There are games on here where people reply with the first word that comes into their head. It just occurred to me how one scripture always seems to lead us to another, so I propose a game where we post that 'next' scripture. Would anyone like to start the ball rolling?

No more 'me', Only 'we', When I am nothing, Then I am free.

Just read this parable this morning and not sure what the oil represents because the wise virgins COULD have shared with the foolish ones, but through wisdom chose not to. So what is it that a wise Christian could possibly share with a foolish one, but wouldn't? Looked on GotQuestions.org but...

I want to be the best Christian ever. (i know, humble right?) When people have prayed for me I have completely felt the spiritual strength it brings. It seems daft to my scientific brain that prayer should work. But, from experience, I know it really, really works. So, please pray for me.

Once upon a time i was completely against TV as I saw it as idolatry. But then I met a lonely old widow who got through the day by watching Sky Sports. And so i now think there is a point where "getting through the day" ends, and idolatry or self-indulgence begins. what do you think?

When Jesus says "because of you lack of faith.", what does that mean? Does it mean "because you don't REALLY, REALLY believe that God sent Me because He loves you and that in Me you may have Life in yourselves" Or what do you think it means?

The idea of this thread is to make a list of qualities we might hope to see in children of God. Each post should only identify one 'quality' so that others are free to agree/disagree/etc with that specific quality. Qualities can be defined by single words or sentences. (btw, try not to...

Love is the desire for all others to have joy. And the only true joy is to 'have' Love. There is only one commandment. It is to come to know for ourselves the Joy of 'having' Love, by the continual work of belief in Jesus. If we do not love our neighbor then we do not 'have' love. The two who...

Last night at work I was trying to decide what 'ultimate' faith might be like. Remember where Jesus says "such great faith I have not seen..." But imagine the centurion had faith to know that God could see his servant all the time. And his servant could not be sick unless God had allowed him to...

I'm new to this kind of web-site, so this might just be me not 'getting it', but several times the emotion I feel is that I'm 'moved' by a post. I find it a very positive emotion to experience and would like to be able to convey it with an emote. Its an emotion that makes me want to be the best...

"God called the light “day,” and the darkness He called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day. " - (Genesis 1:5) I used to think it was a bit strange that the evening came before the morning in a day. But then I noticed how the evening was dark until the moon...

Another said, ‘I have just bought five yoke of oxen, and I’m on my way to try them out. Please excuse me.’ - ( Luke 14:19 ) This man had total FAITH the 'Certain man' who invited him to the Great Wedding existed. And he had total FAITH the invitation was genuinely from Him. But, instead of...

How I do the work of believing in Jesus. As soon as I wake up and before my mind begins to wander I read a chapter of the New Testament and then an Alexander Maclaren sermon on it (free on BibleHub), which I recommend everyone try. I do a delivery-driver job which allows me to pay my bills...

Does the flesh profit nothing? Is that which is much esteemed by men an abomination to God? Have those who are Christ's crucified their flesh with its passions and desires? Is all that is in the world not of the Father but of the world? Does friendship with the world make you an enemy of...

"So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you..." (Matthew 7:12) I think if my children were starving I would like other people to go without their cake and instead put the money towards bread for my children. What do you think?

No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide an escape, so that you can stand up under it. I am a driver. On New year's eve, when I got to work they told...

That is the price that has been set if you really want to "know God". (John 17:3) The work is straight-forward but very hard to accomplish in this world. So I encourage you to cut out from your life as many worldly things as you can at this stage to make some room. And then to do all that you...

Hi everyone. I grew up in a non-religious family. My elder brother Peter spent a year in prison which I think is where he heard about God. Several years later he came to a point in his life where he just needed God to be real and in his life. So he cried out to God from the bottom of his heart...

Imagine a beautiful jigsaw puzzle that you start putting together on a table. And on the table are plastic cups, one for each of your other interests, each with its own name. As you work on the puzzle it grows and you are forced to remove the plastic cups that are in your way so that you can...
