    Can You Determine the Will of God for Specific Events in Your Life?

    Excellent points. Some do say they hear the trivial. Perhaps so, sometimes God may just want to fellowship with you, give someone the assurance of something small to build their faith for something later, or just to love on them. I admit too that the main path to hearing God is to let the word...

    Can You Determine the Will of God for Specific Events in Your Life?

    Absolutely God can give very specific guidance. For me a big area is geography. He tells me what city and country. Over the years, He has done this in many different ways. In some cases God also may give guidance to a specific employment opportunity. Life with God does not have to be random...

    What God did in the end to Job

    Just look at David's trials and also his victories. Here is his answer which to many applies today as well. PSALM 34:17 The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears; He delivers them from all their troubles. 18The LORD is near to the brokenhearted; He saves the contrite in spirit. 19Many are...

    Do you agree with the President on border enforcement and illegal aliens?

    Here are more and probably some others that are not reported. International Students Status Revoked Over 950: What You Need to Know I think the bigger problem is with the new wannabe students. Some are just giving up on visas altogether. Every time a visa holder arrives in the USA, even if they...

    What do all Christian denominations agree with?

    Yes, thanks for that distinguishment and explanation.

    Do you agree with the President on border enforcement and illegal aliens?

    I agree with some things but disagree with even more. The negatives: Political grandstanding and showmanship in border issues Abuse of the legal system for deportations Use of putting prisoners in El Salvador Highly publicized raids on businesses. (Low key seems far better to me) The likely...

    What do all Christian denominations agree with?

    Google AI lists this for "church denominations that allow for some error in the bible." Not all denominations are strict so in those cases it rests on what the pastor himself believes. "Denominations that may allow for some error: Mainline Protestant: Many within these traditions acknowledge...

    When your political leanings literally get you killed.

    While it might be good to be principled on the use of money, when funds from the Federal Government are allotted, the default position should be to take them. Why? Because you paid into the system. Of course if there is no benefit then sure it seems ok to refuse but this was not the case and so...

    Prayer Request: Workplace Struggles and Need for Justice

    Both I and a close brother in Christ had a hostile work environment. While we wanted to defend ourselves, it basically seemed like the best course of action was to turn it over to God. So let go let God. Of course cases can be different but doing something on our own can sometimes delay God from...

    Canada will face a 35% tariff. Retaliatory Tariffs will be added to the 35%

    Sorry i do not see how tariffs are related to Fentanyl. I guess they are just a punishment and so we now have a trade war. Canada will tolerate this for a time, then they will raise tariffs too if no better agreement is reached. Trump getting involved in Canada likely cost the conservatives in...

    Pastor, father of 5 deported to Guatemala after 2 decades in Florida

    I too admit it is still possible to get a U.S. visa and citizenship. However, that is harder now than at most previous times. Some though are locked out like this pastor. He had temporary status and Congress never paved the way to make it possible for him since he was illegal twice and likely...

    Pastor, father of 5 deported to Guatemala after 2 decades in Florida

    Actually I have known only a few that have gotten citizenship. Just last week though my retired Navy friend, returning to the USA with his foreign wife, was berated by US immigration for having left the USA. This pattern has repeated for them enough that they no longer are pursuing US permanent...

    Am I a false Christian or a "victim" of Satan?

    Hopefully others can answer more too. God wants to bless us and though he gives various seasons in our life, to me it would seem that he does sometimes give us things to help in our lives. I may really like a hobby, but is it an idol? That seems a stretch unless it is something sinful or really...

    Johnson Amendment Dead: IRS says church leaders can endorse candidates to their flock without risking tax-exempt status. Other 501c3's still can't.

    So some preachers will try to become more political. But are they knowledgeable? Are they going to shift time from focusing on Jesus to political things? Will churches cease to be a refuge for the lost and now a target for the opposition? Dissension and partisanship will rise as will hate and...
