Chat now has the option to select one of several different rooms / channels to chat in. In case one room gets busy, or you want to have a slightly less crowded conversation, you can change to use one of the other chat rooms. To do this, just select the room option below or to the right of where you type your chat. This will change your default view on any place on this site where the chat room is displayed. It includes the full page chat as well as the mini chat bar on the top of most other pages. When you switch rooms, your name will only show in the user list for the room that you are in.

Philippians~4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Proverbs~ 3:7 Be not wise in thine own eyes; fear the Lord, and depart from evil.

1st Corinthians~2:5 So that your faith might not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power

Ephesians~3:20 God can do abundantly more than you can imagine.

We spent so much time trying to be like Christ that we forget the whole purpose of our being. We see that Christ reacted a certain way, so we pattern ourselves in the same manner. We saw that Christ said this or that, so we say the same things that He says. We put so much energy in copying Jesus that we tend to miss the whole point of our existence. So what am I saying? I'm saying, that if we focus on Jesus rather than copying Him, we accomplish our goal of being Christlike. Jesus does not want us to act like Him. He wants us to BE like Him. When we copy Jesus, we are simply acting like Him. But, if we fall in Love with Him and focus totally on Him, then we, in a sense, become Him. Then we are actually BEING like Him.

But there was a certain man named ### who, with his wife, ###, sold some property. 2He brought part of the money to the apostles, claiming it was the full amount. With his wife's consent, he kept the rest. 3Then Peter said, "###, why have you let Satan fill your heart? You lied to the Holy Spirit, and you kept some of the money for yourself. 4The property was yours to sell or not sell, as you wished. And after selling it, the money was also yours to give away. How could you do a thing like this? You weren't lying to us but to God!" 5As soon as ### heard these words, he fell to the floor and died. Everyone who heard about it was terrified. 6Then some young men got up, wrapped him in a sheet, and took him out and buried him. 7About three...

3 Things I Wish I Knew Before We Got Married Tyler Ward By Tyler Ward January 23, 2013 Tyler lives in Nashville, where he creates and consults web-centric businesses. He writes to rebrand life within the heart, the home, and the workplace. I used to think I had my stuff together. Then I got married. Marriage is great—but it rocked everything I knew. I quickly realized my basic goal in life, prior to getting married, was to simply remain undisturbed. This “disruption” came suddenly and was disguised as a 5-foot-nothing Swedish-Filipino woman. When I decided I’d rather not live without her, I proceeded to ask her to marry me—that is, to officially invite someone who wasn’t me to be in my personal space for the rest of my life...
