    Growth Remembering your Roots

    "Train up a child in the way they should go and when they are old they will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6 Just yesterday I got an email for an old classmate of mine. Our 40th class reunion is approaching and he wanted to know what childhood memories we had of our hometown. I was raised...

    Growth My mind has been much occupied....

    Great question. The foundation of faith for me is Jesus. He is the cornerstone of our faith. According to James, "Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world." James 1:27

    Is Divorce a Sin?

    This is such a sad story. Why is it that Christian wives and husbands are supposed to put up with more crap than secular people just for the sanctity of marriage? I don't think the Lord would want any woman in that kind of relationship. My husband's first wife was very abusive to him. She...

    Is Divorce a Sin?

    I had a friend and her husband was cheating on her before they got married. I didn't understand the whole circumstances, but he had a mistress for something like 20 years. Eleven years into their marriage she found a bunch of pictures of the "other woman." She was devastated because she loved...

    Is Divorce a Sin?

    Kathi, I did not mean to attack you or bring on an attack. Forgive me for that. Just because we walk down the isle with someone does not mean we have God's blessing in our marriage. We must be married to the mate that God chose for us. So many people marry for other reasons and they don't...

    Is Divorce a Sin?

    So you do believe that you are held accountable for your sins before you became a Christian? I repented of my sins and they were washed away. The Lord doesn't remember them, so why does man? I KNOW the Lord brought this man into my life. Now if I were to divorce now and remarry I would be...

    Is Divorce a Sin?

    I was married twice before I became a Christian. When you aren't in Christ are you held accountable for the sin of divorce and no other sins? Now I am a Christian, married to the man of my dreams (chosen by God), and we have been happily married for 11 years now. We are sole mates. We think...

    Growth Do you Force your Religion on Others?

    I always shop a Hobby Lobby for my arts and crafts material. But then I also get the employee discount. They allow family members of employees to shop at a discount also.

    Growth Do you Force your Religion on Others?

    They are a very blessed company. At one time they were paying a fine of a million dollars a day for not providing the morning after pill. It was just a drop in the bucket. My daughter-in-law says their store makes so much money they don't know what to do with it. The Lord has blessed them in...

    Growth Do you Force your Religion on Others?

    I don't know their specific policy on hiring gays. I know they inform people before they are hired that they are a Christian based company. I don't suppose that many gays would want to work for a Christian based company, but I'm not sure of their policy. I would have to ask my...

    Growth Do you Force your Religion on Others?

    "Knowledge puffs up, but love edifies. And if any think that he know anything, he know nothing yet as he ought to know. But if anyone loves God, that one is known by him." 1 Cor. 8:1-2 I usually don't like to talk about politics, but this one is very near and dear to my heart so I am going to...

    Growth Jesus, the Ultimate Healer

    It isn't normal for congregations to have healing services anymore. They used to back in the 1980's. You are very fortunate to go to such a church.

    Growth Jesus, the Ultimate Healer

    Yes, death for a Christian is the ultimate healing. What better place to be than in the arms of Jesus.

    Growth Is it all About Perception?

    So many great responses to this post. We have three enemies, the devil, the world, and the flesh. We must constantly be stayed on Jesus and His word in order to fight these enemies. With the internet, TV, and all the media we have these days, it is very difficult to keep our minds on the...

    Growth Jesus, the Ultimate Healer

    Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. I don't believe the miracles have ceased. I still believe in miracles.

    Growth Is it all About Perception?

    Having the mind of Christ sounds like a great goal, but tell me how you keep your mind stayed on Christ in today's world of distractions? I find it very difficult. Does anyone else have this issue?

    Growth Jesus, the Ultimate Healer

    "But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed." Isaiah 53:5 I am a veteran and yesterday I needed some medical care so I went to my local VA Clinic. I had not been for about two...

    Growth Lost my way

    If you stepped away from the prayer life and you are feeling lost in your life and your mind is clouded, I think you know where to go and that is back to your prayer life.

    Growth Enjoy the Process

    "If these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ." 2 Peter 1:2-11 Do you enjoy the process of growth? Very few of us do. We live in an instant gratification world. We want everything right away. But it doesn't work that...

    What is Social Media?

    Colorado is central to the U.S. Actually North Platte, Nebraska is the center of the US, but Colorado Springs in close. If there is another place, that is more central to people in the forum, let them speak now or forever hold their peace.
