The consummation of God's plan for you, is His promise to us all. A new heaven and new earth. A home where the Creator will wipe away every tear from those eyes. An eternal residence with no more death, sorrow, crying, or pain. The route there is less travelled, because it can be tough...

Hello Adam, Marital unfaithfulness weighs heavy on us all. Even the singles among us. A stranger I am, but it hurts that you should suffer such a betrayal. As an unbeliever, I hated how the married in my social circle would revel in extramarital affairs. The vexation caused me to think that it...

You're welcome to repost it wherever it might have an impact. After all, the only thing that matters is the message, not the messenger. ☺️

The fundamental teaching of Buddhism is how to escape suffering. Jesus didn't escape suffering, He endured it. The Son of God, learnt obedience through suffering (Hebrews 5:8) And those who suffer in the flesh come to cease from sin (1 Peter 4:1) Suffering serves a purposeful role in the walk...

A dog catcher? If I were Finnish, I'd have resorted to barking for communication, because I would never have grasped the language. If your FB reels about the Finns affinity for their neighbours is anything to go by, I'd have growled a lot too, like a stray dog and been impounded already. :LOL:

Tazzo, resembles a British nickname. When I was a kid, mine was Robbo! 🤫 Finnish wordplay must be unsurpassed? 🤣

Walking as Jesus walked isn't something we can do in our own strength. None of us can follow God without validating and honouring our spiritual dependency on Him. Can't do it, is a capability block. You've confessed that it's practically impossible for you to emulate holiness without external...

Belated welcome to the forums @McShawn. When a sense of humour prevails over illegitimate judgment, we know mercy is the only path forward. Something I gleaned from your interactions already. 🙂

Twirling spaghetti on a fork is child's play. Pinching noodles with chopsticks is like handstand walking uphill. Confession, I'll slurp noodles straight from the dishware when chopsticks are the only eating utensils at hand.

By gum, it's Joe Rogan! His rogue moose must be genetically modified hybrids. The result of some alien interloper gaining temporal access to the three spatial dimensions of our existence, after a neanderthal hunter experimenting with DMT broke wind, piercing time and space. Word to the wise...

Ah, the conundrum of being introverted in the Church. The Kingdom of God is within? No problem! God's children are gregarious like sheep? Oh heck no, can I just be a sheepdog who circles the periphery of the flock for herding's sake? I'd have felt more at home at Church if God had likened his...

I can in some way empathise with your current malaise, because in my mid-20s, I became disillusioned with my repeated failure to achieve what I imagined my life should be. I didn't so much as hate my own life, as I inadvertently resented the ideals which other people were attempting to foist on...

By Jove, I'm being versed in classic British exclamation by a woman whose hair colour has no wavelength in the visible spectrum of light! God is not without a sense of humour 😄

Trickier than eating instant noodles with chopsticks.

Sounds Finnish? You mean like ennenkuulumatonta, or koirankasvattaja? As this is a what have you done thread, I'll tell you something I wouldn't want to be doing. Playing Scrabble in Finnish. Some of their words are longer than this paragraph. Kainos, is a transliteration of the Greek word...

The hyperbole could be more true to life than you think. I have one Finnish friend. For two months of the year, she's sure to tell me how she literally wants to kill her neighbours. Why? because some of them persist in mowing their lawns at unsociable hours during the nightless days of the...

Very graceful, like a wordsmith in chorus! A fitting way to salute a man whose human weakness allowed Christ's power to take effect through him. 🕊️

You're misapplying a fertile imagination by fantasising. If you hungered for God's intervention with the same thirst you have for a woman's touch, you'd be moving mountains without lifting a finger. And why are you searching for a Christian woman to indulge in defilement? Would you visit a...

No probably about it. The better hope would transform your whole existence. It took effect on a Jewish man on the Damascus Road, who took great pride in his Jewish heritage. A man who held the zeal to exterminate all who dared to follow the teachings of a man who died on a cross. The God of...

Welcome, Larry. Are you looking to appease your wife's attempt to encourage you, or has her manner of living encouraged you to delve into her faith? If it's your wife's love for others that has brought you to catch sight of the truth, you're being beckoned to join the Vine, where the Jews...
