Thank you Deborah....thank you. I have been fighting alcoholism,and I should know better. I thought I could control it, but I can't. I can have a few and be ok, but eventually it gets to the point where it affects my judgement...I can now come to terms with the fact that even one drink will...

Ya, that's where I'm at...my sin is overwhelming me, but I can at least thank God and find comfort in his discipline...I'm thankful that he doesn't give me joy in the midst of my sin...

No, I guess not...thanks for noticing. I don't ever ask for prayer, but I think now is the time... Thanks sister...

This may be true...but God works all things for the good of those who love him... Before I submitted to God, I was reading the Da Vinci Code and Joel Osteen's, "Your best life now" After reading the Da vinci code, I felt a need to read every historical document with regard to God...It was...

You guys must be more holy than me... I find myself addressing my own sin TODAY, which is plentiful, rather than arguing about the future...

I have a right to judge my brethren... ...and my judgement is that we argue too much...my advice would be for us too all just shut up and close the website, but we're all too prideful for that. We should be spreading the good news and encouraging another...but that is not what's happening.

Matthew 6:25-34New American Standard Bible (NASB) The Cure for Anxiety “For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?

The only negativity comes from those who argue, especially those who argue about the future. I do not worry about the future....

I'm so sick of us arguing amongst ourselves....pre trib, post trib, whatever....all I see are pompous asses. Let us humble ourselves and live as one.

Who cares? Does anybody understand what it means to live in the Spirit? Why do people seem to fear, or at least question the future?

Popular Christians are making big bucks...they better be teaching the truth.

Thanks, this thread has actually been very edifying for me, even in ways not related to the thread. It's a joy to study these passages and the edification that comes from them as we delve into our studies. I think the important thing in all of this is that we agree that we are to encourage...

If we move ahead several verses to verse 39, Paul says "but we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the preserving of the soul." (Hebrews 10:39 NASB) He's clearly making a distinction between those who have faith and the apostates who don't. How can...

How are you sure that it's not the same spirit that condemned Jesus for "working" on the Sabbath, and then wanted to kill him for it?

Ya, it's very hard... I was in a discussion forum once when an atheist was being very insulting, not only to me, but toward the concept of God and His word...very hurtful. (go figure, right?) During the argument he told me to just make like a good little christian and turn the other cheek. I...

It's amazing how this subject continues to dominate the forums... For those of you who are palpably challenged, if you can lose your salvation, then it's obvious you haven't been saved...

Well, if that's your answer, then it would seem logical to continue to eat junk food, since that's what you body desires, hence, why you eat it.

Well, in the movie "Devil's advocate," AL Pacino (Satan) replied, "Well, consider the source, son..."

Pride...It's the root of all evil. There's a great book called "Humility, True Greatness" by C.J Mahaney. It shows how to defeat pride by cultivating humility in your life. After reading several chapters, you'll see how Humility is the secret of life that everyone's been looking for. It...
