Even masturbation, which everybody is all quiet on, because doctors and the internet and scientists and even a lot of christians will say there's nothing wrong with. You know, my grandma said it'd give you eye problems, but I betcha she didn't have a christian perspective on it...

Current Mood: … & Huh? & Sweatdrop & Thankful

A guest-speaker in our church touched my heart while I was wandering…

In the way we sometimes do when we christians, at least the ones that have felt and accepted the holy spirit, don’t feel like being deep into churchthings and when we get distracted. It’s called backsliding among us Jesus-freaks, and happens to everyone who either says they are or pretends to be a Christian.

I say pretend, because really, it’s easy to be drawn into a warm and loving community, but not really to get absorbed into the…

Current Mood: Awesome! & Huh? & Idea! & Laughing

Or: Don’t show your danglies or butt when praying to God! You’ll moon your freinds!

Hahaha!

Exodus chapter twenty is the chapter where God was speaking to the Israelites about the ten commandments, and laying down the laws that would protect, preserve their nation, and set priorities that both honored Him and the gifts he’d given them.

So I googled it, and came up with this forum page.

Go ahead…

… When we need answers to prayer.

A post from an online christian forum for a woman who needs a believing, loving husband. I was inspired to try and tell the story about my father’s prayers and answers to prayer for the very same thing, and much of my earlier personal story came out in the writing. It’s geared towards people in great need for answers to prayer and for love and fellowship. Encouragement, always… ~<3
Dear Brokenhearted,

Let me share with you my dad’s story, which I think will be a bit of comfort for you. <:3

My dad grew up in a classically blue-collar family where his parents…

Psalm 23 – Personal study and notes

To fear God... he is absolute authority, power, creator, father, sacrifice -- the missing part to a life that feels empty, hopeless, miserable, frustrated, angry, depressed, stressed. He is the reason we don't live with real love in our lives every day, and why we struggle so hard to feel good about ourselves. Fearing God is knowing more and more of just who and what he is.

The righteousness of God – is he Just in an unJust world?

I have become the righteousness of God in Christ.
“He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” 2 Corinthians 5:21

I was really feeling the need to induldge myself in the word this morning – I was feeling down because of hearing about all the relationsahip problems our freind Eric has with his girlfreind and her sons, and my insulin pup was unattached during the night.

So I did a search on Google on ‘the beauty of God’. looking for some study material that would carry my mind to better subjects. I…
