I miss so much of the social "culture"  in my neck of the woods that we enjoyed in the 80s, which were my teen years, as well.

Oh my goodness:43:, Shiloh!  You are so much younger than I thought!

Very similar sister...I'm 65 and became a Christian in 1977.

Was it during the Charismatic renewal?  That was happening when I got saved.  I did get a really good grounding in the Word as I had a wonderful Pastor and his beautiful wife.  I was in Sydney at the time.

I remember a beautiful sunny Autumn day (Easter Sunday) at Balmoral Beach, being baptised in water.  When I came out of the water and headed for the beach, the whole church was standing on the shore singing "I love you Lord".  Beautiful memories.  I would love to see those people again.

It's all a matter of perspective, Neighbor. I'm sorry for your experiences. But I remember the glass half full

I really loved reading your story.  Thank you.

I went to the movies tonight and the movie was set in the '80s which were my teen years. Everything from the fashion (bad I know :) ) to the music in the movie made me really miss that decade . I got kinda melancholy!

Should we as Christians long for times past?

Looking far back is far less depressing than looking short forward. 

We just adopted a kitten that may well out live us both.

It goes by so fast.

And no I don't believe God is lamenting our lack of anticipating heaven from time to time.

God is love.

God is practical.

And when people DO finally get together, they ignore each other while they text on their phones!

This is modern day dating!

If all else fails, you've always got your phone!

I have heard of people marrying their phones.   So dating their phones is part of the modern dating scene, LOL.

Back the in late 90s, the cell phone was used as a way of getting out of a bad date.   A girl would have a friend call her and if the date wasn't going well, she would pretend that the call was an emergency and she had to leave.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Daniel: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 3

      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this study, I'll be focusing on Daniel and his picture of the resurrection and its connection with Yeshua (Jesus).

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
