I find reading the passage in multiple Bible versions can sometimes help. You might also try reviewing it in a Hebrew interlinear version and study the key words in the passage. Internet searches sometimes help if the confusion is a word meaning. There are also times that you just have to...

Yes my friend I understand. I can count on one hand the number of times I have had a full nights sleep in the past 8 years. It can get very tough. I also know what it is like (and how painful it can be) to look back. But I also know the beauty that comes from selflessness and caring for...

What is a "Club"? Isn't this just another word for a bar? Is it not a place to dress up to be seen, to drink and interact with others? Can't friends meet in the home, or maybe at a café or over lunch, or at the park? It seems to me someone is fogging the real issue here.

Head down, neck bent, shoulders small and stooped, Hands held to the face as if in prayer. Gazing into a void of empty dreams and promises, Yet sagging under the crush of self-creation. Heated, cooled, pampered; numb to the earth, Never feeling the sun, touching the wind or straining, To feel...

Great work! God wants you to leave your homeland And go to a strange and distant place, That you might share the gospel, That these might know His grace. That may be just down the street, but still strange and distant.

I absolutely love the little honey bear, it speaks to me on so many different levels. Welcome to CC yourself, you have a lot to contribute. I also like your bible reference to the commandments!

Welcome to CC Loielhn. There are lots of great people here, jump in. I am sure He has plans for your participation on this site too.

Welcome to CC, there are lots of great people here. Several generations ago my family immigrated from County Down. Somehow though, these words still resonance in my soul: Oh, Mary, this London's a wonderful sight With people here working by day and by night They don't sow potatoes nor barley...

You do amazing work. When I try to write something it usually takes me about three weeks!

Your work is well done. There does indeed seem to be a part of us all that cries for something better, that is instinctively repulsed by wrong and remains deeply dissatisfied. The same emotions have expressed here by others. C. S. Lewis explained something very important for me about this...

Me too.....

Your poem reminded me of another: The Cross was his Own They borrowed a bed to lay His head When Christ the Lord came down; They borrowed the ass in the mountain pass For Him to ride to town; But the crown that He wore and the Cross that He bore Were His own-- The Cross was His own. He...

True words from one who has fought and struggles an has the scars, Geat work!

I have many times read and heard preached, the story of Christ washing the disciple’s feet in the upper room. The message has always been about humility, how Jesus is humble and we are to be likewise, humble in our service. It remains a beautiful message and one of my favorites. But it was...

It is painful when no one understands what we are experiencing, usually because they have (not yet) gone through the trial themselves. Sometimes we can at least take a little joy from that. But is it not comforting that there is one who hears and understands our grunts.

I really enjoy your words, but not so much the feelings it leaves. Great work!

Welcome to CC, and I did enjoy your poem.

Much like America, the Amorites occupied a land "flowing with milk and honey." YHWH withheld his judgement against them for four generations because their sin "...has not yet reached its full measure". Our most patient creator also told Abraham that for the sake of ten he would not destroy...

Yes, God was slow to bring destruction to the Amorites as their sin had not yet reached completion. He waited patiently for 400 years, but then it came.

I acknowledge the truth of your word and disagree with none, but also know that underneath the news media reports, the vast majority of Americans have not shed their trust in God. Is YHWH waiting once again for the sins of the Amorites to reach it's full measure? It seems so.
