Praying!

"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 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 6:33-34

Probably all of us have difficulty with one thing or the other. If it is not Islam, it may well be Catholicism and Pentecostalism or Mormonism, etc. But God does not look just to the doctrine or the religious group we are with [if any], but at our hearts. God will speak to any open and hungry...

No reason to be sorry. All of us at times want to argue because all of us believe we are correct. My point was simply that God is the One who changes a person's mind and heart if the person is open to the truth. God may or may not use you or me to do that. We do need to be available and ready so...

@Brock Praying according to God's will for the situation.

Indeed, she lived to be 90 years old. The largest mortuary in the city was packed to overflowing with those who loved her coming from all over the United States. Yet at the end her husband's care was foremost in her mind and heart.

Even so! This is why sometimes when we cite only one verse of scripture, we get into trouble. God put into the scriptures all that a person needs to receive all of the understanding he needs. The problem is frequently the understanding of the scriptures themselves. Consider the following verse...

With anyone, be they Catholic or Protestant or Mormon or Muslim? "I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase." I Cor 3:6-7

Yes, God allows it, but in connection with that is there not also a responsibility? "But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment." Matt 12:36 Posting words here is effectively speaking. As God looks at what we said and...

Ah yes, and in expressing some of those opinions, people are led by the Holy Spirit while in others they are not. We are supposed to be able to recognize His voice, and yet many times we do not but we go ahead and presume and say, without knowing, that what we are saying is of and from God...

Many years ago when I was still working full-time one man filed for his monthly Social Security checks but decided to help out his debt ridden Uncle Sam by donating his checks back to the government. He took the paper checks [no direct deposit in those days] each month to the local Social...

You must get very tired in the long cold snowy winters. At least we get breaks even during winter from the severe cold. What I now dread tis he approach of summer. We simply have to learn to be content with whatever we get...

Your cold front is moving steadily south toward Oklahoma. After having quite bit of Spring like weather that cold from Canada will hit us on Sunday. In the AM it will be in the mid 40's but then by afternoon it will have dropped down toward freezing mark [32F] again.

In the USA churches may elect a tax exempt status with the IRS [Internal Revenue Service] under section 501(c)(3) of the IRC [Internal Revenue Code] Most, but not all, churches have done so. Similarly a minister has had special provisions where he might have elected not to pay personal income or...

But, some people really do not know when politics is involved and therefore are unable to identify it as such. Among "religious" folk this might correctly be called "delusion".

Right and anyone who doesn't go along may then be designated as: Not a Christian. Those designated non-Christians may then lose their exemptions and deductions for tax purposes if they took any. This makes the visible or invisible true Church a bit smaller, does it not? Perhaps in time those...

She was a dear lady and took good care of him during 66 years of marriage. He misses her, but to this day I do not believe he really understands everything she was doing for him. His memory is poor these days. As with most of us he remembers better things from long ago than things from...

Absolutely! Jesus spoke also in tongues, when he told a parable for which only a few were given understanding.

Give God the glory!

You will have to explain. I have understood you saw a difference in the two, nation and country, but remember that everyone's vocabulary and experience and understanding is not the same. Help me out. Yes, very similar to tongues, and again that is one where some people, [as I am sure you know]...
