1 Thessalonans 5:23 May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. I'm not talking about the definition of the word 'LIFE".. i'm talking about the use of the word SELF. Here's...

We need to define terms a second. Not only for us, but for the readers. We have an issue with words that mean VERY different things at this point. Hold on.. We can work on this. At some point, we're going to have to either point to a glossary of terms with definitions OR agree to use the...

You really do enjoy one liners. It's 2:00 am. I happened in the middle of the night when as an older person we have to have the mid-night interruption-I checked my email at that time. After reading your reply sleep eluded me. Should I give your reply the kind of glancing contact you have...

It is good to see you enjoying this discussion. Seeing some deep thoughts when I got back home after a long trip was very enjoyable. Hope your day was lovely. It has been my experience about the time life has settled into a pleasant rhythm that care should be taken. Not the other shoe...

I THINK I understand this one-- and maybe I flatter myself. There have been quite a few past topics on this discussion that deal with self and self's preoccupation with making choices and usurping identity. If Gideon was writing- I think he is taking a break-- he would write you a book in...

This post intrigued me. I am going to chew on this awhile. My request as I ponder is that you quote this post and add some examples... would you mind doing that for me?? It would cut my pondering time at least in half!! Woo!

Yes! Praise to God! Absolutely! That this post regarding my friend's healing got your spirit further into worship made my day! I am ever so grateful that God participated. The boost to my prayer life and enthusiasm was big. Hopefully this testimony energizes others facing big health crises....

It's established in the past pages of this discussion --if someone wants ot know exactly which posts go to read I would wander around and find it and come back and report it. Most love convenience so I'm going to summarize some past activity here. My husband's best friend got very sick back in...

Thank you. This was well said. In placing examples around what you have offered, the 'few [who] know how to enter' may be helped. Air is necessary. You don't even think about it most of the time unless something is physically wrong or there's smoke impeding your ability to breathe or one is...

The original premise of this discussion IS: God's message is so often rejected--it should not matter who God chooses to send as His messenger. God's authenticated messengers need some refreshing and equipping to deal with The frequent rejections they receive. So several times a week there are...

You can love it... you won't see many from me. How did you discover Christian Forums?

Post 542 in this discussion .. The phrase labor to enter into His rest ... involves holding onto faith... there is definitely one thing I admire about your posts. You have solidness to what you believe. Much of my face to face interactions with people in my locale are focused on what one might...

Here is my one liner post ((psst! Please go reply on "built up in the Lord"))

Me right? Naw, I have seen miracles that would draw praise to God from the rocks themselves. Providence, healing, protection, angels getting people out of cars about to explode into fire, felons saved and restored to God and their families, drug addicted people released to normal lives ...God...

No problem in passing by the video or the commenting on it. What a great verse you quoted. Let's use it. Let's appeal to your own experiences because you clearly chose it because you had the Father draw you to Jesus. Going to your own life, you remember that sensation. Awesome! Now, you...
