Ten days in. Prayers up. Feet down. How’s the fit @AlwaysOnAJourney?

“Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he also will reap.” (Galatians 6:7, NASB)

As with all addictions, seek help from above.

My mind has returned several times to this thread. The situation we’re confronted with in the OP is a distressing one. This passage in 2 Corinthians has helped to calm my mind. I offer it for consideration by those who have taken this topic seriously and felt similarly stressed over it. “and...

I love that you mention a morning routine. Often working people are in a hurry in the morning and don’t have time - or take time to make time - to read and pray before they move into the activities of the day. Thank you and @Wynona for speaking about it. I’m certain you’ve provided comfort...

All scripture needs to be properly interpreted. Sound theology - biblically based theology - is derived from the proper interpretation of scripture, including Ecclesiastes. My admonition to readers: Derive your theology from Ecclesiastes - and from all scripture.

Thank you. I’m absolutely delighted to have you here with us! The user name was available and it’s an easier form. I like both forms and will answer to either. Still hoping to meet up with you in person some day, be it in this age or in the age to come. :)

I think Satan is well aware of what is written in Revelation 20, just as he is aware of what is written everywhere else in scripture. As for him shutting up, he speaks for the time being because God allows him to; it serves a purpose. Let him speak as God allows him to, for as long as God...

The proverbial saying is that a cold heart is a dead heart. My emendation is that a cold heart is a dead testimony. * What the Messiah himself believes and teaches is “my Father and your Father, my God and your God” is the one God. That is my warm heart testimony to men whose hearts are warm...

This is representative of the kind of thinking which causes me to seriously doubt that I could ever be a trinitarian again.

“I have said these things to you so that in me you may have peace. In the world you have affliction, but have courage! I have conquered the world.” (John 16:33, LEB)

“The problem is that most of us have never been taught how to read and interpret the Bible as such. And this has led to the number-one mistake most everyone makes reading the Bible. And that mistake is this: we don’t read the Bible in its original context.” (Brad Gray, The #1 Mistske Most...

“Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God, believe also in me.” (John 14:1, NRSV) “Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me.” (John 14:1, NLT) I put my confidence, my trust, my belief in God, and also in the Son of God.
