Its a fascinating concept that is completely contradictory to instinctual human nature, not that that should be an all knowing guide of course. Merlin Carothers really pioneered it apparently. Not many people could praise Jesus when their child is dying or their adult son or daughter made...
“Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord.” Psalms 150:6. Do we really consider how much we have to be thankful for? Do we remember that the mercies of the Lord are new every morning and that His faithfulness faileth not? Do we acknowledge our dependence upon Him and express gratitude...
I could have posted this within the original thread/post but I decided to start a new post. Apologies for any confusion.....
First and most importantly I want to give praise to GOD for answering prayer to restore a friendship and a softening of a coworkers heart. There is much more progress...
Sometimes you go just go blank when praying. Other times it goes smooth as butter. I think we all could improve our prayer to God. I can say my prayers when I was a young believer is a whole lot different than it is today. I use to pray for God to see my tithe and bless it 20, 60, and a...

my voice and my pleas for mercy.
Because he inclined his ear to me,
therefore I will call on him as long as I live.
The snares of death encompassed me;
the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me;
I suffered distress and anguish...

How are you? I'm looking for a same gender female prayer and accountability partner for purity. My boyfriend and I are courting. While this has been happening my accountability partner moved and has hit hard times and has been unable to meet with me or email me as much. Please...
I am thankful for the knowledge and opportunity to pass on information about eustachian tube dysfunction and hyperacusis to a coworker who was struggling with it for so long while her doctors misdiagnosed her or told her it was all in her head. She doesn't feel so lost about it now. Right place...

Attending a religious ceremony in a church does not make you a Christian.

Imagine if you will a wagon with a driver being pulled by two horses. The two horses are your mind and your emotions. The driver is your will and the cart is your body. The two horses, your mind and emotions, will take your body, the cart, wherever your will, the driver, wants to go. Simple...
