61 | How does the church respond to abuse? | Jer 5:31 | inmyheart | 86580 | ||
In every culture throughout history, mankind has sought solutions to life's problems. Each generation offers new man-made philosophies and models, but personal and interpersonal problems continue to plaque us. Even in the Body of Christ, there are many other problems resulting in distress, physical abuse, physical illness and immobility. God intends and expect marriage to be a lifetime commitment between a man and a woman, based on the principles of biblical love. The relationship between Jesus Christ and His Church is the supreme example of the committed love that a husband and wife are to follow in their relationship with each other (based on Ecclesiastes 9:9; Malachi 2:14; Matthew 19:3-6; Mark 10:6-9; I Corinthians 13:4-8a; Ephesians 5:21-33). As you continue to be a biblical servant and be a blessing to your spouse (based on Romans 12:9-21; Ephesians 5:21-33; Philippians 2:3-4), you can be assured that God will work all things for good in your relationship with your spouse. No one, not even an unbelieving or unloving or rebellious spouse, can prevent it (based on Romans 8:28-29). God's blessings |

Debbie, Thank you for your comments. I believe the majority of us have struggled with this and Romans 12:2 refers to renewing our minds, but as our minds are being renewed this is what we are to think on: Phl. 4:8, Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things [are] honest, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever things [are] pure, whatsoever things [are] lovely, whatsoever things [are] of good report; if [there be] any virtue, and if [there be] any praise, think on these things. God bless you |

Matthew 15:1:1 "Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man." Matthew 15:17-20: "Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught? 18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. 19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: 20 These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man." Jesus taught in the Bible that when a man curses or uses profanity it is a sign of evil that was in that man's heart. It is popular today for both men and women to curse. They never think of it as an evil condition in their heart, but rather a small thing that everyone does. These small words of cursing the Bible says, will defile the whole man if they are not repented of and stopped. Cussing and using the name of the Lord in vain causes one to become defiled. Colosians 3:8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. 9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; 10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him." Matthew 5:37: "But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil." If swearing and cursing have been a problem in your life ask the Lord to forgive you and deliver you so that your words may be good and loving words full of grace and truth. He will help you overcome this problem through His power. Matthew 12:34-36: "O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. 35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. 36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment." Psalm 19:14: "Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer." God Bless |

65 | Punishment for the Traitor / Friend? | Ps 55:20 | inmyheart | 84901 | ||
Just Read Mark, I answer in part, as the whole context would take too much space: David prays for God’s help in a time of trouble. We are not given in this psalm, or in the inscription, the occasion that prompted these prayers, but we know that at the root of the trouble was the betrayal of a close friend. This would suggest that the occasion of the psalm was when David’s trusted counsellor, Ahithophel, betrayed David and joined with Absalom, David’s own son, in rebellion (see II Sam. 15:12). When we encounter passages in the Bible about betrayal, we should pay special attention, for there is a great possibility that the passages contain a prophetic reference to Judas’s betrayal of Jesus, since "the volume of the book" is about our Lord Jesus Christ. David is convinced of the bloodguiltiness of his foes, their treachery amplified by their feigned friendship: "My companion attacks his friends; he violates his covenant. His speech is smooth as butter, yet war is in his heart; his words are more soothing than oil, yet they are drawn swords" (vss. 20-21). The contrast between David’s own righteous behavior in the situation versus the wickedness of his foes convinces David that God will take his part: "Cast your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous fall. But You, O God, will bring down the wicked into the pit of corruption; bloodthirsty and deceitful men will not live out half their days. But as for me, I trust in You" (vss. 22-23). Oh, praise be to God that we can "cast our cares on the Lord." May we ever fervently seek Him in times of trouble. May we walk in His ways, and not be corrupted by the sins of the wicked who battle against us, so that in righteousness we can seek His help, and trust in Him for deliverance! God bless |

68 | dealing with a nonbeliever sister | John 13:35 | inmyheart | 84748 | ||
Free Thinker Will you go for Deuteronomy 30! I was a non-believer too! We all were born this way, Rom. 3:23. God has done all He is going to do, the rest is up to us. The Word of God reads in 1Cor.1:18 "For the message about Christ's death on the cross is non-sense to those who are being lost; but for us who are being saved it is God's power." (Good News Bible)...and finally, reading 1Cor.2:1-5, "When I came to you, my friends to preach God's secret truth, I did not use big words and great learning. For while I was with you, I made up my mind to forget everything except Jesus Christ and especially His death on the cross. So when I came to you, I was weak and trembled all over with fear, and my teaching and message were not delivered with skillful words of human wisdom, but with convincing proof of the power of God's Spirit. Your faith, then, does not rest of human wisdom but on Gods's power." God bless you Free Thinker, God really loves you. John 3:16. |

