Hi, @Deuteronomy Thanks for your comment. It's what I'm trying to figure out (referring to your question). I only quoted from the sermon other bringing up my own experience of spending too much time with unbelievers, and I believe that's why I felt compelled to listen to the sermon. [/FONT] I...

This short sermon was eye-opening for me. I was on other forums, talking to unbelievers a lot. This video came up, and I couldn't ignore it. I did not know that having unbelievers as friends was so serious. I wrote down some quotes from the sermon. It's really amazing, and I hope it helps...

Hi, Daniel! It's nice you joined. Welcome:)

So many reasons to be optimistic. I'm a fan of it.

Welcome, REDOLENT! I hope you love it here. It's truly nice to be with like-minded people.

Hi, David, thanks for your answer about pain and suffering being necessary for salvation. I believe we're meant to endure a lot of pain and suffering as Christians, and as you said, to take up our cross. You know the Lord really loves you if you're suffering so much. I feel for you. My...

No, no, no, don't "shut up, David." I love what you have to say. Oh, gosh, I hope I didn't insult you when I said you talk a lot. It was truly a compliment from me. I'm a quiet person and have ALWAYS admired those who are talkers. I hope you don't really want to keep your mouth shut. It's...

This is profound, PaulNew. I believe it and agree that "A person's closeness to God is directly proportional to the level of their own self-interest."

My reply wouldn't fit, so I cut out most of what you said. It's cuz you're verbose. 😂🤣 That's a compliment, so please take it as one. I always wished I was a talker. Aww, thanks so much for the prayer. I appreciate it a lot. I don't really mind migraines anymore, and really only mention them...

Wow, you already have another response, and I'm just getting to this one. 😂🙃 I'll read it soon. I'll admit, the words don't flow from my fingertips like with you, LOL. I'm usually either having a migraine or recovering from one, or recovering from something, so the brainpower is lacking...

Your responses are always so amazing and exciting, 2ndTimothy. I was going to wait to read it because I got interrupted by another migraine today. I'll wait to reply until I can think straight. But I'll say, I feel for your dealing with emotional pain. It's the worst. I prefer physical...

I love it as well. I'm not sure any of us are ever able to do it, but we can try.

2ndTimothy, You helped me to see how the Lord has been working in me. It had been so subtle, I couldn't really see it, and it's been much slower than I'd expect. I sincerely appreciate your opening my eyes to it. "Brutal" is a good word for it, and it's lonely in the way that there aren't...

I'm so glad I finally got to read your comment. It has truly encouraged me. I did not know that's what the veil is about, circumcision of the heart. I'm actually feeling some hope now, as I know the veil is disappearing, yay! I can see a veil on probably everyone I've shared the gospel with...

Oops, migraine interruption. I'll be back when I can think straight and read. But what I was able to read, you totally made my day, so thank you, 2ndTimothy !!!

You're right, it is mind-numbing that all in the province of Asia abandoned Paul. I'm okay with being abandoned. Already my family members, who are Mormon, are avoiding me and scared of me, which is fine. And you're right, it's rare to find others in the same place who want to talk about the...

Wow. Your wisdom is such a blessing to us. I do strive for obedience, though pride and selfishness are my nemeses. Yikes, there are a couple of people that need apologies from me. Oops, thanks for the reminder. Thanks again for sharing your time and wisdom with us. It's invaluable.

Thank you, 2ndTimothyGroup, I truly appreciate your taking the time to respond, and even writing this much and sharing your wisdom. What you said gives me some comfort. I had been questioning if God has been working in my mind and heart, and what you said gives me some confirmation, though I'm...

Wow, thank you, 2ndTimothyGroup, for taking the time to write this and for sharing your experiences. I left halfway through reading this to ask the Lord for holy terror. It's a terrifying thing, but whatever it takes, I want it. I pray constantly for a heart of flesh/circumcised heart. I ask...

I have so much to say, but it won't let me do a message more than 1000 characters. I'll do it separately from yours. It's not long, I promise, LOL.
