Hello,

I've been a long time reader of the forms, and finally took the initiative to create an account and share.

I am a man in my thirties, Christian-Orthodox denomination, from Europe (Romania) that has found God when I was very little, and strive to keep His word to the best of my ability. I try to live by Psalm 119, which my favorite, and the one that speaks louder to me than all other Psalms. And I'm currently studying Byzantine plain chant. Not very good, but I am trying. I try to chant a segment of the psalms everyday, though not always possible. And maintain a very simple life, sans-temptations, where everything is based necessity and not want.

On the relationship side, I never pursued women because I never felt the need. Since the beginning, I handled loneliness extremely well - as if it did not exist. And never had lust. So with these two in effect, I considered that it was best to not pursue women. On this side, I'm not sure if this is God's will or not, but I think that if a man has no desire for something, and is unaffected by loneliness, then it is part of something.

I also enjoy studying. Any subject is worth learning, and I do it happily.I love to read books, as old as possible. I love history, philosophy, religion, mathematics.And generally spend my time in each one, alternating. The desire for knowledge is never ending, and I think it may be be from God.

In rest, I am an advocate for soberness and vigilance. That is, anything that can corrupt your mind should not be done. And I believe that every person should be watchful of themselves, of the people around them, and of their environment.

On occasion I have dreamt of God, telling me uplifting things. And... I also had one dream where the devil showed himself to me (telling me the opposite). I am a dreamer, which has dreams, and visions. And most of them come true. Not sure if it is a prophetic manifestation of the Holy Spirit, but in my dreams I receive warnings, and messages of things to come. Some can be changed, others cannot, but they happen as dreamt.

Hello,

I have a long-time problem that I have not be able to solve, and I'm not sure what it is. I have everything in my life except a career/financial stability. On this side, opportunities have always been non-existent: never had access to higher people, likewise job opportunities I could never find. For some reason, the right people, and the right jobs are out of my reach. What I am given are jobs that are either above me, or jobs that are below me. This is to say, it's made such a way that you can't succeed.

It is very painful for me because I consider myself a capable individual. The degrees are there, same as the work experience. I also posses a fair amount of foreign languages, and other valued skills, but all of this - for some reason - is nothing to what I'm dealing with.

Over the years I tried many things, but nothing seems to work. It appears to be that I'm stuck in a perpetual loop, and there is a fair amount of confusion as well. Sometimes I feel like what I have, i don't have. And what I don't have have, is actually what I do have. I try to slow things down to understand how it works.

And, there is this thing of traps, as I like to call them. The roads which I'd need are all closed for me. Yet, every road that either leads nowhere, or leads to evil is wide opened. In the past, I let down the knowledge and wisdom, and went through one of these opened paths, only to realize that it caused much more problems than it solved, and that I was better of before that road was taken. It fells like what is easy is wrong for me, and is a trap.

The career is the ultimate humiliation because I love to study, and allocate a lot of time for it. The development of my mind, and acquiring knowledge, and the forming of wisdom later-on are one of my top priorities. So obviously, when it is fruitless, I feel like I'm dying inside.

I'm trying to understand if this is a curse or a test.

I have not introduced myself (yet), but for a short context, I am a man, that keeps the scripture as much as possible. Some of my activities: I pray, I fast (daily), chant the psalms, treat the body as it is the temple, sober and vigilant towards corruption, never had a romantic relationship, and saving for marriage (if ever). In the case of a potential curse, how would this be possible? And if this is a test, why? It's been going on for a lot of time now (years).

Thank you.

When we follow the Lord Jesus Christ with our lives, and we obey his commands, in practice, and we follow his guidance and direction, and we go where he sends us, and we speak what he gives us to say, to whom he gives us to say it, we are going to be faced with opposition. And that opposition could be coming from people close to us, from friends, and/or family, and/or from other professing Christians, and/or from pastors of “churches,” and the like. But it hurts the most when it comes from people closest to us.

And now this is not to claim that we are absolutely perfect in every way and that no one should ever accuse us of anything wrong. We should be humble people who admit when we are wrong, who are willing to take correction, and who are willing to make changes in our lives where they are needed and where they are required by God. We should be willing to compromise where it does not require compromising truth and righteousness and the Word of God and his gospel. But all should be done under the direction of our Lord.

