    The real presence of the Lord, Jesus Christ, in holy communion.

    for me anyway, this is not a scholastically achieving undertaking, rather, it is in the simplicity that is in Christ, namely, we are most like the Lord when we are forgiving, and merciful, and caring for the welfare, the well being of others. As it is written: If any man serve me, let him follow...

    In Keeping Them

    Yes indeed, many which profess Christ are still conforming to this world at every turn, and have abandoned the renewing of their mind; and beside this, many do not deny their own will, but still insist on it; and until now do not make the sincere effort to submit to and rely upon the Word of...

    Has anyone ever suffered domestic violence and their attacker reformed?

    Please cast away all secular notions of what man's wisdom teaches, and rather learn to not think above that which is written, where there is no exaggeration or over-estimation, but only Truth: as for suffering, as it is written; it is better to suffer for well doing than for evil doing: so if we...

    How can I die to self?

    It is a matter of lacking faith: seeing therefore that faith cometh by hearing the Word of God; then we must needs more abundantly hear the Word of God; and hearing is submitting to and relying upon the Word of God. As for denying self: we can only follow the Lord Jesus Christ in Truth when we...

    Is this God's correction or Satan's attack?

    It is written: Take no thought for the morrow; for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself: Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. That is, Let today's own troubles be sufficient for today, and we need not to think for tomorrow.

    How do I become slow to anger?

    for me anyway, we must needs learn from our Lord Jesus Christ what is acceptable anger with a cause, and how He Himself responded: we see in (Mark 3:5) that the only anger that is acceptable with God is the grief of another's hardness of heart, and nothing wavering: after this we then behold the...

    He proposed

    Apart from not being able to trust him, the only other issue is Yes and No: Matthew 5:37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil. If we lack wisdom, let us ask of God, who gives to all liberally, and deters not, and it shall be...

    Plans and Paths

    Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. John 12:26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my...

    Frustrated by this bible verse

    it is written: I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me; and again, I do not frustrate the grace of God.

    What are the characteristics of a false convert?

    [for me anyway] such things as compromise is common in this world, but not with God; for with God there is no place of compromise. When one truly believes, they shall repent and own their sins; but they that believe not will not own their sins, save when their sin is exposed. The actual...

    Is it bad to have good things?

    As the Holy Ghost, the Holy Spirit of Truth gave the Apostle Paul understanding in (1 Corinthians 6:12) saying, "All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any." So also we, that although we are...

    Money Matters

    Can anyone please point me to some good money management books that cover topics such as investing and planning for retirement? [for anyway] the only book needed is the Holy Bible, teaching us such things as not to trust in uncertain riches; to be ready to distribute, willing to communicate; to...

    Should I judge people off the Bible??

    They that believe on the Lord Jesus Christ are the ones that first have denied their own will, that they may submit to and rely upon the Word of God, and actually follow the steps (the example) of the Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore concerning judgment (i.e. evaluating, determining, concluding) the...

    What are the most important things?

    As for after death, it is written that as it is appointed once unto all men to die, but after this the judgment. As for obtaining eternal life, a certain jailer asked Paul and Silas what must he do to be saved; they answered, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved and thy...

    Til death do us part refers to the first death, that is, the flesh: as for in heaven they do not marry nor are given in marriage according to the Lord Jesus Christ.

    How Do You Meditate on Scripture?

    [for me anyway] the way it works is: Faith cometh only by hearing the Word of God, and by none other; and hearing is not mere listening, but is to submit to and rely upon God's Word: along with this is that we must learn to not think above that which is written, that we may avoid exaggeration...
