Kinda sad. Man, I was going through something similar just a few days ago in fact. Life can be hard some days, and in my darker thoughts I think, "Is all this really worth it? I mean really. What am I doing that really amounts to much of anything good?" I wouldn't call it dryness, just...

We have a mutual friend who teaches larger Bible studies out of his home, and he unfortunately teaches these things. He says we no longer need to fast because Jesus fasted for us, and other similar such teachings. That we don't need to do things because Christ has done it all already, etc. My...

I once knew a man I was trying to minister to who was an alcoholic. I remember having a beer with him once and we were outside throwing a football or something, and I looked over after 5 minutes and said, "Where's your beer?" It was gone; he drank it already. He then said he could tell I would...

Blessings, Randy! Just went through and cleaned up about 6 typos anyway, LoL, so all the better now that it's a little cleaner. :thumbsup That's absolutely correct. Hard to take on conceitedness when you've been there yourself, so you take on compassion instead. And it's the goodness of God...

But what’s happening in the West and even in South America? Well, obviously it’s complex, but I believe the growth of religious disaffiliation really comes down to two reasons. Failure of parents to pass on a spiritual legacy: A spiritual legacy doesn’t happen by accident! It takes...

An Array Of Reinforcements But what happens if the enemy succeeds in seducing us? What if during a time of weakness we slip up and give in to sin? It is at this point that the believer needs secondary levels of reinforcement, similar to how the Roman lines would stack rows upon rows of soldiers...

Reinforcing Your Faith, Against The Spiritual Attacks Of The Accuser One inescapable fact in the spiritual war is that Satan is an accuser of the brethren, and orders his demons to not only seduce us into sin if they can but then whisper condemnation into our ears thereafter, hoping we will...

Very good point. Even in the mainline churches, it was at least about prayer, and service, and liturgy. Now in some of the more prominent circles it's mostly about entertainment.

Well, it's an interesting observation, but I think on the whole the 21st century church is generally richer than the churches of any other era. I mean, if they have running water and hot water baths and air conditioning they are way ahead of just 150 years ago, let alone the 1st century. So I'm...

Angelina Another vision that I think directly relates, which you might enjoy reading when you have the time: https://christianforums.net/threads/field-of-dreams-or-nightmares-a-vision.113169/

Interpretation and Insights, by Rick Joyner That I can now see the end of this field indicates that the end of our economic prosperity is now in sight. What I saw at the end was much more catastrophic than I had ever thought. There are some very dark times ahead, but at the same time there is...

Field Of Dreams Or Nightmares? (A Vision) The following is the prophetic vision given many years ago that relates to two just recently posted, so I will post it in its entirety here, together with the author's interpretation. The subject matter is the economic and social conditions that are...

The link to your other vision, which is related: https://christianforums.net/threads/vision-about-the-credit-cards-part-2-of-2.113167/

This vision relates to the Credit Card vision, and suggests that the coming credit crises and economic depression will be a judgment from God upon the land. Whenever the Lord pours out cups in scripture, it is in reference to judgments, such as where it states: He too will drink the wine of...

Very important vision, and blessings in Christ, Angelina! This vision suggests something the Spirit had been prophesying for awhile now, but the day may soon be upon us. Credit like we have enjoyed in the past is about to start drying up, making credit cards increasingly worthless, hence why...

I think the tenor of the piece is teaching understanding without being condoning. If we explicitly condone, we may be opening the door too wide for some of the warnings mentioned in the piece: "Explain that self-control and the mature use of the body in marriage is the goal—not to get stuck on...

Hopeful, let me ask you this again, because your answer was somewhat vague last time: Do you believe that someone who is still engaging in sin is not saved, and not born again?

Hopeful, you are making yourself superior to the written word. You don't see a problem with that?

No, you are not. Let me show you again, and I will requote my post to you, from Post #27: In Galatians 5:17, we have γὰρ σὰρξ ἐπιθυμεῖ κατὰ τοῦ πνεύματος, τὸ δὲ πνεῦμα κατὰ τῆς σαρκός. "For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh." ἐπιθυμεῖ is in present indicative...