And sometimes these persecutions, they pile up, one after another after another. And for some of us, they eventually take their toll on us, and we absolutely do cry with our whole hearts, seeking God for answers and guidance and direction in knowing what to do, and in what to say, and in what to not do, and to not say. For some of us are not “Rocks of Gibraltar,” which symbolize much strength and resilience, but we cry, and we must absolutely trust in the Lord to be our strength, our counsel, and our wisdom.

Have you ever tried running in a race, but when you got near to the end your body was just about ready to collapse, and you didn’t know how you were going to last to the finish line? It’s kind of like that, and kind of like what Paul described, too, or what Job suffered, as well. Sometimes it all just piles up on you at once or else it is just the accumulation of trials and tribulations, over a span of many years, and so sometimes you might wonder how much longer you will last. Then you cry with your whole heart.

One of the things which brings me to tears is how so many people professing faith in Jesus Christ are being deceived by liars and tricksters who know how to charm the people, and who know how to put on a good show, and who are telling people lies. These liars are malicious, morally unclean, fakes, manipulators, egocentric, and unfaithful to those who look to them for truth or for help and guidance. And so many people are following them to their deaths, thinking that they have the hope of eternal life with God.

And that absolutely breaks my heart! I literally weep over the deceived, over those who have been promised salvation from sin and eternal life with God based on a lie which tells them that nothing is required of them other than a profession of faith in Jesus Christ. But Jesus and his New Testament apostles taught that faith in Jesus Christ must result in us dying to sin and obeying our Lord, in practice, by the grace of God, in the power of God. For if we walk in sin, and not in obedience to God, we do not have life in Christ.

Bombs are bursting. Night is falling.
Jesus Christ is gently calling
You to follow Him in all ways.
Trust Him with your life today.
Make Him your Lord and your Savior.
Turn from your sin. Follow Jesus.

On our knees to God we’re praying,
Seeking God to give us answers
That are only found in Him.
God is sovereign over all things.
Nothing from His mind escaping.
He has all things under His command,
And will work all for good.

Jesus Christ is gently calling
You to follow Him in all ways.

Men deceiving: We’re believing
In our Lord, and interceding
For our nation and its people
To obey their God today.
He is our hope for our future.
For our wounds He offers suture.
He is all we need for this life.
Trust Him with your life today.

I Cried with All My Heart

Conservative activist Charlie Kirk says he's optimistic about young men’s renewed interest in attending church and Christianity in general, which he attributes to a growing desire to be part of “something that is beautiful.”

During an interview with Tucker Carlson earlier this week, Kirk expressed gratitude for “one really good trend” he's witnessing across the United States: “young men are going back to church.”

Kirk described church as a “life raft in this [...] tsunami of chaos and disorder.” Kirk, an Evangelical Christian who also identifies as a Calvinist, explained why he thinks young men are choosing Catholic and Orthodox churches in particular: “They want something that is lasting. They want something that is ancient, that is beautiful, something that has stood the test of time, something that’s not going to change, something that’s all of a sudden not going to ... just flip around and have some sort of … transgender story hour.”

Ecclesiates 9:11 mentions time and place happening to all.

There are people in Gaza who are innocent in heart but they are trapped in a war by proxy. There is a war between Israel and Hamas but many of the people in Gaza are helpless and trapped, they are suffering immensely.

I also believe there are various people in the US suffering from many walks of life as well, we should pray for these people that God will provide deliverance for them. As Christian I believe we should oppose the terrorism of Hamas but should not let innocent bystanders suffer cruelty and starvation.

The issue is not lack of funds nor food, the problem is the heart of Israel, they are so consumed by vengence that in their pursuit of those who wronged them they are also harming those who have not harmed them and are innocent.

Please pray that Israel will correct course and only punish those who are guilty of terrorism and not those who are innocent.

Hulk Hogan was pronounced dead at the hospital today, July 24, 2025 at 11:17 am. His family said in a statement that he was "surrounded by his loved ones" when he died. I was pleased when reading about Hulk Hogan's wife, at the end of the article, it states... Hogan and Daily got baptized together... In December 2023, Hogan revealed that he and Daily had gotten baptized, sharing a video on Instagram from the ceremony at Indian Rocks Baptist Church in Florida.

