This is meant as a positive thread to give us a chance to tell each other the positives we see in the church we attend.

I seem to be suffering lately from chronic headaches that last most of the day. I've been having them a lot lately. I'm not sure why. Anyone on here try any home remedies to help with headaches? Any suggestions I could try?
We shouldn't even need to say this, but this is a reminder not to use profanity. That includes using asterisk ** in order to try and use curse words, using words in the bible in a nonbiblical way such as damn or ass and not using abbreviations such as BS or putting spaces between letters to...

From this book of 1 Peter I believe there are several key ideas:
1. God has a purpose and a design for each one of us and our suffering and trials are something we should see as something that God uses to mold us into Christlikeness and make us more useful for His glory
2. Peter saw that our...
