Faith Kindred

@clairec Have you read the operation series? There are five books in the series and they are wonderful. The titles are Foxtrot Five; Delta Bravo; Alpha Papa; Tango Two Two; Uniform Echo. The author is DJ Stutley. If you haven’t read them, you should look them up. They are set in Australia too.

@jess Change of plans; I can write in 20 minutes if you want. I have some rewriting to do.
Anyone can join if they want.

Hey, is anybody going to the Noah conference?

@daeus, @jess, @clairec Just letting you all know, I won’t be writing today. Sorry.
@daeus, thanks for the points above. 🙂

@Daeus beautifully said. I couldn’t agree more. God doesn’t need us to ask Him— He wants us to because He is a Father, and He loves spending time with His children. Prayer is a form of worship.

So if we are sure we are right with the Lord and we ask Him for something, wouldn’t it be presumptuous to think He wouldn’t answer, rather than the other way around?

The logic here is backwards. We don’t make sure our hearts are in obedience to God’s will in every other area of our lives and then go to God and give him…[Read more]

@corissa-maiden-of-praise I’m saying God says wait……………………………. then He either says yes of no. And what God answers is always right, even if we don’t see it right there and then. Faith is to trust Him no matter what the answer is or whether we understand it or not.
Does that help you understand my pov?

Ooh, good discussion @Corissa-Maiden-of-Praise. I haven’t done a lot of thinking on this, but the first thing that popped into my head when I read your post was this verse:

The horse is prepared for the day of battle, but deliverance is of the Lord.
Proverbs 21:31

Quite simply, we are instructed to prepare and leave the rest to God. As @Hope is…[Read more]

@corissa-maiden-of-praise

Good question. I’ve actually just been thinking today how little I bring my requests to God when I should. It’s like I forget that God also has the name Father.

That being said, I know God sometimes has his people go through tough times, and sometimes what we want isn’t what God has planned. I don’t see any way we can…[Read more]

*this is a quote* “I heard a story once about two farmers who desperately need rain. And they both prayed to God for it. But only one went out and prepared his fields for it. Which one do you think trust God to send the rain?” (This is from Facing the Giants) 🙂

Is constantly praying for something a lack of faith? God…[Read more]

@corissa-maiden-of-praise Ooo, that is a tough question. Hmmm…

I could argue for both sides, so I guess I’ll start by asking is it a Biblical idea that preparing for an answer to prayer is a sign of faith. Or is it a sign of presumption?

I’ve not studied this but I think assuming the answer is a bit presumptuous. After all, when we’re asking…[Read more]

@ClaireC please don’t think I’m ignoring you. I’ll read this eventually; it’s just I’m incredibly busy lately and don’t have time for much extra. When I do read it, you may be sure I’ll tell you what I think. 😉

@Jess I’m contemplating reading it as well. Right now, I’m in the middle of reading the Fellowship of the Ring for the third time. 😉

@clairec Wow, I loved it! Great with the characters and the story! Keep writing because you’ve got a gift from God. 😉

@bluejay Ok, that helps me. Let me explain my thought process here.

First off, it’s great you’re having your mom give you input. I’m sure it’s already helped you grow a lot. One person’s input though is never enough to evaluate a story fully. Sure you can’t get tons of input on every story, but here is what I would suggest. Get one story and…[Read more]
