    How do you hear from God?

    The other night I had a dream. In my dream I was at a church service when someone made an overtly political comment. I challenged the speaker on his views, the service immediately deteriorated and I was removed. Then I woke. I have been convicted by this dream; spending too much time and...

    strategies for dealing with...the difficult mother

    Long story made short. I had a lifetime struggle with an alcoholic father. He got sick and was not doing well. I received a brief message from God. Brief but overwhelming; it was like being soaked in a tsunami. "Go forgive your father!" I did not want to, but when He tells you to do...

    strategies for dealing with...the difficult mother

    The door I speak about is not for anyone to barge in on. Again, no one should tolerate abuse. The door is your heart, your willingness to wait and to understand there are significant things yet to come. It is your willingness to offer this issue in prayer, both for yourself and your mother...

    strategies for dealing with...the difficult mother

    Whether you have the best mom on earth or something else, there is a bond between you that is unique, not shared with anyone else. No one should ever endure abuse from anyone, but please keep the door open so God may enter and perhaps totally change your relationship. He does that sometimes...

    Gods Word

    "We need to compare ourselves with ourselves, not with others." This is truth! Sadly, reading down your list, in honesty I do very poorly. I try, but what I want to do, I do not; and what I do not want to do, this I keep on doing. Who can rescue me from this body of sin? Praise be to...

    Be Encouraged

    Thank you for this message. If we could ever fully understand that we are where God has brought us, and not yet where he will bring us, most of our disagreements would disappear.

    The key to remember for all of us. One's interpretation of Scripture is not equal to Scripture itself in authority.

    A couple come instantly to mind but I have no wish here to hijack your question. Sometimes "Christian" unacceptance of other Christians boggles my mind.

    What would you chose?

    Matthew 20: 24 When the ten heard about this, they were indignant with the two brothers. 25 Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. 26 Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to...

    Homosexual Brother In Law

    I have a couple of questions: If your brother-in-law was an alcoholic and booze would be served at the reception, would you go? If the reception was held at casino, would you go? Would you still be concerned about the impact on your son? I am not sure your issues about your son are that...

    What would you chose?

    One cannot be any of these choices with God until he is first a servant. This is the first and most important character of all Christians, then he may accomplish other things.

    I think we all live in the light, but sometimes fail to see from whence it comes. We are surrounded by right. Nice work!

    Should I get Baptized again in my 20s

    Many Christians do not believe in baptism until you fully understand the meaning of this very important sacrament. Other Christians do not believe understanding is quite so important. From the way you post your question and response (and I note you have not provided a "No" option) it is pretty...
