My parents when I was growing up (like 40 years ago) were struggling. My mother sort of believed but my dad was a drunk, at least on weekends, like every weekend. We were messed up and it was only getting worse. My mother said, one day he (dad) will have his last drink, it may be when they bury...

I think the answer is better explained (at least to me) this way. We are joyful and full of peace when we are being/doing/living in the right place. A dog naturally wags its tail when its in a family where it belongs where GOD put it. A tree naturally gives shade and life when its planted where...

Hey brother Ben, Do you feel turmoil / lack of peace if you don't do it as well? Sometimes we as folks can be un-easy about things, and bothered and GOD wants us to get over our fears (in LOVE and GOD is LOVE, there is no fear). So its not the tension that is GOD saying don't do it rather our...

I would just add, that Grace doesn't change or get reduced - its impossible. In fact we are reminded when sins increase, GRACE multiplies even more! So, more of it not less. (especially when we are at our worst) Romans 5:10 And I think of the idea of the smaller church, its telling you that...

Hey Aiki If its your actual B-Day, then have a fun and blessed one. Its good to enjoy family and get-togethers, times of refreshing the Scripture says. And I sincerely hope you have birthday to remember. And I guess that is the question I have regarding "senses" and "flesh" as your blog...

Don't know if what I'm saying here "helps" much, but having raised (My better half and myself) 2 boys, and not always knowing what's good to watch. What we would do, if there was either cartoons (when younger) or movies when older, if there was a moment in the movie where there was something to...

Agreed, but I think GOD speaks the clearest, or rather we see HIM (clearest) when we are in the storm. In fact, HE comes to us in the storm. -eric

Dear Far Side, A couple thoughts. Sorry 3 1. There are times in any good relationship that there is no need for talking and explaining just relaxing and "being". Same with us and GOD. Learn to accept there are times like that - and its cool. 2. Scripturally we are reminded that GOD who is SPIRIT...

We've all heard prayer is "talking with GOD". When younger your parents did their best to help you speak and where ecstatic when you babbled your first word. But that is just the first part, certainly if we stay there (in that young state) we wouldn't get too far in life. Later we not only have...

I agree with JohnNZ and tturt. excellent Spirit lead thoughts I would add, just as a parenting rule of thumb - is never question your spouse in front of the children about how they disciplined or critical of them in anyway. All then enemy will do is divide and pit the two (parents) against...

Good Morning sister Again, those thoughts are not YOUR thoughts, in fact you don't want them! So the battle continues..really its no battle because you are already victorious (you just can't see it, because your faith (at times) wobbles, and you are basing your ideas on what you see) really...

1) everyone hears voice/thoughts 2) you are not weird or alone (in this) 3) you haven't sinned more than GRACE can handle 4) you are un-conditionally loved right where you are - even now. 5) it is impossible for anything but GOD and HEAVEN to be your destiny. Ah, but that voice keeps gnawing...

Part of the problem is, what we think is Christian living is really Churchianity. Its the 'religious' realm but not the Kingdom. Its 'what we think Christians are supposed to live like, be like, act like, and a continual hamster wheel of movement but not really getting anywhere. Then when the...

We are a porcelain printing company, that can pay part time or piece work to anyone that is (or knows a reliable person) that owns or has access to a kiln. If they are artistic and can work mostly from home (but has some space to grow) and then have or access to a kiln (and knows something about...

I agree with you, about it being your responsibility, because if someone isn't happy its up to them. we choose it or reject it basically. if we are not happy today, we won't ever be happy. but saying all that, Part of the fruit of the SPIRIT is "LOVE" and it produces "joy"….amongst other...

Ah the only pain I've seen go away (which is a fair bit, by the Grace of GOD) is when we command 'pain' to go not ask GOD to take it away. Surely HE JESUS (YESHUA) took your pain. HE took it on the cross, now you insist it must go. Isaiah 53:4-5 -eric

Say "I'm feeling better, thank-you, and am glad that you didn't get what I got!" -eric

Since you are not a kid, you are both probably 'right' to a degree. However, the GOOD LORD made her your mother, and not YOU her father. And as a Christians we are to honour one another, and esteem others better than ourselves. That is to everyone - especially mom. And what caring mother could...

"But i am still curious as to how you can know it was God or your own thoughts?" To Celticroots: a key to understanding the voice of GOD (DAD) is to hear HIM through the fruit of the SPIRIT. HE is not going to talk like any other SPIRIT but that, and so its a key: "love, joy, peace etc.." see...
