The theory is simple. The practice is complicated.
Do not seek wealth, do not love wealth. Seek God, love God. The later does not imply you cannot be wealthy. Success is essential to glorify God. But your foremost objection is to love God and radia…
You are not in his shoes. He may see a may bigger picture than you do and if you were to see with the same eyes then possibly your opinion would differ. You are entitled to your opinion, and I respect and understand your frustration. I am sure he do…
Pray first. Then go tell him all that. Him knowing that background will help him ease you to talk. I am sure your Father of confession wants nothing but the best for you and your relationship with the Lord. Sometimes if talking is too difficult for …
Having books are found in many churches. Ive attended Armenian Orthodox practice, Catholic Practice and other orthodox churches and all at least had books. The aid of a book, in my opinion, is equivalent to that of a projector (if it does not hide i…
Forgive me, but does it matter whether he be a Protestant, non-denominational or any other? From the following passage I believe to understand that we simply need to understand the person in front of us and his beliefs. St. Paul became the person in…

Miss u too!
Understood and mostly agreed :) I guess in some sense it would be part of the rebuke. Since if we look at the definition of rebuking, my beloved google says: "an expression of sharp disapproval or criticism."In any case, the reason I li…
Ray, I must disagree with you on this one. Although I may be mistaken, but this has always been my understanding that accusations are not acceptable. Let me share my thoughts.
There is one judge, and only one judge, and that is Christ. Only He can …
Well put.
" If I took a survey of 100 people singing Shepherd of my soul, I would be hard pressed to find 1 person who understands the song in a corporate struggle or as a reflection of God and His Church. The use of emotional triggers excludes any…
Thank you Remnkemi, I appreciate your response.
I completely agree with your statement. I simply wish to argue simply to further my understanding. If you read some of my previous posts, you will see that I completely agree, especially when it comes …

Also, is there a quoting system like smf?
The latest discussion on the home page also says the title of the thread and the initial poster whereas before, if I am not mistaken, it was the title and the name of the most recent replier of that thread.…
Who says that all prayers are not answered ? We could just as much say I was just to stubborn to listen. How many times does a question like this pass through our heads: 'if this was His answer, it doesn't satisfy me'? Couldn't we be sometimes to cl…
