]]> Comment on Coincidence? or God? – There are NO Coincidences by Jeff http://www.deeperbiblestudies.com/blog/general/coincidences/comment-page-1#comment-43 Jeff Wed, 21 Sep 2011 23:16:10 +0000 http://www.deeperbiblestudies.com/blog/?p=129#comment-43 I've recently rededicated my life to Christ, and have been doing quite a bit of reading, praying, and meditating. I have so many questions for God, and every so often I'll be thinking about, praying about or talking about some things that wouldn't come up in everyday conversation and the same topic will appear again a short time later. Just today I saw a few grasshoppers on my daily walk, a couple of times they even seemed to be following me. I never see them like that, and yesterday a friend and I were discussing something concerning the book of Revelation, where John speaks of grasshoppers during a time of war. We agreed that he was talking about helicopters and today there were all those grasshoppers! That would sound silly most other places, and that's only one example, so thanks for this blog, when I was reading the material and you mentioned animals, I thought "I'm reading about coincidence and here another one is"!! God is so good, and faithful. I’ve recently rededicated my life to Christ, and have been doing quite a bit of reading, praying, and meditating.

It's a very good example for us to forgive others even if the mistreated you. I love the story of Joseph. It’s a very good example for us to forgive others even if the mistreated you.

He gave his life to the Lord when he was 13 but ended up in a life of drugs and violence. He overdosed twice and was clinically dead but was found and revived. More powerfully though, when he was about 18 his uncle told him he needed to go to rehab and that he would take care of it. After spending time in rehab and feeling like he could get his life back on track he was ready to reenter the world, or so he thought. His uncle picked him up and within 1/2 hour his uncle gave him a bag of "new" dope that he wanted to sell and told my husband it would be good for him to test it since he was clean and could tell how good it was. My husband was shooting up 1/2 hour after leaving rehab and was seriously questioning why he wanted to live. He went to his dad's house and sat down at the kitchen table with a loaded 357 Magnum, as he put the gun to his head and prepared to pull the trigger he cried out to God and questioned if He was real. As he turned his head, finger on the trigger, he saw a picture on the wall that had never been there before, it was the picture of Christ knocking on a closed door. The part that stood out to him even through the agony in his heart was that the door didn't have a knob on the outside and he realized that it was his choice whether or not he let the Lord enter. He put the gun down and walked away and even though he continued to do drugs he ended up getting clean and has been for 8 years now. He moved up here from California and I met him, we got together but neither of us were believers even though I was raised in a Christian home. I knew there was a God but I was choosing my own path at the time. Just about 1 1/2 years ago we renewed our faith and the journey has been AMAZING, I now realize there is no such thing as coincidence. For the Lord to save my husband's life and then put us in each other's path is unbelievable and far from coincidence :) We are looking at going into ministry and my husband has a heart for evangelism and sharing his story and the gospel with others. Thank you Lord for having a calling on our lives that we didn't see before and for finding us worthy, not to mention accepting us back! All glory and praise to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!

A few years ago I was very down and out and one day when i was at my lowest and feeling like everything is coming to a breaking point, i went on my knees and asked God to step in. Not even 5 mins later I got a call from a friend that i have not been in contact with for a long time. He told me he needed me to write a song for a government project to encourage young people to do positve things in their lives. 3 months later it was done and i had a paycheck that paid the bills for the next 12 months! thought i should share that with you guys.

]]> Comment on Holy Ostracism…Not So Holy by Kevin http://www.deeperbiblestudies.com/blog/general/holy-ostracismnot-so-holy/comment-page-1#comment-37 Kevin Mon, 09 May 2011 06:59:50 +0000 http://www.deeperbiblestudies.com/blog/?p=72#comment-37 It's not that homosexuality is a much more grievous sin and holy ostracism isn't just to protect the body of Christ (all sin hurts the Body in some way), it's ACCEPTING sin that is the issue. Christians absolutely still struggle with sin, but when someone professes both Christ and still accepts their sin after being rebuked in love then holy ostracism comes into play. Here's a random link I found that looks at all the scripture around this: http://www.jerrybolton.com/tag/holy-ostracism/ Also Piper talks about holy ostracism in the context of homosexuality: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkSyjLtptSo soli deo gloria It’s not that homosexuality is a much more grievous sin and holy ostracism isn’t just to protect the body of Christ (all sin hurts the Body in some way), it’s ACCEPTING sin that is the issue.

One of the events encouraged me greatly - the other I do not understand the purpose of just yet - but I feel that He wants me to reach out to this person who has been brought into contact with me for some reason... Yes, I would agree that there are no coinidences with the Lord.
