    Does God still care?

    Start looking AROUND NOW. AT YOUR LEVEL OF EXPERIENCE YOU PROBABLY KNOW MORE ABOUT YOUR CRAFT THAN ANY COLLEGE PROFESSOR. You could easily qualify as a supervisor based on experience alone. Your ability to maintain a job for so long thru several takeovers shows you are the kind of individual...

    So empty inside

    This is for the OP and everyone who posted. Including me. We are all sinners. We dont stop being sinners just because we are born again. We just are not tagged with those sins anymore. As born again we live in a fallen world that is going to hell quickly. Shootings every night in my town now...

    How do you handle anxiety/depression as a believer?

    What Rebecca said. I brought PTSD home with me from the military and thought I was home free until the night of Desert Storm. then it came roaring back. Waking up on the floor panicked wondering where my rifle was. Not good. These days I accept that bad things can make bad memories. I give...

    I don't know what to do!!

    I have been where you are and thought I was in combat while on the floor of my bedroom. I used to take the pills and still have some. They are NOT a band aid. People who say that have no idea and without living it or being a Dr should keep their mouth shut. They replace serotonin missing in...

    what are you feeling right now? (19)

    Feeling tired. Spent the last several months with one digestive disorder infection after another. Most of the last 3 years was the same. Feel stuck in the house mostly. No strength anymore like a man. Feeling old. Almost always hungry but would rather be hungry than in big pain if I eat...

    How do you handle flashbacks?

    Hello SparkPlug dear. I am a VietNam veteran and on my 18th birthday saw combat in a hard way. My friend died in my arms and I didnt even know I was wounded also. I killed a young man just a second before he would have killed me 20ft away. Add to that I felt guilty for surviving and couldnt...

    Does correct docrine trump a lukewarm heart?

    I can use smaller words if you like. If you believe the gospel (John 3:16 is a good look) and believe it/ accept it/ trust it then scripture says you are saved. Period. forever. OSAS. That means after you are saved if you become a bank robber you are still saved. Get it? Dont like it...

    Are denominations important

    You are a nicer man than me Pastor. Heretics raise my ire quickly! His God is so weak He cant keep those He saves and His sacrifice on the cross is to no effect! I dont know that Jesus.

    Fruit

    I like apples and bananas myself. The two things the Father asks of us are to Love the Lord Yeshua with all your mind and heart and soul; and to love your neighbour as yourself. How we do that varies probably according to our personality and giftings. A couple of years ago I was a mod here...

    Are denominations important

    Whatever. If I said carwash you would say dirty car. Name a denom in the bible. (other than the Jewish synagogs of course) But if you are comfortable having someone taught in a doctrine tell you what to believe I hope you chose well. You want to know my denom? Born Again!

    Does correct docrine trump a lukewarm heart?

    Well excuse me. Mr perfect. When did you stop sinning and failing? You only screw up every 100 days or so? You appear to not believe the gospel and are looking for justification for your works for salvation while paying lip service to grace. We are saved by grace no matter how many time we...

    I am non-denominational

    whats up with the push to join a particular denom? Most are frankly unscriptural. Find a messianic Jewish group if you wish or just a non-denominational body. You can still have a church body without evil add on stuff.

    Pastor, Thank you. I had forgotten how rare it is for people to actually believe the gospel at this place.

    The common factor in almost all revivals.....

    And what is the commands Yeshua (Yahweh) wanted you to keep? Do you know? It want the 632 old testament laws was it? No. It wasnt even the 10 commandments was it? No. You trust in Yeshua by believing Him. Accepting His gospel. Trusting His gospel. Turn from selfishness? How is that...

    The common factor in almost all revivals.....

    That depends. The Bible has a different definition than you apparently do. The Hebrew and Greek Metaneo is the word originally used. It means "change your mind". The catholics heretics decided it meant "mea culpa" Oh I am so sorry! They did that to control the populace of non reading...

    Are denominations important

    and you would be correct to say so sir. Try telling an assemblies of God that you dont speak in tongues. (other than english of course). They say you have to do that to PROVE you are born again! (error) All denoms are man's attempt to mess with the word of God.

    How to know if we are saved

    John 3:16 Whoever BELIEVES is what it says. If you have faith/trust/acceptance/belief in the gospel You are saved forever OSAS and can know it instantly. That is it. Its simple and many scriptures says just what 3:16 says. You can be a sinning fool but if your faith is in Jesus and what...

    The common factor in almost all revivals.....

    We are born again by belief. Not by repentance. No where in scripture is repentance (metaneo) required for salvation. We come to Christ as we are. It is the Holy Spirit's job to gently lead us. 1John 1:8 I think says that we are sinning creatures and will always be that way because we are...

    New Career Move Might Be A Sin? Help!

    Certainly a Christian can be a divorce lawyer. I would assume he would try to counsel reconciliation first however. I am confused why you would wish to be a "money hungry pig" a you called them? And why you think it is Gods will for you to be that? Are you thinking of doing something...

    Can we lose our salvation? Based on years of study....

    No you cannot lose your salvation. It isnt up to us to keep saved it is up to the Father. He will neither lose us or let us go. Jesus is the Shepherd and it is His job to run after the little sheep that wanders off. He does it 100% every time. If you have faith alone in Jesus alone you are...
