James 5:7 .) Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.
8 .) Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.
9 .) Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.
10 .) Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.
11 .) Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.
12 .) But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other

1 Peter 5:6 .) Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
7 .) Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
8 .) Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
9 .) Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
10 .) But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
11 .) To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

1 Samuel 30.1-8

And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the south, and Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire; [SUP]2 [/SUP]And had taken the women captives, that were therein: they slew not any, either great or small, but carried them away, and went on their way.
[SUP]3 [/SUP]So David and his men came to the city, and, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives.
[SUP]4 [/SUP]Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.
[SUP]5 [/SUP]And David's two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
[SUP]6 [/SUP]And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the Lord his God.

[SUP]7 [/SUP]And David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech's son, I pray thee, bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David.

[SUP]8 [/SUP]And David enquired at the Lord, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all.

 

[JesusLives]

Ah, yes. Would that we could learn it's OK to simply say, "I believe this way", without feeling compelled to add, "...so, of course, that makes you wrong!"

It's nicer if you say I agree to disagree....only God can help change our minds to fit His truth we can't change anyone's mind but our own....and usually God has helped with that change....

 

[p_rehbein]

Psalms 100:11 .) Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.
2 .) Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.
3 .) Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
4 .) Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
5 .) For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.

I disagree about the way we should disagree. If you don't agree with that then we are not in agreement and I could not disagree with you not agreeing with me more vehemently.

 

[Willie-T]

But, agree to disagree agreeably.
