I'm partial to Dan :) .. However, being open minded as I am, I could also recommend Daniel or Danny.

Sounds like your struggling with self-condemnation? While 'fear' can be a motivation, it can also discourage a person who dwells on all their shortcomings. The beauty of Christianity is that we aren't in danger of hell fire because of our screw-ups. Have faith in the redemptive power of the...

My Mom got a flat tire, my Dad fixed it and never left.

If someone could float me a couple million bucks, it would make me very happy for a while. But the only thing to sustain happiness was accomplished on the cross. Without salvation, we're all dead meat, so whatever things bring us down now are really trivial in comparison to the gift of eternal life.

We all may as well be happy, because the opposite is not so pleasing a thing. Paul said; "But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content" (2 Timothy 6:6-8)...

This is true, you've answered your own question.. The character of God is steadfast.. Jesus didn't change the law, but he did fulfill the necessity of many laws, making them no longer necessary. He also removed the curse of the law by his sacrifice.

Besides from being ugly, stupid, and broke; "Yes" I'm not only happy, but thrilled with who I am :). Kidding...... I'm not sure its healthy to ever be happy with who we are? If we are content with who we are, there's no reason to ever try and change for the better.

"For he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee." (Hebrews 13:5) I hang all my hope and trust in that promise, it gets me through many tough days. And also his last departing words; "I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen." (Matthew 28:20)

I've been trapped in bad weather since November, its just been relentless.. People here (Illinois) are wearing shirts that say; "I survived the Winter of 19". Record snowfall & record cold, those aren't records I want to set. Its enough already, even my cats have cabin fever. I'd like to set a...

"I love them that love me" (Proverbs 8:16)... "He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him" (John 3:36). So in the sense that God initially loves everyone (John 3:16), his love will not extend to...

Grace did not nullify the law per se, it just removed the curse of the law. Paul explained that in the previous verses; "Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law. But...

You shall have no other gods before me... Because there are no other gods You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything... Because there's no need to create something to worship

If someone stole your lawn mower out of your garage and ask for forgiveness while simultaneously refusing to return your mower, odd's are they're not repentant :)

My point was that forgiveness doesn't absolve someone of the offense. In other words, if someone murders your family, they don't get off just because your willing to let it go.. They pay the penalty for the crime, and if they repent, you can forgive them before or after they face the death...

No, I don't believe we are suppose to forgive everything, nor does the bible order us to do so. It says to forgive others just as our Father forgives us (Ephesians 4:32). And how does God forgive us? When we repent.. Luke 17:3 says; "If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive...

Everyone gets sick of their jobs, and few jobs provide happy thankful customers. But money talks, it pays the bills and provides for your family, and that your first priority.. That said, you can always venture off and explore other means of income, without quitting where your at now. If you've...

Absolutely.... If you can afford to accommodate your disabled son, do it. Your wife will just need to adjust to that fact. But understand that it can be overwhelming if you can't afford to hire outside help. My Dad spent a half million $$ to keep my Mom home for her last years, but most people...

No, everyone gets sick.. We begin to die the minute we are born, but sickness is not induced specifically to 'take someone home'. We simply check-out when our number randomly comes up.. jmo

God did reveal himself to us through Christ.. Obviously, Jesus isn't going to make a personal appearance to every generation. We know him through his word. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us" (John 1...

There's no definitive objective evidence of God, but there is subjective evidence.. It all comes down to belief, you either believe there is no God or you believe there is a God, you either believe in creation or you believe in evolution, etc. Everything that exist has a cause, if not a...
