That was prior to the coming of our Lord. The law has passed, and the Lord has come and died to release us from the law. One cannot earn his way to heaven by following laws.rules. It is a gift...remember? We do not earn anything by obeying. We are saved and live by grace.

Wouldn't that be a horrible thing! So unlike the Lord we know, who says "let him cast the first stone".....

God gave us free will through the grace of Christ (Romans explains that and proves that it is through grace, not works) We are living from grace to grace. He gave us guidelines to live by, yet knowing Him personally, He is not a ridged unloving God. He takes each case individually and looks...

The Lord has heard, may peace flow freely through.

It is a useful tool for the edification of our brothers and sisters. It is to be used only under the guidance of the Lord, and never to be used as an instrument of judgmentalism or self elevation. Satan loves to step in and plant thoughts of self elevation when we are called to move out into our...

There comes a time when the lord leads us through a valley, to show us the power of praise. Let go of the church, and hang on to Him directly and personally. You have done step 1 and covered all of your issues with prayer. Time for exercising your faith in praise. Prayer sometimes keeps us...

Amen Lady J. A dermatologist I used to work for in Oregon has a terminal brain tumor. Please add his name (David) to your orders for healing, Father God, in Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Ask Him a specific important question, pray, then quiet your thoughts (and this part takes practice), and then sit still and spend much time listening in order to hear that extremely wise quiet inner voice that is His. When He speaks the words are not words you would choose and the wisdom is...

Yes, thank you for asking. Praises to the Lord, all is well here.

I have not been addressing him or his problem. I have expressed my thoughts for him much earlier here. I have been talking to you about the importance of the "individual" churches along with why we should not be leaving them so easily. @Parsley Hi, it has been awhile. Hope you are well. I...

Well the Lord comes first of course, and then the entire Christian body on earth, and then there is the smaller group that we are united with and accountable to...people that you personally know, love, and support. If we are intricately woven together with our giftings in a body, then we should...

Bouncing from church to church does not keep us accountable, and shows lack of personal dedication and even lack of character. It breeds love of "self " instead of love and devotion to family/body/church. These days people are used to fast food and instant email... patience and endurance is not...

I am sorry for the very deep pain and grief that you have been pulled into. It will some day be put to good use by the Lord who transforms all things into good, that were meant for our harm. You have received some positive advice, good words of the Lord's wisdom, and solid encouragement. But...

I think that if you prayerfully and fully deal with your resentment and feelings of rejection "first", then you will be able to clearly and more quickly hear what the Lord has planned for you and the church. Resentment and hurt feelings block our hearing, prevents us from seeing the truth, and...

Pray for them and then completely forget them and their stares. When people gossip or say untrue things about you God will handle it, and believe me when I say this ...He defends His children as sure as the sun comes up. The one who calls you a thief or a liar, will shortly find themselves in...

Praying in agreement...

What bobinator said is true and balanced. Anything to excess is wrong. A little makeup is not displeasing to the Lord. He does not want us to look like drudges. We are to be clean and well presented.... Matthew 6:16-18 16“Whenever you fast, do not put on a gloomy face as the hypocrites do...

Well put Layhoma. The Lords capacity to love and forgive is beyond our imaginations. His understanding is deeper still. No, God will never tire of any of us, He is not human, weak, impatient, or short tempered. He sees your future as well as your past. He knows that you desire to please Him and...

I have not read this thread, so forgive me if I repeat anything. Forgiveness and esteeming our enemies is not something we can do in the flesh. So, trying to control our thoughts or do mental exercises will not work and will not bring healing. This can only come from and through the power of...

Belief and obedience without love is religion, not Christianity. This child asked a valid question, and she was criticized. That is not love. The scriptures say that without love Christians are "nothing"...me included. 1 Corinth 13 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not...
