@JesusIsFaithful For your information, the first Bible I ever read was the KJV. It is still the only version I read and study regularly in English. Give God the glory as you search for more of Him!

Give God the glory my friend!

As God directs so I try to do. I will consider and pray about your suggestion. Unfortunately there are reasons why I don't already in the present congregation that have nothing to do with my abilities in music... but as I said I will give it some more serious consideration. God always knows the...

"A dime a dozen" meaning cheap or common is a poor choice of idioms here considering what she really went through. Remember the case of Jesus and his followers? Consider Peter. First he speaks well and Jesus calls him blessed: "He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter...

I skimmed the actual article but slowed down to read this part more carefully as it focused on one problem I certainly recognized. "One of the hindrances to living the Christian life successfully is failure to understand what the Bible teaches on the nature of sin and perfection. A grave...

Sometimes people are working in God's order even if when asked about it they deny it because they don't know what is meant. Some people need to understand the details of God's order because of their particular calling [what part they are in the Body of Christ] but others simply need to, and...

@Mayflower Welcome to the forum. May you be enriched here by contact with some of God's people!

Thanks for the encouragement. I will take as it comes, one day at the time, one moment at the time. I am really content most of the time with things as they are. I might sometimes wish for fewer problems with shortness of breath, but thank God that most of the time when I have wanted to play my...

My only sharing of the harmonica is usually for birthdays in our little coffee group. I will play the "happy birthday" song for the special person while my wife will prepare whatever kind of cake or pie that person prefers. Birthday person's choice. Other than that while I usually often have one...

Do we all get everything that we want? Nonetheless I will try to fill in a few blanks hopefully without causing any additional unnecessary confusion I don't know about my great knowledge. So often I read things or at least scan them on this forum that seem to be way over my head or foreign to...

Give God the glory!

I also have a little music ability. I haven't played in church services in years, but I still play my piano at home almost daily for at least a short while. I also play my harmonicas. The harmonicas [7 keys plus two chromatics] I have favored over the piano but I easily get out of breath so...

I think you knew that I knew that. My point was that when a person is called by God into His ministry, his guidelines are not the same as those who are not. That much of a type or shadow may be seen in the Levites as they were supposed to be in their time.

@APAK There is that 100% again. Let me say that when the old man is completely and finally dead [no more sin, nothing more in the world to overcome, no more men’s ways within us to tempt us] then we will be 100% of something very good as God initially made in all “very good” [Gen 1:31]...

@APAK They would be and have been delivered from death to Life. Jesus opened the Way to Life and we see it beginning to happen in Acts chapter 2: “And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there...

I like your answer except for the assumption or presumption that we can never attain the 100% while in the flesh... in other words your final sentence. What is 100%? It is all of something. When we speak of the things of man, there may be a 100% mark of something as for instance a student...

@Truth Also joining in prayer for your wife and you.

You have perhaps come to the wrong conclusion. The point is that in many places there are preachers or teachers who in spite of preparation have not talked to God about it and what they say while perhaps logical as man counts logical are as you say dead, because God was not really involved in...

Well, I consider that they were used to each other and depended on each other. He was dying anyway. She wanted him to enjoy what he enjoyed in spite of the danger of it. He effectively begged her to give him that... and she did. Your opinion is apparently based on just the physical part as if...

My wife has really been accident prone and sickly since I met her back in 1971. She was always cutting herself or breaking a bone or allergic to something or just sick with whatever bug was going around but it was usually something we were able to handle. Around 1990 she moved into a severe...
