    "What do you mean by faith?"

    This is a thread for those that have the strongest faith, since these questions have "stumbled" many since Augustine. Some religions define faith as not your own belief, but belief that God has given to you. Therefore, only those that are given faith are saved (Single Predestination), and the...

    How Important Is It To Be Saved?

    (Note: See updated area.) I want to be saved. I want the pain and suffering to be over for everyone. And I want to see Jesus. But how much can a person want to be saved until they are (update)--->crossing over into selfish territory? Moses offered up his own soul for God to spare the children...

    God Is!!

    Does God exist? That is, does He have being? Yes! But the Bible (KJV) never uses the term 'exist' (or 'exists') when referring to God. It says, quite simply, that God 'is' (eg. Hebrews 11:6). This term goes far beyond the mention of God as a mere being. It is equivalent to the great I AM THAT...

    Is Your Salvation Secure?

    I'm quite sure that I'm not the only Christian in the world who has experienced doubt and uncertainty in my faith over the years, but hopefully this may help some to allow such a thing to be opened up and treated, rather than to fester in the dark as is so often the case. I myself spent many...

    Rest in Jesus Our Sabbath

    Hebrews 4 1 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. 2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. 3...

    Dependence On God

    Are you weary? Are you troubled over any circumstances in your life? Is your heart heavy over any of life’s situations? Are you being ill-treated? Abused? Rejected? Hated? Persecuted for righteousness’ sake? Do the troubles in your life seem to outnumber the hairs on your head? If so, there is...

    Not Ever Forsaken

    Love One Another Hebrews 13:1-3 NIV Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters. Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it. Continue to remember those in prison as if you were together with them in...

    Those Who Love God

    In All Things Romans 8:28-30 NIV And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and...

    Six Months in and I'm Already Doubting My Salvation

    I feel scared and condemned because I've never felt joy in God. I have no feeling of affection for Him! I know that joy is a fruit of the Holy Spirit, so the fact that I don't have it terrifies me. I know that Christians should fight for their joy, but how can one fight for their joy if they're...

    Insecure Assurance Dream

I had a dream where a friend, also in the faith, and I were going to see a wise older man at his house. On the way to the house we stopped and got supermarket takeaway sandwiches I do not...

On the way to the house we stopped and got supermarket takeaway sandwiches I do not remember was hers was but mine was chicken with salad or fajita style not sure. We each ate of one the two...
