Wayne,
God does still heal. I do know of people healed from various ailments, some instantly, some over time.
I believe God has blessed us with doctors and medicines too. Luke in the Bible was a...

A Christian is to be set apart from the world. Exactly what that means is debatable. I have heard all ranges of ideas on this matter. You could do the things you said - more Bible reading, church and...

AMEN!!! This is how we are to live.

Barter sounds good. A former pastor used to tell us things would get so bad we'd put the dog out to work. I'm wishing right now we could do that...

Thanks everyone. I have certainly learned some things. My prayer of course is that my son continues to serve the Lord and grows in him. I don't care that he is a survivalist as long as he learns to...

Thank you. These are my concerns.

I have listened to my son for quite a while about being a survivalist. I knew he wasn't saved at the time and was looking to himself. Now that he is saved, I still believe its okay to be a...

First, I am a spirit-filled Christian who does believe in end-time prophecy. I have not focused on the end time prophecy, though I am fairly familiar with it. I never saw it as a problem, because I...

Boo,

I have not been posting on this board in quite some time due to college work and trials that have had my attention. I have been back lately and have also felt there is a lull in posting. It...

There we go-- that scripture certainly applies here. It really is a joy to serve the Lord.

The explanation given by Induseason is good - I just want to add to it a little. The obedience really does overtake the fear. Its not really a fear like one might think of fear in the natural. I see...

I do not wish to get into any debates here. If I understood correctly, my pastor said this morning there are something like 2000 different denominations that call themselves Christians. I am in...

Bandit,
That is a beautiful account of your experience with that verse. You called it a personal verse. My pastor calls them gems. He says we should all have gems in our pockets, little nuggets that...

Bandit,

I don't know the Lord's plan for your life, but remember the Lord is our keeper too. He will keep you. I know from experience its hard not to worry about such a situation and try to figure...

Chiming in kind of late, but

1. I agree with RabbiKnife - the biggest struggle is to overcome the damage done by the false gospel that is out there.

2. In a healthy church you have believers at...

I work in education and I come across ethics issues too. We have to pray about every circumstance and represent them in a way that doesn't compromise our beliefs. My husband managed an auto repair...

Awe, these are things we need to share aren't they? As someone who struggles with words these days, I understand your concern, but I think you worded that perfectly. Thank you for the reminder. As...

Thank you Scooby Snacks. I just heard the song that says "Thru it all, thru it all. If I had never had a problem, I wouldn't know God could solve them. Through it all, through it all, I've learned to...

Jeanne,
Thanks for your encouragement. I have been looking at the original post over and over, not sure how to respond. Then after the recent services, I really felt led to post all of that. It is...

Where's the like button? I don't believe I have ever thought about this before. You're right, how could a mere man have known?

This is amazing to think about.

Praise the Lord!

I see this post is quite old, but hope someone will benefit from what I have to share. Its a sort of testimony I guess. If you are a child of God, don't ever give in to those feelings that God is not...

Thank you. I've been checking back and keep seeing yet another response. I felt like I understood this chapter, but when I read this verse I felt like there was more to what I was getting out of it....

So, I am on the right track. This makes sense. Thank you.

For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.
1 Corinthians, 4:20, KJV

I read this chapter yesterday, and to some extent I feel I understand it, but I just...

Restore unto me the joy of my salvation....
Here is a beautiful song I found online. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFlgIk7CXbs

There was a time that I felt that somewhere down the line, I lost...

You know, looking to your original post, I believe you are sorry for what you did and you realize it has affected others. Satan has a way of reminding us of our sin, even when the Lord has forgiven...

Maybe there's something I'm not understanding, but what I'm getting out of your post is you made some mistakes and you are disappointed you have taken longer to work through your degree program than...

DigginDeeper put simply some very IMPORTANT advice. You can do this through faith. You have to look past the hurt and look down the road and the desired outcome. Know that God can use this...
