And have you forgotten the encouraging words God spoke to you as his children? He said, "My child, don't make light of the Lord's discipline, and don't give up when he corrects you. For the Lord disciplines those he loves, and he punishes each one he accepts as his child."
�Hebrews 12:5�6
Storms will come in life in the form of a hardship or crisis or even tragedy. There will be times when we can anticipate the storm, when we see the clouds start to darken and hear the thunder in the distance. At other times, a storm will arrive unexpectedly. But there is no getting around the fact that we will go through storms.
We will bring some storms on ourselves as a result of our actions. We will do something wrong, it catches up with us, and we face the consequences. A classic example of this is Jonah. God called him, an Israelite, to go and bring a message of repentance to the great city of Nineveh. But the people of Nineveh were enemies of Israel. So Jonah reasoned that if he preached to the Ninevites, they would probably repent and God would spare them. On the other hand, if he didn't preach to them, they wouldn't repent, and God would destroy them. That would be one less enemy Israel would have to worry about. So Jonah boarded a boat that was traveling in the opposite direction.
A terrible storm arose, which was so severe that even the seasoned sailors began to call upon their various gods, hoping for deliverance. Ultimately it was determined that the storm they were facing was a result of Jonah's disobedience. So Jonah was thrown overboard, and you know the rest of the story.
That is what we would call a correcting storm. Correcting storms are reminders that God loves us. If God didn't love Jonah, He wouldn't have sent a storm. But He wanted to get Jonah's attention and get him back on track. So if you find yourself in the midst of a correcting storm, know that it is because God loves you.
I want to repeat how the true christians should live. They should live GODLY and HOLY Lives:
Blessings to the true christians.
To those who pretend to be christians but disobey God and do not love people I want to share what i said the other day:
Hi sister,
are right.
Can you imagine i saw such christians in church...that's why i left this church.
People made of church a madhouse.
We should stop this madness in church or we will be accessories of their crimes and God will judge us.
Yes, we will not insult in return and not offend. But we will say the truth and this Truth will condemn them and judge them.
If we will not be judged by ourselves now, then God will judge us.
Our life is a constant confrontation with God. He confronts us by saying us our sins to make us perfect and HOLY people of God.
Those, who confront Him and do not want to conform to His Truth, condemn themselves. And God condemns them: John 3:16-21
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
�He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.
But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.�
You're still here? Was that an idle threat or an outright lie? Are you the author of this post or somebody else? Why are you throwing pearl to swine like you claimed you were doing in previous posts? Are you three self righteous ones taking different shifts? Don't the Muslims want to hear you? :waving:
If you will not apologize for your words said to Ella, I will not communicate with you all guys on this Forum. Because it will prove me that you are not a Christian. And we should not communicate with such people who know what is right and they deliberately do not do it..."
So-Called Christians

"Ella hi,
they are not christians. We testified them and Jesus did it through His Scripture.
They do not know Him. They are fake christians and their ignorance will kill them.
I should not be among those who do not want to know God!
I am going to go to those who will listen to me- Muslims and the true christians.
Even christians do not want to listen to God's words!!!! Amazing!
I saw this in church and now here.
Jesus will strat judging them from church and it is correct.
They do not know God because they do not love people.
It is the same as to trow pearls to swines and dogs.
Their posts are terrible and they cannt understand that....amazing!
For the record,some of he people that you have attacked funded my mission trip to help clean up after a tornado destroyed Joplin, Mo. They all told me that God told them to help me. So, how can they not be beievers when God told them in their prayer time to help me out.
You need to answer this bahira.
Chevy did apologize in a recent post, but you ignored it. Then you continued to accuse him, Why?
Otherwise, practice what you preach.
I have never heard you ask for forgivness on this site.
Take a lesson from Paul, he said he was the chief sinner, that was a big hint. if you understand English I know you will reply.
