I have no proof on this, but I suspect that many non-believers come to God when they have simply come to the end of their rope from believing in the carnal world. It's tragic that a person has to be flat on his back with no one to turn to but God.

Talk about being under judgment, I looks like the Middle East and Africa are under some form of judgment. I can't think of anything else that is rational and makes any sense.

Jason, you have mentioned some very disturbing thoughts and I'm not sure that seeking advice on Christian Forums is the answer. I'm thinking you might want to find a professional counselor to help you with this. I want to believe that we on the forum are friends of a degree and there are many...

I like your thoughts. My life is also good these days without serving lusts and pleasures.

Recently I fixed a lunch for a friend who had just gotten out of the hospital. It was easy to make and cost very little. I took it to her house and we enjoyed some quality time together. Her reaction was that of joy and I know she appreciated it as much as a platter of silver or gold. Like a...

I would rather have the new illegals get direct assistance through an EBT card rather than going to crooked politicians in Central American countries. I've maintained that if we are going to give foreign aid, 90% should go to the poor who need it rather than to the deep pockets of corrupt...

This is amazing; my right foot shows Roman. I have an Italian surname.

I may sound too simplistic here, but financial freedom for me lies in not wanting so much. I spend less that what I make and try to set aside a little for small luxuries or emergencies. I enjoy sharing a little with others who are in need or to a worthy cause. Sometimes spending a little bit on...

Are you moved to tears by certain music, movies, acts of compassion, or the best example, Jesus' Passion? Crying and shedding tears of joy, love, and devotion is an excellent way to really FEEL the presence rather than an intellectual endeavor.

Maybe work a few hours a day in an art store, part-time; paint; look into selling some art on E-Bay; allow some time everyday for devotion to God. Praying for you!

There is something about the liturgy that feeds my soul and uplifts me most of the time. I don't fret about how the other people may behave or misbehave. For the most part I usually meet excellent specimens of humanity. I try not to set standards for other members who attend the same church.

Now that I'm back in the South, I'm feeling happy and fulfilled. Just saying it is great!

In a sense, the South is America's third world. However, there are many things I like about the South: in general, more genteel behavior, lower cost of living, life seems to be simpler, much beauty, and tradition. Money doesn't always make a place so desirable.

The physical is subject to decay. Sickness? No, it's simply physical. Spirit is eternal, ageless, and never breaks down.

Why would any intelligent, sensible person want to visit any of these countries in the first place? It matters little if they are heterosexual or homosexual.

My idea would be to slowly decrease the age requirement for Medicare down to age 50. For the rest, offer reasonably priced private insurance with deductibles paid for by Uncle Sam. There would be strict policies for those who want to show up at emergency rooms with just a cough, minor cut, or...

Perception is reality and I welcome any Republicans to defend their positions. I perceive the GOP as traditionalists and unwilling to move with the times. I perceive many Republicans simply worship the God of Mammon. Do they really care about the poor except as a means of furthering their...

Twnsrkr, your comments are over the top. Are you sure you're not a troll? My healthcare needs are taken care of, but I certainly care about those who are less fortunate. Obamacare may need some tweaking, but eventually I believe it will work out. Hospitals and doctors will get paid, insurance...

We already have more than enough anti-Christs throughout the world today and throughout history. If one's not doing Godly works he is anti Christ.

Set up a three month plan for your BIL's exit. You have really gone the extra mile for compassion and assistance.
