41 | What is worship, according to the Bible? | John 4:24 | Lissamz | 135614 | ||
I know this is a little late. Like 2 years late!!But, I believe from the Word of God that acceptable worship (because there are many unacceptable ways of worship!!) is found in Psalm 24:3-6. The outward display of worship is second to the internal, the outward should be a reflection of the internal. Another good verse is also in Psalm 51:16-17. And lastly, the perfect example, Rev. 4:5-11. Hope these helped before it was too late, but then again the Word of God is always right on time! Hosanna! | ||||||
42 | God | John 14:27 | Lissamz | 203583 | ||
Hello Everyone..I suffer from Bipolar, which is a terrible ordeal to go through on a hour to hour basis. I cry out to the Lord a lot with just simple prayers like, "Adonai, keep me from hurting myself and others. Abba, help me to keep my sanity right now. LORD, don't let me fall from you fingers." I cry out to the Lord more than anything else I do in a day. I do feel He is listening...matter of fact I know. I stumbled upon this verse tonight in my AMP Bible. "Agitated, disturbed, fearful, cowardly, unsettled" all describe me right now. And to hear Him come down from Heaven and speak this into my heart makes me wail, because He cares that much. Now I know I need His peace. His unmovable peace. His sustaining peace. But I don't know if I can find that peace all the time. When I'm having a break down all that can go through my head are negative, violent thoughts, put there by satan. How do I seek this peace in the bad times. (And I mean bad times to the 100th degree). How have some of you done this and what Scriptures do you use? Disclaimer: I have a psychiartist, and a Christain counselor. I'm not looking for a diagnosis or someone to talk to. I'm looking to the Lord's Word to heal my pain and suffering. Please share anything that you may know or have. Thank you so much. May God bless and shine His countenance on you all. Lissamz |

43 | Jesus not Legalism!! | 1 Cor 7:15 | Lissamz | 143909 | ||
Hello Saints, I was highly surprised when I read the posts here on the subject of divorce. 1 Cor. 7 and Matt 19 and Mark 10 are places where you can get the Lord's viewpoint of divorce and remarriage. I am appalled, though, at the answers concerning women and children that are being abused and the staunch, legalistic approaches that conclude that women remain in these marriages no matter what. This is simply ridiculous. So many Christians are so far off base. You simply CANNOT understand or teach Scripture without the underlying principle of LOVE. People so easily forget the compassion, mercy, grace, and abounding LOVE, shown to them when the Lord received them. But yet, I do know that you must be grounded in more than the "Bible", you must first be grounded in LOVE- see 1Jn 2:5-6 "but whoever keeps His word, in him the love of God has truly been perfected. By this we know that we are in Him: the one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked." When I see the Lord in the Bible, I see that He is Perfectly Just and Holy, but also that He is Perfectly Loving and Merciful. I realize that it is hard for mere mortal, sinful man to "see" this and often times, the Bible becomes the means for these power and righteous driven people. Ps. 139:1-4 reads " O LORD , you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD." The LORD God Almighty knows the thoughts, but also the intents behind those thoughts. (I think some forget this one, sometimes!) He cannot be fooled or manipulated. People need to learn to love one another and stop doing the Holy Spirit's job of conviction! (Can I get an Amen?!) Let us stop trying to be GOD and love one another that the love of Christ flowing through the Holy Spirit would draw other's to want to know the love, joy, and peace we experience, that by God's mercies He might save them. Where is the focus?? On self and "knowledge" of the Bible? Or on Jesus and His love shown through the Scriptures? Remember the Scripture: Or do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and tolerance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance? (Rom. 2:4) How about meditating on that Word, before posting hurtful, legalistic, self-righteous, manipulated Scriptures, absent of the LOVE of the LORD!! |

44 | Jesus not Legalism!! | 1 Cor 7:15 | Lissamz | 143910 | ||
Hello Again Saints, Small addition: LOVE is ACTION. The LORD loved us, so He sent Jesus to die for our sins. He didn't simply look down and say "I really love them, but they're still going to hell, because they are wicked and sinful." HE DID SOMETHING!! Stating I love you, is exactly that, stating. The LOVE of GOD is ACTIVE! Try letting the Holy Spirit cultivate this agape love in your life and see what a blessing it is to you and others, but most importantly how it glorifies the LORD and His LOVE for us. Jesus didn't die for laws, He fulfilled the Law Himself, He died for people. |

