However the "Joy of the Lord " can equal and easily superceed all worldly pleasures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also to me it seems like people who live what you would call a good life ie. They dont break the law, not into drugs, or realy any kind of imorality have good lives because even if they do not follow or know Christ, they are still recieving the blessings of living a moral lifestyle. Many of us have came from a broken lifestyle such as I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people will be happy just to have a bed to sleep in, while others will not be happy until they make another million. When your happiness is in Christ, it makes no difference what your circumstances are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just don't know.......and we need to pray hard for anyone who is without God. Amen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be easier until it was over....and you stood before God. That would be about when things would go south..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't get it. I know many atheists, agnostics, buddists that are very happy. Why has not God shown them wrong in their beliefs? I don't understand. There is a thing called common grace- do good things, and according to God's order, good things happen. Then you have the fact that sin is deceitful.

And when the apostate "Christians" wake up and the saved are raptured, prayerfully hundreds of thousands will be brought to Christ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
