God would approve - a simple test of friendship

If I happened to show up on your doorstep crying, would you care? If I called you and asked you to pick me up because something happened, would you come? If I had only one day left, to live my life, would you be part of that last day? If I needed a shoulder to cry on, would you give me yours? This... Sign in to see full entry.

Surrer, Endure, Hope (Dave Brock) Didn't write it but agree

Suffering produces endurance, & endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit. Romans 5:3-5. Lent is the season when distorted beliefs about suffering are shared by the media,... Sign in to see full entry.

Your choice is everything

It's hard to say what affect our actions will have on the lives of other people and vice versa. Or is it? I'll use my favorite example. Right now, somewhere, some drunk is staggering out of some bar, and faces the choice of calling a cab, or driving drunk. This can not be something just "in the... Sign in to see full entry.

God - in times of crisis

Most people have faced some sort of crisis, problem, or difficulty at some point in their lives. Do you turn to God only when you need him desperately, or do you seek him every day? Although God will be there for us all in a crisis to help us thru, we can feel him stronger, and sooner, (saving... Sign in to see full entry.

God tells us "touch not the unholy"

We needn't subject ourselves to insults and ridicule.And it's not healthy to be constantly battered around mentally. God doesn't want us to get mixed up with those who find joy in our pain. We are told "cast not your pearls before the swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn, and... Sign in to see full entry.

Baptism-is once enough?

Does it matter which church you are baptized in? Is the act itself enough? Is one religions baptism more effective than another's? Some religions will only allow communion to be taken after being baptized in their church, regardless of any previous baptism performed. Is this a membership thing, or a...

The Only Unforgivable Sin

I had a friend when I was growing up, whose mother had committed suicide. The preacher at the church she went to, said that suicide was an unforgivable sin. She decided not to believe in God, if her mother had to be in hell. It wasn't until years later after studying on my own, that I tried to... Sign in to see full entry.

God doesn't work if you don't believe

"For behold, I am God, and I am a God of miracles, and I will show unto the world that I am the same yesterday, today, and forever, and I work not among the children of men save it be according to their faith. Isaiah 29:25 God clearly speaks of our need to have faith in him before he will ever work... Sign in to see full entry.

God has a sense of humor

"Be careful what you ask for, you just might get it" This saying literally came true for me. I was at the end of my rope, stuck in a rotten, stressful job that took me from my children. It was, do this, or lose the house. I felt trapped depressed and disillusioned. Where was God? Why wasn't he... Sign in to see full entry.

Bad Karma will follow you

I know of some people who have been taking,taking, and taking for so long they seem to be numb to the fact that it's wrong. You cannot go on with the mentality that others should pick up the slack for you, without some kind of Karma haunting you. When you give nothing to others and don't repay...