45 | Jesus not Legalism!! | 1 Cor 7:15 | Lissamz | 143926 | ||
Doc, I understand what you are saying and I see your viewpoint, but to attempt to teach or lead in the Word apart from the Love of God, simply is unbiblical and is not an excuse to teach or lead without the foundation of love. |
||||||
46 | Jesus not Legalism!! | 1 Cor 7:15 | Lissamz | 143928 | ||
BradK, I responded to Doc, on my issue. Teaching or leading in the Word, cannot be done biblically apart from the love of God. We cannot remove God's Love from Truth, nor can we remove God's Truth from His Love. It is even hard for me to do this! I cry out to Him for help in this area, but I do know one thing- Eph. 4:15 "Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ." (NIV) "Rather, let our lives lovingly [a]express truth [in all things, speaking truly, dealing truly, living truly]. Enfolded in love, let us grow up in every way and in all things into Him Who is the Head, [even] Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One)." (AMP) Love for God first through Jesus, His Son and the indwelling Holy Spirit, and next for our fellow man is our foundation, and this is totally biblical and found all throughout the Word. |

47 | Jesus not Legalism!! | 1 Cor 7:15 | Lissamz | 143929 | ||
Additional note: Biblical love has nothing to do with my "feelings' or anyone elses, it is a choice of freewill. I walk by faith, not sight (or feelings for that matter.) Because my feelings aren't true, God is True. |

49 | some people say you must speak in tongue | 1 Cor 12:4 | Lissamz | 143934 | ||
Hank, Good evening brother, I wanted to personally commend you on your stance of "the ones I simply don't understand." I've heard Beth Moore state, "When you see something or hear something that is not neccessarily laid out in the Word or you don't understand it, know enough about God, that you trust His heart to perfectly know what is His perfect knowledge in the matter." (paraphased) I find this little tidbit, can easily stop the arguing and fussing! Blessings to you from the Father. |

50 | The Humble Jesus.... | Phil 2:8 | Lissamz | 213359 | ||
Hello Brothers and Sisters, I'm interested...Is humility an attribute of God or was it just an attitude of Christ while on earth? I've searched under Christ and humility and Jesus and humility and this was the only verse I could find. Thank you in advance and God multiply His peace to you. |

51 | Believers and "Alternative" Spirituality | Phil 4:9 | Lissamz | 147060 | ||
Greetings Brother, I am so saddened to hear about your situation and will offer prayer for you and your wife. I would simply ask her one question (and make sure she knows how serious you are): What do you need or require that the Lord God Almighty cannot supply? I would ask her to answer also as seriously as possible. (I am banking on the fact of your intimacy with her as your wife.) Some Scriptures you can refer her to are: Phil. 4:9 "And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus." Is. 59:1 "Behold, the LORD'S hand is not so short, that it cannot save; Nor is His ear so dull, that it cannot hear." Luke 18:27 "..."The things that are impossible with people are possible with God." Try to lead her to the Lord's complete and total sufficience. I am a female and know that we have to be sorta approached from the sensitive end and in a way that we feel we are being listened to. Maybe, she will 'talk' herself out of whatever she is searching for outside of the Lord and find herself being led back to Him. God bless you and comfort you through this and give you all understanding and wisdom in this situation. hidden in Christ, Lissa |

52 | Study Bible | 2 Tim 2:15 | Lissamz | 137376 | ||
Brothers and Sisters, This is not actually a question about this verse, but is a pertinent. I am looking for a KJV study Bible and have been told to steer clear of the Scofield line. I already own NASB, KJV, and NKJV versions. I am trying to see if any of you own a Thompson Chain-Reference and if so, if it is a study Bible that contains notes that stick to the word of God and rightly divide the Word. Thanks! hidden in Christ, Lissa |