69 | Family Values Acts 18, where?? | NT general Archive 1 | inmyheart | 84746 | ||
Here is some added info for Aquila and Priscilla: In the Acts 18 passage we read together, Aquila and Priscilla are an example of a marriage partnership which glorifies God. Aquila and Priscilla are always mentioned together - three times in scripture as Aquila and Priscilla - three times as Priscilla and Aquila - neither is placed on a higher pedestal and always together - a shared partnership. They were one in their relationship with Jesus Christ - knowing Him personally as their Savior - and all they accomplished together in the name of the Lord was the result of that unity of spirit and purpose. Both were Jews from Asia Minor - they share a common ancestry, culture, language, and background. They were originally from Pontus - and had been driven from their home by an edict of Claudius against the Jews. And so at the time of the Acts 18 account they are living in Corinth. Together they own a small tentmaking business sharing equally in the duties of their business. And, as with all aspects of their marriage, they were in the tent business first of all, for the glory of God. The tents are made of goat’s hair, sewn together with thread, seamed together - quality workmanship - and those who come to their shop - their customers - know them as honest and fair in their dealings. The Apostle Paul first met Aquila and Priscilla when he came to Corinth from Athens. For 18 months Paul lived in their home. Often we hear that "Paul was a tentmaker, while he preached in Corinth." It was in Aquila and Priscilla’s tent shop that he worked. Imagine - when they were not preaching and teaching - Paul, Aquila, and Priscilla sitting together - and as they plied their needles, fashioning or repairing tents - they shared their lives and faith. And anyone who came into that shop would hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ - and would see the reality of the Gospel demonstrated in their relationship together - their love for each other - and in the way they dealt with their customers. Aquila and Priscilla are partners together in ministry. They have opened up their home to be used for God’s glory - the church of Corinth meets and worships in there. Together they had a powerful impact on the life of Apollos. Remember Apollos? Apollos is the one who Paul refers to when he says, "I planted, Apollos watered, but God was causing the growth." (1 Corinthians 3:6) Apollos came to Corinth from Alexandria. He was well educated, cultured, and a powerful orator. But, with all his brilliance and eloquence, when Apollos first came to Corinth, he only knew part of the Gospel - the first part -the teaching of John the Baptist. What he was preaching was not in error - it was just incomplete. It was Aquila and Priscilla who took Apollos aside and shared with him the larger truth of redemption - the reality of salvation through Jesus Christ - crucified and alive. The result was Apollos’ powerful ministry - so dynamic that some in Corinth gave him higher regard than Paul and Peter. But, all that Apollos became he owed, under God, to the quiet instruction - the discipleship - of Aquila and Priscilla. Aquila and Priscilla had a tremendous part in the ministry of the Apostle Paul. When Paul left Corinth for Ephesus - they went with him. There they joined him in his ministry. During the great riots in Ephesus, Aquila and Priscilla risked their own lives to save Paul’s life. Later, they followed Paul to Rome and joined him in ministry there. Where would the ministry of Apollos have been, what would the ministry of Paul have been like - what if he had been martyred in Ephesus - only God knows how many were saved spiritually - how significant was the ministry of Aquila and Priscilla. The history of Christianity is filled with humble men and women like Aquila and Priscilla - inconspicuously working behind the scenes - focused on serving God - bringing glory to Him and not themselves. God bless |

70 | How do I answer my children? | Bible general Archive 1 | inmyheart | 84072 | ||
Greetings You stated "If a person believes that Jesus is our Savior but is obnoxious do they go to heaven, but a person who takes great care of family and little children and does good works all day long for the school, library and comunity but does not believe....is going to hell? How must I answer my children? They say that penicillin is a wonder drug, a great antibiotic, but if you have cancer, it is worthless! You can be the best person in the community, but without Jesus, His sacrifice and shedding of His blood, that person is a lost soul. However, that drunk or that drug addicted person who ripped and robbed everyone they met and were the scum of the earth, when that person responded to the call of the Lord and recieved Jesus as Lord and Savior...their sins, though many...are forgiven and their names are written in the book of life! Also John 3:5-7 How must I answer my children you say...how about through your actions, your testimony, your love and prayers for them, that's one way of doing it. "For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your childre would be unclean, but as it is, the are holy." 1 Corinthians 7:14 God bless you, He really loves you and He will be faithful to your prayers. You do what you can and He will do what you can't do. God bless |

71 | believe in god and not have salvation | James 2:19 | inmyheart | 84071 | ||
Greetings I forward these verses in response to your question: Rom 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, Rom 1:19 because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. Rom 1:20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. Rom 1:21 For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Rom 1:22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, Rom 1:23 and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures. Rom 1:24 Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them. Rom 1:25 For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. (NASB) God bless |

80 | cristian can i bieng a man look | NT general Archive 1 | inmyheart | 83593 | ||
Yes, you can look at a women without feeling guilty! Or maybe being a womanizer was a past issue and it's now being worked through. Lust and looking, what's the difference? Looking is viewing a person as God's creation and lust is viewing a person as an object for your own sexual desires. This is a very good question because when I was living in sin, a woman that was dressed to get attention, was hard for me not to look and wonder what the possibilities might be, but now as a Christian I had to work on the lust issues in my life and the consequences of adultry, the end result of sin is death, but life is comes through our Lord and Savior, Jesus! God bless God bless |
