All About GOD - Growing Relationships with Jesus and Others

Coffee house/fellowship hall/ general chit chat

Information

Hey all. First of all. Merry Joyous blessed Christmas to you.

LT said I could try creating a place for general chit-chat and fellowship....as an alternative to 'yet uncategorized'. One thing that has been on my mind lately are 2 barely noticable verses in John 1: ¹² "But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: ¹³ who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." This is way too deep for me. Is this 'who we are' the moment we believe?

As Christians, I know that each and everyone of us go through so many challenges and experiences that could sometimes turn out to be more than a handful to deal with. But as Christians, how should we deal with pessimism, negativity, anger, hatred,…Continue

Comment by Ryan Wichman on September 23, 2013 at 2:42pm: Anyone who loves is born of God, 1 John 4:7- When does this begin, right this moment I believe its the moment we believe that Christ died for our sins and rose again. However, before time we were known by God, so is it not possible that we were of God even when we were born? I mean really how many babies do you see without the capacity to Love, I personally have never encountered that. God is Love!

May all of you be blessed this day, filled and running over the top with the love that comes only from Jesus. I pray it runs ober and 'splatters' all over eveyone wherever you go. In the Name of Jesus!..Amen

Comment by forgiven on February 13, 2013 at 11:07am: Hi everyone...a little update and testimony. (: I havent been on for a while...I have been somewhat busy. I moved to Hong Kong September 14 2012, and was married to a wonderful little China-girl September 19. After many months and hard work, I received my Hong Kong Visa and HK ID card. within 1 week of being legal for work here, I started teaching English Language in a local language school. The Lord has done amazing things in my life....I just keep putting one foot in front of the other as my wife and I trust the Lord and believe that He wants good things for us. Now we are just wondering:" what is next?" What will His next incredible blessing be in our lives? (:

Comment by Colby on January 24, 2013 at 10:37pm: HIS power, indeed! Reminds me of my favorite verse from the Holy Scriptures. Philippians 4:13: "I can do all things through him who strengthens me."

Ephesians 3:20 is cross-referenced with 2 Corinthians 9:8: "And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work."

Comment by forgiven on May 3, 2012 at 12:25pm: I was reading Ephesians 3:20 this morning.....such a great reminder. ....

Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

I get sooooo lost in what 'I am able' and then overwhelmed but my own failures when things do not go well......It is HIS power, not mine, and He can do whatsoever He desires with and 'in' my life.
