that...

I would say it is the priorities we give things that make a difference or even the difference. The preceding verse applies: "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Matt 6:33 We can make our plans for our tomorrows, but they...

But even so probably every one who reads these posts already has plans for tomorrow. Can we have such plans and still be where God wants us to be doing what God wants us to do?

There is truth in what you say. I have always loved dogs because they do the right thing without thinking about it. They are criticized because they don't always do what people think is the right thing. Perhaps if dogs could talk they would really tell us how it is like Balaam's donkey.

"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

"...not as I will, but as thou wilt." Matt 26:39 The "I" is the man of flesh and the "thou" is God.

What we need to be is what God wants us to be at all times. As we may already have discovered that is not such an easy task. Actually, without God's help it is one of those impossible things. When we are really walking with God, I believe that our cup is then overflowing, which means we have...

@Frank Lee Good and correct words. "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Matt 6:33 If we are really putting always first things first, at least as God sees them what will we be lacking that is necessary? Not one thing...

Of course when we use only our brain the doubts and questions will arise, but for those who have communicated with God on the matter we know the answer even though it may be unacceptable to those who have not. Your question has an answer and you knew it before you asked even though you...

God really does know and sometimes He shares the knowledge with us.

As you know, I really want out the boat I am in... even though on the surface it seems better than the others. This "seems better" also get me into trouble at times with God, because I find myself wanting to take sides. Oh yes, the sides exist and too often both sides are missing God, at least...

In the world, there too often are no realistic or reasonably suitable alternatives. What does a 6 year do when he is being bullied at school if no one is paying attention to or believing any complaints he might venture to make? Living for God, if we are, will give us a different perspective...

Too many people have not learned to admit the possibility that they are wrong on even things that they absolutely certain they have right. This, as I believe it [LOL, am I possibly wrong?] is the needed pliability for God to redirect us to something more correct or even to show us we are very...

Amen!

That is it, but it not so simple because people seem to have other options at the moment. People do ride the fence trying to take the lukewarm way of the Laodicean church [Rev 3:16]. God puts up with that kind of nonsense for a while, but is there not a limit to his longsuffering with our ways...

Oh yes, many things are right out of the Book, but look what men have done with those things. How many supposedly Christian denominations are there now based on the Bible? Over 40,000 last I heard. The answers I have are well trusted or not, even by me.This is why it comes back to walking by...

It is still both allowed and encouraged where I attend, but fewer and fewer people take advantage of the opportunity given to stand and ask a question any more during a service and even to interrupt in the middle of someone's message to ask a question about the message. Are believers losing...

NO, sister, you are telling how it should be everywhere. Everywhere, including the place I worship, has men either controlling or working to gain control [this last being my present situation as my pastor move slowly toward the end of his course]. Men do not trust God enough to let go of the...
