    John 15:5. "Without me you can do nothing" *but* 'neither need you do *everything* with Me'

    Hi there, So I thought this was a neat angle, on something Jesus said - something which is hard to learn: that is, Jesus said (the emphasis being on "apart from Me you can do nothing") This seems daunting, at first, because there is a lot we would like to be able to do, without Jesus, or at...

    God had me, the moment I confessed my sin. All my back-sliding washed away.

    Hi there, So I struggled for a long time, about being a backslider, about not being diligent in the faith - which I had come to know. For a long, long time I thought that fixing the backsliding was something I had to do. I tried confessing, I tried baptism, I tried changing my faith - none of...

    We Are Not Called To Conform To This World

    Recently, I have been corresponding with a few fellow Christian’s to include here on Christian Forums who have stated that they have had enough of trying to fit in with other’s who claim to be Christians in modern “church” venues and yet do most everything in a way that conforms to this world...

    We Are All Called To Minister

    Throughout the world there are many who make the claim to be Christian and yet remain spiritually dead. They may read the bible, go to a local church, pray, and yet they remain spiritually separated from God. These so-called believers do all kinds of 'good' works in the name of the Lord and most...

    God is teaching me about myself. Is this normal?

    Fruit

    Sometimes I think God is just in my life to make it plain weird. I'm only half kidding. I know that those of you who truly know Him know exactly what I mean. :) Yesterday, I suddenly had a vision of Jesus sowing seeds on a field. One by one, and then they grew up, one by one. Then they turned...

    Don't let the birds overhead hinder the effort to sow seeds

    The enemies approach on us is very similar to the approach taken on Jesus in the wilderness temptation. It attacks all areas of human living. Body, mind and spirit. Emotion, intellect and will. From how we worship and serve, in our physical necessities, to our spiritual activity. FI= There is...

    I hated my mom before I loved her.

    Original link: Mom – Heavenly Plastics I hated my mom before I loved her. I love my mom dearly, but it wasn't always that way. This Mother's Day, I don't get to see her, but it gives me some time to reflect on our relationship and how it's come to be what it is now. My mother is...
