Why is there such a big focus on Rahab? The bible commands us to imitate Jesus NOT man. "He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked" (1 John 2:6) "I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments" (Deuteronomy...

In my dad's hospital situation, I could have lied to get medical insurance. Before my dad got sick enough to be sent to the ER, I could have said that he didn't have a pre-existing health condition. Even though my dad had no money coming in and desperately needed breathing equipment, Medicaid...

Why save a life and lose a soul? God is our Savior, so it is not our job to figure out how to 'save' someone. Godly love causes use to care whether or not a soul perishes and goes to hell. Why put a brother in Christ in a questionable situation (especially, when you don't no 100% that it is...

Personally, I have been in a similar situation as the OP and I did NOT have to lie. My father had a life threatening illness and he didn't have medical insurance. My dad ended up being put on life support for more than two months and his hospital bill was around $800,000. So, I cried out to...

If any of you really loved others, then you would encourage them to seek God (instead of telling them to rely on their own understanding and come up with some lie). It seems as if some people are caught up with helping the physical rather than spiritual well being of others.

I agree. We are spirit beings and the spirit only comes from God. I personally doubt that God approves of cloning, since man is trying to bypass Him and create living beings on their own.

The Law of attraction has been heavily promoted on the Oprah show. Some people believe if you believe positive things then you can draw good things in your life or if you think negative then you can draw negative things into your life. There is a principle of reaping and sowing, but as...

Before I went off to college, an elderly woman wanted to give my family some property before she died. She wanted my family to run a christian education/learning center and to rent out several houses. So, she was just going to pass everything on to us for free. My family ended up passing up on...

Hi, I have been in a similiar situation. I have always loved counseling, singing and playing instruments. I was encouraged by others to not pursue music as a career but to just keep it as a hobby. I ended up going to an elite university which was ranked among the top 5 academic universities...

It is best to test a things. Personally, I'm not sure what to think. At the beginning of the 1999 gold dust/teeth revival, there were some peope who felt that the gold was hazardous and would cause cancer or sickness. After that, Ruth Heflin a gold dust evangelist died of cancer and then...

I really don't know any missionaries but I believe that God is calling me to be a missionary overseas. I look forward to going even though I know that is going to be difficult and I'll have to really draw near to God and depend on Him. Over there, I can't let myself be complacent or lukewarm...

I agree but there is a difference between a call and the Call. We are all called to reach out to others BUT there are some people whose main calling is to have a full time outreach ministry either overseas or to local people. So, the OP might be addressing those people.

This is so true. A lot of people believe that God can heal them but there is sometimes some underlying subconscious belief that hinders healing. [/COLOR] [/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] My sister told me of a testimony of a disabled veteran who liked all the attention that he received due to his...

Of course, you should continue to rejoice and thank God that He has heard your prayers and has the situation under His control. I mentioned before a cute testimony of a little sick toddler who thanked God everyday that he loved her and had healed her. One day, she was miraculously healed. Her...

Last week, my dad was not even able to breathe on his own without a breathing machine. So, the doctors wanted to give my dad a tracheotomy if he DOES NOT get better. Now my dad is breathing 3 times faster than the breathing machine. The doctors still want to do a tracheotomy, but they won't...

Thank you everyone for the prayers.

My dad is on life support right now. Please lift him up in prayer. He is having the following problems: 1.pneumonia 2.congestive heart failure 3.stroke 4.high blood pressure 5.diabetes 6.sleep apnea 7.vascular problems

I was just reading the other day how churches teaching a new age gospel will lead their church members to accepting the antichrist.

I think I'll stay away from any tv ministry or other church that doesn't have balanced preaching.

Elijah2, I agree with the points that you made...I usually do.:)
