Proverbs 23:23 "Buy the truth and do not sell it— wisdom, instruction and insight as well." I meditated on this, breaking down what "buy" and "sell" really meant. If I want a cheeseburger, I have to "buy" it, by trading something for it, which I can not get back directly. That would be money...

Had another possible opportunity open up at church to serve. At the prayer and fellowship night, on Friday, our interim pastor shared he was retiring. He was the one who lead the prayer night, along with a devotional, before we prayed. As I was already scheduled to lead, in two weeks, God put...

Been thinking of wanting to make indian butter chicken again. Also want to make white chocolate cheesecake. I'll probably do in two weeks, so I can take it to church for sharing.

@GospelS , I've been thinking about the quality of "Priesthood" for a man. I've never thought of this. What does it look like, if anyone can share.

@bèlla You mentioned earlier how God brings people into our lives. I hope others find this encouraging. This past Sunday, I saw that being very true. First, there is the sister who I'm training with the sound board. Shes married, and around my age. As we waited for the service to start, I asked...

So you give truth away for free then? :angel:

Yesterday, I went to the second session of Alpha. During the video, I experienced a déjà vu moment. I've never seen the video, or taken Alpha before. Not sure what it meant. Perhaps I had a dream of being in the situation and moment before.

Hopefully a side trip to Canada will happen. :holy:

Do you have have any Christian friends in your life? You mentioned you sit alone at church. Perhaps God has brought you to this woman's attention, to give you a friend, and an example of what a godly woman is like.

I believe the opposition was that I was the only one to help keep the bible study continuing. The sister who was running it, was getting busy with college, and they may not have met for a month or two, if she were to continue leading it. They already had trouble meeting regularly due to her...

For the youth and young adults bible study, yes, it was unexpected. A month prior, I had asked if we could have our adult's Wednesday night bible study started up again. Another ministry which stopped since the pandemic. Knowing the interim pastor doesn't work full time, I volunteered to lead...

@bèlla , what does biblical courtship look like exactly? When I've thought of the potential future relationship God would give me, dating felt like it was too worldly. Also from my observance of other christians who were dating, it felt they were leaving out on building an eternal relationship...

Lol. Well, she happens to be married now. I do feel like God blinds me from physically seeing or noticing certain people at my church, despite also making me observant to the needs of those in our congregations. Its strange to explain. As for wanting a wife, God has worked with me to...

One of the things God brought to mind, is that for us Christ followers, who are seeking another who also follows Christ, Jesus is our foundation to build our relationship upon. Before anything, if you truly view the other person as a brother or sister in Christ, it changes the whole perspective...
