[Eph 4:29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. Eph 4:31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: Eph 4:32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.]

Amen Shylynne,

If my brother or sister have need of bread may I offer them meat also.

If they are cold may I give them warmth.

If they are weary may I give them a shoulder to rest on.

If they have a thorn in their eye may I first remember the log in mine.

Eph 4:29  Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

Eph 4:31  Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
Eph 4:32  And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

Amen, Ollie. Thank you.

All praise and glory to God!

My prayers are for the safety of all the soldiers and sailors serving us and our country. May God guide them and protect them.

The third verse says "that I never knew you. If this were talking about someone that had "lost" their salvation would it not say "I no longer know you" or "I once knew you"?
 
I believe that this is speaking of individuals that are giving mouth service and not heart service. By this I mean that they are professing Jesus Christ as their Saviour but never actually accepted Him as Saviour.

Their are individuals that will go through the acts of Christianity for the appearance to other men, appearing to cast out demons in His name when they have not actually done so, to prophesy in His name when they are actually giving false prophesies.

If we go a little further back to verse 15 we see that false prophets is the subject being spoken on.

Mat 7:15  Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.


Mat 24:24  For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

Unfortunally I can no longer fast, I have been warned that, if I do I may end up in a coma again or die. My only question is, how does God feel about this. I know I feel bad, I can't fast anymore.

You are not alone here DW. I cannot fast either without passing out and being hospitalized for it. I do believe the Lord understands this and blesses us still. He does not expect more from us than He meets out to us to do.

Skinny people irritate me! Especially when

      they say things like, "You know, sometimes I just

      forget to eat." Now I've forgotten my address,

      my mother's maiden name, and my keys. But I've

      never forgotten to eat. You have to be

      a special kind of stupid to forget to eat.

That sounds like me.  

I haven't seen this thread until today. It contains some very wonderful and true statements. The love and unity of the Church.

Amen, sister.

I welcome you also, Bogie. I hope that you can find the answers that you are looking for. There are many here that will gladly help you all they can.

Brother DW, I agree with Patzt. You and your posts will be sorely missed. It is too bad that as Christians that some cannot put aside petty differences and get along with their brothers instead of persecuting them.

I hope that you see it in your heart to stay.

Our Heavenly Father gives us blessings every
day, so many in fact, we often take them for
granted, but when we are down to our last bite and
our hearth is cold we find miraculous blessings from
God. Don't despair at meagerness in your life. God
is there. Believe in miracles! Ask God.

Amen.

With love.

Wouldn't it be great to eat what bugs ya?

Not if it's a bug!  

Bills LOL.  Just shoot the mail man.

Not when he brings the paycheck, too.

Patzt,

Your music posts have been a blessing. I have many favorites, Old Time Gospel, Southern Gospel Quartets.....  
The ones I miss the most are the ones my Grandmother used to sing. She was a lady from the Appalachian Mountains and used to sing in the old Appalachian folk style, from the heart.
There were many songs and I can't seem to remember a single one of them anymore.  

God bless you.

Our meal here is a duplicate of Thanksgiving:

Turkey
Ham
Mashed white potatoes
Candied Yams
Broccoli
Green Bean Casserole
Dinner rolls
Pies (Apple, Cherry, Pecan and Pumpkin)

I enjoy it all and am very thankful for it but my favorite is the food I receive from the Word of God.
