Praying Effectively
lightmyway:
When someone asks for your opinion on prayer, what would you say? The usual answers I’d get when I ask someone that is that prayer is a method of communication with God. Or prayer is a way in which you lift up your problems and wants upon the Lord for Him to grant them one by one. Well, it’s important to know that the heart of prayer is not just these, but of course, it is important...
The Emerging Female God
lightmyway:
Okay following my last question about the existence of a female God. I’ve come up with a few pointers on why this belief is flawed.
Firstly, quoting from peacenotwar’s thoughts, “God is genderless Jesus says in John’s gospel ‘God is Spirit’. The reason God is referred to as He is the fact he carries out fatherly duties” And I totally agree with that. God is spirit. Spirit has no...
Jesus' Legacy Of Peace
lightmyway:
Jesus said, “I leave you peace; my peace I give you. I do not give it to you as the world does. So don’t let your hearts be troubled or afraid.” (John 14:27)
In the Jewish culture, the Hebrew word ‘shalom’ us a customary greeting for both “hello” and “good-bye”. Shalom means peace and so much more. It implies a wish for health, prosperity, and wholeness, as well as a wish for an...

A prayer, please?

I just found out today that my boyfriend’s father has contracted pneumonia. It’s especially bad because he already has a lung condition (I can’t remember the name) that requires him to be connected to an oxygen machine. I’m pretty sure he’s also on a waiting list for a lung transplant right now.
This man is such an inspiration to so many people. He’s been incredibly involved...
The Words Of My Praise
lightmyway:
You make yourself known, as the sun rises, You cry with us alone, when it rains. How did I miss the signs of your creation? Can I write down the words of my praise? You paint yourself on the mountain ranges, You speak to us through the mighty winds. How did I miss your supreme power? Can I write down the words of my praise? You sing through the songs of the morning birds, You dance...

I just read this incredible essay from Anne Jackson’s blog, written for her new book/project, Permission to Speak Freely. And I think ALL of us experience fear, so read it! There is so much truth in it:
Fear has always been a companion in my life, and most of the time, I welcomed him to some extent. Ironically, he felt safe enough and I would allow him to tag...
“Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert...”
– Galatians 1:7-10
This is pretty strong and makes you wonder how people can so casually try to vary the actual Gospel message. The gospel is the gospel and there are no “variations on the theme”, it’s not up for negotiation, nor is it “Let’s make a deal”.
It is what it is, for that I am so...

35 REASONS NOT TO SIN

humbleservant:
Because a little sin leads to more sin. Because my sin invites the discipline of God. Because the time spent in sin is forever wasted. Because my sin never pleases but always grieves God who loves me. Because my sin places a greater burden on my spiritual leaders. Because in time my sin always brings heaviness to my heart. ...
