I've been there many times myself, brother. When I think I'm doing great and have things under control, that's when I have to eat some "humble pie" to see how rotten at the core I still am and how much I need God to change my heart to reflect His goodness and grace. It's like Paul said himself...

And what is heaven like? Here's a small taste from Philippians: Philippians 4:8 New King James Version 8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report...

I like your reference to Romans 1:20 - Romans 1:20 New King James Version 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and [a]Godhead, so that they are without excuse, "God is Spirit"...

Thank you for sharing this testament, brother. I really enjoyed this and can relate with it so well as I have choice words for the poor driving I witness on a regular basis. I usually just hold my hand up in the air like "what are you doing?" Or, I give a thumbs down for really poor driving (if...

This is a great story, Pilgrim! I think most of us can relate with this while driving (if we don't say it, we at least think it!). Very funny, and I give you credit for facing the music. Many would have shied away and avoided the folks. More to come on your fine posting later but off to a July...

Well said. It's hard to comprehend how much Jesus loves us and although we are His servants, He calls us friends (John 15:15) as the song expresses: Prepare yourself you know it's a must Gotta have a friend in Jesus So you know that when you die He's gonna recommend you To the spirit in the sky...

Amen brother, and we certainly don't want to turn grace into an excuse to live however we want and engage in sinful activities as Jude warned of in his epistle (v. 4). I like the verse you quoted above from Titus that describes grace as bringing salvation and teaches us to deny sin and "worldly...

I like the way you expressed this, brother. Since God's love looks outward, we do not want our actions to disrespect Him or harm others. Love and repentance go hand-in-hand. We need God to change our hearts to be filled with more of His love.

Amen. The line, "Never been a sinner, I never sinned" does not align with Christian doctrine. I suppose the closest I can come to explaining this to support the poetry from the song is how Christ takes all of our sins upon Him and through His sacrificial death, forgives them and provides grace...

Thank you homwardbound for inspiring me to look into the lyrics of "Spirit in the Sky" and see if I can make any connections between that song and Philippians. I'll start with the opening chorus: When I die and they lay me to rest Gonna go to the place that's the best When I lay me down to die...

Very well said, especially your last paragraph that hits the nail on the head. I've taken a couple of years off from my professional career to work a couple of "blue collar" positions, and I can tell you firsthand that the middle economic classes are taking a big time hit like I've never seen...

I've been listening to top Democratic leaders/strategists for months, and they have been firmly committed to Biden without any doubts. If something major happens to Biden, Harris is next in line for them (God forbid she ever becomes our president...). For them to waver after last night's debate...

Those 33% are living in denial if that's an actual figure. Biden should not have even been on that stage to suffer an embarrassing and overwhelming defeat by Trump.

Biden is finished. If last night's debate didn't make that clear, people are living in denial. It's irresponsible that he was the candidate at the beginning of the election cycle because we have all witnessed his cognitive/physical decline for months (perhaps years...). I don't see how the...

We'll see tonight. I don't know how he is going to make it through the debate, and I think Trump is going to level "Jacked-up Joe". The two biased "moderators" are not going to keep this "debate" under control either and 3 vs. 1 is normally not a fair fight. In this case, I'm betting on Trump...

I love "Spirit in the Sky", too, and here's a video of Greenbaum singing the song on his 75th b-day. He can't hit those high notes anymore...:LOL:

Hopefully, cooler heads will prevail in leadership positions under these two despots.

North Korea's unholy alliance with Putin could add a new dimension to this expanding war. He would have no problem using these NK "engineers" as cannon fodder: Putin would use North Korean troops as ‘cannon fodder,’ US claims – POLITICO

Amen. Obedience is something Paul emphasizes throughout his writing, and Philippians drives the point home as well in several areas: Philippians 2:5-8 New King James Version 5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it...
