marmeanders I too, never find myself with "nothing to do". I will jump at the chance to read either a book, a magazine or online pages. I also watch films from Netflix or listen to good online sermons.

marmeanders hello! I have many kinds of friends. Not all friends fall into the category of "one who is always there for you". That would be a "best" friend. I have many levels of friends. Those in my neighborhood, at my church, former workmates and so on. Only a handful...

marmeanders my dear catsanddogs, I am new here, but read your earlier post and gathered that you have INDEED been through "hell in a handbasket". I can look at this from the long view... not being on top of things as you are... and I see that God has been very gracious to...

marmeanders You sound like a lovely caring person; your friend is fortunate to have you, but you need this vacation! You are not only thinking of yourself! Everyone else in the party is confirmed to go, so you have a commitment to them as well. Your husband needs you, and...

marmeanders A true Christian always "has God." You simply are not in close fellowship with him since you allowed anger to fill your heart. The person who yelled at you was wrong, of course, but you responded by doing two wrongs! You allowed anger to fill you and to keep...

marmeanders Well... the Bible teaches that we are not to forsake gathering together with other believers; throughout the Bible, we are instructed on how to live "in community". Others can build us up and we can have the same effect on them. "Church" is not just for...

I have been a Christian for many years but I must say even though I have sat under many ministries I have never really felt there is a hell that is a place that exists. Let me explain. I love my Father in heaven. He provided...

marmeanders First let me say that the bible has more to say about hell than it does about heaven, therefore I believe it is a very real destination. The bible also teaches that hell does NOT exist for God's children. It is described as a place that was created for the...