"Total surrender and dedication to Jesus is the greatest day of my life. No worries, no hate, no judgment… only love!" he wrote in the caption.

I think it may have been Mortimer Wheeler who suggested that when we look at the universe it is the universe which is looking at itself through our eyes.

Is this just a whimsical observation with no testable consequenses as to its veracity?

Can anything more be said around that observation or is it just a "take it or leave it" statement ?

The regularly scheduled summer hiatus sparked speculation online that the show could be gone ‘forever’ because the White House called for its cancellation

Is The View going to be next on the chopping block? I am going to guess that during their hiatus, producers will have serious conversations as to whether or not their show is worth the liability.


With their ratings in tank and loosing to Harris Faulkner, the decision should be easy and they will announce their cancelation when they return. What do you think?

Was told and shown a video on some Christian artist had a symbol they wore wasn't biblical either

I'm not familiar with this particular musician, but simply yanking the permits for people who the "in-power" local politicians don't agree with isn't a particularly good look for Canada (and may actually damage the perception of liberal people more broadly since conservatives already have the "libs are anti free speech" talking points in full effect, this just bolsters that argument)

A new bill before Congress would “safeguard” the domestic citizenship of any American who is elected pope of the Catholic Church, including exempting him from paying taxes to the IRS.

Rep. Jeff Hurd, R-Colorado, proposed the bill, saying it “ensures that any American who answers the call to lead more than a billion Catholics worldwide can do so without risking his citizenship or facing unnecessary tax burdens.”

While the text of the bill is not yet available, Hurd said in a statement on his congressional website the bill is meant “to protect the citizenship of, and provide tax-exempt status to, any American elected as the supreme pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church.”

“This legislation recognizes the extraordinary nature of the papacy — a role at the intersection of faith, leadership, and global responsibility,” the Colorado representative said.

A feature-length animated film bringing to life the deep friendship and creative fellowship between C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien, the minds behind The Chronicles of Narnia and The Lord of the Rings,respectively, is in the works.

Filmmaker Aaron Burns, founder of the independent film studio Burns & Co., announced his studio has secured the film rights to The Mythmakers, a graphic novel about the two literary titans by New York Times bestselling author and illustrator John Hendrix.

“C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien’s works have inspired me for as long as I can remember,” Burns said. “When I read John Hendrix’s The Mythmakers, I immediately knew that Burns & Co. needed to adapt it into an animated film as special as the book. John’s words and images literally leap off the page, so I can’t wait to capture his creativity and craft a timeless film that families can enjoy for years to come.”

The mother of one of Bryan Kohberger's murder victims forgave her daughter’s killer in court Wednesday, expressing hope that he would find Jesus Christ and said she'd be praying for him.

Kohberger, who admitted to killing four University of Idaho students at their home in November 2022, learned his fate at his sentencing hearing. He was sentenced to four consecutive sentences of life in prison without the possibility of parole and ordered to pay a combined $200,000 in fines and $5,000 in civil penalties to the families of each victim. He was also sentenced to an additional 10 years in prison and ordered to pay a $50,000 fine in connection with a count of burglary associated with the crime.

As Kohberger appeared at the Ada County Courthouse, he came face-to-face with the families of the students he murdered. Cara Northington, the mother of murder victim Xana Kernodle, expressed confidence that “Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, now has her in His loving arms in Heaven, where she can never be harmed ever again for eternity.”

A father of five who was sedated in the hospital after he was shot in the face twice by a gunman at Richmond Road Baptist Church in Lexington, Kentucky, recently learned his wife did not survive the attack as he regained consciousness at a local hospital.

The father, Randy Combs, was among four people shot by the late 47-year-old Guy House, who went on a shooting rampage at the church after he shot and injured Kentucky State Police trooper Jude Remilien at the Blue Grass Airport on July 13.

Randy Combs and the church's pastor, Jerry Gumm, both survived their gunshot wounds. Combs' wife, 32-year-old Christina Combs, and her mother, 72-year-old Beverly Gumm, who is also the pastor's wife, were killed.

CLEARWATER, Fla. (AP) — Hulk Hogan, the mustachioed, headscarf-wearing, bicep-busting icon of professional wrestling who turned the sport into a massive business and stretched his cultural influence far beyond the ring, died Thursday in Florida at age 71.

