    What Spiritual Gifts Have You Experienced?

    I liked your post "hobart schmedly". It was what I was trying to say in my earlier post where I have been able to use certain 'gifts' in specific situations yet I know that these are not the gifts given to me. I just became the tool at that time. The 'gifts' are those that are always present...

    Psalm 86: Teach me your way, O LORD , and I will walk in your truth; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name. Psalm 111: The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise. Proverbs 14: He...

    what is the 'fear of god'?

    I think the word fear is used in the bible because that is exactly what is meant and it is the most appropriate word in our language for the meaning God wants us to have. Fear of the Lord means fear of the Lord and not any other word. I think we need to be very careful when we start replacing...

    Question on speaking in tongues

    Xnot a citizenX, dont take the rest of this post the wrong way. It is not a criticism but just trying to point out that we are not always aware of Gods plans and His timings. You should continue to believe in God, accept salvation through Jesus Christ and continue to spend time examining His...

    what is the 'fear of god'?

    Hmmm. Interesting subject. I had a personal experience about 2 years ago. I have been a 'born again' Christian for the last 10 years. I had often been challenged over the years about the 'fear the Lord' stuff. Well, I was in a situation where I had some time to kill and was oing...

    The old testament is full of wars where God sent His people into battle. In ALL cases he sent a small army in against a bigger stronger army. In some cases the leaders were instructed to send home most of their troops so that God could prove His power and also it was Him that was to receive the...
