You had me doing gymnastics around the Bible going from verse to verse, haha. 🤸🏻 But I loved all the references, thanks for sharing. I do love that about God and His principles; often times God’s wisdom is a paradox to the natural man. Like you said, how is it that a man gives, subtracts from...

Mm, it’s an interesting point you bring up about peer pressure, essentially, and how that may encourage people to rush into things. Where as the wise thing, in my opinion, would be to wait for God’s timing (which is perfect). Side note: You have misunderstood the context behind the statement...

This made me think, how did he obtain his riches? In other words, what made the man? Did he maintain his integrity to get to the top? Does he honor God with his finances? Is he a people pleaser or a God glorifier? Thanks again Ashley for joining in on the conversation.

This one is interesting because instead of simply focusing on a person having money, you are focusing instead on the stewardship of their finances. I like that. Are they a responsible individual? 👍🏻 The spotlight, oh yes. It has pros and cons, but if the motives and intentions of the heart are...

I like your rephrasing of the question, because it does get to the heart of the matter. A man who is righteous. I would say, ironically, this covers all three notions of fame, fortune, and power because a righteous man will/should operate in wisdom. And, with wisdom comes certain blessings...

I feel like I worded this weirdly. Semantics a bit. What I mean to say, tl;dr, is that repentance is for sanctification and not eternal salvation (in respect to an ongoing process).

Repentance is, likely, necessary for sanctification. I say it that way because what if circumstances open your eyes to an issue but you were not actively “repenting” of said issue? You still end up changing in spite of repentance (i.e.; the revelation led to your repentance). Say you see the...

I can tell you this Angela, it’s hard to think you’re deluded when you speak in tongues, someone interprets, and what you share with the person you’re ministering to is information you couldn’t have known about the person. As for the fruit Angela, look at Carnal Corinth. The Corinthians had the...

Cheddar. 🧀

Thank you Tabin (I was going to write Tabitha lol). “Personality mixed with Christianity.” It sounds like someone amiable and that loves the Lord. I like your mention of volunteering, because it reveals the heart of a man (his character). My pastor recently joked to the women (young adults...

Thanks for the thorough response Ashley. You touched on a lot. Character definitely being an important point; being reasonable, honest, transparent, and well, peaceful. I guess I am determining (if we take it at face value) if some women seek men with power, fame, and fortune if these same...

Today I watched some worldly podcasts on dating and life, out of curiosity to see what the world thinks. “Where is society?”, I wondered. Let me tell you that I nearly felt like crying. Young women selling their image for money to become financially independent in a year. Girls selling their...

You have potential, remember that. That’s what God sees, potential. He created you with purpose and it is your choice to walk into it. I understand your fears in regards to marriage but a lesson that was given to me is that there is no fear in love. Love keeps no record of wrongs (so your past...

No matter what point he is trying to make, we have to conclude from scripture that the gift of tongues is multifaceted. It does not serve only one use. It is for personal prayer, intercession of another, praise and worship, and for ministering to others with interpretation (and yet still without...

Ultimately you’re human, and God understands that. Right? We are but dust. We are frail and best of all, we are in need of God. Scripture says that in our weakness is God’s power made perfect. So far from being of no use to God, you are of great use. Why? For you depend upon Him. You need His...

How can you say that the gift of tongues is meant for “an audience of unbelievers”, when in the very next verse (1 Corinthians 14:23) it says that if an unbeliever walks in on everyone speaking in tongues they will think you are mad? It actually is endorsing prophesying in the case of...

If I can be blunt; this is either an elaborate troll in which case shame on you or this is sincere, albeit disturbing, and you’re in desperate need of help. If it is the latter, the information you have shared is far too personal in my opinion and really should be done in private with a strong...

This reminded me of … Ecclesiastes 1:18 KJV For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.

That’s awesome for that to be in your heart whitemoth. God too wants fellowship with you, as He does all of His children. There are practices you can do that can… help you hear the Lord. One is fasting, and another (especially in conjunction with fasting) is tarrying. We often do a lot of...

Insecurities. The fear of not being accepted. I relate to this very much having to deal with autoimmune issues. God’s word says there is no fear in love… and how true it is, yet still there is an internal battle of, “Who could love me?” I had one such disease that had me bed ridden for a week...
