Joining with you in prayer for Jonathan!

I believe I know the solution and unfortunately some of the ministers engaged in error do as well, but they are unwilling to exchange the visible success [a worldly or carnal success, which is really no success] to preach and teach the truth which they do know. For example most churches stop...

I understand your point and it seems we really do agree although our words may not have communicated it very well. I am reminded of the differences between King Saul and King David in ancient Israel. David would have been a shadow or type of where Paul was after his conversion. David was...

Where I have attended for the past 30 years [2 different assemblies] there has been no democracy. In the first place the man in place was definitely as I see it in the wrong place. He was called by God, but not as a pastor. In the second place the man in place was called by God and he is the...

I would suggest the person who sees that stay connected to God and directed by Him. Sometimes God may want us to stay to retain something of truth [assuming that that is what we are] in the midst of hypocrisy and/or lies and/or ignorance. On the other hand God may tell us to leave to a place to...

I don't want to be on either side really, but something in me [the "old man" methinks] would like to see more people back away from the NFL for better reasons. This is really unlikely to happen for long. People are like that in the flesh, and too often they also let the ways of their flesh...

In too many places they already have the right to vote pastors in or out. I under how and why such a thing occurred, but I still disagree with it. Where in scripture do we see support for majority rule? Jesus would have been voted out during the last part of his ministry for certain. The truth...

I really did not attempt to wade through all of this. If a person must understand all of this in order to walk with God rightly then perhaps it is more understandable why so many don't even try.

There used to be more good around, at least in the churches, but as the scripture puts it... "A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump." Gal 5:9 One one good thing I saw [not so much any more], was the pastor, even if he missed the point sometimes, was usually in place because he was given the...

Just keep on smiling!

I know that you were serious in all of this reply, but LOL I did have to laugh as I read it. :D

What positive thing can we say about this? :(:eek:o_O

I see the Rock, cut without hands as something that comes out of what is commonly called Christianity. Lots of people in that Christendom but not so many are among those "cut out". God is more particular than people and church organizations. Jesus is to be the Head, so what kind of a Body should...

I remember when I was a student in college, resenting the preferential treatment accorded some athletes who really were worse students than I was. [I did terribly in high school unless it was something I liked and most things on the agenda I did not like. I did better in the college the second...

Amen, dear Sister! Give God the glory!

My experiences were not precisely like yours, but at times remarkably close. It was part of the learning process God put my wife and me through... We have traveled some since then but we are still on the road. She never wore much make up and stopped when we entered the UPC. She had seldom worn...

Giving God always the glory! He is the Healer in every case.

The different degrees are as men see them. With this we are stuck and with this we must deal. Fortunately, God is really no respecter of persons.

Each of us must live our life and bear the memories which are a part of that life as well as move on from day to day. You are here and from what I am able to see you have chosen to serve God. That speaks volumes with regard to your present situation. I could never be actively anti-gun even...

"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" Rom 3:23 The problem of course that in man's eye some sins are worse than others. But Paul also wrote under inspiration, I believe: "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Rom...
