    Prayers needed for our aunt

    You got it! (Isaiah 40:29)

    Prayers needed for our aunt

    Anytime. I had almost adopted Aunt Myrtle as my own! We need each other to help bear burdens. The Lord is honored by that.

    Why is Church so Boring?

    You both are very sweet. I did let my emotions rule, though, and I know better. I get so disappointed in myself sometimes. I think of Romans 7 and it encourages me. If Paul had a hard time doing the right things and avoiding the wrong things, then I surely will too. Thanks for the words that...

    Why is Church so Boring?

    Well, I had an off day yesterday. I may have responded to something that wasn't even meant for me. I want to apologize because I broke my own rule. When I get upset, I need to wait before responding. I am a migraine sufferer and when I saw my mail and that I had a message from Christianity...

    Why is Church so Boring?

    marksman, I'm so glad you're able to look within someone and past their words to see heart intent, for that truly is a gift. And to also put words into someone else's mouth when you don't have a puppet and you're not a ventriloquist (Or you might be- let me not assume), now that takes talent...

    Question about heaven

    I'm not sure who you were responding to, but I do believe the 2 "men" were angels.So, what is meant by a "flaw" in someone's thinking. I truly don't understand.

    Prayers needed for our aunt

    To know we have the full confidence of an eternal home is so comforting. I'm sorry to hear of your loss, but I appreciate the faith of your attitude. Praise the Lord, for because He lives we too shall live!

    I agree with you.

    Why is Church so Boring?

    You know, marksman, I'm amazed at the people who say they use only the Word of God as their guide, but then they decide which part they render "worthy" of following. It's conditional. You say the OT isn't what we follow. Well, in Colossians 3:23, the scripture says to "work hard and cheerfully...

    My Mother...

    Father, thank you that you are a father in every sense of the word. You are the perfect picture of what a loving father should be. You don't just wait for us to come to you. At first sign of us making an effort in your direction, you run to us. I pray that my friend here and mom will remember...

    Prayers needed for our aunt

    Lord, your arms are so loving and kind. Please place them around Aunt Myrtle so that she feels totally enfolded by them. May she be surrounded by you and your angels at all times. You promised that your angels would encamp around us for our protection. We are always on your mind. You haven't...

    Bathe my family in prayer

    Thanks, Kriss. Sometimes you wonder if anyone is really praying. I hesitate to post prayer requests b/c it seems we'd rather discuss with each other than spend time talking to the Lord in each others' behalf. I'm saying that because I see so few responses to the prayer requests- myself included...

    Question about heaven

    Think about this too. Since the disciples had already seen Moses and Elijah on the Mount of Transfiguration, why would they have called the men in Acts 1:9-11 "two men in white apparel"? They would have called them by their names. This is purely speculative. Only a few hold to this theory.

    Question about heaven

    jb, did you actually go back and read Matthew 17:3? This is the event called the Transfiguration. It is totally different from Jesus' final ascension into heaven. This is when He was with His disciples after many religious leaders had questioned who He was and He had asked His own disciples who...

    Who are they?

    It's madam and thanks for posting what you did. We need to think on these things.

    much in one verse

    The verse is interesting, but I kept thinking of Revelation and the New Jerusalem. Check out Rev. 21: 22 that says, "But I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple." Then again in Ch. 22, verse 3, it says, "And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God...

    Who are they?

    "They" must be the goats, who assumed they were saved, but God didn't weigh the works of their hands alone, but looked at the motives of their hearts. Just as it says in 1 Corinthians, each work will be tried with fire and the ones with impure motives will be burned up. They will be done to no...

    NASA and the Bible

    The question is do we seriously think snopes is going to believe or even TRY to prove God's Word to be true? Our world today is scared to death to even allow Creationism to be taught in the public school systems. They hold on to the joke of The Big Bang/ evolution as though there is actual...

    Why is Church so Boring?

    eternalarcadia, I meant to respond to you earlier. I'm sorry I didn't. I shouldn't have let the other response take precidence over you. Never, never, never let anyone make you feel like you are less of a Christian because of your style of worship. The Psalmist said, "Be still and know that I am...

    Why is Church so Boring?

    Hello, marksman. I'm glad to know you are reading your Bible. I do respect your opinion. Everyone has one. But, I still do not think anything is wrong with paying a pastor for full-time ministry. Unless you have walked alongside them or been a family member to one of them, you haven't a clue as...
