  1. Do you think that God wants you to be a preacher? If you have earnestly prayed about it and if you feel led to become a preacher, then by all means do.
  2. Thank you for the devotion. My mother once told me to never take on the devil myself, she said he was too powerful. She said that if he ever attacks I should just pray about it.

  4. Do you have a soulwinning ministry? I buy tracts and then I distribute them in different places. The gospel does go out, but I have no idea if it gets read or if people even take it seriously.
  5. Have you ever heard the gospel, and do you believe it? You must put your faith and trust in Jesus and believe in him to go to heaven. Do you believe that Jesus died and rose again? Do you believe he is the only begotten son of god? Do you believe the bible? Do you believe that hell is real? It is very important what you believe, as what you believe is what you become.
  6. Well, I am 33 years old. I am a little bit insulted of you asking me like that, you are not insinuating that I am a child are you?
  7. I say all the time that the complexity of human DNA points to an intelligent designer, in effect, God.
  8. Wow, this really is a small world. I too was thinking about getting a rocking chair, I just didn't know from whom.
  9. I guess I am too passive, because I take things lying down, when I should be up on my feet moving around.
  10. Hi. A friend of mine is wondering why you are talking about something so nasty. I mean, the list of sins you mentioned.
  11. Well actually, my mother and I have been watching star trek the next generation together. That program was on when I was a kid but we have been rewatching it. I don't really have a favorite episode.
  12. Aaaawwww mice are so cute! A lot of animals are so cute.m Bring him over here and I will feed him some cheese.
  13. I believe that I learned about George Washington a long time ago when I was a child and still in school, but he was our very first president, wasn't he?
  14. Uh oh! My mother was a huge hallmark fan. Once I tell her what is going on she will be so upset.I I am perplexed to read this. We all know that God is against the gay and lesbian lifestyle.
  15. Yes, as a matter of fact, I sunbathed in the heat for several minutes today. But it became so hot that I had to retreat back into the air conditioned house.
  16. Do pardon me, but I have no idea what you guys are talking about. This whole conversation seems to be very random at best.
  17. Honestly, I thought the Sabbath became obsolete with the first coming of christ. Are you guys saying that it still is of importance?
  18. I have some good memories that I would say are positive experiences, but everyone has had some good happen in their life.
  19. Well, we are not going back to church yet because of the virus. My parents are too frightened to return there until there is a vaccine created. It is kind of upsetting, because there are people there I want to make friends with but I can't see them right now.
  20. Oh so, these are like doing devotions. Yes, I am interested in this. Do you want me to post verses? How exactly does this work?
  21. So today was a pretty ordinary day for me, I woke up, got my shower, and helped my mom for awhile in the kitchen making beef vegetable stew. My father has an injured back and all he does is sit around on the sofa watching television, please pray that he heals quickly. Other than that I just sat at home and did my crafts today. I was painting rocks, and they turned out cute. I came here because I was looking to make some friends. Anyone will do. So what did you guys do today?
  22. So several weeks ago I started hearing voices saying mean and derogatory things to me, like, "You're so fat, you're so dumb." Things like that. It was the devil making me feel bad about myself, putting negative thoughts into my mind about myself. I have trusted in the Lord and put my soul into his hands.
  23. Please read this very carefully, as your eternal destiny hangs in the balance. Yes, Hell is a real place and yes, you do not want to go there. The following contains information that will save you out if it. Question: "What are the essentials of the gospel message?" Answer: The word gospel means “good news,” which is the message of forgiveness for sin through the atoning work of Jesus Christ. It is essentially God’s rescue plan of redemption for those who will trust in His divine Son in order to be reconciled to a just and holy God. The essential content of this saving message is clearly laid out for us in the Bible. In the apostle Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians, he lays out the content of the gospel message, “Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures” (1 Corinthians 15:1–4). In this passage, we see three essential elements of the gospel message. First, the phrase “died for our sins” is very important. As Romans 3:23 tells us, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” The reality of sin needs to be acknowledged by all who approach the throne of God for salvation. A sinner must acknowledge the hopelessness of his guilt before God in order for forgiveness to take place, and he must understand that the “wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23). Without this foundational truth, no gospel presentation is complete. Second, the person and work of Christ are indispensable components of the gospel. Jesus is both God (Colossians 2:9) and man (John 1:14). Jesus lived the sinless life that we could never live (1 Peter 2:22), and, because of that, He is the only one who could die a substitutionary death for the sinner. Sin against an infinite God requires an infinite sacrifice. Therefore, either man, who is finite, must pay the penalty for an infinite length of time in hell, or the infinite Christ must pay for it once. Jesus went to the cross to pay the debt we owe to God for our sin, and those who are covered by His sacrifice will inherit the kingdom of God as sons of the king (John 1:12). Third, the resurrection of Christ is an essential element of the gospel. The resurrection is the proof of the power of God. Only He who created life can resurrect it after death, only He can reverse the hideousness that is death itself, and only He can remove the sting that is death and the victory that is the grave’s (1 Corinthians 15:54–55). Further, unlike all other religions, Christianity alone possesses a Founder who transcends death and who promises that His followers will do the same. All other religions were founded by men and prophets whose end was the grave. Finally, Christ offers His salvation as a free gift (Romans 5:15; 6:23), that can only be received by faith, apart from any works or merit on our part (Ephesians 2:8–9). As the apostle Paul tells us, the gospel is “the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile” (Romans 1:16). The same inspired author tells us, “If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved” (Romans 10:9). These, then, are the essential elements of the gospel: the sin of all men, the death of Christ on the cross to pay for those sins, the resurrection of Christ to provide life everlasting for those who follow Him, and the offer of the free gift of salvation to all.
  24. You know, if you want someone to talk to, I am here. Do you have a lot of friends? Or would you like me to become one of them?
