I do understand your meaning and must admit my misstatement. I was really intending to speak in jest which sometimes is really not wise.The laughter belongs to God any time any one of us even hints at mocking Him in our foolishness. I do apologize.

Nothing good is likely to happen if we are not "sent". If we are "sent" and we are obedient, then it would of course be good regardless of any interim or final results to our flesh. It is always good to be prepared and to obey. This is my only point. If we agree on it then we are OK as well in...

When we were young in the flesh, immorality existed, but public discussion of it was suppressed or even completely disallowed. The devil wanted an open forum and now he has one in many more places than he did earlier in our lives. One way or the other it is likely and you and I will not be...

Is it a matter of asking him, or inviting him in when he is knocking on our door? Do we not hear him when he is knocking on the door to our heart? "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me...

"Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled." Matt 5:6 When we are hungry enough and thirsty enough for righteousness we will not open the way [make the hole] so that God can enter into our hearts and fill us.

I am not bbyrd009, but I do think you are not understanding where he is in God. What is the Word of God? Is it not Jesus? The Bible is good book, but in the hands of an avowed atheist, how much Life does it have in it? None as the body of flesh of Jesus had no Life in a moment after he said, "It...

I checked that I "liked" this post of yours, but that is not technically true. I agreed with it, but I did not really like it, if you understand, which I believe that you do.

I recall vividly the son of friend. At about 30 years old he committed suicide. He was always a wonderful young man, but women took advantage of him and discouraged him. He figured out a way to put a plastic bag over his head and secure his wrists in a way with plastic ties so that he was...

LOL Was it simply the typo of a frail fallible human [immoral for immortal] or was it a prediction that everyone would be without morals by the year 2045? At the rate mankind is going away from God, 2045 may a reasonable negative goal line. Of course, I do usually stir clear such positive dates...

@DanielGarneau Give God the glory my friend! Over 40 years ago God also saved my marriage. My wife and I just celebrated 45 years this past June.

@aspen Praying for you.

The Church, however, is not the organized structure or framework, but rather is the people themselves. The foundation is Jesus himself. "For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ." I Cor 3:11 The Church is the house built without hands on that foundation...

@pia As you say, our cross should not be heavy. The yoke with the Lord is easy and His burden is light, but man too often tries to ride the fence to get the best of both worlds: the world of the flesh and the Kingdom of God. Many years ago when I was new to the Lord's Way, the brother whose...

Each step toward the top requires our consent and our effort, even though those things alone will never get us there. Jesus provided the means and all the help we could need is available, but we must make the decisions even to ask for the necessary help. The covering is there. We read in...

Of course I have heard those definitions before, but what I believe is something, to me, more biblical for it is really found throughout the scriptures. I have scarcely scratched the surface, but God is not finished with yet. "For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I...

The Lord has led me to places at times in my life when I needed something I was not getting. The places were short-lived but nonetheless while I was there, I was given something good from God. I have been at my present location for longer than anywhere else but I am seeing that soon it also may...

I would not call them kingdoms although some might. I call them the three heavens. Each one is closer to God than where we were when we were born to our natural mothers. There are fairly direct references to third heaven in the NT. One is here: 2Co 12:2 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen...

Amen! Just so! Give God the glory!

That is a whole very long testimony which I have written down many times in many places. I will submit it later on this forum. As to why I did not return to the RCC, it is because of how God brought me out of my sinful life and placed in a series of experiences so that I could grow in Him. It is...

We are to be the Light that Jesus was, but Jesus went away. He sent to us the Comforter, the Holy Ghost, so we could the Light in His place: "As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world." John 9:5 "And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee...
