still struggling but I know God spoke to me through this devotional I read this a.m. so wanted to share it. As some of you know, I have gotten into a great fitness and nutrition "mode". But I have slacked off in the most important area of my life. I needed to hear this and I pray that if someone else is where I am, it will help them as well. God bless each of you, love in Christ, denise

Sometimes non-christians will ask me "why" do I believe in God. It's so hard for me to answer someone that has already made up their mind there is no God. If they knew my life before I came to believe though, they might just not only see why I believe, but they may even want to consider reaching

I like this NLT version of 1 Cor. 10:23. I just understand it better, but Skip has used another version of the bible on this one(the KJV which I beleive is most accurate to the original writings. Jesus didn't come to do away with the law given to Moses. He came to fulfill it because God knew humans didn't stand a snow-balls chance on their own.
