Hi Yowm I actually had typed something else in here. However, after doing so, I felt something was wrong and went back and edited it. At the end of the day, this lady, along with the rest of the unsaved world, needs prayer for salvation. Thanks friend. I know what you mean as well. As time goes on I begin to grieve more and more for the lost as they put themselves in untenable positions by refusing to listen to the truth, or even seeking it. I sense the need for intercession more and more, as the madness in our world continues. Perhaps God may put a catalyst in their lives..... perhaps He may do anything, if we pray.... and of course you do too. I begin by praying for my neighbours and acquaintances collectively, then the wider world generally (when praying for the lost). They have no idea what they are facing of course.... neither did I, and there but for the grace of God go I. I cannot help but feel compassion as they continue to the edge of the big canyon and fall over via death or decision. I am not wanting to lay a big burden on people's hearts, it's just that I can't help but know what I am saved from, and, please God, save them. Love to you brother. Hi Cletus. I know and understand and am experiencing Gal. 2:20 bit by bit .... it's taking a while. However, if you read my reply to Yowm you will understand my heart here. Love to you brother.

Let us continue to pray for the lost all over the world, wherever they may be.

Hi Blood Bought 1953 I have heard of Zola Levitt, but have never seen his teaching. I will look him up. Thank you.

Hi Neighbor Thank you for this thread. Wonderful. I think this is spot-on Jayne. I love the OT too. I guess you have all heard that saying "The New Testament is in the Old Testament concealed and the Old Testament is in the New Testament revealed.". My first ever pastor told me that. Hallelujah! It's half-way through Good Friday here, and we have heard and sung a wonderful church service praising our wonderful Lord.

Hi Marilyn We started to get off topic a couple of pages ago when I talked about giving my testimony (sorry folks, probably my fault). It did get back on track though. I think most members agree that we just need more moderators in different time zones and for us all to take note of, and stay within, the TOS and SoF. I re-read the SoF and agree with every single point. I hope we are back on topic now if more people want to contribute (and we hope they will) - maybe we could find a way to make good things happen.

Good morning Blood Bought 1953 I don't know where you are, bro, but - "You can't be serious!" to quote a famous American. I started thinking about sharing my testimony and got a bit emotional. I promise I will sit down soon and do my best.

To all you precious brothes and sisters who encouraged me - thank you! You are all such A BLESSING TO ME!! That's why Worthy is soooo good. mmm.... I won't promise any Nobel Prize winning literature though lol. Maybe something soon.

Well done Gandalf. I see that you are an analyst but I could never do this! Hi Yowm I have often wanted to post in the Testimonies section, but because I am so long-winded in my explanations about my experiences in my desire that people understand what I mean, I have declined thus far - I feel people would not want to read such a long post! Blessings all.

Thank you Annette for this thread. I agree.

People, please don't leave. There is a solution. Together, we can pray and ask the Lord to find more moderators and watchmen and I could name some of you right now - but of course it is the Lord who will place it on your hearts, if indeed people's busy lives allow them to do this. I am sure we all want Worthy to thrive with correct doctrine, helping iron to sharpen iron, lively respectful discussion, thought provoking questions sending us scurrying to the Word to see what it says. This is what Worthy has done for me - sent me time and again to the Word, seeking to be a Berean! I want to be corrected, too, if I am wrong. Meg, please come back. I would enjoy reading your posts, I am sure.

Hi everyone I want to join Neighbor in lifting up the site of Worthy Christian Forums to the Lord and asking for His help to keep this forum going not just well, but brilliantly. I have enjoyed it immensely since joining in late 2016. It has provided a place of fellowship for me, something I needed very much. I have loved being a part of Worthy and meeting some wonderful people. I feel I belong and want to continue to join with the saints in denouncing false doctrine and lifting up the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ our Saviour and Lord. I want to continue to pray for those who need prayer and meet other brothers and sisters from all over this amazing place we call home - temporarily! (Or we are just passing through whilst on our journeys home.) Please everyone, let's get together and praise God for this great place to come for encouragement and fellowship. We need Worthy!!

Hi Ella I have told you previously that you can come and cry out for help and we will point the way to Jesus for you, and pray for you my dear sister. I have read the other members' posts and cannot add anything more - but please know that if one part of the body hurts, the other parts hurt with them. The body of Christ here is with you and we love you as our sister in Christ Ella. We will pray and cry to God for you. Just know that; and go to Jesus as often as you can and tell Him everything that's on your heart and about the pain you feel. He understands.

