Not sure where to start...

Re: Not sure where to start...

Welcome to God's chosen forum.
PS - you refer to Illinois as "godless" but God is omnipotent.
He is EVERYWHERE even in Obama State!

Well there sure does seem to be a lot of people who don't want God here. It just grates on me when I hear on the news that the state legislature here is trying to pass a bill making marriage legal between lesbians and queers. I am aware of God's omnipotence and pray continually for a targeted "natural" catastrophe to hit Springfield where so many evil plots are being hatched in defiance of God's plan for us. It pains me to be reminded that B. Hussein Obama ever was associated with this state, but this state has become famous, if for nothing else, for corruption among its elected officials. Two consecutive governors now sit in prison, but probably won't be required to serve complete sentences.

Re: Not sure where to start...

Indeed, I am married. We've raised six children (four of whom are alive to us). We've been legally married for many years, but are planning to have our pastor marry us properly in the eyes of God this summer. All four of our kids, although they are all on their own now, remain close and devoted to Jesus. Unfortunately, two of our offspring have gone astray. We failed somewhere along the way and pray constantly for forgiveness for our failures. Our oldest so-called daughter has chosen to be a lesbian, has been with the same woman for almost three years. Now we hear she and her "friend" are engaged. And with Illinois now on the verge of slapping God in the face with legalization of lesbians becoming each other's next of kin, we are distraught. Another daughter also chose to perish in hell with a woman who's lived with her for over ten years. She is also dead to us. The other four kids are wonderful, though. Two are daughters who've found husbands, two are sons who are serving in the armed forces, but who had the good sense to marry and have children first. We now have four grandchildren and soon a fifth if an adoption can ever be finalized. I am so very sorry for having failed to fully read the instructions at the top of the page before my introductory post. It was a careless oversight on my part and I will continue to strive to comply with all rules going forward. Be accept my apology.

Re: Not sure where to start...

I believe I was guided to this forum by the Holy Spirit and the grace of God. I am here to learn and to deepen my knowledge of the Bible. In time, I hope to be able to help those who doubt to entrust themselves to Jesus' hands. After perusing this forum for some time, I have seen plenty of evidence that there are many who seek the truth, but who perhaps are unwilling to accept what that truth encompasses in their day-to-day lives. With your guidance, I pray I will become as proficient at revealing the truth as you who dedicate yourselves to this ministry.

Hi, there, welcome to our Godly forums.
Always remember to read instructions at the top, next time, but no worries.
Are you married yet? Have any kids?

Re: Not sure where to start...

Oops, I forgot to mention a few things. I am a member of the Berean Baptist Church here in the godless state of Illinois. My favorite Bible verse will always be Matthew 5:18-19 because it makes clear that the entire Bible is as God intended it to be, not as some "cafeteria Christians" would have it. I was reborn in the blood of Jesus late last year after having spent many years hoodwinked by the doctrines of Catholicism, thanks to Pastor Mark Swanson who I happened to meet by accident in a hospital waiting room. That conversation changed my life and saved my soul. I type this as best I can as my vision is blurred by my tears.

Dear not-sure-where-to start: My dad always said to check to see if it's plugged in, first. If that doesn't work, read the instructions. I would start there.

Re: Not sure where to start...

Well hello, and welcome to our friendly forums! If you aren't sure where to start, may I humbly suggest reading the Holy Bible! In it, you'll find God's Plan for Your Life!

If you have read it, I would suggest starting again! You can never read it too many times! Also, you might want to look around our enormously inspired and helpful Bible Study Fora. You'll find all kinds of wonderful Biblical truths to explore and commit to memory!

So tell us, what is your favorite Bible verse? Which one sets your soul aflame for the Love of the LORD?
