Do you worship that apple? Do you honor it with your works and your prayers? Do you seek to glorify that fruit above all else in your life? Is there nothing higher than that apple? Do you seek only to the will of that apple? If not it is probably just fondness. At least I think so!

This is so sad...and so frightening.

Two family members taking these drugs. They were both heathy, beautiful, early middle aged women. They have both lost weight but now look terrible. Sadly, they both don't appear able to see anything but their slender bodies. They are blind to what is actually happening. I fear what is...

In the First Testament when Moses lead God's people out of Egypt, many non-believers followed along. They were not allowed to enter the camp of the Jews and not considered members of the community until they had accepted all the laws and decrees God gave to his people on Mt. Sinai. For males...

One of the best ever posted here! Thank you.

My Mom taught this to me, it has served me well: "Some times you just have to strap on the ol' tin beak and go peck with the chickens." Being humble has gotten me through several crises.

Ehud was a liar and a murderer; Barak was a coward. Gideon was a weak willed doubter; Abimelech was a gangster who murdered his own brothers for power. Jephthah was the scorned son of a prostitute, he was a mercenary and so impulsive that he made a sacrifice of his only daughter. Ibzan...

I respect you and your comments.

I don't think The Bible is a history book. It wasn't written for bygone generations but was written for us to guide our lives. The Judges in Israel saved lives and fortunes from evil, but more importantly lead the people to atonement and repentance.

America is a covenant nation, founded on the providence of God. Now hear, God has again raised from the ranks of common men, a Judge. A Judge to release his people from the bondage and abuse of ungodly men. Just as He did in ages past. Not an Angel nor a Saint, certainly not a Holy Man, but...

I agree discussions are difficult on a forum, they turn downward very quickly. Sadly, only the first few posts are topical and have value. But that said, as I grow increasingly more isolated, those few brief discussions take on greater value and significance. I do find nuggets of truth here...

I share your feelings of deep frustration. As these days get closer to the end and more and more bizarre, I find myself now just refusing to listen. I shut off the media, ignore (at peril) everything what is said by government, and fully reject messages from those religious figures who try to...

No Brother, it's not just you!

You are correct, this is not an all or nothing scenario. Assuming that the 90% is truly spent on the necessities of life (it's usually not), I would suggest the ratio is save 18 cents and give at least 2 cents.

You wrote to my own feelings of "rough-hewn" kindness and the prayer "But oh, how He cares nonetheless. Great work!

In days ago, when God’s people strayed, And death itself walked through His land; He rose from the rank’s men, and a woman, And used them to save His own. Neither Priest, nor Prophet; not Angel or Saint, Have been used to answer this call. All fully human with no talent save one, Willingness to...

In biblical times the word love was not just an emotion. That is a Greek concept, not Hebrew. The word Love also holds a strong connotation of action. To "Love our neighbor..." was much more than to just holding him in fondness, it means doing and caring and helping and supporting, even...

Make all the plans you want, but God may have other ideas and your likes/dislikes don't count. I'm not the first to learn this lesson. Prepared to glorify Him in everything.

You are asking why bad things happen to good people. That is fundamental to faith and a topic very deep and difficult. I will say none of the examples you give are the result of God's wrath.
