      I wish I understood this statement by Megan. Can anyone help me?

        I think there is supposed to be an attachment- maybe a picture?

    I really need some help with both of these passages, ladies. Some tough stuff today.

      If you’re talking about the 1 Corinthians 14:3,4,5…. Try looking it up in other translations. The Message cleared it up for me❤️

    2. Emily says:

      I had to read most of this in different translations: nkjv, NLT, amplified, and finally when I really didn’t get it, The Message.

      AND THATS OKAY!! It’s digging deeper and that in itself God loves!!! ” let your roots grow down into Him and let your lives be built on Him” (Colossians 2:7)
      Just a little encouragement, ladies!!
      God bless!!

      I recently finished a study on Judges done by Jen Wilkin from The Village Church and it really helped me understand what was going on throughout the book. In the book of Joshua, Israel is following the Lord and he is driving out their enemies out before them in miraculous ways. After the death of Joshua, there is severe spiritual deterioration that occurs with the Israelites throughout the book of Judges, as they turn from following God, no longer remember what He had done for them, and eventually everyone is doing what is right in his own eyes. The end of Judges is horrific, it shows the seriousness of sin and our inability to follow the Law, or even to remember God. It shows the depravity of the human heart and our desperate need for a Savior.

      As for the 1 Cor passage, I’m not clear on a lot of that either, I especially have questions about the restrictions on women in the church. We’re going through this book at church now, so I’m looking forward to the week my pastor preaches on this passage!

    God is always there but He cant do anything without us giving Him the permission to do so. Like we said before we always tend to go our way and sometime the pain and hardships are ways for us to learn and understand God. I notice that a lot of pain and hardship that we go through are because of the decision we made ourselves or because we tend to listen to the voice of others instead of God. Although it was painful for me to read this, I feel that the story has a great message. They could have ask God instead of deciding things on their own. Is important to remember that we should always ask God for wisdom and understanding. We should always put Him first and let Him guide us.

    I think it’s important to note also that God chose to preserve the memory of this woman and the atrocities that happened to her in His Holy text. He cares about her.

      I really like this thought. It’s true <3

    1C 14:19 “Nevertheless, in church I would rather speak five words with my mind in order to instruct others, than ten thousand words in a tongue”. Interesting point. Paul points to the fact that speaking in church is to edify (or rebuke) other believers. That doesn’t happen if they can’t understand what is being said :)

    As a follow up to what I posted earlier yesterday, I found comfort this morning in 1 Corinthians 14:33a “For God is not a God of confusion, but of peace.”

    I’m trying to remind myself this morning that that is really true.

    1. Holleewood says:

      Praise God for sending comfort in our times of trouble!

    2. Hesaved83 says:

      Amen, Lauren! In addition, He knows our hearts as well…( 1 Samuel 16:7, Hebrews 4:12-13)

  7. Hesaved83 says:

    “banish from our minds forever the common but erroneous notion that justice and judgment characterize the God of Israel, while mercy and grace belong to the Lord of the Church. Actually there is in principle no difference between the Old Testament and the New.” ~ A. W. Tozer
