Thank you!

Sometimes it is harder to share things with close family members, than a stranger. There is often a lot of baggage and hurt between siblings and even parents.

Thank you, we are indeed blessed. A child’s simple faith can affect even a cold heart.

I thank you for your concern. Most people that look at him cannot envision his struggles, as it is with many of us. The good news is that we enrolled him in a martial arts school several years ago to help him become more physically active. That was about six years ago, and he is now a second...

Thank you! I was taken aback by his sudden persistence to share his story, but I have learned that God does indeed work in mysterious ways.

The 23rd Psalm was my part of our story. I discussed a few of the insights of a former Shepard of sheep, Mr. Keller.

Thank you. We talked after school this afternoon and he said hHe really enjoyed sharing his story with others.

I thought this might be a good place to share my story. I usually hang out in Bible Discussions, and this story might qualify, but this forum probably has a wider audience. My grandson, DL, was diagnosed with AML (Acutely Myeloid Leukemia) when he was three years old. He will turn 14 towards...

We act after we think. I have always viewed repentance as, “to change one’s mind or thinking, which leads to a change in actions.”

Zoom-right over your head.

1. Matthew 11:28-30 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” • Jesus emphasizes that...

It seems you want a “ logical” argument for Christianity, and I personally don't see human logic as an effective tool. I have met very many babes in Christ, but very few real atheist. My most extended conversation lasted over several years with a co-worker, who finally conceded he didn’t see...

A context would begin with a few questions about where they were from, hobbies, education, then lead the conversation towards shared similarities and family relationships. From there I would draw from personal experience (I have 73 years worth) to discuss our natural world. I have been an avid...

There is a good sermon in your freezer incident.

Paul adjusted his message to accomodate the unbeliever in front of him. If it’s a brief encounter with a stranger vs someone you see often or occasionally, it’s different. Our actions speak louder than our words and oftentimes our personal testimony of our trials and path through life can affect...

I believe your initial post is fine. Your subsequent assertions seem to indicate what you really wanted to say. God always spoke truth to angelic beings, and mankind beginning in Eden. His words/message always was to teach humankind what He expected from us, and in turn what mankind could expect...

Your argument is with the plain sense of Scripture. The Pope has no more authority with God than you or I. God is no respector of persons. Look up the Greek for Know as used where I posted. If you don’t truly know Jesus, then you indeed can not know if you have eternal life, or not.

1 John 5:13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life Acts 16:31 They said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.” Romans 10:9-10 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus...

As Christrosefromthe dead said, there were several types of covenants. My thought is that the animal sacrifices and all of the other rituals were used as teaching aids, that foreshadowed the ultimate sacrifice and covenant made by The Lamb of God.

Does this clarify this verse for you? In the case of the New Covenant, Jesus Christ is both the mediator and the one whose death was required. His sacrifice on the cross ratified the covenant, enabling the forgiveness of sins and granting believers access to eternal life. • This verse...
