That's great WCM! Yeah, opportunities are endless it seems. Just the other day, another coworker and I had to call a local vendor for a part we needed at work. So I called him right there on the cell phone, and the guy was pretty stressed about his 22 yr old daughter having medical problems -...

I believe all the examples in the bible of it...they were praising God, or "declaring the wonders of God". Acts 2 Acts 10 Some people seem to think that tongues are the sign of receiving the filling of the Holy Spirit, but the bible does not actually say this, and I do not think it. Acts 8

Well...yeah, but we don't always know how to pray as we should ... right?

Yeah, I had this period of time a few years back, where EVERY SINGLE WEEK, the Lord would be showing me something in my life, and then I'd go to church that Sunday, and there the pastor would be talking about it. Lord, please guide us and help us to walk in wisdom... with an open ear... and a...

It's not for everyone, but if there are any reading this, and feel that they might be interested in ministering at care centers...it is the most easy pickings in the world for getting people saved. It has been one of the most fruitful endeavors in my whole life doing this. And except for a few...

Now the funny thing about the elderly at care centers is they are forgotten people…for the most part. Many people there, have been placed there by their children who just couldn’t take care of them at home. Some were placed there by their spouses who couldn't take care of them. Many...

OK. Here’s another one. As a family we were in the habit of going on Christian retreats to seek the Lord. I firmly believe that Christians need time away from work and the daily grind, so that they can do this, at least 1, 2, or 3 times a year for refreshing in the Spirit, and seeking...

Click HERE to see post_#22 which I believe addresses this. Job confessed and sacrificed for his children's sins, even ones he didn't know about. Also Daniel's prayer in Dan Ch 9, he confesses the sins of Israel even though he is not a priest.

Yeah..I hate it when I find myself doing "mechanical praying". Been there done that for sure. It seems to come when I make these "well laid out plans" for when I'm going to pray, read the word, etc. It can take the place of true love for...and intimacy with... Jesus (if you're not careful). Our...

Your Journal Notes sounds almost exactly like something my wife would have written. Very good observations IMO. As far as experiencing wrongs, I believe the Lord can use them for our own good. Great trials are usually when we Christians make our greatest steps closer to the Lord. That is my...

Perhaps - I never really felt the need to forgive God, even though I was told by a friend at work that He would blame God in a situation like that, or question His existance. I never experienced any of that myself, and It was understood that the problem was caused through the sins of mankind...

Now picture a hypothetical situation, where a spouse repeatedly commits a wrong against the other spouse. An alchoholic husband would be a perfect example, and when he drinks he is abusive to his wife. To expect the wife to forgive and forget is quite absurd. The husband may come to the wife...

Right on Valley Gal - I do believe you have succinctly stated it. The human mind does tend to forget the painful feelings from a wrong, or a hurt, through the process of repeatedly forgiving. And that process is nothing to be ashamed of. It is just the way that we are wired. Another...

I agree, Christians should forgive, but it's the forgetting part that people usually have a problem with. Just because we forgive, we do not necessarily simply forget, as some think we should. We should not remember with vengeance in our hearts - that is wrong. But to remember with the purpose...

"Your sins and iniquities I will remember no more." (Heb 8:12, 10:17) "For if you forgive others for their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive your transgressions." (Matt 6: 14,15)) Sorry for the...

Exactly! :clap:

Seeing how I've never started a thread here, I'm not sure what you are accusing me of being guilty of? Anyways, as far as Americans go, you do understand that one doesn't need to be born an American in order to live in America. It is by nature, a country of immigrants, and if you never heard...

Well in your first post you said you "Wanted to get views here on what posters think of unchurched christians." But in this post it certainly seems like you just want to tell people what they should or shouldn't think. The bible says to not forsake the assembling together of christians. If...

Yep... same here...makes much more sense to you and me, but to them..., it's foolishness, and they do not seem to be able to hear it. Some...very few ... at some point... become convinced of the truth however. Antony Flew for example, and when he did, all the rest of his old friends dropped...

And if there is a spirit in science today, I suspect with the majority of atheistic scientists... it is the spirit of antichrist.
