    Behold! The Lord is doing a new thing: He shall tell his disciples how and why He remembers and trusts them (hosanna!)

    Hi there, So I thought I would encourage you, by writing down the news of the Lord, as soon as it was revealed to me. The Lord is doing a new thing! The Lord shall tell His disciples how and why He remembers and trusts them. This is a way of developing quietness and confidence (Isaiah 30:15) in...

    The World is struggling to be consistently selfish - the flesh is making it hard, for them to believe even in themselves (pray)

    Hi there, So the Bible says that in future, people will be lovers of themselves. The thing is that, at the moment, people in the World are struggling to be selfish, let alone lovers (of themselves). It's a great opportunity for Witness, that we pray that they learn to be complete, part of which...

    Each successive Heaven, is more by faith than the last (selah)

    Hi there, So yes, just thinking about Heaven and falling back on Paul's suggestion that it is possible for someone to be caught up to the third Heaven, it behooves us to think on how the Heavens work. Something that is fairly self-evident, is that each successive Heaven, is more by faith than...

    Hello to you, Disclaimer - I can always be wrong on anything you may read. Yesterday, decided to look up some of the scriptures that deal with the Spirit of Christ, which has been talked about all the way back start in the book of Isaiah in the Old Testament, and even in Ephesians which was a...

    How to respond to the idea, that Christ is being slowed down, by a believer? Like how would you respond to the guilt, that your work is unfinished?

    Hi there, So something you may not know about me, but I have a habit of mulling questions of the faith, over in my mind. I basically do a stress test "do I believe enough?" "how would I express that faith differently?" I want a tight, easy to grasp relationship with God, with Jesus. But I was...

    This______is your life.

    Hi folks. I'd like to get to know the YOU better. Myself. I grew up very poor in a mixed neighborhood of other very poor folks.

    For there is no difference for all have sinned.

    Sin is a hot topic for a lot of people today because of our flesh naturally enjoys to be appeased. However, with-in us is our soul (Heart/mind/will/emotion), is also what affects the choices in which in which an individual chooses to do whatever they will with their flesh. However what does it...

    The First Church Bride of Christ - A Family of believers.

    Through out the Bible there is talk about the First church bride of Christ. That was the first united people of faith who were sold out Christians and gave up their lives to live for God and to love their fellow neighbor which included also sharing the good news of Jesus with others. In that day...

    Prosperity ... Does the Bible Teach it?

    Let’s get this issue settled. Let's first define what prosperity is. We can think of it as flourishing, thriving, succeeding with good fortune, success in social circles, basically achieving what you set your heart out to achieve. Our lot in life isn't for all of us to prosper financially, to...

    Don't just crucify your sin, crucify your faith!

    Hi there, So yes I have been dwelling on how to increase my faith, what to believe, how to believe it: what I have come up with, is that taking up the cross, is about more than just sin and the confession of it. What I have come up with, is that faith itself, needs to face the cross. Jesus went...

    A mature Christian, makes work a priority (selah). Discuss.

    Hi there, So there is a simple point here, that I think people have tried to nail for some time, but which is expressly easier to interpret with the help of the Holy Spirit. We are not saved by works, but once maturity is reached, the decision to make "works" a 'priority' is foreknown...

    Is it possible that we ask God, for dreams that help save the lives of people we meet?

    Hi there, So I am a strong believer in the idea that God can give dreams to people. In faith, what I would like to ask, is that God give dreams that help save the lives of people we meet - and by faith I mean, that even the dreams of others could have the power to save. The idea is that you a)...

    As a rule, "partially right, most of the time" is moral.

    Hi there, So I wanted to present a model for morality that is different from utilitarianism and deontology. That model is simply: Gottservant said: Essentially, it builds on an experience of trying to be moral. It does not need specific instructions or specific consequences, but adapts...

    Scriptures pertaining to Christ's grace.

    Perhaps you will find something encouraging here. Luke 2:40 New King James Version 40 And the Child grew and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him. John 1:17 New King James Version 17 For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came...

    Having God's eyes : is the KEY

    = When a person is born again, they enter eternal spiritual union with Christ, and they become dead to the law, for Christ is the end of the law to/for everyone who is born again. Are you born again and not just water baptized and religious? Then im talking to you. The born again become dead...

    Is it possible to get my faith back?

    Trigger warning: abuse, other themes Sorry for the long read. I made an account on this forum specifically to ask my fellow Christians for help. I hope none of this comes off as rant-ish, I posted this because I need help with my faith. My life has always been a mess and for the past ten years...

    Do forums increase your faith?

    I was on another "Christian " forum but it seemed there were more atheists and agnostics than Christians. Even most of the Christians there are evolutionists. It put me constantly defending my faith. On this forum the issue has been the deity of Christ. Does talking about these things increase...
