Sorry you think so. Colossians 3:23 and 1 Corinthians 16:14. Without love, there is no point to anything. Peace to you. In Christ, Daryl

A very nice response; thank you. My reply was directed primarily at the question in the OP (and not the OP personally, of course). I do agree with you that some discussions can be fruitful, though we are cautioned to avoid the ones we feel are fruitless. It takes wisdom to discern the...

I've little time for the forums these days, sadly, but this topic prompted me to reply. When I see topics like this, my first thought -- and also challenge -- for those concerned with things such as this is taken from John 21:22 and paraphrased as follows: "If it is my will that Hitler gets...

You got it. :) And God made the promise, so it's a done deal. It's a really good thing it doesn't depend on us! In Christ, Daryl

You're on my list, so you're getting them. :) Not that this is the ideal case, but even if you did fall away, you would still be in his hands forever. He is faithful even when we aren't or can't be, for whatever reason. I say this because the fear that you may be falling away is just a...

I have seen you say that Jesus is Lord. This can only be done through the holy spirit (1 Corinthians 12:3), and Romans 10:9 confirms that you will be saved. You may relax, rejoice, and tell the lying thoughts where to go in the name of Jesus. :) I can certainly pray with you that you will...

Finding true friends can be difficult in today's society -- even in church, and finding someone special can be nigh impossible. It's one of the reasons I'd been wanting to leave the country in favor of a country whose people live mostly from their hearts, and doing that made a world of...

In one of the very few times I attended Sunday school as a child, I was given a portion of a verse to memorize, and I have never forgotten it. I offer it to you now, because you, too, can come to the Father as a child, and he will take you into his arms like the beloved son you are. The...

Welcome, TeoWenJie, and grace and peace to you from our Father and our Lord Jesus. I mean this sincerely, as I suffered from a profound lack of both at your age, and I do not wish for you to suffer as well. I empathize strongly with your feelings. As Radrook expressed, I don't feel that God...

Welcome again to you, brother. I can only imagine that your testimony must be an exceptionally powerful one. If you are inspired to share it one day, I will be very interested in reading it. May grace and love continue to abound in you more and more until the day of Christ Jesus, our Lord! In...

Thanks so much for the update! It literally brought tears to my eyes. I am very grateful to God for his work and blessings in your lives! In Christ, Daryl

Greetings to you, Michelangelo, and grace and peace in the name of our Father and our Lord Jesus. There is so much to say on this topic, but because my time is limited, I'll just give an overview. I quite like the video. Expanding on the verse it mentions, the entire passage is Ephesians...

Honestly, I don't think so. You're concerned enough to seek help and to ask the question, which I think is entirely healthy and right. If you were not concerned, logically, it would be for one of two reasons: 1) you don't care, or 2) your faith and the armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18) sustain...

I want to sincerely thank you for your honesty here and commend you for your courage. Very well done! Those were all very important things to say. I very much understand the need for deep connections, as it's something I've personally felt since my earliest childhood. I was never able to have...

You bet, and that's really good to hear. If, after giving the counseling a good solid try, you don't feel that it's working for you, we can revisit the spiritual perspective once again. But I'm really hoping this will work for you and will be praying for that. :) In Christ, Daryl

Still with you in prayer, Zack. The previous poster's suggestion may be a good option, since what you're experiencing didn't seem to me to be spiritual based on our previous conversation. If this therapy is something that you're able to seek out, it might indeed be worth a try. In any case, I...

To address your primary question, if you look closely at the verses that sdowney717 kindly supplied, along with the preceding verses (Matthew 12:22-24), you can see that what Jesus said was unforgivable was the Pharisees' action of attributing to Satan (effectively) the miracle that Jesus had...

Welcome to you, Jon, and grace and peace to you from our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ. I would agree that you are indeed onto something with that line of thinking. :) For now, I would just like to offer Romans 8:22-25 and Isaiah 46:9-10 for your consideration, but there are many, many...

Well, I can't presume to guess what God knows about the possibilities for your life. What I can say is that you're right where he wants you at this moment, based on who you are at this moment. I can also say that you are a work in progress (Philippians 1:6), so where you are a year, a month...

Happy to serve, Sarah. I'll add you to my prayer list as well. :) Please do update us if there's anything specific we can pray for, ok? In Christ, Daryl
