JB !!!!!

Good to see you here.

Just a thought.

Look just above your post at Britty's post.


Good stuff, brother!

wouldee,
For me that just shows how awesome God is. I went to post what I just did, and saw what Britty had posted. Others out there are thinking along similar lines. I have to believe there is someone out there for me. However I am not sure my going seeking is right. I will keep searching the scriptures.

That has to be a difficult personal question for every Christian who earnestly wants to do God's will.

My husband died, however I feel confident that there are sometimes unavoidable reasons for divorce and although God does not like divorce his mercy is greater than the law.

That being said:

Paul letter to the Galatians points out that legalism is anything that causes us to think that we must do certain things put ourselves in a right relationship with God. We do not have to be bound by that type of thinking; Christ makes us right with God. (Gal. 5:1).

Many of us suffer the weight of guilt and shame over past sin. As a result we attempt to live perfect lives. When things go bad we scramble to discover the sin in our lives that caused God to withhold blessing. This is bondage.

We need to strive to be godly (God-honoring), but godliness isn't the elimination of sin in our lives; godliness is how we deal with the sin in our lives.

Biblical reasons for divorce:

Adultery: Matt 19:9 -

Abandonment: 1 Cor 7:15 - to me that does not just mean a spouse that physically leaves the home.

I believe if one spouse is Christian and as acted as an unbeliever; in that they have broken their covenant with their spouse that is abandonment, and if reconciliation is not therefore possible, the other party is free to remarry.

If the spouse left without a biblical reason the other spouse is free to remarry

If the spouse has died you are free to remarry
==================================

Romans 8:35-39 reminds us that nothing can separate us from the love of God.

oh britty, thank you so much for the post. it was just what i needed to read. i have never been married. (in my family i am the old maid. lol) i have always felt that God is preparing my future husband for me and me for him and that when we are both ready we will meet. i even pray for my "husband". i got chills when i read your post. thank you again.

Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.

ps 37.4

Winnie, I am glad that verse was comforting.

God knows our needs and He is more than able to supply them.

i know, britty. sometimes His time is just a little hard to wait for!

True Winnie, but He saves the good wine till last.

well, i wont be on tomorrow. my son has to have a sleep study test done. please say a prayer that all goes well.

JB,

The forums are an excellent spot to chat with others here.

you never know who your new friends may be until you meet them.

It is the beginning of a new day, a day the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it.
Lord, Thank You for this day. Thank You for the technology to be able to communicate. I ask that You speak through me, that Your will be done. Thank You for the others, for the ones willing to listen and respond.
We are all set in place for a task. That to me is a given. I was never made to be a painter. But painting seems to be what I am asked to do these days. I paint in order to be able to keep going. Lord, I ask that You enable me to place the paint where You would have it. I ask to be able to do a job of painting that will bring glory to You. Let me be able to endure the aches and pains. I ask, Lord, that You use this old and aching body of mine to do Your will. I ask that You show me what You would have me do, who You would have me speak to. I ask that You give me enough hearing and understanding to be able to know what others are saying.
Lord, I ask You blessing for Feral Cat Lady (FCL). She is waging a battle to show people on this dating wed sight that You created the earth, and if we look carefully, truthfully, they will see all the evidence they need that You are the creator and all these other evolutionary schemes are of the world and foolish. FCL is taking a beating from the world on the forums. She is putting up a good fight. Lord, I ask You to give her the strength to keep up the fight if that is Your will.
Lord, I ask that You give Winnie the support You would have her have. To me it seems wrong that anyone should be alone. If it is Your will Lord, I ask that you find Winnie just the right person. If You couple her up with another strong Christian, between them they can do more than the two can do each alone.
I thank You, Lord, for the gift of setting down words You have given to Britty. I thank You for the way her words flow and for the wisdom of her thoughts. Her writing appears to be inspired.
Lord, I ask that You look down on this forum, on this web site, set here as a free service to get people together. I ask, Lord, that You use this web site to bring those together You would have meet. I thank You, Lord, for the way I found Just Say Hi and for all those on here who have been willing to read and write.
Lord I lift up to You the troops, the one taken from their homes to do battle in foreign land for their country. I ask, Lord, that as they are taken outside of their comfort zone with family and friends, that those You would have do so, reach for You as their strength in times of need. I ask that You enlist some of our soldiers in Your army.
I give all I am to You Lord, I give my strength, my words, my efforts all I have and all I am to You Lord. I ask to be used as an answer to someone’s prayer that I might be a blessing to someone today.

Good morning all.

Beautiful prayer JB.

Winnie - our thoughts and prayers are with you and your son.

Good morning to all I am not mew to the site but new to this forum it is just what I need to get back on track with God.

Thanks Britty, looking forward to meeting everyone. You have a blessed day

Welcome Tim and enjoy all the beautiful inspirations and prayers from fellow Christians.

Dear Lord: I humbly come before you and ask that you put a hedge of protection around all the Christians..I ask Lord that you especially give me the wisdom for the threads I have up....Open the hearts that need to be, and show them that your Son Jesus Christ is the only way. Give all health, wisdom, and strength in Your Mighty Name.....this I pray

Amen

And the people said, "AMEN"

Hi Feral -

I made an offer of the Bible on CD when I first introduced myself a couple of days ago. One lady responded saying she would like a copy. I was then in a quandary. How do I respond? I wrote and asked her for her address and told her I would gladly burn her a copy. I felt wrong in doing this. I know my own intentions and that they are good. I also know that the internet is filled with wrong doers. I see them even here on this web site. I would not, if I was a lady, give my mailing address to anyone.
I have found listening to the Bible to be a great thing, at least for me. I can listen during my hour long drive to and from work. I also sometimes get a chance to listen while I am working. I cherish the time I am able to spend listening to God’s word. I want for others to have the same opportunity. I don’t want to have to ask people for their home addresses.
God is good! Sitting here on my desk is the original disk I use to copy the MP3 files from. On the disk is the web site I obtained the Bible disks from. If you would like the King James Bible in MP3 format ready for iPods or MP3 players, read by Alexander Scorby just go to this web site and order yourself a copy. www.Bibletruthforum.com. The set of three disks sell for a contribution of $12. If you want for me to know your address, I would be thrilled, but you can get a copy of the King James Bible in MP3 CD disks without taking the risk of writing to me.
Everyone I have burned disks for is thankful to be able to listen to the Bible while they are doing other things.

JB - thanks for the link for the copy of the CD.

I also emailed the Christian sister.


Have a super day JB.

Good morning Winnie,

Hope all went well yesterday.


Good morning all, I am just enjoying a scrumptious muffin and a nice decaf coffee.

Come on in and relax a while.

It Isn't, Until ...

A bell isn't a bell 'till it's rung,
A song isn't a song 'till it's sung,
Love isn't put in your heart to stay,
Love isn't love 'till it's given away.
