    Thinking About Heaven

    I think it will be like nothing we know now on earth. I can't even imagine being where God is, in a place without sin, a place of peace and no more tears. I can't imagine not struggling and striving and longing for God to help me in my weakness and unbelief. Contemplating being complete, being...

    Alpha

    Has anyone ever participated in the Alpha course? My husband and I will be helpers this fall in Alpha, which is sponsered by our church. We have never done it before, but have heard wonderful things about it. Please share your experiences. Thanks!

    What's With The Games?

    Hi Sue, Thank you for your thoughts and for responding. It is funny, because I frequent another, secular board for the 'light' side of my life, and was hoping to come here to find a deeper discussion, especially since it is difficult to be really understood by people who don't follow Christ...

    What's With The Games?

    I don't find fellowship in word games. I don't find community and I don't make connections to anybody through games. There should be a seperate forum for games. Then this board would be free and clear to focus on topic: being a Christian and being 50 or over.

    The Future Is Open Wide: Tell Me Your Story

    OK, I will give it a try here. I turned 50 last week. What a turning point it is! Just so happens it coincides with my youngest child going off to college. I know there are many changes in store for me. What I would like to hear are words of wisdom, advice, encouragement, caution and testimony...

    What's With The Games?

    LOL, well I thought I might find discussions like the empty nest, praying for the salvation of your grown kids and sharing testimony, discussing mid life changes like selling the family home, taking on new roles in the church now that you have more time, what God has been teaching you as you...

    What's With The Games?

    Why is this forum filled with word games? Is that what people over 50 do? Yikes.

    Paula and Randy White to be divorced

    Really? Sometimes, being friends is all you have left after a difficult season. That is good foundation to start over again. It is the marriage VOWS that become crucial here. Almost everyone makes them. Fewer people follow them. You committ yourself to that person, to love them no matter what...

    Hell: Eternal Damnation Or Quick Death?

    His sacrifice is most certainly not in vain regardless of your position on an eternal hell. We were all dead in our sin and through Jesus Christ's sacrifice on the cross we have the hope for eternal life. That is what His sacrifice secured for those who put their faith in Him; Eternal Life...

    Hell: Eternal Damnation Or Quick Death?

    Wow, those are fighting words. Haven't you ever met brothers and sisters in Christ that hold differing doctrines? I don't care for the way you suggest I may not be a Christian because I don't think like you. This is a subject debated by true Christian theologians and there is evidence for both...

    Any secular songs that remind you of Jesus?

    I always liked the song by Joan Osbourne 'If God Was One Of Us'. "If God had a name, what would it be And would you call it to his face If you were faced with him in all his glory What would you ask if you had just one question And yeah yeah God is great yeah yeah God is good yeah yeah yeah...

    Hell: Eternal Damnation Or Quick Death?

    Exactly! There is no scripture that says we are immortal, yet somehow I grew up thinking that we were. Immortality is a gift from God that He gives to believers! And I also agree with your other point. To think of our loved ones being tortured forever and ever does not mesh with the love of God...

    Hell: Eternal Damnation Or Quick Death?

    Cyberlizard, thanks for the link, I am working my way through it. Thank you for your thoughts so far. John 3:16 says that those who believe in Christ, should not 'perish', but have everlasting life. Eternal life seems to be set aside for believers, meaning others will not continue to live. The...

    Hell: Eternal Damnation Or Quick Death?

    For years I thought as many (or most) do that hell is an eternal place, an endless seperation from God. But there seems to be enough scripture to support the fact that only believers are granted eternal life, and the rest perish, or die after the judgment, without the lingering suffering or...
