Having thoughts isn't wrong the same way that having lustful thoughts isn't "wrong". Actions are against scripture. Sitting around fantasizing would fall into a different category, but just having your own drive impact your thinking is natural up to a point. Young males have many lustful...

I'll just put forward that without the Lord's spirit within your reading it's just words. Think of the texts that the Pharisees had access to. The heart matters and when your heart is in the right place, the Lord working within our understanding can use whatever he chooses. The enemy may have...

It isn't for me. It has required a lot of searching/seeking and listening. I only have put forward what has helped me come to conclusions. Putting forward that the letter of the law kills is pretty clear...but finding the fulfillment of the law and heart of the Lord in many of these matters is...

There is a LOT to be said with a voice conversation in real time vs a forum and yeah I noticed she posted less than a week ago. Just exercise caution @karen0123 if you decide to reach out to this person. I'm not familiar with Whatsapp or Skype or anything really (except that I've heard of...

It's not that simple. Are we still to keep the sabbath? Jesus is Lord of the sabbath. He is also the Lord of your life and also your finances (or should be)...so what you do with your money should be as clear as how you spend/give/steward your time. Also note that the letter of the law kills...

This thread is a bit heavy for my tastes. Tons of information offered with little interaction by the OP...I don't personally like that and tend to not respond if someone "seems" to be intentionally being "non-diplomatic" with other people that are giving what they can to assist them. Not...

This could very well be similar to the young man who went to the island that was an unreached area for the gospel recently. Where they said everyone had been killed that went there and he was foolish to try. If the Lord laid it on his heart to do such a thing I can't say anything against it. I...

S is for sire as he is our Lord as well as the sire of us all as our father.

A "lot" would have to change to have vaccination as a mandate with quarantine for non-compliance. If vaccines were proven to have 100% efficacy and that NO ONE with a vaccine would be unsafe from the virus then I could see that occurring with a lot more "push"... but they aren't and haven't...

O is for obedience as that is a constant battle for me. Oh also...overcomer :D

I thought it was standing btwn two larger elephants. It still looks that way. The eyes looked unrealistic but I thought possibly a rare genetic mutation like albinism or something :P

It seems to me that even when a thread is grave bumped...it could be relevant to someone somewhere. A "thread age" warning would be cool if it were easy to implement. Most of the people I see gravebumping are new members that don't notice the date and probably just did a search for a topic...

Is that a real elephant? lol.

M is for his Majesty :) @JaumeJ I kept meaning to post this for a while because it is certainly of utility to me with the last bits of my mental energy. I've had some pretty nice moments just landing on a theme and it strengthening me. Not exactly praying but it is a way to declare that isn't a...

As for men...I stress about appearing modest. For me that only applies to not wearing sweatpants/pajamas in public (unless I'm going through the drive-thru) also bearing in mind how my jeans fit...and swimsuits. Other than that, I don't pay much heed to it. For a female I don't want to go with...

So it's not really a game. More something that I found helps me when I can't sleep or when I'm feeling oppressed. Sometimes it seems like I'm in an unproductive mindset and what I'm entertaining isn't exactly pleasing to the Lord. So I came up with this challenge for myself to use every letter...

I agree with a lot of what you've said which is surprising because I see a lot of people disagree with you. It could simply be that you are a bit "dustier/intellectual" than others are and why there is at times a rift. I'll confess I don't really understand calvinism completely but neither do I...

That looks like the brady bunch for a profile pic. Or is it some meme of that? It's hard to tell with pics on here :p I'm too young to remember really anything about the brady bunch...except the theme song. This is the story...I don't remember the next line...but there was something about...

That's what I mean by indwelt...but I suppose I can see how that could be viewed a bit differently.

Both make sense to me. That they acted of their own accord, or it was the Lord's will. Arguments could be made for both. The only additional modifier to the casting of lots argument is they weren't indwelt at that time. It doesn't exactly change anything for me because we don't 100% know...
