Jesus brought a way of happiness that had to do with the heart and nothing else.

Sure of courseAsk God to give you more and more love for Him because possibility of being content with alone and nothing else comes when he/she is in so much love with God that they so deeply enjoy His fellowship and concerned about serving God, so much so that they want to be free of any other concerns that might steal a piece of their soul and time. As you said it is not easy and only God can bring you to that place of stillness in Him.
But again, each has his own calling from God, so it differs from one to another, depending on God's purpose and His design and seasons set for you.
Jesus was a unique being. The supremacy of love he had for people was phenomenal.Jesus brought a way of happiness that had to do with the heart and nothing else.
But... background checks. It's never so simple as it ought to be. Inside the church I mean.yes. yes. yes. yes. one of the biggest mistakes the institution has made is telling believers that they need to do x, y, or z before they can serve God and other people. all it takes is someone who knows God and what He's done for them. heck, you can even start here by giving us your testimony. would you like to share with us right now in this thread?
and that's only because of law and insurance reasons. if leaders operated in true discernment and wisdom then there would be no cause for that either.But... background checks. It's never so simple as it ought to be. Inside the church I mean.
Yeah. I've always though that the need for background checks is really just a sign that something is seriously wrong in the Church. If there was true discipleship going on and believers actually acted like a family, there would be far fewer unknown felonies in people's pasts. And background checks do nothing to stop people without a record, so it's a false security anyway.and that's only because of law and insurance reasons. if leaders operated in true discernment and wisdom then there would be no cause for that either.
Hmmmmmmmmm - does that play on your mind a lot? Even at the age of 79?
Were they believers? Yes sweet is beautiful! But were they believers in Christ?
Why was you not ready to settle down? How old were you at the time of coming across the 2 sweetest girls you ever met
Leave the door open even now?
Yeah. I've always though that the need for background checks is really just a sign that something is seriously wrong in the Church.
of course,
the best men will have the pick of the best women and the best women will be taken by the best men. 10s role with 10s, etc, etc.
the best women aren't going to give males with no ambition, goals, or accomplishments the time of day. they won't even acknowledge their existence and will not put themselves around males like that. a man who cannot protect, provide, and lead is not a man.
The best men and the best women? hahaha!! In who's eyes? Your posts make you sound like a pick up artist, or better yet, one that's read too many books by pick up artists. Excuse me; ahem! puke! barf!
Do you base value solely on worldly "accomplishments"? Please, enlighten me on what constitutes the "best" people, aside from how they look.
Who has no ambition, goals, or accomplishments? What are great accomplishments in your mind? Come back to earth man.
Fair enough!time
Yeah cos that would be my thing - for all the sweetness and beauty they possess are they believers? Cos marry somebody that is doesn't have your belief system will mean CONFLICT or COMPROMISE and I don't want either!know
Hmmmmm I see! Yeah - how were you at that time? I am done with fun now - fun got me nothing but savage pain.I wuz having waaay too much fun at the time.
Salute to you, Sir!I'm a very young 79.
usually the people who get offended by these things end up being exhibit A.
BTW, pick up artists reject the things I've said.
The answer to your title question is to find something else to think about and consciously change your thought process away from women when you find it wandering back. Focus on learning something new or get a deeper knowledge in some area that you are already interested. Don't allow yourself too much down time.
YES BACKGROUND CHECKS ARE NEEDED - especially if that person is teaching Sunday school classes to children. Children are the most valuable thing we have on earth - once they have been interfered with in a certain way - it is done!You may feel differently when you have children. I attended church a few times when my daughter was younger. I kept her with me or stayed in the classroom.
Irrespective of should’s, I’m responsible for her welfare and must give an account to her. If she’s harmed (because of my misplaced trust) that’s a problem. I didn’t put her in situations where it could occur.
I exercised similar cautions for myself. I’ve never attended small groups held in member homes or any event of that nature. I’ve been to public places with them. But home is intimate and I require more familiarity than casual encounters.

Anyway - remember I spoke about a woman at church that caught my eye.
Well I know I said last week I saw her but didn't care cos I was *better* I said that only to mentally take my mind of females.
Anyways - cut long story short - saw her today (very elegant in my eyes) and she was with her MOTHER!!!!!
It was so awesome! Her mother is probably the same age as my mother (actually probably older) and the woman in question I would say she is either 3 years older or 3 years younger (in that bracket).
I want to break the ice with her (but I want to do this WITH REAL RESPECT AND CLASS) cos this is not some filth that you'd find in a club this is a young woman that has Christ in her veins.
So, should I speak to the Bishop and ask about her in that way?
Or should I speak to her mother?
Cos I would love to invite her and her mother over for dinner one day with my relatives too (that would be awesome!)
Things done in a CLASSY MANNER!
I am really excited!!!!!!!!!!!!
A feeling I have inside - I dunno!!!!
She has this thing about her that I really like!
An I am not lusting over her either! I have RESPECT for her! Not like some filthy thing you find on the floor outside a nightclub this is a woman that is comprised wonderfully (how I see it).
Anyway - yeah!
Yes it is about searching for sure - I think as well circumstances can bring 2 together as well.It's more like trying to find a needle in a haystack.
Yes asking them questions helps! Must ask questions! Cos the answers you get to your questions may make you think twice about having anything to do with them! Trust me!Interviewing people you meet to find out what makes them tick.
Society will make you think what is classed as a *good woman* especially when it comes to beauty standards - but YOU know what a good woman is when you come across one!Personally, I'm not interested in what society deems a 10.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLWith all due respect, you sound like a kid in a candy store.
