Trusting God is hard! Especially when we think we have things figured out. It is so hard to "not lean on your own understanding". At least for me anyway.
Has God ever not answered your prayer and now you feel grateful to him that he didn't?
This was a question asked by Ruby123 in another thread. I thought it was worth it's own thread. Thanks Ruby!
My answer to this is yes. Many years ago when I was in 7th grade I had an interest in a girl from...
They are deceived. But remember, they were created in the image of God.
Not supporting their lifestyle at all. It is sin. I have sins also. They need the gospel. It is our job to proclaim it.
Expect persecution and struggles as a believer. We're told that is part of it.
If you go on a 5 mile...
Compliments...hmm...I guess I like to be complimented but often feel they are not deserved. From time to time people will compliment me on being a good dad. Most times these people do not know me very well. I used to tell them "You don't see me at home." Now I'll thank them and try to change the...
