"His peace is lost when we look away from Him. When we fix our eyes upon our worries, it is the things of the next world that grow strangely dim. A sad fact, because, as C. S. Lewis said, 'The Christians who did the most for the present world were precisely those who thought most of the next.' Worry, if we let it, can become like atheism. It can grow into unbelief about who Jesus is and what Jesus says. This worry acts as if Jesus didn’t exist, or that Jesus isn’t who He says He is." ~T.W.S.…

<p>Hi, My Reply</p>
<p> Heavenly Thoughts are in the first chapter of Genesis which is the air and clouds, or the outer space. It is said the second coming will rise up dead by unknowledgable means.

Sin equals to Death and the Strenght of Sin is the Law which is How our world or Divine or Godly Laws made by God like 10 commandments and 2 commandments of Jesus for Humans. You'll never know if theres is Heaven or Not if Your not alive the Moment the Time passes, or by from your judgement to others that they are "Heavenly Minded and No Earthly Good" and in Opposite of it , if they Die How would you know if they Right to Judge or if theres Heaven waiting for Them. My Advice is Live for the Earthly means by Prioritizing Heavenly things. In the Beggining God created the (1)Heaven and the (2)Earth.</p> I am sorry that you have been…tag:www.allaboutgod.net,2020-04-10:1383940:Comment:17913742020-04-10T05:28:52.856Zthewatchmanhttp://www.allaboutgod.net/profile/puritanwatchman
<p>I am sorry that you have been confused and really troubled by my response and attitude. </p>
<p>Yes, I do believe that people are ignorant of never having read the Bible and being dispassionate. Not sure about what you mean when people follow His Word. I don't think that I've been controlling and not allowing discussion, after all, I'm not the person who shut down discussions.

No I'm not only interested in people that agree with me, but yet I am....because the Bible does say that we will be in agreement, if we all believe in God. In my opinion I do not understand one iota of you saying having "lost the light of Jesus". And yes, I still stand on the concept of speaking out like Jeremiah.....I will not defend myself, I proclaim Jesus and His Word & that's it. </p> You're absolutely right JB! …tag:www.allaboutgod.net,2020-01-08:1383940:Comment:17883462020-01-08T18:56:24.482ZCarlahttp://www.allaboutgod.net/profile/CarlaButler777
<p>You're absolutely right JB! </p>
<p>I pray we will keep our eyes on Him in all things at all times. It's the 'easy way out' to get caught up in emotions and become offended. This is a timely and important reminder for me ... yesterday I became offended over something someone said to me. Thank you for this. I need to forgive. It's amazing how quickly offense can creep into our hearts. </p>

<p>But if one is walking in love: what another person, pastor, friend, loved one or relative says, or thinks of you, will have no effect on your spirit, don’t get offended by what a carnally minded person says or does. We get offended when we lose sight of God, and who we are in Christ. Love never fails. If we are born again by the Spirit of God, it is a fruit of the Spirit, and is resident within us.</p>

<p>Hi Watchman;</p>
<p></p>
<p>Let me share a story with you.</p>
<p>A friend of mind told me of a time she was standing at the back of a church during the worship service with her eyes closed and her head down. She was soaking in God's presence quietly. Her hands were not raised, her eyes were not open, by all appearances she was asleep and disconnected. However, that couldn't be farther from the truth. She was worshiping in her own way.

<p>Hi Watchman;</p>
<p></p>
<p>Let me share a story with you.</p>
<p>A friend of mind told me of a time she was standing at the back of a church during the worship service with her eyes closed and her head down. She was soaking in God's presence quietly. Her hands were not raised, her eyes were not open, by all appearances she was asleep and disconnected. However, that couldn't be farther from the truth. She was worshiping in her own way. The Pastor came up to her disgusted by how she was disconnected and 'sleeping'. He told her that if she was not going to engage in the worship she should leave.</p>
<p>It was one of the first things which ignited her gradual walk away from the church and from the Lord.</p>
<p></p>
<p>You never know a person's heart. Don't rush to judgement. </p>
<p></p>
