My sister-in-law had a baby shower this past Saturday. I kept my son and nephew (ages 6 and 7) at my house and entertained them while my wife, sister, and mother went to the baby shower. Afterwards, my mother-in-law became upset that my wife didn't bring our son; she thought he should have went and felt my wife didn't bring him out of jealous spite. Hence, my question.

"After people receive blessings that they asked for,very
few send back acknowledgments. "How does one acknowledge God's
blessings?" ."Simple. "Just say, "Thank you, Lord.""What blessings should they acknowledge? "If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep. You are richer than 75% of this world. "If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a
dish, you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.
"If you get this on your own computer, you are part of the 1% in the world who has that opportunity."
Also... "If you woke up this morning with more health than illness,you are more blessed than the many who will not even survive this day. "If you have never experienced the fear in battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation, you are ahead of 700 million people in the world. please count your blessings and thank jesus for all good and bad times

While taking my child to school this morning, God played all my favorite songs (Christian Radio). When I got home and ate breakfast, he beckoned me to read the Bible. I couldn't make it through the first chapter of John without having a good cry. I have no idea why I cried, God was just pouring his spirit out on me. I am a Christian, and know Jesus as Lord, what should I do?

dont you realize that!? Ladies, your hair is beautiful, stop letting people who dont understand our hair tell you that your hair is nappy. Sure, we put relaxers and scalp conditioners on our hair, but our hair is beutiful natural as well. Be proud of your hair. As long as you take care of it, you don't have to be shamed!

btw, there is nothing wrong with hair extensions, if that is what you want to do, so be it!

Not me, of course, we all know where I would end if there was such a place. What about the naturally inquisitive who question everything. Would these types be allowed in heaven?

Would you let your creation destroy itself, along with your other creations? Would you allow it to become corrupt and evil, and have other false Gods?

Would you intervene and put an end to the suffering that they cause themselves? Why or why not?

Do you think you would still be considered benevolent even if you sent 5/6ths of your human creation to eternal damnation?

Having failed to live in complete accord with the Word, both looked for some excuse to feel redeemed.

Jesus, who lived in complete accord with the Word, did not have a need for grace and called upon His followers to live in complete accord with the Word as he did.

"Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven." Matthew 7:21

"Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect." (Matthew 5:48)

Whose approach are you called upon to follow?

The Word of Jesus, or the words of Peter and Paul?

Last night our former neighbor and friend came over. She had just broken up with her boyfriend, and she also gave us some very interesting news. Friday night, Basil's wallet went missing. We thought that he dropped it somewhere, because we tore up the apartment looking for it. My friend told me that when her boyfriend was at our apartment on Friday night, he pocketed the wallet and spent the $80 in it on drugs. Now, he has no idea that we know. How should we handle this situation without giving away who told us he did it?

Try to explain what worries if any you might have if you had a seemingly unlimited supply of money.

Since this imaginary money was supposedly given to you by God I am placing the question underneath religion and spirituality. And I am looking for a deeper more spiritual perspective if possible.

My child recently came home with a book containing multiple lurid descriptions of incestuous behavior, murder, drunkenness and mysogeny that was given out at school. Should I attempt to get this book banned?

I believe that the world is facing some really tough times ahead..As prophecy goes, we could be approaching tribulations of one type or another, as most of us are. I see world and personal problems intensifying, don't you?
So, my question is, how will your faith, ( whatever it is) help you during your trials?
Are you faithful or secure enough in your beliefs to get you thru the tough times?
Are you able to ( as some say ) "Let go and let God" ?
This is very hard for some, even tho we are believers, so in what ways has your faith helped you to overcome difficulties????
Do you believe in prayer? Has it worked for you? ( I do!)

They could be used for target practice by the police armed response squads, the armed forces, and anybody that has a gun licence...

This could then be used as a deterrent...
