    Amen to that. A beautiful reality it is for the Christian.

    PUT ON YOUR NEW IDENTITY

    PUT ON YOUR NEW IDENTITY Ephesians 6 10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. Verse 10 encourages us to rely on the Lord for His strength. We do this by verse 11, we...

    To The Unbelievers

    Not sure what you mean. Apologetics has brought many to faith. Including a Christian like C.S. Lewis.

    Why can't people just be real about life?

    I believe that Jesus taught us two very important truths. He was definitely recorded speaking truth in tough situations. But there were times He also remained silent. So I suppose it takes discernment to know when, where, and how to do it.

    To The Unbelievers

    1 Corinthians 15:17 English Standard Version 17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. Alright, those of the unbelieving world. The easiest way to disprove Christianity is by disproving the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus. For the...

    Time Is Love? Aging Parents

    That is wonderful to have. A great strength to help keep your strength of empathy in a healthy balance. I suppose the faster someone can see what is deserving of empathy and what is only manipulating or abusing them, then they can invest more of their energy into what is good versus those who...

    Is Eschatology or prophecies a “salvation issue”?

    It depends. Prophetically I'm assuming you mean things yet to come. If the interpretation is twisted to the point of denying Hell, distorting Heaven as cult religions do, or downplaying judgment and leading into such error that if we were to experience tribulation then some out of deception...

    Time Is Love? Aging Parents

    That is so very true that not everyone has the same feeling of empathy. I learned very recently that an empath personality not only feels bad for others but they often feel others emotions or even physical symptoms as if they were their own. “An empath personality refers to individuals who are...

    Time Is Love? Aging Parents

    So sorry for all that has occurred. My family has these same type of problems. My grandmothers care giver (my aunt) is just care giving for her money. The care is abusive at best and despite the known Alzheimers and deafening, she gets so mad at her when she has to repeat herself or when my...

    Sermon Advice

    No mam, the pastor had some issues with the elders from taking off too much so He was kind of forced to bench me lol. Wasn't great to hear after working on it for weeks but I ultimately understood. Back to Wednesday night lesson preps for now. Thank you for asking.

    God Uses The Uncommon

    Amen. Jesus sets the perfect example of one being set apart for holy use.

    God Uses The Uncommon

    This is true under the common understanding of what is average in comparison to what is beyond average. God can use all people and will call all people. I suppose my main point was in verse 21 those who cleanse themselves from the latter will be instruments for special purposes. Timothy...

    God Uses The Uncommon

    I once felt the same way until my uncommoness found common company in the body of Christ. Trying to fit in a triangle while being a hexagon would get tiring.

    God Uses The Uncommon

    You often see how God uses uncommon people or the people who by all outward appearance, low status in society, those who may look rugged, or even just plain weird. God reminds us through the words of the prophet Samuel. 1 Samuel 16:7 English Standard Version 7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do...

    Denominations are Inevitable

    The Great schism and protestant revolution for us looking back is obvious that God used division to secure truth and to protect the sanctity of His Word. Divide is good when done in truth and in opposition to heretical teachings. I suppose the real argument is how far will people go to be united...

    Mental Illness

    The year 2024 lesson learned: Jeremiah 17:8 ESV He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit.” I have been the tree...
