    Want to make a difference?

    TT - I’m slightly amused that you took offense to my reply, as I was not criticizing your actions only saying they weren’t for me and why. For example, I never said you watched a lot of TV, I only made the comment because your original post said: “If you're concerned about what your...

    "God Warned Us about This Terroist"

    I try not to focus on what satan is doing and focus on Christ. Living in His word and being a light in this world. I think when we lose that focus and say satan is there...and satan is there behind that rock too. What I see is Holy Ground...I see members of my church coming together in...

    i want to stop sinning. do you?

    In response to Kiwi who says God doesnt want us to, but we do anyway, since its in our nature to do so I hear what you are saying. But when I read Paul's writing I feel like he is saying we are seperate from that nature, a new being,a spiritual being. Almost if that nature is not apart...

    i want to stop sinning. do you?
