Awesome. Freedom in Christ indeed!

Aaaahhhhh - now I understand where you're coming from. I didn't know about that church edict - ya learn something new every day. Thank goodness we are now able to read the Bible for ourselves, and not rely on church leaders to tell us what to think. Even if it does mean we don't always agree...

Hi Deborah You're right; it would be impossible to keep the entire Mosaic law today. But do you think that Paul didn't keep it? There's that bit in Acts 21v26 where the apostles advised him to pay the purification expenses for four men who had taken a vow, "then everyone will know that there is...

Blasphemy????? Where??? If so please tell me and I will happily retract it, whatever 'it' is. The scripture you quoted - Romans 13v8 - is a good one; I think it's worth quoting the whole paragraph here: "8 Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for...

Just come across this thread, and I'd like to add my 2 cents worth! Looking at the title of the thread: The law of God: OT applicable today? - This could be taken in more than one way. It depends what's meant by the law of God and by the Old Testament being applicable today. If we're talking...

Dear Lord, I pray that Jenni will be given wisdom to deal with this situation. I pray too for unity in Your church, that all of us may seek Your will and Your wisdom in all things.

Praying for God's healing, and for Anna to have peace of mind that God will take care of all her needs. Please let us know how she's doing.

Praying that the Lord will be with you in whatever situations you face, and that He will keep you strong and keep you aware of His loving presence.

You've had a bad experience with psychiatrists etc, but it doesn't have to be that way. A good psychologist can do an incredible amount of good, and how much more so if that psychologist is a Christian. I am lucky enough to have had good experiences with counsellors; if it wasn't for those two...

Prayer really does work..... you will overcome this situation, and we are with you in prayer, although many miles away in distance. May the joy of knowing Jesus fill your life, and overflow into a community that is obviously desperately in need of Him.

Praying hard for you Kathi. It sounds gorgeous. Dear Lord, please give Kathi the home she needs, and may she be blessed in her new home.

I am so sorry you are suffering from clinical depression. No-one who has not experienced it can know how bad it is. I will pray for your healing, and for the Lord's loving presence to be with you always.

The most common reason for suicide is clinical depression, which is an illness caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. Under those circumstances I don't see suicide as any more sinful than dying of any other illness. God knows all our circumstances, and He is wise, just and merciful. Only...

CE, remember you are never alone, no matter how bad your situation. "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me." Keep walking through the dark place, knowing that God is right there with you. Do the things you...

Dear Lord. You know Eboni's needs. Please help her to know that she is in Your love and care, and take away her fear and suffering.

Hi Pizza. So glad things are looking positive for you. I really liked your prayer - whatever it takes don't let me slip from Your hands. I just prayed the same prayer, right now. Re not being sure if you're doing the right thing: I always liked James 1v5, which tells us that if we've prayed for...

It's amazing the way God always provides when you really need it. Things may look scary but he is right there and knows your needs.

I live in Zimbabwe. Not much wildlife at my current home, as it is in the city, but the last place I lived the monkeys came through every day to see what they could steal. Also baboons, antelope, smaller wild cats etc. Did get terrified one morning by a leopard in a tree, but they are rare in...

Praying you will find your self esteem and a lifestyle that is good for you. Any chance you could take a second part time job if the store won't give you more hours? Or maybe you could use those hours to do some training or studying to better your life? You've faced rejection from the two men...

Nice that the wildlife is thriving even in urban areas. I was disappointed not to see kangaroos in the wild, but I spent most of the time in Sydney where my daughter lives. We did go out looking for wallabies at my cousin's place south of Woollangong, but they were elusive on that weekend. Lots...
