I, also, will be printing this out. I will do an inductive study on this. There are bits and pieces that I do know where they were incorrect but I want to get all of the facts straight before I post THE TRUTH. A lot of the bible verses are taken out of context. I will get back to you as soon as possible, although it may take a while. In the mean time keep your faith. You know inside that God is real and NOT contradictory...I will do my best to prove this... even if I have to study every single word. (if you are saved) the holy spirit is living inside you and you cannot second guess that. Pray to God and tell him how this makes you feel and pray for wisdom, guidance, and some good, accurate information as you are waiting. Thanks, HIS.

Hi- I read this post Saturday night. I am pretty educated in the bible but when I read Malachi I felt awful. I did know that we were supposed to offer ten percent. I don't remember reading that before, not that I was stealing from my Father! My husband left me with a new baby. I have no income. I am recieving no fixed amount of money. (Except the state sends about 100 dollars a month). I used to place offerings when I had money but rarely ten percent. After reading Malachi I decided to offer a quarter of the money I saved in my bank account. I gave joyfully. I expected nothing back. This Sunday evening during dinner I recieved a phone call. A long while ago, I had tried working with a brand new business ...just starting out. They agreed to pay me a very large sum of money. They paid me two times but couldn't after that because the business started out rocky. They owed me a lot. It had been months since I had spoken to them and I even called and their phone was disconnected. Today, out of the blue, they called just to say that a check is in the mail and they are profusely sorry that it took so long. God is so good. I urge anyone to tithe...don't expect anything in return and do it joyfully. Malachi 3:10" Bring all the tithes into the storehouse so there will be enough food in my Temple. If you do," says the Lord Almighty," I will open the windows of heaven for you. I will pour out a blessing so great you won't have enough room to take it in! Try it! Let me prove it to you!" There is only truth in the word. To God be the glory!

I thought this may be helpful. proverbs 27:8 'a person who strays from home is like a bird that strays from its nest.'

hey, I was just reading my bible and I thought this may be helpful to you. proverbs 27:8'a person who strays from home is like a bird that strays from its nest.' I have been praying for you.-His.

Unfortunately, I am not as wise as Solomon was. I do; however, have advice from Solomon...Proverbs17:9"Disregarding another persons's faults preserves love; telling about them separates close friends."17:14"Beginning a quarrel is like opening a floodgate, so drop the matter before a dispute breaks out18:19It's harder to make amends with an offended friend than to capture a fortified city. Arguments separate friends like a gate locked with iron bars." 18:24" There are "friends" who destroy each other, but a real friend sticks closer than a brother." What I gather from this is that it is probably best to disregard the odor...does it change your opinion of your "friend/coworker"...chances are NO. If; however, your friend or coworker asks you, you need to be honest.(19:1"It is better to be poor and honest than to be a fool and dishonest.") If, it comes to that, also know...20:15"Wise speech is rarer and more valuable than gold and rubies."...choose your words carefully!! I pray that I was of some help. -HIS

Dear Kings&Pawns- I moved out of my parents home when I was sixteen years old and married at eighteen. I REALLY tried to do things "right" and worked very hard. I was very mature for my age but I still didn't have the experience I desperately needed. I am now twenty and unfortunately, my husband left (when my son was 2 months old). I thought he was a great guy, I didn't know what to watch out for! You can be the most mature 16 year old that ever graced this earth but I urge you to wait until you have more life experience. I am assured that there are some people that do move out young and do well; however, they usually end up working ten times harder than they would have otherwise. Whatever you decide the Lord will guide your steps. Proverbs 16:9"We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps." Pray about your decision for guidance. I will be praying for you.-HIS
