Bible Study 2 14 13


So, this was an invigorating discussion. Due to the personal nature of the discussion, some of the discussion was edited out, however, one thing led to another and some questions were asked.
How would you handle being around a gossipy  Christian that got on everyone's nerves? You know the scripture says to go and gently restore the gossipy one, but you also know that this particular person has got on your last nerve, and you don't think you'd be able to talk to them in a kind, loving manner. What would you do?

Bible Study 2 7 13


This was a very quick study tonight. A review on how to treat others, regardless of how they treat us. I know we're supposed to love them and forgive a person for doing us wrong. I don't necessarily have it in me to do, but with the Holy Spirit's conviction, sooner or later, I know His forgiveness will be flowing out of me, onto others.
Hang in there.

Bible Study 1 31 13


Something that was mentioned by Daddy that seemed really profound: God's forgiveness towards us was unprovoked. There's nothing we did in order to provoke Him into forgiving us. He did so because of who He is, not because of who we are. Our "asking God to forgive us" won't make Him forgive us; we're already forgiven. Mankind, including the likes of Hitler and BinLaden, as well as you and me, were forgiven when Jesus died on the cross. Don't ask God to do what He's already done; instead, thank Him for what He's already done (forgiven us) and ask to learn to do things His way (in love) instead of our way (Usually gratifying the flesh)
