    Be Still

    Based off Psalm 37 and 46 An Original Work / February 29, 2012 Christ’s Free Servant, Sue J Love God’s our refuge and our strength, An ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, Though the mountains fall into the sea. The Lord Almighty is with us; God of Jacob is our fortress...

    Love Is, Is Not

    “Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all...

    Hope, Patience, and Prayer

    “Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.” (Romans 12:12 ESV) Hope Now I am not going to look up a bunch of words today, so I am going to just share my understanding here on this word “hope,” for this is me having my quiet time with the Lord and letting him speak to...

    Be Patient! Be Steadfast!

    “Be patient, therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it, until it receives the early and the late rains. You also, be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand. Do not grumble...

    But the Fruit of the Spirit is

    “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. “If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep...

    How to have patience while waiting for a possible proposal?

    A couple months ago I told my boyfriend I wanted to marry him, and... we haven't really had any talks that would count as "deliberately moving us closer to marriage." But I mean, it's only been 9 months of dating, and I had told him before that I wanted to wait a year before getting married...

    Finding a job (and patience in waiting)

    Hi there, My name is Steve, and I'm new around here, so thanks for having me! One thing you should know about me is that, although I've been a Christian for over half my life, I've just really struggled with asking people to pray for me. I don't really know why because it's not like I've had...

    If by patience, you possess your soul, to the end - you will not enter tribulation

    Hi there, So Jesus gave us a very clear command that can be interpreted as a promise (when it comes to salvation): He said "By patience possess your souls" (Luke 21:19). He also said "He who endures to the end will be saved" (Matthew 24:13). If you combine these two things, the power of the...

    Why does God allow suffering? Bear in mind, those that don't need a perfect distraction, suffer less

    Hello, There are so many ways to answer that God does everything He can to avoid or abate suffering, that it can seem like no one has a definitive answer. However, we can start to understand that God is in the midst of suffering. For example, that God is able to distract us from suffering. The...

    Learn from Saul's mistake - Be patient

    1 Samuel 13:8-14 8 He waited seven days, the time set by Samuel; but Samuel did not come to Gilgal, and Saul’s men began to scatter. 9 So he said, “Bring me the burnt offering and the fellowship offerings.” And Saul offered up the burnt offering. 10 Just as he finished making the offering...

    Rest on this: God is asking you to do something, but He is not asking you to do everything!

    Hi there, So yes, mental health (general struggles, whatever you want to call it) can be a tricky thing. One thing that is important, is that we do not trip ourselves up - that we do not create mental habits that are not ultimately helpful. You can criticise the Devil without authority all you...

    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...

    You don't need to eradicate your schizophrenic-ness, just make it workable...

    Hi there, So this is more directed, at those that were born with "schizophrenia" but it can apply to schizophrenic-ness that has been abused or maligned. The point is simply this, the Devil is the one that sets the standard of mental health at "completely normal" - but we must get angry and...

    Searching for the "One"

    This has been an interesting year for all of us. Christian fellowship is hard to find now, especially depending on where you live (referring to the United States in particular). With this pandemic raging on, I have a question for all of you. Is there "the One" out there somewhere? I will...

    Truth: You can not be resurrected, without being still.

    Hi there, So, yes, I have come across this learning, in my bearing forth with the Lord: Scripturally, this is evidenced by the truth that Jesus said "I am the resurrection", He did not say "I will be the resurrection" - as if to say, that it hinged on Him knowing something else or becoming...
