I visit the nursing home at least once a month, after that my issues seem a lot less pressing. Persecuted? I still go to Church where I want, carry my Bible where I want, don't feel my life or my families life is in danger for my beliefs. I have not been told to leave my home or my job...

Often the issue is that when young he never prepared himself to be a good husband, father and provider. A wife is to respect her husband, some find it hard to do when they have to support her husband and the family. Yes lazy is not to be tolerated, but a man should have a plan to support his...

Lifestyle means more than words.

One of the keys to a long happy marriage is leaning to fight well, this includes apologies when called for.

Great Scripture reference, I like to go ahead and read chapter 13 and 14, they kind of tie together and help give understanding of this topic. IMO

Re: How many think this is rational beahvior? And what does it do to the Christian bo My father passed away suddenly at the age of 50. I miss him even now (22+ years later). But I rejoice that he knew Jesus as his savior and is in heaven today. I wouldn't want to pray him back, he really is...

Did Paul not have faith enough to be healed? 2 Corinthians 12:7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. 2 Corinthians 12:8 For...

Personally I would never tell someone not to read the Word for themselves. Seems Paul never thought that was the proper way? Acts 17:10 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. Acts 17:11 These were more...

Wonder why Isaiah told them to put figs on the king? 2 Kings 20:6 And I will add unto thy days fifteen years; and I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake. 2 Kings 20:7 And Isaiah...

My youngest son was born in 1990, he still seems like a little kid to me. Yesterday I got a txt message from him that said he had rededicated his life to the Lord! Last night he called and spoke to me about his Bible! He has been in the Army a little over three years now, spent one of them...

I have lost many friends and officiated many funerals, death does and should bring reflection. But true friends always tell you the truth. Sometimes the truth is not easy to tell and not easy to hear. We must always defend the Gospel. But sometimes we are our own worst enemy: 2 Timothy 2:14...

It would take very little imagination to think in the devils playbook might be listed: How to stir up division in the body: 1) Ask about what translation is best. 2) Ask what music is best for worship. I stated in my previous post that I am NOT KJV only, but I see no profit in the kingdom of...

I choose to abstain, others choose different. 1 Corinthians 10:23 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.

Please consider: Galatians 6:10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

It is so refreshing to hear a young lady asking God's approval BEFORE anything happens. Seems we always want God to fix our relationships, but never want Him involved in the decision making process. My youngest son is about your age, I pray he would have such mature attitude.
