Take the night off to sing praises to the Lord, read His words, and just relax in His presence.

Hi unknown warrior - I am approaching this from the context of confession in prayer - In this case do we still confess our sins in prayer, or is it that we should only shy away from condemning ourselves as sinners in prayer?

Interestingly the bible does not say something around the lines of "if your faith is strong you will not feel unwanted sexual arousal".

Instead the bible gives us these verses:
1 Corinthians 6:18
Genesis 39:12 (story of Joseph and Potiphar's wife)

And also the following verse - indicating He will provide us with a way of escape and resist temptation, but never to not feel temptation itself.
1 Corinthians 10:13


I guess I also fall under the old uncle category. Haha.

What UW said this morning reminded me of this song.
Hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did.

Any pictures?

Would be better if you upload them to a hosting website (I use imgur), copy the JPG links and wrap them in IMG tags.

Or just upload it to imgur and share the album with us?

Maybe your next writeup could touch upon the sovereignity of God and worldly tragedies...

Nice!

I think the answer you are seeking may lie in John 6:25 onwards.

God has given us grace for us to freely respond to. By His sovereignty He has determined who will seek this salvation. We choose to respond to God's calling because He had first reached out to us that we will be sent to Christ, hence our response of acceptance by itself is bestowed upon God's grace. From a human perspective it is "We choose to accept Jesus", but from the eyes of God it is "You were chosen by Me!"

If God can provide us with the appropriate response to His calling, He will also provide us with the Holy Spirit for repentance.

Had been doing a bit of a read up recently about Human Responsibility in line with God's Sovereignty. Understanding this is still out of this world for me, but hopefully I'll be there one day. Maybe... unknown warrior?

Amen.

With all the talks between denominations, arguments about doctrines, churches against other churches, I could only marvel at the mercy and grace of God, that He made very clearly the only condition to salvation is as depicted in John 14:6.

Group hug?

Hah. Pastor Ronnie Chin is in that video!

The only knee jerk reaction is from you. Posting single liners with links and not being specific with what you're trying to say is irritating and gets in the way of the materials being posted on this thread.

If you have an argument, learn how to argue it. Not post links and ask someone else to prove themselves wrong/right and in turn complement what you think is right/wrong.

Which part of Netherlands if I may ask?

Just to share - I was for a few weeks over at the Hillsong Church in Amsterdam; Was truly humbled with how God works to expand and grow them - being in a very permissive environment they still reached out and grew quite well. They don't actually have a building of their own at the moment, and as such they rent a nightclub for their weekly services.

Caleb and Joshua crossed the Jordan river. If you have three sons.......

Nah you're fine. Take it easy.

If you have three sons, you could name them Caleb, Joshua and Jordan!

tinarhian - daylight savings! I had one extra hour of sleep! Lol
