anyone believe the advice of Gene Edwards on this topic?

Ah, yes the Sig P226, one I have had my eyes on. However, I am still saving for the masterbuilt 220P X-6 as my next. Anyone have preferrered .45 calib round for target accuracy?...do you typically drop down to 183gr swc, or stick with 230gr rn fmj?

Great to hear from you...I was concerned I would be the only one here with a shooting hobby... I am currently saving to buy a special marksman's edition Sig Sauer 220 with 6 inch barrel...gotta be the ultimate for accuracy, for me.

I enjoy shooting paper targets for accuracy and precision. I own a couple hK 45's, one a USP compact 45, and the other a full frame hK 45. At a distance of 75 feet i can keep ten consecutively fired rounds within a 5.5" diameter target, 50% within a 2" group. I like it because it is loud and...

Squirble: Um, yes I am looking for a modern day example of a dynamic, Spirit-led Christian, who has a job other than a pastor, hopefully someone I could research and observe in order to emulate...it's amazing that we all can't easily think of someone.

Seriously, please name a currently living person (but NOT a pastor or pastor'ss wife), but an otherwise working person) you know, who is a celebrity or known public person, who is most like Christ in your estimation...the idea is I want to read all about this person, even emulate this person, I...

I think yes we should use our knowledge of what God wants to analyze the world and reject evil, but forgive and desire to encourage the weak Christian. However, we are not to condemn any person, it's not our job, it's God's job...however, we can see and judge sinful behavior, abhor it and...

Now that was an absolutely wonderful true story....Just like God to intervene so simply and yet effectively.

Question: Since "Spirit-filled" suggests God control (Roman's 8), and since God cannot sin, would it not mean that, overall, a "Spirit filled" congregation sins much less than Chrisitian congregation that doesn't delibrately practice being "Spirit-filled"? I am not saying that "Spirit-filled"...

I regularly walk in a nearby forest, and pray. This particular forest is very lush, thick with ferns, shallal, and 250 foot conifers 4 feet in diameter. It is easy to feel close to God in this forest since God's creative hand is so apparent. Sometimes i know while praying I have found a more...

ydouxist What a wonderful testimony about God's mercy, his judgement, and saving grace! Very edifying and faith building.

These are all great true stories...it is faith building to read and know God is with us, blessing us with his divine Presence.

Wonderful personal story. God is working with us, teaching us to love others as he loves us. God bless you.

KatyAD: Great true story...I believe it, sounds just like God to be a healing, nurturing Presence when we need him...he truly is our Heavenly Father, and our understanding Brother, and wonderful Counselor.

Wow, I was gone from the forum for a while, and now all these fine testimonies. It seems we who have had a special experience with God, whether in dream or in actual life, we are the chosen by God because of our need, I think We are bolstered by our special experience with God. The special...

Well here's my story: I have had several, what I called "timeless prayers", where I start off praising God, then move to prayer, then it suddenly I become aware as much as 5 hours have passed...usually on my feet, so I know I haven't been sleeping. There is joy and massive peace and serenity...

thank you for your contribution to this OP

If you're drawing breath, you can still turn to God, and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. However, it good to realize you are not a Christian, because i think a lot of people assume if they merely acknowledge Jesus they are somehow Christians. You have the first element of...

Regarding your original subject title, "please help me find my joy in this situation" Well, a couple of things: As horrible as your experience is with this alcoholic, it seems like it is driving you to the Lord...which is very, very, good and hopeful. When I went through my big tragedy, all...

Yup, your last post shows you have appropriate boundaries...It's a form of abuse for an addict person to expect to be "in marriage" when they are really married to alcohol. So no kids involved? Even if there were, it would be blessing to have you distance them from the alcoholic one. I...
