Now, in the United States, we have what is called the "cancel culture". What I understand is that cancel culture is partly a reaction to how evangelicals are working to pass laws which end things like gay marriage and abortion and transgender surgery. Cancel culture can try to shut down...

One basic for preparing for marriage and other close relationships, and doing well in close sharing, is we grow in Jesus while feeding on His word.

"But we were gentle among you, just as a nursing mother cherishes her own children ." (1 Thessalonians 2:7) This how Paul and Silvanus and Timothy say they related with the children of God in Thessalonica. Possibly, God used nursing mothers to help these great men see how our Father would have...

. . . how He pleases. So rest in Him. He is so greater than we are, and so more than the universe. Ones are making discoveries about how vast and great the universe is, and God is so more and better than whatever scientists can discover about this universe :) So, be kind, gentle, "with...

only what You have me do honestly with love don't try to be more than others share in prayer with all the others praying with God in His Holy Spirit of love and how He guides us together "praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God" (in Jude 20-21) submissive to You the...

"Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us." (Romans 8:37) One way we are more than conquerors is that our methods are better. And our methods get what is better than what conquerors get with their methods.

"nor as being lords over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock." (1 Peter 5:3) First is to be with God, so our example is in the sight of God.

"God resists the proud," we have in James 4:6 and also in 1 Peter 5:5. One thing I get out of this is that we have God effectively resisting all the evil people. So, even while it can seem like wrong people are doing as they please . . . no . . . God is keeping them in their place; Satan is not...

Yesterday, I went to the grocery store, and I prayed as I went, about which food things to get. Then I got to the counter, to be told my debit card would not work. The debit card service was not working, they did not know why. So, I did not have access to my money for groceries. And I woke up...

Ephesians 4:31-32 says > "Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you." (Ephesians 4:31-32) So, I see this is saying there are things...

"Gourmet Alley" Beneath the morning sky's blue sea, in dumpster alley land the mighty man of history is now the garbage man, who shoulders-to those big steel bins to feed his mighty Mack who munches down a ton of trash and says, "That's quite a snack!" Mack plays steel bins like accordians...

Jesus says > "'But when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be troubled; for such things must happen, but the end is not yet.'" (Mark 13:7) What does this mean, that wars "must" happen? And how do we apply this?

Hi :) In Proverbs 12:23 we have that "The prudent man conceals knowledge". What does this mean, and how do we practice this? Thanks, and God bless us :)

Ephesians 4:31 > "Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice." Colossians 3:8 > "But now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth." So, I see that "wrath" and "anger"...

I am sure I am not the only one with ideas about this :) So, I plan to wait a little, while anyone else cares to share about this. Do you think the gospel of God's kingdom, the gospel of grace, and the gospel of baptism for repentance for the remission of sins are all the same gospel? Or, are...

Jesus says, "'Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.'" (Luke 12:40) I would say that in order to be ready for an event, we need to have in us now what we will need to have during the event. If you want to be ready for a football game, you now...

Oh-oh . . . I think a major cause of a lot of trouble is how I . . . do not know the difference between real love and selfish love. And if I am able to so fool myself, what am I supposed to do? I put this here, in this forum where all Christian Forum members are welcome to share your input...

Hi :) I am learning Spanish so I can say things about God and quote scriptures, in Spanish. And I have seen how I can get special blessings through the Spanish, which I did not get through the English. I think this is because our Christian Spanish speaking translators are ministering to me...

With God, we can make good use of things. But God is all-loving; so the good He brings through trouble, even, will have His all-loving benefit. For example, we have all that happened to Joseph > Genesis 37-50. But God was with Joseph, but not only did God bless Joseph who was being faithful...

"Be still, and know that I am God;" (in Psalm 46:10) "He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two; He burns the chariot in the fire. Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! The...
