    Do you love God with all your heart?

    In the series of five YouTube videos, Do you love God with all your heart? I invite you to think through a group of interrelated questions in order to help you identify if you are truly loving God with all your heart. God bless you as you hear. That meditation helped me drive home some of the...

    Knowing and Believing

    Knowing God as in "if anyone wants to glorify let him glorify him that he as the intelligence of knowing me" (Jeremiah, paraphrased from memory and mentioned in that video). Knowing God has nothing to do with wishful thinking, as some people seem to think when they say : your religion is just a...

    Knowing and Believing

    About 10 years ago I was impressed with a comment made by a high profile TV journalist in the context of a documentary series where the various world religions, contemporary jewism, and branches of the Christian church were scrutinized. Much attention was given to the external expressions of...

    How do you hear the "still, small, voice"?

    The book 4 Keys to Hearing God's Voice, by Mark and Patti Virkler, from Communion With God Ministries, was helpful to me indeed, and so did, and so did A Guide for Listening and Healing Prayer, by Rusty Rustenbach. You don't have to agree with everything in these books to learn a little from...

    How do you hear the "still, small, voice"?

    As reported by @Frank Lee, there are situations when a strong inner conviction is the basis for my own actions, and then, the results are often astonishing. Also, as reported by @Willie T, sometimes these are also accompanied by a thought in my mind about something to do right now. One example...

    How do you hear the "still, small, voice"?

    I took part in a two-day training seminar given by our senior pastor. It was based on 4 Keys to Hearing God's Voice, by Mark and Patti Virkler, from Communion With God Ministries. These training seminars were not strictly speaking a presentation of the book and accompanying handouts, but was...

    Do We Have a Leader’s Heart?

    As you read the article -- Do we Have a Leader's Heart? -- and as you are meditating upon the leader’s heart as demonstrated by Paul in Scriptures, let us ask a few questions about where we ourselves stand with this respect. What sort of inner attitudes do we carry toward people under our...

    Overcoming Doubt?

    Hello @Miss Hepburn, thank you for asking. I realize I made it sound like that, but that was not my intended meaning. So let me rephrase myself as follows: «Please share with us what you do to counter doubt when you are faced with it in your own life». There are three things I have done. Here...

    Overcoming Doubt?

    Do we allow some of our modes of reasoning to suppress faith from our lives? Why not ask God to help us find ways of countering doubts about the faithfulness of His promises? You may consult this article in its original context: Overcoming Doubt? at Savoir et croire .ca (Knowing and Believing)...

    By Strength or by the Spirit?

    Thank you. As you can see, my avatar is no longer fuzzy :cool:, although it is tinier :confused:, which is OK :eek:, as far as I am concerned o_O. For a larger version, visit my FaceBook page, where you will also be able to see a picture of my wife and I on vacations :rolleyes:. God bless and...

    By Strength or by the Spirit?

    Could someone with administrative rights replace the fuzzy picture from my profile with the one that was cleaned up in the earlier responses to this thread?

    By Strength or by the Spirit?

    «Then he [the angel, Zechariah 4:1] said to me [the prophet Zechariah], "This is what the Lord says to Zerubbabel: It is not by force nor by strength, but by my Spirit, says the Lord of Heaven's Armies. Nothing, not even a mighty mountain, will stand in Zerubbabel's way; it will become a level...

    Hope for Married Couples Tempted to Despair

    I'd like to share a testimony of how God worked in my life, and in my marriage. My wife and I spent a number of years in a situation that could too often have been described as more painful than joyful, yet we both remained faithful to one another.... Can Married Couples Be Restored?

    BIBLE PROMISES

    Hello Rachel, There was a period of time in my life when I could not figure out why things happened the way they did. I felt like Job must have felt, except that I did not feel I was as righteous as he was. My period of trial and misunderstanding lasted much longer than I would have considered...

    Making a WordPress Site Interactive using bbPress and BuddyPress?

    Hello HammerStone and readers of this thread at ChristianityBoard, All the enhanced commenting solutions or bridges based on WordPress I tried led to one or more of the following problems: (1) they were too complex for me to understand or required coding I did not know how to implement; (2)...

    Twitter

    I'd like to provide an update to my earlier post on this thread, dated April 2015. I am now using twitter on a regular basis as a means, on the one hand, to promote new material available on my web site, on the other hand, to discover like-minded persons who are promoting their services or...

    Is belief in the existence of God irrational?

    Hello Kepha and OzSpen, I just read with great interest both your articles just now. I appreciate what Professor John Lennox says on the short 10 minute video OzSpen points to in the above post. For example, (1) the Christian World View provided the logical background for the rise of science...

    Sensitivity, Respect, and Love Toward Others is Part and Parcel of the Christian Message

    How would you respond to Sean MacDowell's article Why I Love Atheists! ? My own answer is expressed through this OP's title: "Sensitivity, Respect, and Love Toward Others is Part and Parcel of the Christian Message."
