I haven't been here long, but that is the exact mood I've been noticing here, too! I love it! Thank you guys for being so cool.

What does it mean to "take up my cross"?

The New Testament is full of verses commanding us to love each other--not a suggestion (John 13:34-35, 1 John 4:7-8, 1 Peter 4:8, 1 Corinthians 13, 1 John 4:21, etc.). The scary one is 1 John 4:7-8 where Paul says that we don't even know God if we don't love because God is love. NetChaplain...

That is a beautiful prayer! I especially love when you say "Reveal where we have compromised with sin and give us a new desire for holiness." I'm putting that on a sticky note. I'm missing church tomorrow for work, so this was very special. Thank you!

That's so good! It reminds me of something MSJ posted this morning: "Ignorance insures insecurity; scriptural knowledge secures strength." When the early church needed more people to step up to help, it wasn't so that the disciples would have more time to help the poor or put on a bigger...

I'd rather be surrounded by non-believers than Christians in name only. Who did Yeshua cast out of the Temple? I think He called them whited sepulchres, children of the devil. I don't have any Scripture to back this up, so let me know what you think. I think false Christians are more dangerous...

So true! I love Yeshua's message in John 17--specifically in verse 15 when He prays not that God would take His disciples out of the world, but that God would "keep them safe from the evil one." I've taken a lot of CPR classes, and the first rule is to make sure the scene is safe before...
