Hi Suze, and I appreciate you sharing this. It's comforting to know that regardless of where our maturity in Christ is, the Father always guides and "chastises" us for our good (Pro 3:12; Heb 12:6), as He uses everything in our lives for our good!

I believe I have run into many disbelievers that admit that being a good person has to be received of God. They can not understand what holiness is; without holiness one is foolish and self-deceiving.

It's my understanding that "from his own works" is in reference to one's "own works" that lead to the sin of eventual "disbelief" (Heb 4:11 . The main change in one reborn is the absence of the desire for doing evil. God knows we will continue sinning; but now it's not as a willing subject, but...

Morality is what we do between one another, but godliness is what we do between God and ourselves. Morality can be a possible indication of one being a Christian, but godliness confirms it. One can be morally-centered but not be godly; and one who is godly will be morally-cantered. It’s one of...

I think our old man gets to us the most; even the Enemy has to go through it to get to us, like Christ gets to us by the new man. Appreciate the reply!

How strong your faith is, will be determined by three primary elements: how much you study the Word of God, how you understand the Word of God and proper application of the Word of God! Knowing God’s Word is what can save a soul if “rightly dividing” (2Tim 2:15 - understanding) the Word, and...

Thank you Sis for the career you chose in helping others. God bless!

Hi, and appreciate you sharing this because the harder the trials, the greater the learning (as you've mentioned) which increases blessings from God!

His need is to show us His love by "working in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure" (Phl 2:13). Everyone truly saved could not desire anything else. Thanks for sharing, and are you a nurse or doctor?

Hi, and nice reply! Ya, everything here is going to burn, even this old earth "shall be burned up" (2Pe 3:10), and the present "heavens being on fire shall be dissolved" (2Pe 3:12; Mat 24:35).

It may seem a strange thing to say, but I say it after considerable thought, and some years of experience in talking to people of all kinds, that there is hardly anything so little understood by Christians generally as the love of God When I say “the love of God,” I do not mean His love to the...