The outspoken co-founder of Return to the Land, a relatively new whites-only group based in northern Arkansas, said the group could be expanding to Missouri.

Eric Orwoll, co-founder of Return to the Land (RTTL), told Nexstar’s KOLR that a group of people is considering developing an RTTL community near Springfield.

According to RTTL’s website, RTTL is a private member association exclusively made for white people. Jewish people are also barred from membership. Members are vetted through an application process based on European ancestry.

Orwoll contends RTTL’s criteria reflect “shared ancestral values,” not hatred or violence.

[Orwoll also contends it's a private club and they don't sell real estate, so it doesn't fall afoul of housing laws.]

“Whites should have the ability to live among their own people if that’s what they want to do, and mass immigration is quickly making that nearly impossible in many Western nations,” Orwoll said.

I remember this bossa-disco song from when it was all over the radio, ages ago.

The testimonies of God are the Holy Scriptures (Genesis to Revelation). They include God’s commandments (Old Covenant and New Covenant) for his people to obey. We who believe in Jesus Christ obey his commands to us under the New Covenant God has with his people Israel today, consisting of both Jew and Gentile by physical birth who have trusted in Jesus Christ to be Lord and Savior of our lives. We are the body of Christ, his church.

But Lord means that he is now Owner-Master of our lives, and our lives are now surrendered to him to do his will, committed to obey our Lord in all his ways. And Savior means that he has saved us out of our lives of slavery to sin so we will now follow him in obedience to his commands, and we will no longer walk in sin, making sin our practice. Now righteousness, holiness, moral purity, and obedience to our Lord are what we are living, in practice.

And not only are we to be living the word of God in our daily lives, but we are to be messengers of the Lord who take the message of his gospel to the people of the world. But the gospel message that we should be sharing with the people of the world is not the one which is so popularized in the USA today. But it is the one taught by Jesus and by his New Testament apostles in the New Testament Scriptures, taught in the correct biblical context.

So, what the psalmist described here about the Scriptures, and about his relationship with God, is so fitting to what our relationships with Jesus Christ should look like today, and how we should be viewing the Scriptures with regard to how we should be applying their teachings to our daily walks of faith in obedience to our Lord and to his commands. For he loved the Lord’s commands, and he obeyed the Lord and his commands, in life practice.

And this also parallels over to what Jesus and his New Testament apostles taught as the gospel of our salvation. For faith in Jesus Christ, which is biblical faith, will result in us obeying the commandments of God, in practice, and in us dying with him to sin, and us now living in holiness and in righteousness, and no longer as slaves to sin. For Jesus Christ truly is the Master of our lives, and our lives are committed to walking in his ways.

So we need to understand that faith in Jesus Christ, which is biblical, will result in us dying with Christ to sin, and us walking (in conduct) in obedience to our Lord and to his commandments, in practice, no longer as slaves to sin, but now as servants of the Lord who are doing his will, and who are sharing the truth of the gospel with others for their salvation. For if sin is what we practice, and not obedience to God, we don’t have life with God.

The Spirit of the Sov’reign Lord on me;
Anointed to preach the Good News;
Sent me to bind up the brokenhearted;
Proclaim freedom for the captives.
He sent me to preach release for pris’ners
Who are walking in sin’s darkness;
Proclaim God’s grace to all men who’ll listen;
And tell them about God’s judgments;
Comfort all who mourn;
Give crowns of beauty;
Oil of gladness and thanksgiving.

They will be called oaks of God’s righteousness,
A planting of our Savior, God,
For the display of our Lord’s splendor, and
They will rebuild God’s holy church.
God will renew them, and will restore them,
And you’ll be called priests of the Lord.
You will be ministers of our God, and
You will rejoice in salvation.
The Lord loves justice;
He is faithful to
Reward those who are seeking Him.

I delight greatly in the Lord;
My soul rejoices in my Savior, God.
He has clothed me with His salvation,
And in a robe of His righteousness.
He has given me priestly garments to wear,
As the bride of Jesus Christ.
As the garden of our Lord and Savior,
He causes us to grow in Him.
He makes righteousness,
Praise, and thanksgiving
Spring up before all the nations.
