Many times He speaks to me through others. One example: I was going through a hard time and was having thoughts of just giving up. Not suicidal thoughts, but just giving up going to church, my marriage, etc. I had not told anyone what I was feeling. During a church service, a lady came to me...

I think you said a lot in this statement. Pride comes in many forms and many don't want to admit that maybe their faith or belief isn't quite where it should be. If we, as Christians, don't believe something Jesus said, then who's fault is that?

Like many have said it all comes down to where your heart is, your motives. Just because someone says they would like to have money doesn't mean they 'love' money or covet it or love God less. In the same vein, just because someone says they don't want money, or riches, doesn't mean they are...

On a side note, I'm not sure I would tell a child that a harlot is a woman who is naughty. The next time they see a woman 'acting up' they might say, out loud in front of many, 'Mommy, that woman is being a harlot' ^_^ ___________________________________________________________ I've taught...

Yes, God allows things. I think the question/issue is... Is everything God allows His will for us, because He wants it to be that way. Or does He allow things, against His will, because (and there could be different reasons...some sickness because we don't take care of ouselves; things going...

My feelings exactly. And I'll just add that other people failing, no matter who they are, should not hinder our walk with the Lord. If, that is, we truly have our eyes on Jesus and not on people. Disappointments and failures happen, we have to, as individuals, learn to not let them affect us...

why would anyone think otherwise? David loved God despite of all the wrong he did. God loved David despite of all the wrong he did. The same is true for Paul. And us. David was a man God used. He may not have been, humanly speaking, more special than any of us. But God had a special plan for...

I agree that some only pray when they need something, which we should pray when we need something. But, I wouldn't say it's for God alone. He already knows the answer. It's us that needs to know what the answer is. I would say we probably don't spend enough time listening in prayer. There are...

All of it begins with God. I would not have the realization of God without the Holy Spirit making Him known to me. Salvation is a gift from God. We would not be saved if not for Jesus. Again, the Holy Spirit opened my eyes to the fact that I even need a Savior. I didn't do anything to earn it...

I was listening to a CD last night & the preacher was saying how Paul talks as much or more about the first Adam...because we don't/won't/can't see ourselves IN CHRIST. The cd is about our identification in Christ. I understand about identifying ourselves in Christ, that is what God sees, the...

I LOVE to read and have lots of books. Here are some: Greater Works - Smith Wigglesworth The Master is Calling - Lynne Hammond The Christian's Secret of a Happy Life - Hannah Whitall Smith Precious Gem in the Tabernacle - B.R. Hicks The Treasury of David, Vol ll Psalms 27-52 - Charles Spurgeon...

sometimes too we may think our motives are pure at the time only to look back at what we said or did and realize maybe they weren't so pure. Or maybe we know they're not pure but fool ourselves into thinking they are just so we can make a point. At least that has happened with me before.

great advice. I agree with everything you said. When people post a prayer request of here, facebook, etc, this is what I do now: If I feel led to pray in agreement with them then I do and sometimes I might post that I'm praying for them. Sometimes I don't. If I don't feel led to pray...

I've told people I would pray about something and didn't. Here and in 'real life'. Usually someone would ask, I would be doing something else at the time, and I would just forget. When I would remember later on I would feel bad, but even then I didn't always pray about it. I really felt bad when...

So true!!

My life was changed when I quit worrying about sin and worrying about whether I was doing right or wrong. I was still in bondage to sin without even realizing it. Sure I try not to sin but I don't focus and stress over it. Because God made Jesus sin so we could be the righteous of God in Christ...

Our stories aren't the same but I've had some crazy stuff in my family also. I also understand the responsibility you feel being the oldest. There are 5 of us and although I have an older brother I am the oldest girl. I was 16 when my parents divorced, my mom left, my sisters were 7 & 9. Instant...

I only have 2 and am listening to things I never thought I would. Can't imagine if I had 9.... Do your walls rattle when one of them drives up ^_^

well, in my first post I was going to tell you not to act like that anymore...lol... Sure, if you wrong someone ask for forgiveness. That's what happens between people. Again, if they do or don't accept it is up to them. But, if they don't then don't let it bother you to the point that you...
