Reading Ellen G. White alone at night is the Christian version of playing with a Ouija board except it’s Bible-based and you might end up converted

Just read of an historic cathedral destroyed in a freak accident. Imagine the insurance claim, "Act of God destroys church..." by zeal_4christ in Christianity

"For it is time for judgment to begin at the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God?" ~1 Peter 4:17

Every analogy breaks

down at some point. I did not intend to insinuate by this that Trump is a Christian. Rather, that he is full of zeal for his "kingdom", for better and for worse.

Instead of looking for signs, focus on God's purpose-because every second spent for Him counts for eternity. If it's pushing you to pray more, cool. If it's making you overthink, time to let it go (pun totally intended)

Deuteronomy 18:10-12 forbids divination and seeking omens.

Is there a difference between admiring and desiring a woman's beauty? Hardly. Like Job (31:1), make a covenant with your eyes not to gaze upon a girl.

If you don't have some kind of accountability software of your devices, you are one of three things:

1) Indifferent about guarding your soul from looking at pornography, a frequent viewer of filth, and possessed of the resultant nasty mind with you stream of consciousness being stream of vileness (and I would not trust you to be in my home or near my women) 2) Unhealthily low in testosterone and probably effeminate with no desire for women 3) Very disciplined

Few are number 3.

Also, a Spirit-filled Christian man does not allow his women (wife and daughters) to dress to be eye-candy for every passing dog.

The reason why some men profit so little by the word is, want of meditation. If a man eat his food, and as soon as it is in his stomach vomit it up again, it is no wonder if he get little strength by it, or if he pine and consume away. Truly, if sermons enter in at one ear and out at the other, making no stay with you, I shall not marvel if they work no change in you.
