Three does indeed equal One! Thank you, @LatterRain , for a beautifully simple explanation! Only because of the unified, integrated workings of the Trinity can we “Give unto the LORD the glory due to His name; Worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.” (Psalm 29:2)

Hebrews 6:10-12 NKJV For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister. And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end, that you do...

People in the world, with a variety of evil motivations, often want to hurt us. So do we need to tiptoe around these people, appease them, and live in fear of them? Remember the words of Joseph to his brothers. He knew that God was in control—not him, and certainly not them. He was...

Isaiah 55:10-11 NKJV “For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, And do not return there, But water the earth, And make it bring forth and bud, That it may give seed to the sower And bread to the eater, So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me...

The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him; though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand. Psalm 37:23-24

Because, just as we obey our earthly parents in the Lord, we obey our Father…. Because He says so. :)

Master, the tempest is raging now, but we trust in You! And soon we will be singing,… Master, the terror is over. The elements sweetly rest. Earth’s sun in the calm lake is mirrored, And heaven’s within my breast. Linger, O blessed Redeemer! Leave me alone no more, And with joy I shall make...

Lol… oops! Well…. How about a little butterfly? :)

@farouk, you are quite right that the church had not been established in the days of Amos, the prophet; but the message of the book is definitely applicable to us today. God chose Amos to prophesy to His people who, in spite of their prosperity, were an ungrateful people who lacked love one...

@Wynona, I’m so glad you had a good day! My day started out great, too, with a little Bible study and a walk. On my walk, I met a new neighbor with two HUGE bulldogs, one of which thought my legs and shoes were worthy of a good sniff. His big nose felt like the soft side of Velcro, lol...

We boldly stand on the promises of God; we even remind Him of them in our prayers. We trust in Him completely and call on Him at the first sign of fear or distress. We keep ourselves armed against the fiery darts of the enemy by studying His Word. We take His advice for daily living, walk...

Hi, @Truman the Levite …. You pose a very interesting question. Many of those baptized in the days of the early church were receiving mixed messages. In Acts 8, many of the believers had been under the influence of Simon, a sorcerer, who was able to perform “magic,” and they thought he...

Hi, @soul man, the 8th chapter of Amos is a good picture of what we see happening today. Watered down messages from weak pastors, corrupt translations and paraphrases of the Bible, and idols everywhere “swallow up the needy” (v.4). Those familiar with prophecies about the end of this age are...

Amen! For example…. 2 Corinthians 5:21: “God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.” :)

Thanks for the welcome, @farouk… :) It’s great to be here; I’ve been blessed already!

Thanks! I’m so happy to meet you, @thelord's_pearl! :)

Thanks for your reply, @MatthewG…. That suffering is part of the Christian walk doesn’t have to be taught in churches. There’s enough suffering in this world to touch us all. But mature Christians should be well-equipped to handle tough times—and we should be living examples for those younger...

Hi, MatthewG…. I confess that I haven’t read this entire thread… yet. So forgive me if I am just repeating what others have said. To me, being a Christian is all about being blessed far above anything I have ever hoped for or deserved. How can I not be totally delighted in having a...
