A good man!

The Lord is contrasting true righteousness with hypocrisy - or even, fleshly righteousness. True righteousness consists of keeping things between you and God, inasmuch as you can, and as far as it is good to, whilst fleeing from requiring or wanting the praise of men. What He is doing here is...

I have to add: Brother, if you are in need of this stuff to feel good, I suspect that you perhaps haven't yet, "tasted and seen that the Lord is good", His graces that He gives you by the Spirit are far better than any of these things. How's your prayer life, and Bible reading habits? I've...

Stay absolutely as far away from this stuff as possible; even something as simple as acupuncture is profane business to God. It's all demons doing your bidding. I was involved with energy healing stuff, but the Lord showed me that it's all just mediumship. Avoid any and every kind of...

Poetry may be something the Lord has gifted you grace for (that kind of thing does happen) Do pray about it!

Let us presume, for the sake of discussion, that it is a demon that is doing this, or the devil himself - he will do as many things as are necessary to draw you away from God, or to draw you to a place where you will do wrong so that God will punish you. (Which He does do, in this life time)...

There would be no conditions nor consequences for your vow, since it wasn't accepted by God. :)

Fear of the Lord I understand to be awe and reverence, and like how a son might respect his father who is a king. How do you see it?

A vow given without full understanding is treated much more lightly than one given with understanding. Friend, you would actually have had to know exactly what you're getting into, in order for it to be that binding. As a Christian and one who knows Jesus Christ - He does not behave like your...

What is your favorite instance In your life where God was patient with you? :) Gideon and the fleece is a funny one. He put the fleece out three times, right?

I have read of John Hyde doing the same. He was also close to God - he said he was arguing with God about why he shouldn't do something. It makes me think! It would be lovely to be that close to God.

I think Moses became humble because he spent time with God, but before he must've not been! I recently saw how he kept making excuses when God told him to go to the Israelites. Seriously gutsy! I wonder what the Lord thinks of us as individuals, about our personalities and odd quirks. Surely...

Another danger of inappropriate contentography of any sort is that over time it desensitises a person to such content, so that over time they will need more and more stimulating (that is, morally worse) content to have the same effect. That is the nature of the flesh with anything it likes. However, with...

I'm surprised by how Moses directly questioned God - I mean, He knew Him in a highly literal way. I can't help but think he has either great guts, or a bad temper!

You should ask for advice about this topic. :) I'll pray for you.

I do not like voting, since to me it is that if I vote for the person and they're a flagrant sinner, I will be endorsing them and their activities; I would be sharing in their sins. It would be different if the person was a devout, praying Christian, but who would that be?

You would have to go on my profile and click, "Start a Conversation"

PM me sometime, man! You forgot to do so :)

Try some calmer styles of music, man. Ask God to change your tastes by His grace to suit His will for you. The thing is, a lot of the stuff we listen to now isn't acceptable to Him. Don't listen to anything you wouldn't consider spiritually wholesome and acceptable - but this is an acquired...

It's more important to grow as Christians, being filled with the Spirit and having our inner man renewed day by day, than to know when the night is coming. Why worry about the inevitable? You will know when it comes; it will be most obvious to Christians. The worst thing is - all this stuff...
