My name is Jonathan. I just found this site this morning while researching how smoking cigarettes can affect a Christian's walk with God. It's a battle I am fighting. I look forward to being a part of this, hopefully encouraging others and being encouraged by others.
"The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the...
5/16/11: I was inspired by the passage I read for my quiet time this morning from Isaiah 5, which begins by Isaiah saying, "I will sing for the one I love a song about his vineyard..." I sensed the Lord had a song for me based off of that song, only about Jesus Christ and what he did for us, so...
I believe that sometimes or often we are guilty of taking God/Jesus Christ for granted. As well, I believe today’s church is often at fault in how they present God/Jesus when they paint God as a big doting grandfather in the sky, and/or when they paint Jesus as a weak and powerless person who...
I think that when things are going well in our lives that it is easy to sing praises to God and to thank him for all his many blessings to us. Yet, when life kicks us and knocks us down; when severe trials come our way; when we are faced with great persecution and rejection from those we love...
Hey there, if you're taking the time to read this than thank you :)
My name is Kori. I am 21 years old and I live in Daytona Beach, FL currently.
I have always been a Christian, as long as I can remember.
I was baptized twice!! Only because my stepmom wanted to insure my brother, sister and I...
4/24/2011: I was sitting in a waiting room at the hospital while my husband was having his leg examined. The TV in the room was blaring. All of a sudden the Lord Jesus began to put this tune into my mind, so I verbally recorded it on my cell phone until I could get home to record it. When I got...
From the very beginning of creation God has put within mankind the knowledge of God. God made himself known through his created works. When we look at the sun, the moon, the stars, the heavens above us, the trees, flowers, birds of the air, the sea, and man, we can see God, not that God exists...
This was the first song the Lord Jesus gave me to write. After he gave me the tune, and just one verse, I was humbled, inspired and blessed over what He had just done in me and through me by giving me this new gift. Then, later in the day, when I was busy working in the kitchen, I asked him if...
Hello, my name is Hannah.
The reason I am here is because I am looking for, well, God. Things are starting to fall apart between me and him, abd I have questions over questions!
I don't know if I believe or not anymore, and I feel lost in this world.
I have been looking for a place to talk about...
I am a student in a public high school and one of the things I have noticed is how taboo it is to bring up religion and God to others. So my question to you is how do you bring up God with friends and are there any specific experiences you have had in your walk with sharing the gospel? I have...
Its not their fault
Its not yours
If anything its Mine
I had a reason to bring you here
and its to tell you youre my child
and im never letting go
All the pain you felt I felt too
but I had to bring you here
to be by My side
I know youre angry and sad and torn
from now on you have someone to...
Sorry, I'm not sure if I put this in the right place :/
As the title says, I really struggle when I look at all the pain in the world. It makes me feel terrible a lot of the time when I read/see news stories talking about horrific things, particularly murder. Most recently, I get this terrible...
"And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them." — Luke 2:20
What was the subject of their praise? They praised God for what they had heard-for the good tidings of great joy that a Saviour was born unto them...
"I will help thee, saith the Lord." — Isaiah 41:14
This morning let us hear the Lord Jesus speak to each one of us: "I will help thee." "It is but a small thing for Me, thy God, to help thee. Consider what I have done already. What! not help thee? Why, I bought thee with My blood. What! not...
"The iron did swim." — 2 Kings 6:6
The axe-head seemed hopelessly lost, and as it was borrowed, the honour of the prophetic band was likely to be imperilled, and so the name of their God to be compromised. Contrary to all expectation, the iron was made to mount from the depth of the stream and...
"In my flesh shall I see God." — Job 19:26
Mark the subject of Job's devout anticipation "I shall see God." He does not say, "I shall see the saints"-though doubtless that will be untold felicity-but, "I shall see God." It is not-"I shall see the pearly gates, I shall behold the walls of...
"I will be their God." — Jeremiah 31:33
Christian! here is all thou canst require. To make thee happy thou wantest something that shall satisfy thee; and is not this enough? If thou canst pour this promise into thy cup, wilt thou not say, with David, "My cup runneth over; I have more than heart...
Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on...
Howdy friends,
This is a debate that many skeptics and believers have gone through back and forth. I've heard agnostic opposition challenge that Jesus never really claimed to be divine and that this was an ideology put in place by 1st century Christians or even through the ideology of...
