How does one become the Salt of the Earth? Am I guaranteed to be so if I become a monk?
I have been in spiritual trials that no man could ever help me but God alone
Amen
Please remember me in your prayers as I wander as a blind man forgetting what Jesus has done for me and that I be prepared as the 5 wise virgins and not be ashamed before Him at His coming
Thankyou for praying for my Grandad. I wish you would…
Thanks brother I can see your word was powerful but I have to know you are not trying to harm my life and you are considerate of how frail I am so I am not being controlled by a tyrant God who demands a rare and an unreasonable amount of zeal to ent…

So are you judging me that I will perish or I will be damned you know it is God's will that I do not get married?

We don't need to be successful but to try to be and this will continue in the world to come and we must be obedient
until the Lord calls us all to His table to enjoy His company and each other to rest from time to time
If riches cause us to commit sexual immorality or make us sneer at our enemies
And cause us to be greedy not sharing when we can and not letting others borrow when we can and not spend time with people when they really need us like when someone is …
Thanks buddy

We must work all the time until Our Lord says we can rest

Your searching and Ioannes and others gives me hope that some who were lost are capable of being found by having remorse in this life
So many people don't care anything about God or the pearls of the kingdom
Yes like mabsoota who is my mabsoota

Seek and you shall find knock and the door will be opened to you

Jesus came that we may have abundant life here or at least in the age to come
Jesus said seek first the kingdom of God and all these things will be added to you for God knows you need these things which proves God wants us to be happy
From the post…
Sorry to be insulting but if you think it is evil to have worldly things then God willing when we go to heaven I say you can forget about having any riches in heaven also

All things work together for good for those who love God

Yes we are but we can still hope for the salvation of all our loved ones because love hopes all things
So if someone wants me to leave the love I have for those I know then let them know it is futile and not God's will
