Hi PinkSpider. Noted the string you had with oi_antz and thought it was good. More of your integrity. For me it is all a bit circular because the more I have gotten to know God, the more I recognise His fingerprints through the Bible, and vica verca. But my 'knowledge' of God started with...

Good advice from Emmy Musician4Jesus. I can't add anything better. Emmy, you speak like you know Him. Terry M

I agree Manitouscott. I think that all God asks of us at any time is our best endeavour. If that's what we are giving Him - eventhough we may judge it as not much - then I think we just tell Him that as honestly as we can and He'll do the rest. I have found in fact that sometimes this is when...

Hi Willowbee. Great question. For me, the purpose of our whole effort is to come to know our loving and living God - ie to follow the Great commandment. My relationship with God depends on my understanding of His nature - so that I can recognise Him and recognise what is likely to be His...

Hi Musician4Jesus You can be absolutely guaranteed that God wants you to love and help others. That's what the Great Commandment is all about. As far as being able to see the results of your work is concerned, we just don't understand what God can do with our piddling little five loaves and a...

Hi Fallenorange. I was at the edge of suicide 9 years ago and am so glad I didn't go through with it that day. The deveil tells us lies - like: 'get rid of the baby and your troubles will be over' That's a lie. Another one is 'you may as well take your life, then the pain will stop.' That's...

HI folks, It really is lonely in many ways being a Christian and following Christ. I think it is the most personal journey we take. But I've also found that once we get into it - it's not that it's self sustaining - it's that I believe that God sustains it. I've lived my life in this...

Hi all, I only joined a month or so ago - and primarily because of a new book I published - and wanting to share it. I haven't been involved in forums for many years, and despite my original intention I am really encouraged by a lot of the love and wisdome that comes through in some of the...

Hi JSRDRNR, It's tough going against the traditions of your local Church. I enjoy the teaching of people like Joyce Myer - as well as the wife of the minister of my own church (who incidently often leads the services) - great faith and love and wisdom. If our first priority is to lead people...

Hi Musian4Jesus. I was hurt several years ago. The Faith returned, the Love returned, but the Hope too several years to return. So what you are experiencing is not unusual - though very uncomfortable. I like Joey Downunder's prayer for you - and join in that prayer. All God asks is that you...

Hi Musician4Jesus. We get our main info about the nature of God from the Bible, but not all of it. Tust that He is a loving Father - better an any earthly Father; our Abba - our Dad - as Jesus described in the beginning of the Lord's Payer. He loves us more than we can ever imagine. I'm a...

Hi Pink Spider. I'm not sure what the point of the whole debate is all about. i see a whole lot of people debating something that to me is a sideshow. The 'Main Game' is to develope a loving relationship with our God - to love each other - and to love ourselves - really - deeply. These three...

Love it. Thanks Colleen1. Have passed it on to one of our home groups. Blessings Terry M

Hi SavedByGrace82. Two things I have discovered. One is that God will bless your efforts - and I liked your idea of the secret letters posted around the woods. The second is that God does't necesarily need us to talk about Him. I truggled with this for several years in my work. As others...

Hi Nick316. I noted you said you have sought out tips on how to stop thinking all day, and I think that that was a good thing for you to do. You also seemed to be saying that the tips made a difference. One of the lies satan tells us is that we have to know everything, know about everything...

Hi Nick316. Lot's of stuff comes into our minds all the time. God is a loving and forgiving and patient Father. That's why he sent us Jesus. Recognise the thoughts that are constructive and loving and that you know are good for you. Give these 'air time' - ponder them - follow them and...

How do I know which bits to take literally and which not to? For me it all starts with my knowledge and understanding of my God - particularly His nature - His love for us - His care that we live in His peace and wholeness. I then see if what I'm reading fits with this. I wrote a book...
