Here's a list of the verses used in this chapter. Hope it helps! Job 8:9 Psalm 39:4 Psalm 119:19 1 Peter 1:17 Philippians 3:19-20 James 4:4 2 Corinthians 5:20 1 Peter 2:11 1 Corinthians 4:18b 1 Corinthians 7:31 John 16:33 John 16:20 John 15: 18-19 2 Corinthians 4:18 1 Peter 2:11 Hebrews 11:13, 16
"I do have a problem with the thought that someone can be a ruthless murderer but then decide that Jesus is their saviour and will then go to heaven. That just doesn't make sense to me." But that's what makes the love of God so wonderful....at any point in your life, you can receive Him, turn your back on your old life, and He will forgive you. The point is, He truly wants ALL of us to be in Heaven with Him, which is why He gives us every oppo
"How do you guys feel about the concept of original sin? I have known people who have had babies that were terribly ill and they were terrified because the infant hadn't been baptized yet. " I beiieve that babies/children are considered pure and free from sin until they reach the "age of accountability", which is generally thought to be around the age of 12. I had my children "dedicated" as infants, which is more of a ceremony for the parents,
"I am a good person. I treat others as I would have them treat me. My family means the world to me. I am respectful of my parents. I have never harmed another. I donate time and money to charity. I help friends and family whenever possible." While those are all admirable qualities, it is my opinion that they alone will not get you into heaven. The BIble says that the only way to do that is to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, and t
I picked Bill to win from the very first episode. There was just something about him that made me believe he was someone Donald would want working for him. Both Bill and Kwame seem to be great guys, and they did a marvelous job on their last task, but Kwame needed to be a little more aggressive. I wish he had been aware that he had the ability to fire Omarosa...I think that would have made a huge difference in how his task worked out. I wish Bill the
1) Loving Him Supremely God longs for you to know Him and spend time with Him. 2) Trusting Him Completely This means having faith that He knows what is best for your life. Expect Him to keep His promises, help you with problems, and do the impossible when necessary. 3) Obeying Him Wholeheartedly This means obeying completely and exactly,
When you talk you are only repeating what you already know--but if you listen, you may learn something. What a boost to your self-esteem to know that the one person in this world you value most is truly interested in your thoughts, opinions and feelings. The give-and-take of communication is the nourishment that causes a marriage to thrive and grow.
God did not need to create you, but He chose to create you for His own enjoyment. You exist for His benefit, His glory, His purpose and His delight. (Don't know about anyone else, but I'm troubled by the way this is worded...makes us sound like a bunch of toys for God.) BRINGING PLEASURE TO GOD IS CALLED WORSHIP 1) Worship is far more than music.
"Hey Poet.....haven't you posted on my article?" Hey, Teacher....yes, I have posted over there a few times.
Ditto to what Mack said. I am thinking of you. Don't worry... it's probably bigger than a brussel sprout. Yeah, I'm betting it's at least the size of a medium sized cabbage... Seriously, hope all goes well, and I'll be holding y
Your fate has been decided.... You are one of the lucky ones! Because of your virtue and beliefs, you have escaped eternal punishment. You are sent to Purgatory! Purgatory -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You have escaped damnation and made it to Purgatory, a place where the dew of repentance washes off the stain of sin and girds the spirit with humility. Through contrition, con
The first rule is to keep an untroubled spirit. The second is to look things in the face and know them for what they are. All human beings have painful experiences that have an impact on them at some level. They can affect the way we make decisions and relate to others, including our mates. If you experience feelings of guilt, failure, anger or shame as a res
Well, none of my children were/are allowed to date until they are sixteen, so they didn't/won't go to prom as a freshman. IMO, proms are for juniors and seniors, and as I remember, freshman and sophomores are seen as intruding when they attend, date or friend or whatever. JMO, of course.
"Older men are nice,treat you with respect but they aren't really better lovers." THAT all depends on the man, Scarlett, believe me!! LOL
Awwwwww....what an adorable picture....enjoy this time in life, it goes by wayyyyyyyyyy too fast.
"You are doing an excellent job in summarizing this book" Thank you...I just hope at least one person is getting something from it!!
btw, the quote feature isn't working for me, either, nor is adding the bracketed "quote" and "/quote".........just thought I'd pass that along.
Now, as for the discussion, I'm sorry Dan but I have no interest at all about whether you agree with me or not. I am simply telling you the way life works. The way life works IN YOUR OPINION....at your point in life, with your particular life experiences.....and that's precisely what Dan has been posting, as well....his view of how the world works....
"Not like, an eighty year old, or anything. But with someone who's more mature... Like, thirty, or something. Older but sexy. And experienced. I think that would be soooooo hot!!!!! Seriously the hottest thing. Older men are so sexy, you know? They're all, confident in themselves and stuff. And that turns me on soooo much!" As someone who is incredibly happily married to someone 18 yrs her senior, after two failed marriages (one to someone 3 y
"For some kid (and I mean that literally) to argue about adult relationships as if he is on the same level as people who have been married decades is just the height of arrogance."This is the only point I actually have a problem with. First off, age means nothing. A rose is a rose is a rose; an idea is an idea is an idea. There's no excuse for dismissing an idea based on age, even if it's from a seven-year-old. " Bingo! You've as much right to
"For instance, you don't try to convince others or necessarily work very hard communicate your arguments." And yet, if we're all presenting our opinions, maybe he isn't TRYING to convince others, just putting out there what HE thinks...most times, for instance, I don't need others to be convinced of what I say, I just want to let them know how I feel or what I think, and figure they can take it or leave it.
The ultimate goal of the universe is to show the glory of God. The glory of God is who God is--the essence of His nature, the weight of His importance, the radiance of His splendor, the demonstration of His power, and the atmosphere of His presence. We are to recognize His glory, honor His glory, declare His glory, praise His glory, reflect His glory, and live for His
The pleasure of all reading is doubled when one lives with another who shares the same books. Put aside the daily paper filled with depressing news. Instead, go to the nearest library or bookstore on an exploratory mission with your spouse. Search until you find a book that both of you would enjoy. Reclaime the long-forgotten pleasure of reading for enjoyment
"Also, sometiemes it makes me angry that people can do as they please and act very selfish and then soon enough, everyone will forget it and forgive them. It's almost as if we should all do anything we want in life and be selfish because everyone will forget it soon enough anyways" Forgiving doesn't mean forgetting, though. While we are to forgive instantly, forgetting and restoring trust, if it ever happens, is a slow going process. Forgiving
"I don't suppose that I can do much more than that, but let her know that I will support her decision to love anyone, if she feels they are worthy enough. And that, in the end, is the 'norm' of my way of living." I think that's a great way to raise your daughter...if more children were raised that way, the world would be a much better place, IMO.
