meaning

Hi there, So this is just a little proverb that has helped me a lot over the years. It is not meant to replace proper psychiatric advice, just contextualize what it is we struggle with, when we struggle with madness. Indeed madness is often confused with psychosis, we don't necessarily see...

Hi there, So there are two specific things, that are an encouragement to us, while we dwell on Earth. These two things, the Holy Spirit gives, as consolation to us, for having faith in the Christ and His Resurrection. The first is simple: we simply do not enjoy sin, any more. Our sin is, as it...

Hi there, So this was a popular thread, back when I was posting on another board: Name something you like about a denomination (of Church) other than your own! I would post something myself, but I don't want to prejudice others' ideas. Are they (the other Churches) pro-active? Organized...

Hi there, So this is a thorny problem for me. I have known for some time that Ray Comfort preaches that the sinner needs to be convicted of the Law, before they are offered Salvation. That approach seemed fine to me, for some time, but I never really felt great about approaching people about...

Hi there, So I wanted to post this thread, mostly for myself (at least to begin with). I frequently have doubts, that I am living the Christian faith and I have concerns about arbitrary acts of faith, that don't have a standard of some kind. One of those standards that I think applies, is how...

Hi there, So it occurs to me that there is a link between being a slave to sin and the pressure we feel to act, under the influence of sin. Basically we become slave to sin, hoping to gain the strength of God without God. In doing so, we discover that we do get some strength, and we can see it...

Hi there! So the Bible isn't so much for 'old age', it talks more about the young not growing weary and the elderly having dreams - which granted is important, but I would like something that gives context to the importance of old age in general. "The child reaching a hundred shall be blessed"...

Hi there, So there is a clear line of interpretation between what God did on the cross, and what happened at the resurrection. Jesus became sin. That is the short of it; but also, "that we might become the righteousness of God" (2 Cor 5:21). The point is that there is a continuity between what...

Hi there! So I have been growing in faith, as I continue to commit to the good life, for God's sake and I have learnt to interpret the work of the Holy Spirit as strength, understanding and meaning (all of which I want to share). The lessons I have learned are very important, because they add...

Hi there, So I have never really understood the phrase "Jesus is God"; I knew for example that Jesus humbled Himself, even when He could have claimed He was God - but I thought to myself "If He doesn't want to be known, as God, how can He be God?" You can see that I would be in a fix, if I...

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...

Hi there, So I have had a very easy light life, born to a rich family, given a good education, everything supplied. However, I never understood what kind of relationship I had with God. I had in a sense given up on salvation, not because I hated it, but because I wanted something more. This...

Hi there, So "Evolution" has become a sort of black box to me - I don't really know what to say to something that is essentially an unpredictable double pendulum; it neither recognises male and female, nor does it predict survivability, for example. But I started to draw on scripture and think...

I have been a follower for 7 years and i have found great solace in the Word of God and Jesus but at present i fail to see the meaning of my life, it seems pointless and like it has gone by so quickly :(, Dear God why am i Here? why was i Created? I want to be a faithful servant and make you...

The name of the son of the Creator is Yahush(a)o, Yahush(a)o means "Eternal Savior". But if we look at the meanings of the letters, we recognize a different meaning: The first four letters Yahu are the name of the creator which means "Eternal", the letter sh means destroy and the last silent...