Hi Ella Can you do this please dear sister? Say to the Lord - "Lord, I am placing my trust in you without reservation and I thank you for healing me, in Jesus' name, Amen.". God understands our simple prayer, and He will answer those prayers. Sometimes it takes time but if you put your trust in Him, He will do it. Love in Jesus' name, sister. Another thought - it doesn't matter how many times you want to cry out - we are here to point the way to Jesus every time for you.

Welcome to Worthy caleb2525. I only look to Jesus as He is the answer. As we look into the Bible, God shows us how to live. He shows us what it means to be our best friend. He helps us understand what to stay away from, how to get our sin and guilt dealt with and gives us hope in this life and eternal life in the life to come. Ask questions, seek His answers. He never turns anyone away. And He performed the greatest sacrifice known to man in order to give us that eternal life. There is so much more to tell you, but others can help as well!

Welcome to Worthy Narrowroad. We're going against the broad road people, but the reward is the best prize ever made known to man and we will keep looking to/for that prize! The Way of the cross leads home.

Indeed, there is not a righteous man on earth who continually does good and who never sins. Eccl. 7:20

Amen to that! This is the whole point - those desiring to be married for life make a commitment before God and man. Even people who do not know God make a commitment before man. Any church-goer knows that common law marriage - where they have not made a commitment to each other before God and man and just moved in together - is wrong. They would know it by their conscience, at the very least. Another point - the "spouse" in this case is an unbeliever!

Sorry people. Didn't realise. Thanks for letting me know, angels4u. Blessings.

There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. Rom 8:1-4.

Wisdom strengthens a wise man more than ten rulers who are in a city. Eccl. 7:19

Hi Grendal74 Like Ana, I wanted to answer but had the same problem. We would love to hear from you, and try to help you.

Hi Maxwell.Skywalker The head pastor is not standing on the Word of God. He is allowing sin in the church. The Bible is not open to his interpretation; God's Word is Holy and True and Righteous and Just. This just indicates where some of the church is today - wanting God on their terms - but we, loving God in His Holiness, will accept nothing less than His terms, for they are the only ones that matter. Here are some scriptures: Titus 1:5 For this reason I left you in Crete, that you might set in order what remains, and appoint elders in every city as I directed you, 6 namely, if any man be above reproach, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, not accused of dissipation or rebellion.... If this is the requirement of an elder, why would it be any different for an assistant pastor? 1 Cor. 6:18 - Flee immorality. Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the immoral man sins against his own body. 19 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? 20 For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body. 1 Cor. 7:2 - But because of immoralities, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband. 2 Cor.6:14 - Do not be bound together with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness. If they are not willing to accept that it is wrong, then I would leave and find a better church.

Hi Kay. Firstly, welcome! Good to meet you. I have been married to the same wonderful man for 29 years this month. Hallelujah! I love him to bits. But communication has been a problem. Kay., men (in general) do not like to explain a lot. They might tell you something and, when you ask for details ('cos we want to know all about it) they can't always elaborate. They are short on detail. Getting some information is like pulling hens' teeth! I have to be honest - this has been a source of frustration at times. Somehow, in the meeting, going out with, spending time with your future spouse, the wedding, honeymoon etc. the communication thing does not always appear. Then, when things settle down, you find he doesn't always want to share everything. There are many reasons for this. Willa and Gandalf have shared wisdom, received from God over many years. I think my husband sometimes goes silent because he does have concerns that he feels he wants to be quiet about - in other words, he wants to see how something turns out before worrying me. He has to put up with someone who shares her opinions and frustrations a lot! We are so different. Work with him - accept him the way he is and love him and pray for him. You loved each other enough to take the big step. Over time my hubby learned what I was like, and I learned about him. I learned to get eye contact before broaching a serious question, and not to bother talking while he was watching his sport. I find driving in the car conducive to communication, as well - there's no distractions except looking out the window (until you have children). On the other hand, he's a funny guy. He makes everyone laugh and has learned to share more with me. As you become more "best friends" I believe you will find that he will share more. It's just being patient and praying, and showing faith in him. I don't know if it will, but I hope this helps. I have rarely seen a marriage when both parties talk as much as the other. With most couples one is more vocal, the other is quieter. I love Proverbs 31!

Hi Elissa I am praying for a miracle for you. Keep praying and praising Jesus.