53 | Study Bible | 2 Tim 2:15 | Lissamz | 137382 | ||
Jayram, Thanks for answering I looked this Bible up online to price it and I found some weird "stuff" about it. Here's the article, http://www.ovrlnd.com/FalseDoctrine/drakesbible.html Can you look this up in your Dake Bible and tell me if this is true or not?? I don't believe everything I see on the internet and since you have one would like to know if it is actually in there. hidden in Christ, Lissa |

54 | Self-control..Spirit or Self? | Titus 2:5 | Lissamz | 213738 | ||
Hello Brothers and Sisters in Christ, I'm doing a study of self-control. My question is because the Greek word "sophron" is used in this verse and the word "Egkrateia" is used in Galatians 5:23. Is "sophron" an act that we work out within ourselves, therefore leaving "egkraeia" something that we recieve from the Holy Spirit? Please use Scripture to answer this question. Thanks Saints. |

55 | Discerning Christians? | Heb 5:14 | Lissamz | 146880 | ||
Hello Saints, "...senses trained to discern good and evil." I have heard of 'mature Christians', being able to discern the 'spirit' of other 'individuals' that say that they are Christians, but 'supposedly' are not, because they 'feel' or have a certain 'knowledge' (not physical proof of any kind) that the 'individual' is not of the same spirit in the Lord. There are a lot of quotations, because I have wondered about this being true or not. I will be praying about this subject, but would also like to know if there is any Biblical support for this other than the above portion of this verse and Gal. 5:17. Thanks Saints...God bless and shine His countenance upon you all. hidden in Christ, Lissa |
||||||
56 | Discerning Christians? | Heb 5:14 | Lissamz | 146884 | ||
Thanks for your 3 cents (see more than 2!!). I think you are right to say that seeking the Lord is the first and foremost need, before judging what is not plain and blatantly in front of our faces. I just think that humans many times judge based on experience and personal motives, rather than in the context of godly understanding, then wisdom. So, again, you are right, seeking His face and applying His will to our lives is always the perfect way to approach the situation. hidden in Christ, Lissa |

57 | Still a little cloudy for me... | Heb 5:14 | Lissamz | 146943 | ||
Thanks for the input Searcher56, I am still a little cloudy about whether testing the spirits (1 Jn 4:1) is actually connected to discernment (referring to Heb. 5:14). Hmmm, I guess I would ask if spiritual discernment comes forth from testing the spirits?? (Looking forward to an answer, please respond as soon as you can!) hidden in Christ, Lissa |

58 | Is it God speaking?? | James 1:5 | Lissamz | 213299 | ||
Hello, Brothers and Sisters in Christ, My question is a little personal, but I'm desperate. I have read this Scripture for years and asked for wisdom. I have problems, though, because I feel like I cannot hear God. I might also mention that I'm bipolar and have had problems with my emotions and feelings. I feel like I can't discern and hear God. I read the Word daily and seek what it says. I work on what it tells me God wants me to be and how He wants my heart to be before Him. But others talk of God speaking to them and speaking to their hearts. Am I the only one that this doesn't happen to? Even when I feel that it was God speaking to me I think over it again and again until I don't know if it was God or just over-thinking. Please help! I really want to be what God wants, but spend much time in confusion, thinking that I have missed out on God's rhema word to me, because I analyze it out of my mind. |

59 | Is it God speaking?? | James 1:5 | Lissamz | 213317 | ||
Thank You so much. I do need to look up, because I am well aware of my inadequacies. And I will begin to pray for the Lord to increase my faith. I just wanted to know if I was having a spiritual problem, because of others around me. I know the answer lies within Christ and the Word, and the Holy Spirit at work within me. I will continue to "press in" because I truly love the Lord. Blessing and peace be multiplied towards you, DocTrinsograce |

60 | Is it God speaking?? | James 1:5 | Lissamz | 213319 | ||
Thank You for answering. But I'm wondering...Does this mean that the ones that have talked about this around me have been "over exaggerating" or "over-stating" the truth? I mean they come off so "spiritual" and I seem so "simple." I don't understand it, but the Scripture you quoted does shine the "light" on the situation. I don't have to feel bad anymore because I feel like a "lower-class" Christian, because I don't have to "tak[e] his stand on visions [he claims] he has seen" as something lacking in my life. God bless and shine His countenance upon you, MJH |
