Re: Question: do you people ever expercience joy?

I feel exalted in the love of Jesus Christ all the time.

It is better than mere 'joy'.

Re: Question: do you people ever expercience joy?

Joy fills my heart whenever I sing out praises to Jesus. When prayers are answered and some troubled soul turns to the Lord, I get so giddy that I often pass out.



Joyously Yours,

Handmaiden

I have a question. I read so much hate on this forum that it makes me wonder if you people ever have fun. Do you? Or are you always busy worrying about everything away that is not normal in your eyes?

Of course we feel joy. We feel the GREATEST of joys - that which only accepting Jesus Christ into your heart can bring. Surely even unbelievers have read Psalm 23:1-6.

"Fun" is another matter, because to me that word reeks of sloth. If you're not doing the work of the Lord, then you'll have plenty of time regretting all that "fun" you had, in hell. "Fun" is the road to damnation.

Are you sure you're not confusing hate with the love for Our Lord?

"Worry" is another word that you seem to have twisted. Let's say you stumble into traffic. Shouldn't you worry? Let's say that your grades are not good enough to get into college. Shouldn't you be worried? If you didn't worry, you'd end up living in the streets with other sinners.
The same goes for the mortal soul. With society crumbling into sin and depravity around us, and technology opening up even more roads to hell, one must be vigilant if one is to keep ones soul clean and virtuous for the Lord.

Of True Christian's have fun. Our fun is not like you atheist's for your own pleasure, but is done in keeping with the Lord.

Colossians 3:17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

Job 8
20 Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, neither will he help the evil doers:
21 Till he fill thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with rejoicing.

You should see my face just light up at the thought of all those sinners burning in hell (and here's the best part ) FOREVER!!

Re: Question: do you people ever expercience joy?

I have a question. I read so much hate on this forum that it makes me wonder if you people ever have fun. Do you? Or are you always busy worrying about everything away that is not normal in your eyes?

I continually feel the Joy of Jesus' Love.

I have fun by serving the Lord, which is our entire purpose in life. That's why God created humans.

I have never worried that something was "not normal in my eyes". Well, except that time I had a migraine that lasted three days, and had double vision for a couple of weeks. That was something definitely not normal in my eyes. I even had to ask members of my congregation to read me Scripture because I could not!

But I prayed, and over about 14-16 days God healed the minor damage done to my 4th cranial nerve by the opthalmoplegic migraine, and my eye straightened out. Glory!

He also directed me to a doctor who warned me that migraines could actually cause permanent nerve damage or trigger strokes, and made sure that I take preventive measures. And you think He doesn't work in mysterious ways!

Oops, off topic a bit there.

Nobody here really cares -- for our own pleasure or displeasure -- what sins you might commit, as long as you don't harm others in the process. What we do care about is the fate of your immortal soul. We want you to know not what we like or hate, but what God likes or hates.

When you do things that God hates, He sends you to Hell. Do you want to go to Hell, friend? Would it be loving or hateful to warn you?

Would it be loving or hateful NOT to warn you?

Imagine you are babysitting a neighbor's 3-year-old. You're making fudge on the stove. If you've ever made fudge -- I've watched women from my congregation do it -- you know that you have to cook it slowly to a high temperature, well above boiling, and it's thick and gooey. If you spill it on yourself, it will stick and cause terrible burns.

Now, imagine the child wanders over and tries to grab the handle of the pan. Is it the loving thing to do to stand back and watch, because it is what the child wants to do? Or is the loving thing to yell, "NO!" and snatch the child away, then explain why you did that, even if it makes the child cry?

Re: Question: do you people ever expercience joy?

I feel joy when i study the holy bible. Or when i pray to Jesus
But the life is not that easy all the time. Too many sinners are out there, which need help. And the world is getting more and more godless. After all, when Jesus comes back then its time for joy all the time

[BelieverInGod]

Re: Question: do you people ever expercience joy?

Joy? All the time!

I feel so joyful when I feed my men. To see them relaxing after dinner while I clean up brings me utmost joy.

I felt joy when my sons were born, when they learned to walk, and through their constant developments.

I feel joy when a litter of puppies is born.

I feel joy when one of my dogs gains a new title.

There's lots of joy in life. Just because we don't live in the gutter rolling in our sin does not mean that we don't enjoy life.

I have a question. I read so much hate on this forum

What have you read that is hateful?

We zealously preach the Word as we are called to by the Apostle Paul in 2 Tim. 4:2.
Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.

that it makes me wonder if you people ever have fun. Do you? Or are you always busy worrying about everything away that is not normal in your eyes?

We have more fun than you might think. Between celebrating all the births of new Soldiers for Christ, converting the unsaved, lobbying politicians to enact policies we know God cares about, we have great joy.

Friend, we have to worry about Muslim terrorists breaking down the gates of Freehold and dragging us off to a FEMA death panels all because we are good Christians. Does that sound like we have time for "fun"? We're in survival mode here in the face of incredible persecution. We exist day to day. Fun has nothing to do with it.
