Happy Birthday!!! I hope you have a blessed day today & everyday!! Save us some cake lol!!! Your sister in Christ, Tammy

I agree Jade!! I don't care for his politics, but your right, we should all pray for him. God is the only one who can change Obama's mind & turn this country around! Whether he was our choice or not, he does have 2 children & a family. 2 wrongs never make a right. God be with us all!!

I wonder why after Jesus was crusified & He appeared to Mary, He told her to touch Him not but then when He appeared to Thomas He told him to touch Him. Why wasn't Mary able to touch HIm?

Amen sister!I think so many are running around scared due to all the elections & other events unfolding around the world. Fear is not of God! As you said keep your eyes on God & the rest will be taken care of as He wills. Jesus will never leave or forsake us as long as we keep our eyes as well as our hearts on Him! God bless you Lynette you have a wonderful gift!!

I agree Shiloh! However all that has been going on has made me think , back in Biblical times the people wanted Saul as their king even though he wasn't the Godly choice so God have the people the king they wanted. & were cursed until the time of David. I'm not by any means saying that I wanted Obama for president (I have been discouraged by the outcome of the election), I don't think any of the Christian people I know wanted him either. But do to our countries failing morals & thinking with their wallets he was elected so therefore the people got what they wanted & I can see that as much as we have turned from God as a country that we will have to pay.It has been on my heart lately wondering why it is that more Christians dont stand up & let our voices be heard, is it that we are supposed to be meek? I agree we are to be meek & humble but there is such a thing as righteous anger(ie Jesus in the temple). It has also been on my heart that even though these times are getting extremely scary , we should not fear, the bible tells us not to fear That God is with us & also that the spirit of fear is not of God. We should always look to Him in all things & pray, pray, & pray some more! He will not leave or forsake us! God be with us all!

What a beautiful illustration!! Thanks for sharing it! You are right we need to use the gifts God gives us & throw "self" out the window. God Bless You!!

Yes they still exist today!!Fortunately I'm now in a church that believes that also! My last church however sounds alot like the one your attending. You just keep on doing what God tells you to do & thank Him for the wonderful gift he has given you. Don't worry what others think of you, because you will have to face God one day & they will too. You do what God tells you is right! God bless you!! Love in Christ, Tammy

I get those alot also, & sometimes get the same email more than 3 times a day. I try to ignore them & just delete them. God knows my heart & i dont need to prove it to the folks sending emails.

Lynette, You truely have a gift!! God Bless you in all that you do!! I love you sister!

My biggest ongoing sin is the sin of my tongue, while its the smallest member of my body it can do the most harm. This is something I wrestle with daily. Speak or don't speak , how something I say can be hurtful whether or not that was my intention. You can kill someone mentally & emotionally with words. So i continually struggle with this. I've had more sin that I have confessed about but this is one that I deal with daily.

Angelique my heart is breaking for you sister.Please don't try pills & booze it only makes things worse & I know thats easy to say & I understand your desperation. We all truely love you here! Most importantly God loves you! Although it doesn't feel like it right now your not alone. I'm praying for you sister & please know that altough we have never met I do love you & its not just empty words , I really love you & my heart is breaking for you. If you need me please don't hesitate to get in touch I'll PM you my info. I love you sister! God bless you through this devestating time. Your sister in Christ, Tammy

I like Randy too!!!

I think the most impotant thing is that he loves God 1st!!I have been blessed with a wonderful husband who treats me with respect & has been there with me in good times & bad. I also think honesty is so important even if it hurts my feelings I want to always know the truth. I give him the same in return. God Bless you!

I've noticed the atmosphere in the forum has changed lately. I see alot of posters in the forum basically attacking other posters. My question here is aren't we supposed to be Christ-like & Glorify God in all things? Aren't we supposed to let our lights shine? I know everyone has different views & come from different backgrounds but looking at some of the posts & replies it seems like proving a point is more important than showing love for our brothers & sisters. I understand that we're not all going to agree all the time, but sometimes we have to agree to disagree. I don't want to be controversial or judge anyone, I'm simply saying that it seem to get harsh & vicious in here sometimes & I think we (yes, me included) need to think about how Jesus would respond to whatever question or reply we have , not only in this forum but in our everyday lives. We are to be a reflection of Christ & I know Christ was without sin unlike us, I know its hard sometimes in some situations. I defend my faith also but sometimes we have to shake the dust off & move on & I wish we could do that without being offensive or insulting to other believers. I want you all to know that I love each & every one of you. I'm not trying to be judgemental( I fall way short myself), I just want us to think about what we say & do. God Bless You All! I love you all! Your sister in Christ, Tammy

the bible says not to swear an oath ...if you cant stick to that oath (cymbas paraphrase) also you were legally obliged to do that and we following the rules of your country which is something else the Bible says we are to do. I agree with Cymba!!!
