How does one openly praise Jesus and glorify His name on a daily basis, especially when trials and tribulations arise? How does one keep the belief and faith in the Words of the Bible and apply it to daily life? What it is supposed to look like to actually follow Jesus Christ? Does this portrayal look different in everyone? Or are we all synchronized by the grace and death of the Messiah?

God, I wish I could get answers from Christ Himself. All this faith business feels like I'm chasing an invisible tail. I could dig deeper, but I might end up with another theology that might drive me even crazier.
Bottom line be this the basis in all you learn and do, GODJUSTLOVEYOU, personally
I have been writing a blog for awhile now and it might help you see truth and it might not, yet it is off of the basis www.godjustloveyou.blogspot.com what is great about a blog is one does not have to agree and can just turn it off or read as they please, it is set up to easily see all the posts, go there and leave if whatever you decide, free will to all from God, not many see this unfathomable love of God.
Thanks and no need for me to know if it does help or not, thanks

I've been awake for almost six hours now, and the most productive thing I've done so far is keep children alive. The rest of my time...has been thoroughly wasted. I'm a little upset about this.

...so now I'm going to take a nap, because...that's the next logical step in wasting the rest of the day.
I love the fact that you are honestly you and do not hide behind closed doors as if you got it all together, which tells me your trust is in the living God
Thanks

Sometimes, I look at the title for a thread and think, "Oh, good, I was wondering about that!" Only to find that I am more confused after reading it. So many different interpretations that I just don't know what to think. I guess that's the nature of the beast when all are Christian, but of different denominations? Not even sure if that's the right word. I'm terribly confused at times.
God plain and simply, does just love you, believe, receive and see

Please pray for me...a joint in my right thumb is hurting really bad...I'm too young to have joint issues, in my opinion. *sigh* Though it doesn't help I haven't taken any fish oil for a while (though I took some a few minutes ago)
Trust and seek if there might be a reason for this to learn something possibly as I see troubles as my being perfected fromgod in God trusting God. not of myself ever. Only giving all credit to God,
James 1:2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;

I think there is a reason for that from James to us all. you decide and make your own free will choice to this matter Sister

I really am upset right now I feel like no one in my family cares .my brother thinksI'm embarrsing so hedon't wanna hang out with me in public.my aunt got married and dint invite me even though I always enjoyed being near her .she is also in housten so it makes me sad..I have good friends and I'm feeling guilty about past stuff.I'm only 16 years old and maybe its emotions .any advice ?
Yes Sister, Emotions are the enemy if one is led by them. the Emotions are and were meant to be the Caboose at the end of a train, and the engine to do the leading. (reality)
Emotions do not know any right or wrong, and predictably respond to whatever is going in our mind set at that time. Go to a scary movie and how does one's emotions respond, when you get scared being involved in that movie, that in reality is not real at that time
Romans 12:2 Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but be a new and different person with a fresh newness in all you do and think. Then you will learn from your own experience how his ways will really satisfy you.

praying this is help to you from God to separate error from truth to set and keep you free in God through Son Christ

Yay for hostels and random roommates that sell pills and smell of vodka!
seek what to do, ask God if to move away or stay to help, then leave, if it is shunned and just pray for those, we if we believe do love all do we not? Yet I see to ask God first in all, what to do so that it is God doing the work and not self making the situation worse
Thanks

I hear the Anti-Christ should come from Rome. working on my genealogy one day I wondered , does this mean his roots will be from there many generations ago? and he will arise or has some where else.

Don't let worry overcome you, nor allow fear to grip your heart. These are things not only messengers of God through scripture spoke, but even Jesus himself. Trust..in Him, that Good will Out (overcome), and even our smallest actions can and do make a difference.

As usual God came through right in time. I had pretty much decided that if I didn't find a replacement for my old truck this weekend that I would go ahead and get the old one repaired. I had a sum that I would not exceed, even though my boss promised to loan me what I needed within reason (I just don't like owing my boss money). At any rate I found a truck today that fit the bill. I'll have to borrow some from my boss, but it's a small enough amount that I'll be able to pay him back as soon as I sell the old truck. It's gonna need paint in the near future (which I can do myself), but the body is straight and it's mechanically sound which is what's important.

Thank you Lord

I realized last night that I actually wanted to go to church in the morning. The message was both convicting and positive - a good mix. I'm so glad I went. For some reason, I don't feel so out of place there anymore.

I see Indianapolis is starting out using psychological warfare. Even I got choked up. I couldn't help but think how I would feel if John Elway had gone to play for another team after all he did for Denver. I wonder if my Broncos will be as gracious next Sunday when ex-coach Mike Shanahan comes to town with his Washington Redskins.

Probably won't be the Washington Redskins by then since Bob Costas had his epiphany. I'm thinking Washington Greenskins since that most closely matches that town's MO. (no offense GreenNnice)

'Working my magic' on a guy right now...and by 'working' I mean frequenting his place of work and conversing with him more than the usual small talk. It's a dance really, slip in a piece of info about myself or go off something that he mentioned to open the conversation a little more. Even if it's the smallest thing. Eventually I'll become memorable. And not frequent it so much that I appear as if I am stalking. It's all a dance. Updates slowly to follow... Lol

I'm really tempted to change my avatar, in honor of October/Halloween, to when I was dressed up as a zombie a few years ago. Then go into chat and see how many marriage proposals I get then. :rolleyes: Maybe if I still got weirdos, I could just respond, "Brainnnnssssss"
