I See your point and I agree we shouldnt be in such a state all the time or even to worry over it. But Faith doesnt take the pain just the strain. And I wont let it consume me nor will I allow myself to be harmed by it.
I understand the whole thing about one parent not being saved my father is also among those who do not believe, yet he knows the Bible more than most will ever dream of knowing it. Though I am really kind of indiferent towards him I still love him and wish him the best and I even try to help him in this matter he just keeps saying things like "I got inside the Bible and found what I believe, now you do the same." So I am there with oyu on that matter.

I know hes got it under control but that doesnt stop the pain.

Lord heal your servant now,and as always I thank you for what you have done.

I am tired, not physically. I need God in a new way tonight.Someone I thought was headed for an amazing, and just like that he just kinda fell from what I thought he was. Maybe I just kinda thought he was growing in Christ really fast. I was so wrong. I feel defeated. Beatdown. Thats the first time since I have been a Chrstian that I feel inadequate. Its not that I dont trust God with it, I do. He just wants nothing more than to be him. He thinks that I think going from door to door telling people about God is amazing. I dont, I think it is a step in the right direction bt only when it is neccesary. Maybe right now a sreet corner is where we need to be.

 He doesnt want more, and that scares me.

"Be still and know that I am God" Thats what he said and it is good advice think on him it will take you places. Like ream land.

ooo can I answer the question?

The Chicken came first.
Now as to why- When God created Adam and Eve he created them in the prime of their life. When he created Earth he created it in the prime of its life. And through these I see a pattern ( there are more but it is late and I am too tired to find them). God created all things in their prime, so the Chicken came first in the prime of its life.

Ashlee, I love to listen to the music that was made for God. That is something I could not live without it keeps me sane. It also grounds me to God. I think that if Christian rap is what you need to lift God up then by all means listen, but the moment your music makes a brother or sister trip up in their walk you had best stop. As with me my radios only play Christian or nothing.
Funny story the secular CD's that go in to my radio never play for some reason. I just think thats funny. But I know that some perfer not to listen to hymns I am one of them. But at the same time you cannot hurt someones walk to further yours. The bible speaks of this and it says that non who follow Christ will cause another in Christ to sumble. I am trying to find the verse, when I do I will put it on here.

God is on your side Orion remember that. I am praying for her to be healed. I also pray for you. Just remember that all things work for th good of thos who believe in Jesus Christ.

Why cant it be both? tsu05 as Christian we are called to stand apart. To do otherwise is a sin and nothing else. I hate being all fire and brimstone, but the truth is if you conform you are doing nothing other than that. To conform means to give away a peice of yourself in Christ.

I agree when people see what we have they will desire it. But it is like you never read my question. Is it conforming, in other words is it making you like them, or is it drawing them to you as a follower and reflection of God?

I just want to phrase it this way. Is it conforming or just another tool to bring people in for Christ? God said to go into all nations that includes the nation of the rap listeners.  So listen to it if your heart desires listen to it if God says you can handle it.

Man, it is going great. I forgot I even put this here.

I love my job, and even better I can see God working in my co-workers. One of them found a pen that I dropped. This pen every time you clicked went through a step of salvation. I had never been able to use the pen for what I had gotten it for- to lead someone to Christ- Well when I saw him playing and making fun of my pen with one of my bosses  I said "hey you found my pen" I now pretty obvious. But he was like your one of those Jesus Freaks arent you?" I said I was. Then he and my Boss felt very bad. and later apologized, and if you know these 2 you know that was God and God alone.

OK now I am thouroghly confused. If God didn't break his promise then why would we not be able to trust God?

I read all of these posts, And I cannot see how God has broken his promise. Maybe its me, but I don't know. PLease fill me in on how he broke his promise.  

I didnt know where else to put this, so here it is....

This site has some of the coolest little clips some are a little longer but they are all pretty good, I recomend listening to Psalm 101:3, one thing you lack, are you ready, let your keys remind the devil, and God is moving (it the last one). I can't stop listening to them. There are so many and I have only listened to a few. It just sets me on fire all over again to here what God is doing in this world all around me. I can't wait to see what he does with me.
