  1. AMEN! Psalms 143:8
  2. Matthew 6:27
  3. John 11:25
  4. Till today I had never heard of nor used it. You could ask the better buisiness buraeu if they have had any complaints. But from what I saw on the website it looked pretty good.
  5. In those days wine was safer to drink than water. The occasion you speak of was a wedding dinner/reception which is, as far as I know, a celebration. Excess is the sin, not the wine itself. Wine in excess weakens your mind and senses and makes you vulnerable and easily tempted. Proverbs 20:1
  6. The power is not yours to have friend, but Gods'. Surrender yourself to him. Open your heart and pray for his intervention. Ask him to save you from yourself. You must truly wan't him in your life to go to your knees and ask. He will show you the way and plant the seed in you that will lead you to salvation.
  7. Luke 13:23
  8. Everything we do is measured by its intent. If you think it is bad and you do it then you should repent. If you think it is good and makes others happy then you should do it in Jesus' name. Please don't flame me but I see the Bible as God "knocking". Jesus' teachings were of love, grace and faith. Laws apply to sin and freedom applies to love. In a two dimensional world a lighthouse makes a mighty beacon. In a three dimensional world, a star makes a better beacon. Let Gods light shine from you in every direction, not just in the direction you are looking. I am not worthy of Gods' gifts so I pray that I may share in his wisdom even if for a few moments a day to keep me humble. Lord sift our hearts and souls so the chafe might be caught away. Lift your heads Brothers and Sisters and look for the light........it is in the eyes of your neighbor.
  9. Its a package deal. Personally I gave up drinking because it affected my judgement. Knowing that I follow Jesus, I am now a target for Satan. I will not make myself an easier target by being easier to temp. I saw/see anything addictive as binding. So I gave up caffeine too. :-) I want nothing in my life that distract me from My Lord Jesus' teachings.
  10. Main Entry: es
  11. Well said Mr and Mrs Irish. I too prayed that he would empower the candidate that would best serve him. What has been the saddest thing about this whole election is that our president spends 9 months or more just trying to stay in office instead of taking care of business. I am most grateful he is back to work.
  12. I cannot quote it, but there was someone at WB that said it most eloquently. He said that religion is man reaching out to God and that Christianity is God reaching out to man. I don't know about "real religion" but I do hope that many more people will come to know and love Jesus.
  13. Matthew 16:6 Jesus said to them,
  14. Matthew 16:6 Jesus said to them,
  15. Psalms 10:9 He lurks in secret as a lion in his ambush. He lies in wait to catch the helpless. He catches the helpless, when he draws him in his net. Proverbs 28:1 The wicked flee when no one pursues; But the righteous are as bold as a lion. Amos 3:8 The lion has roared. Who will not fear? The Lord Yahweh has spoken. Who can but prophesy? It could be the man that did this is not sure of why he did it himself.
  16. Smell has a more basic function that in humans is quite weak compared to most animals. We can use our sense of smell to tell if something is worth eating or even palatable. Smell can sometimes warn us of danger in advance of any unpleasant encounters. We have all heard that a dog can smell your fear. I can only surmise that many of our other motions must have a detectable scent tied to them as well. I wonder, if pagan rituals took place in fields of fresh wildflowers, would there be folks saying we shouldn't be seen or go into fields of fresh flowers. I am certain that we are not judged by what we do so much as we are judged by the intent we had in committing that action. Matthew 7:1
  17. Our life and death are gifts from God. We celebrate the day we received this gift as a remembrance. We are thankfull as we mark another year passed, hopefully to our Lords happiness and pleasure. John 16:21

    Works/Fruit?

    [WEB]Acts 26:20
  19. Quite an amazing story. I am inspired. Surely we are reminded that we need not fear that which cannot destroy our spirit. As long as our faith and love for God is strong we are immune. In situations like that I can only trust my heart to see the truth of it.
  20. I base what I believe on "a feeling". 1 Peter 4:8

    What is God?

    When I was a child I had a thought that left me in awe. Even now it still seems far fetched, but who can say. Think of a solar system as a single atom, and a galaxy a cell. We are part of a being that is infinitesimal. By this rough concept we can only begin to perceive WHAT God is. He created this universe and everything in it by an act of will. There is no simple answer. In whatever God is I know he is infinite. Whatever love he has for me I am and will be forever thankful for. I am also grateful that I am not alone in this world. Whatever God is or turns out to be that satisfies your curiosity. I hope you find what you seek.
  22. 1 John 4:7
