Strong Jobs Report Eases Fears of Damage From Trade War

Hi everyone I need some advice. Last October I had an online affair with another man, it was before I got married and I was engaged. I ended the affair and was considering telling my then fiance but I asked some friends for advice and they encouraged me not to tell since it was a couple months before the wedding and I didn't have a physical affair. But I feel God has laid it on my heart to come clean but I'm scared to tell my husband. What do I do??

Trump says he may issue executive order over citizenship question on 2020 census

President Donald Trump said Friday he is considering issuing an executive order requiring a citizenship question on the 2020 census, a move contrary to a Supreme Court ruling last week and one certain to bring more legal challenges.

Trump also said he has "four or five options" as his lawyers look to deal with a Supreme Court decision released June 27 that blocked the citizenship question on the census.

"We're looking at a lot of things, including an executive order," Trump said.

Any move Trump makes to re-institute the question will surely be challenged in court by organizations who say the administration is deliberately trying to undercount...

This is mere speculation here but heres my thoughts and you can add in. In Genesis it starts with the saying In the Beginning God created. Now this is the account of the beginning of the creation of our world. What state was God in before he created the world? What was his first thought process if it were to be before the creation account? If Gods will always existed and he never changes then his thoughts were according to his will and he foreknew them when he created the spacetime matrix then he was at both ends of thinking and doing at the same time?

What does the name Jesus mean? Is it a Greek word? Why do translators use this name? Where did it come from?

You prayed about it ceaselessly. You cried out to Abba with every ounce of your being. You pled in the name of Jesus. You are sanctified by the Spirit and you're confident you heard His voice right. You searched His Word for answers, you set your heart and mind right before Him. You denied your flesh and picked up your cross.

You tried and tried and tried. You did your absolute best, yielding to the Spirit as much as possible. You did not want divorce.

When you prayed, the Lord himself in His still small voice led you to separation. (And perhaps eventually divorce.)

Does this ever happen? Would God, the Lord of Heavenly hosts who sits upon His throne, the Holy One of Israel, ever tell one of His beloved children to choose divorce?...

So when I was younger I made a promise with God concerning me taking trips on planes (I’ve never been on one due to this experience). I was unable to fulfill this promise and I even went as far as to say “give me one final chance” (in prayer of course) that however didn’t work. I still kept doing the thing I promised not to. Anyway I’m a firm believer in temporal punishment and believe if I do get on a plane I’ll probably die. I’d love to travel one day but just thoroughly reading through the Bible, I don’t think even repentance could help me. There has been countless of biblical examples of God ignoring people’s prayers (David praying for his son to live) despite believing he’ll help them. I don’t feel any different. The promise went...

Wow...that was a nice one...biggest one I've been through...bigger than Northridge!!! 6.4!!

i have a number of friends who are not Christians. Among them are several Jewish friends, a number of Muslims, several Wiccans and a couple Hindus.

During a recent illness I had friends who contacted me via Facebook to say that they were praying for my recovery. These included prayers from my Jewish, Muslim, Wiccan and Hindu friends.

I believe God hears prayers for healing from my non-Christian friends as much as He hears prayers from my Christian friends. However I’ve had Christians tell me that I should not ask for prayers from non-Christians. Thoughts?

Building off of my last thread...

The glory of God is the most important thing.

True or false?

I say true, and if you think it’s false, hopefully I’ll be able to convince you otherwise.
