A Story On God’s Faithfulness
It’s so easy to get impatient with God. We can start to feel like God is holding out on us or that he doesn’t care about what we feel because we don’t see immediate answers to our prayers and our situations may not go the way we want them to go.
Dare I say that God is faithful still?
If you need an illustration of Gods faithfulness...
proverbs 31- ignore this post posting for myself
These are just some attributes of the proverbs 31 woman i noticed. I’m not saying you have to be all of these things to be Christan or accepted by christ, but I just wanted to look at her and pick apart her character not just the things she does.
Trustworthy. Faithful. Hardworking. Dedicated. Works for others (serving others in her household food). decisive (buys field). Strong. Perceptive. ...

Unka Glen's Citadel of Enlightenment:... →
unkaglen:
thatgeekfromcollege asked: I just recently found your blog, and it’s awesome. And to cherish this moment further, I just need to ask one question. Is it possible to be a Christian and be an evolutionist? I’m not saying that I am but I just recently studied evolution during my spare time,…

Part VI--Becoming Human (Our Kingdoms)
thebeeble:
Before going any more into what God’s Kingdom might look like, I think it is important first to decide what our kingdoms look like—and I’m not talking about physical governments and kingdoms (although a lot of times they can be the offspring of our own little kingdoms), but I’m talking about small personal, and community kingdoms that we set up—the ones that we allow to completely...

003 - I Was Adopted.
Yes, I have felt the sting of rejection. I have been labeled a loser and an outcast. I have known the throbbing ache of loneliness and I have been told that I simply don’t fit in here. Sometimes, I have felt as if no one gets me, no one understands me and what’s worse,…

Christian married sex is still the best
unkaglen:
graceforwildflowers asked: How do you respond to the “you have to try the car before you buy it” rationale when talking about purity, sex and marriage?
Unka Glen answered: I respond by placing my open palm in front of my mouth and making a loud, trumpet-like farting sound.
It’s more effective in person, but you get my drift. This “try it before you buy it” business is based on...

The Subject of Salvation
youmadethemoonandthestars:
Islam: The Muslims believe that you can earn your salvation and pay for your own sins through human works. If your good deeds out do your bad deeds you will eventually get to heaven after spending sometime in hell.
Hinduism: The Hindus believe that salvation can be achieved by one self, by devotion, works and self control. Salvation in Hinduism is called Moksha,...

freedom
so-journ:
In all this questioning my religion I’ve found that there is two types of freedom to be yourself and freedom from yourself. If that’s not freedom I don’t know what is.
what I mean by that is that when you aren’t religious you don’t have any type of book or guidelines to go by. you get to choose your own path and it doesn’t have to be the narrow path, it can be the wide path, or a path...
What is being saved all about?
unkaglen:
cousined asked: So, I feel like I should know the answer to this and already do possibly. But when people say all you gotta do to be saved is accept Jesus, and that there’s no extra stuff after that, what does that mean exactly? What comes with accepting Christ?
Unka Glen answered: Well, it’s actually a good question, what you’re asking about is being saved by grace (undeserved...

The grace/sin issue
I feel as if i want to understand the grace/sin relation better. Idealistic, when we accept christ and fall under grace sin becomes a non-issues because we are so in love with God. But i think realistically people still struggle with sin and it does take some will power not to sin. It it can become lawful/legalistic again easily.
I sometimes wish Christians gave a better...

A question I struggle with.
ladyonthestreet:
John 17:12, Jesus is praying for his disciples shortly before he is arrested.
“While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by[c] that name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled.”
What kind of God do Christians worship, who is willing to send someone to hell in order to fulfill words written on...
