...What is the role of the church in social justice?<br /><br />How should the church respond to individuals who claim to be Christians but do not live it out?<br /><br />How do we determine what beliefs are necessary for salvation and what are not?<br /><br />What is the role of women in the home, the workplace, the university, and the church?<br /><br />How should the commandment to take dominion and stewardship over the earth inform our reaction to the modern environmentalist movement?<br /><br />How should Christians view the government's efforts to end poverty?<br /><br />What is the role of government in regulating moral/immoral behaviors?<br /><br /><br />Needless to say, you have my respect if you answer all these. ;)Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12668219600662132894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443739908453011937.post-39995047728595862312013-10-06T18:03:22.719-07:002013-10-06T18:03:22.719-07:00In the end He will, but in the meantime He calls u...In the end He will, but in the meantime He calls us to take care of the gifts He has given us. <br /><br />Imagine someone gives you a car for your birthday, but you don't change the oil or service it since one day it will break down. No one would ever do that! It's the same with God and our world. Though one day this earth will break down, in the meantime we are called to care for it.<br /><br />Hope that answers your question :)<br /><br />MatthewMatthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13898519674109507521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443739908453011937.post-28253201210000777502013-06-07T12:53:33.786-07:002013-06-07T12:53:33.786-07:00Isn't God going to destroy the world anyway?Isn't God going to destroy the world anyway?Helieumnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443739908453011937.post-7401389651243430532013-03-29T20:02:49.174-07:002013-03-29T20:02:49.174-07:00I am intrigued!

Many people ask how can God allow bad things to happen to good people - but they don't realize (or want to admit) that they are not at all "good" by God's standards. Their definition of "good" is twisted.<br /><br />And the verses you gave(should be) comforting to all believers.<br />The verses you gave made me think of these: Hebrews 12:5-8<br /><br />5 - And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:<br />6 - For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth , and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth .<br />7 - If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?<br />8 - But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.<br /><br />Much of that chapter talks of God's chastening(s).<br /><br />I hope your day is blessed!<br />~ MandieMandiehttp://awholeheartedlife.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443739908453011937.post-84031232965780693972012-06-20T05:56:13.493-07:002012-06-20T05:56:13.493-07:00Amen Josiah!Amen Josiah!Lady Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06681990356801828631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443739908453011937.post-46425432616948124552012-06-18T06:24:12.199-07:002012-06-18T06:24:12.199-07:00Great post, Josiah!

It takes careful consideration and discernment to choose good music, not just music with a catchy rhythm or a "feel-good" message. Good music is well written musically AND brings honor and glory to God. Music that is worth singing along with with always glorify God. <br /><br />Music is similar to other mediums (TV, movies, even books). It can be a temptation that turns our hearts away from God. It is doubly challenging because lyrics stick in our minds even after the song is over, similar to how a picture stays in your mind after the movie is done.<br /><br />Thanks for the thought provoking blog post rooted in Scripture!Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08092644337384215685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443739908453011937.post-22547920478107545022012-06-16T16:44:38.654-07:002012-06-16T16:44:38.654-07:00Thanks for the reminder Josiah!

Something that I wonder about is whether or not the verses found in Matthew can be applied to the verses in I Corinthians. In a way, it seems that to say that we must be reconciled with our brother in order to partake is to make it a sacrifice that we are giving to God, when in reality, we are to be remembering the perfect sacrifice that He gave on our behalf. Also, such a view also seems to discourage the obedience of this command by inducing fear that there is unresolved sin in one's life that they may have, and so, might as well just not ever eat of it, being that doing so eat and drink damnation to themselves. (KJV) Do you think perhaps the examining of yourself could mean that we are to know, and acknowledge the body and blood of Christ, not taking the remembrance of His sacrifice lightly? I am not certain on the answers, and I appreciate your willingness to share about this topic!sheeptrotternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443739908453011937.post-90737850983721296602012-05-03T08:49:28.193-07:002012-05-03T08:49:28.193-07:00Thank you for the reminder, Victoria.

It is just that we have heard it so many times that it it just doesn't mean the same thing to us as it does to people who hear it for the first time!

Something that I realized when I was reading this is that we are not the ones fighting! It is the holy spirit that is working in us and fighting For us! Like it says in the passage that you posted "For I know that in me (that is my flesh) nothing good dwells...For the good that I will to do, I do not do". It is only by Gods unending grace that we have ever done anything right. Not that I am saying that God is controlling us, That is not at all what I mean, but it is only by the holy spirit living in us.<br />Thank you again Victoria, and God Bless you,<br />GracieGraciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08282749516339783339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443739908453011937.post-17816410476210008042012-04-16T10:53:46.411-07:002012-04-16T10:53:46.411-07:00Thanks Victoria!
