    You sound much better, thank you Jesus. Grieving is normal but excessive grief is unhealthy - as you have discovered. My now wife was widowed in 2011, on her birthday. Leaving out a lot of detail, I came from work to find her late husband covered by a sheet, ambulance crew and police were there...

    Iran attacks Israel, sends hundreds of drones, missiles

    Thanks for the heads up. I looked at these things about 40 years ago. Amillennialism seemed baseless then and I've seen no reason to believe otherwise. If we are living in a millennial paradise, then something has gone desperately wrong and God has gone on strike.

    Iran attacks Israel, sends hundreds of drones, missiles

    Yes. American meddling in world affairs has often turned out badly. Iran upset the British, who were mostly interested in Iranian oil. Britain is culpable as well as America. The real victims, as usual, are ordinary Iranians who suffer much from the machinations of world powers.

    Logic and reason, or intuition?

    I came home from an outing today. As always, I checked my computer for new emails etc. I'm also keeping tabs on the Israel/Iran war. But not today. My computer refused to start up. I checked a few things. I saw that we'd had a mains power failure sometime during the day. I turned off the power...

    Am I being unreasonable ?

    You do not have to endure physical abuse. "Turn the other cheek" refers to being insulted, not physically abused. Warn your mother the carer that you won't put up with it. As someone else said, you may need to bring in an aged care specialist. I know a widow, a believer, who had a complete...

    Looking forward to the cross?

    For sure. I understood the OP to mean that no one looked forward to the cross. I disagree. Israel as a nation was full of doubt and unbelief. But not so God's prophets and God's elites.

    Assurance

    Satan is the accuser of the Brethren. Resist the devil by telling him to get out of your life. Remind him of his defeat at Calvary and the precious shed blood of Jesus. As the blood of a lamb caused the destroyer to pass over Israel, so the blood of the Lamb of God forces Satan to leave you be...

    Pakistan threatens Israel with a nuclear attack.

    Sounds ominous, does it not? Except it is misleading because there is not the full context. Pakistan supposedly said it will attack Israel, if Israel nukes Iran. That is not going to happen. Israel hopes to get back to a relationship with Iran like it was before the loony Muslim take over...

    Looking forward to the cross?

    Hebrews 11: 13All these people died in faith, without having received the things they were promised. However, they saw them and welcomed them from afar. And they acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth. 17By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac on the...

    Vaccine is killing more people than covid

    It's all good, just nature's way of weeding out the aged, infirm and weak. We used to have infection parties when I was a kid. If measles was going around, our parents made sure we got to catch it also. Most kids recovered OK. Of course, vast numbers of older adults now get shingles as a...

    Looking forward to the cross?

    Agreed. Obviously for some it is not clear enough. The question is, did those who received the prophecies understand what they were seeing. They did not see it fully, but I do believe they did have some knowledge of what was to come. S Jesus is the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world...

    CCP Taking Over The Vatican?

    There is a large and strong church in China. The CCP (not really communist any more) has been trying to eradicate the church since the 1950's. There have been a few years of tolerance, but they were the exception. The Vatican cosying up to Xi is nothing to God or His victorious church. I...

    CCP Taking Over The Vatican?

    Like the Russian Orthodox "church", Rome is worldly with a pseudo Christian overlay. China's government has nothing to fear. Rome will compromise as usual. Another issue is that the CCP has produced its own version of the Bible, which is full of error and heresy. God is bigger than any nation...

    Assurance

    Start believing God's word. He is faithful to His promises. He said, "I will never leave you or forsake you". (Hebrews 13:5) Study God's word. Ask Him to reveal Himself to you. As His word gets into your heart, faith will arise. Your mind will be renewed and faith will replace fear. It will...

    Iran attacks Israel, sends hundreds of drones, missiles

    Read Romans 11. "Who has heard of such as this? Who has seen such things? Can a country be born in a day or a nation be delivered in an instant? Yet as soon as Zion was in labor, she gave birth to her children." Isaiah 66:8 "you are to tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I will...

    Vaccine is killing more people than covid

    It's a worry. 95% of Australians are vaccinated. I can't get out of my front door because of all the dead bodies.
