older brother of prodigal son like us but Jesus wants us like the father

very wise, resourceful and balanced answer Jayne. re Read, memorize, study, and meditate. God reminded me other week to add "do it" to your list -
that is like art is also subjective......peotry/psalmist is drawing a picture of God's grace/majesty

modesty, warmth, enabling....i am from cambridge bro!

The Lord wraps himself in light as with a garment; he stretches out the heavens like a tent and lays the beams of his upper chambers on their waters. has this got a deeper meaning than the joy of poetry?

Either I am over thinking this, or I'm a jerk.

no, not bad to move on Remember Philippians 3:13-14 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. -
sower, I was a bit cheeky true your words are right for this passage but can I illustrate my concern... scenario 1 - after many years a lone man entered a crowd of 500 and suddenly the 500 was not gonna perish in the tsanami scenario 2 - after many years the lone man chose not to enter the crowd of 500 and suddenly the 500 was gonna perish in the tsanami is this why the lone man gets the patience of God?

Dancing and using instruments in church
lokp replied to God is within her's topic in Have a problem? Looking for advice?
dancing and music will not please everyone...either too loud, too worldly, too dull, and so on. someone will be offended whatever you do. The priority must be to honor the Lord. The pastor is responsible for the flock under his care Ezekiel 34:2 “Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel; prophesy and say to them: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Woe to you shepherds of Israel who only take care of yourselves! Should not shepherds take care of the flock? Pray "God is within her" for your pastor, and to God for Proverbs 3:5-6 to come alive for you -
Whoever would foster love covers over an offense, but whoever repeats the matter separates close friends. Proverbs 17:9 NIV what does this mean?

what is portion of our attitude that thinks of Israel?

I see neighbour sir, I was thinking initially what a complicated situation but death of family brings up every feeling of shame, honour, guilt, respect, rights and obligation. We are clinical and respect the dead by getting on with life as soon as possible (like 3 days), in our culture. you have reminded me to pray for Israel, but I am cloudy on Netanyauh...what your view on him? -
absolutely, that pastor is responsible to be scriptural

Annette,each day I check the verse on biblegateway and if it is a rhema, I memorize it by spending 3 or so visits till I say it all without looking.then I think it about during day and then anytime odd time forever. weekly or so I dig into Greek and cross-refs of a memory verse

I pray you do Sir, can I add this... their then 48 year history of failure to accomplish the number one task they were supposed to accomplish. - twice you said burying the dead is top priority for these churchfolk...why is that so important? Burying is only 3 day affair over here in New Zealand was made a kicking and screaming I don't want to go Christian. - isn't Ps 23:2 true! -

I am working my way thro this post, don't add more till I digest this Aside I mentioned previously about coping emotionally with difficult things...I cannot write a long lifestory but the word "prozac" will enlighten enough. Shalom -
