What are members of Worthy’s thoughts on AA? I have some, but I’d like to hear your thoughts. Oh! Unless drinking is only a problem for the lost and unsaved?

So many hurricanes! Please be safe! It breaks our hearts that our people and country are being attacked so. Crazy me would say that the “powers that be” are manipulating weather and directing it toward our precious country. But that’s crazy talk eh?

However, I will wake up tomorrow still disappointed and even shocked that my life has become so narrow. I live in a big rig truck. I miss my children! They are “grown” but this isn’t what God could have wanted for me!? Maybe I should have titled this Disappointment.

I’m not a new Christian. I prefer these days to refer to myself as a member of the Body of Christ. I believe Pride is perhaps the original sin. Or the sin that keeps us in bondage. Even without our realization. I suffer from what I think is depression, or should I call it disappointment, or should I call it pride being dismantled? I honestly thought my life would pan out better. Pride? I always considered myself humble, but when I honestly look at my every thing, I think I’m not being humble. I’m ungrateful and prideful. Ohhhh it makes sense now. Throw up your hands and praise our Lord!!!

I completely understand where you’re coming from. My husband has gotten way better, but sometimes his anger is outrageous. Very emotionally hurtful. I give him up to God and avoid him when he’s like that when I can. It’s hard to know what to do. Let’s pray for each other.

He was preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom. To His audiences, the Jew. Unto us is given the Gospel of Grace. Jesus hadn’t yet shed his blood when he taught the beatitudes. The Jews could have still believed and usher in the Kingdom. The King was right there.

That makes sense to me. I think we, the church, are the body and the bride of Christ. Wow! ❤️

I cringe when people use the Lord’s name in vain. He should be praised! Someday every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord!!!

I know we here at Worthy are certainly the body of Christ. Are we also the bride?

Yowm, I’m only 100%certain of 2 things. I am saved by grace 1Corinthians 15:1-6. And I am a member of the body of Christ. 1Corinthians 12:12-31, Romans12:4-5, Ephesians 4:4, Colossians 1:24, 1:18, Ephesians 1:22, 5:23, 2:19-22, John 2:19-22, Ephesians 2:19-22,Galatians 3:27, Colossians 2:19. On and on. That is what matters.

I’m not any of those. I ride in a big rig. I do believe that the promises for Israel are different than the promises for the church, who is the body of Christ.

I don’t think John is part of the body of Christ. He is a foundation and is part of Israel.

To be the mysterious Body of Christ is to be truly a part of Christ Himself. What a glorious place to be!

Paul tells us all throughout his epistles that we are the body of Christ. In a mysterious way, we literally are the body of Christ. Wow!

I firmly believe it is true because that’s what the Word says. It’s wonderful and baffling. In response to IserveIam

I would recommend the Epistles of Paul. That is where we find the Gospel of Grace. Nowhere else is that Gospel proclaimed. But first we must witness verbally to them and pray with them, I think.

I’m always trying to picture myself seated in heavenly places. I end up imagining an airport-like waiting room. It’s hard for me to grasp that concept.

I don’t think having a small family is selfish. It’s overwhelmingly expensive to have and raise children. I used to work with single mothers with children in the school district to help them get a high school diploma. All of them were on complete welfare and having more children was just money in their pockets. I always thought THAT was selfish!

My grampa. He told me the Gospel of Grace when I was very young. When he told me what Jesus did for me I flung myself on the ground and wailed and cried. I was overcome. Thank God!

I’ve read many threads and posts and would sometimes like to comment. I feel I am getting to know some of you, but nobody knows me! I only have a cell phone at my disposal because I drive a truck with my husband.

This is something I needed to read. Dying to self seems impossible to me. I would wish I had no emotions. God help me!
