A CHRISTIAN THREAD

[tom_no.1]

Welcome to a place where Christ should be exalted and "Self" should be abased!!

Welcome to a place where the BIBLE can be discussed rationally, intelligently, and positively without unnecessary argument!!

Welcome to a place where prayer can be requested and encouraged!!

Welcome to a place where positive and encouraging thoughts from scripture can be shared in a caring and loving way!!

Welcome to a place away from all the arguments, recriminations, and negativity of the outside world!!

Welcome to a place of rest and safety!!

Welcome to a place where Philippians 2:3 is practiced: "Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves."

Welcome to this Christian thread.



(Please leave all aggression, bitterness, and philosophy outside the door and please wipe your feet before coming inside!!)


  

I live in my own little world. But it's OK... They know me Here!

Trupti, you have to consider the source of this nonsense...Jerry Falwell...PULEEZE. The man forms a group called the MORAL MAJORITY.....who made him King of the Universe? He's anti---everyone who isn't exactly like he is. ______________________________________________________________________________

Mr. Valve.... You can't honestly say you believe anything Falwell says can you ???
Just my opinion but I think the guy is a religious fanatic psycopath who has NO IDEA what HE is taking about. I have watched him before and thought he was a complete fool.
I would take the opinions of a pail of garbage more seriously that any opinion of Falwell.

I'm not Catholic, but I am very fond of this prayer of St. Francis of Assisi--13th century.

Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace:
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and were there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Amen

[squiddley_diddley]

That's one of my favourite prayers too. Plus St. Francis gets bonus points in my book for being an animal lover (lol).

[survivornikki]

Mine too Lucie!

[midlife*mom]

Thank you for the prayer...and...nice snipe, Nikki! ;)

He was just a little boy on the week's first day.
He was wandering home from Sunday School, and dawdling on the way.

He scuffed his shoes into the grass; he found a caterpillar.
He found a fluffy milkweed pod, and blew out all the "filler."

A bird's nest in a tree overhead, so wisely placed on high...
T'was just another wonder that caught his eager eye.

A neighbor watched his zig zag course, and hailed him from the lawn;
Asked him where he'd been that day and what was going on.

"I've been to Bible School," he said and turned a piece of sod.
He picked up a wiggly worm replying, "I've learned a lot of God."

"M'm very fine way," the neighbor said, "for a boy to spend his time."
"If you'll tell me where God is, I'll give you a brand new dime."

Quick as a flash the answer came, nor was his accent faint:
"I'll give you a dollar, Mister, if you can tell me where God ain't."
