that's true. In many cases we don't have to go out and hunt for him. And many of us may know when God is calling us to do something for him. Whether it is to teach Sunday School or something else, but we can still resist it.
One of the seven realities of experiencing God is that God's invitation for you to work with Him always leads you to a crisis of belief that requires faith and action. This is because often times when God calls us to do something it requires faith. If we trust in our own ability or skills we...
From what I have seen it is grandparents who have taken on the role of parent because the parent is completely absent. Either having given up their rights due to drug abuse or neglect or for some other reason. It is rare with the parents that I work with in the mental health field for both the...
Galatians 5:22-23 says
22 "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law."
Paul said that these things are evidence of fruit of the Spirit, yet unbelievers can sometimes display...
Yes, I've had some anxiety issues for the last 15 years or so. Sometimes it comes from things I am allowing myself to dwell on and then when you look at it you see that your jumping to conclusions. I found a book called "Telling Yourself the Truth" by William Backus and Marie Chapian that is...

I think using Jonah as an example was a poor choice on your part. Jonah experienced the disciplining hand of God because of his...
I think you missed the point. I will give you an example. I knew a lady back in 1988 who volunteered to teach children's VBS. She had never taught before, but felt God calling her to volunteer and took a step of faith and agreed to do it. I met her the day before VBS started and she was...
I am curious if any of you have used either personally or in the churches you attend the "Experiencing God" material by Henry Blackaby and Claude King?
I went through it first about 25 years ago and thought it was really profound. One of Henry's sons was in my Sunday School class when I was in...
my understanding what he said is that many believers today are use to spiritual milk and not solid food due to their spiritual immaturity. similar to what is mentioned in 1 Corinthians 3:1-4
Brothers and sisters, I could not address you as people who live by the Spirit but as people who are...
one of the reasons I don't attend the church with home groups is that they meet on weekday evenings and I am still working late then, so I couldn't be there anyway.
The church I have recently started attending has about 130 or so in worship and averaging about 55 or so in Sunday School. Recenty there was a short survey in the bulletin about what could be done to change the Sunday School to get more people involved. I am not sure what the problem is in...
