I'm confused!
“Life is like a peanut butter sandwich.”
No, life is more like a crap sandwich. The more bread you have, the less crap you have to deal with.
> BACON!
I’ll second that!
Why don’t you post an easier question like “What is the secret to understanding women?”
“Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” ping!
Are you making fun of me?
Could be bacon. It used to be free cheese. But I still think at least 51% of the electorate would go with food stamps.
90% in Detroit.
why would you ask that?
i am just trying to encourage discussion of deep philosophical questions on this thread.
To speak the truth of Gods plan of escape for peoples doomed future. Jesus lead a perfect life, he took the punishment we deserved because of His great mercy, and He conquered death on the cross so we could have eternal life if we have faith, and walk that narrow road with Him. For that we give thanks and praise, loving all people and knowing all have eternal souls and will be with God eternally or alone without God in eternal regret and suffering. That is why we must have compassion and pray for our enemies. They are blinded by the evil one. We live to praise God for who He is and all He has done.
life: may not be much, but it beats the only known alternative
Upgraded: it is now Bacon and Swiss
We can only do so much. I wrote this on another thread.
So many people don’t think God can turn this around. FR seems to be the place of hope. Defeatist don’t see a way out or maybe they are trolls discouraging people. Here’s my reply to those who see no hope.
To turn this around will take brave patriots who will stand against the left and the leftist in the Republican Party. Those who want to go along to get along need to leave it to those willing to fight for our freedoms, our children and our faith. The Boehners, McConnells, Roves, McCains and Graham’s,.....who do exactly what the left wants, need to go, so the TRUE conservatives can fight the battle. We first have to clean our house to take down the lefts house. Also remember, we have the one true God on our side.
When someone is coming for your kids, you fight to the death. They are coming for them and we cannot give up! This a political, cultural and spiritual fight. We need to rally the troops around us with the truth, righteousness (which means fighting for what is right and that is definitely not what has been going on for the last five years-remember Jesus turned over the tables with righteous anger), the spirit of God will lead us and we must have faith that God is with us in this fight, always knowing that whatever happens we have salvation through Christ (if you don’t know where you will go when you die, just ask.
I know this sounds preachy, but if you can’t see the spiritual side of this, you don’t understand why it’s so important for the left to culturally destroy our nation, focusing first on our children. Abortion, homosexuality, call good evil and evil good......Wake up church and get spiritually armed for the battle! We must first start with prayer. A simple prayer in faith is heard by God.
Without Gods help we are doomed.
The meaning of life for you is going to depend upon what God’s will has in store for you.
It’s not an easy question, and God knew it wasn’t going to be an easy question.
It’s easy to walk with God, hear His teachings from His own mouth through Jesus, and do what He asks. There’s no ambiguity.
What is hard is praying for ears to hear His will, the wisdom to understand it, and the courage to carry it out.
As such, for you, I pray that the Holy Spirit intervenes for you and dumbs it down for you like you were a 4-year old. That is certainly what I ask for, and you aren’t asking for anything Jesus didn’t say wasn’t going to work.
He said that unless you make your hearts like that of a child . . . .(paraphrasing).
We’re sheep. We believe but we are scared. He knows that.
Perfectly legitimate question.
If your day isn’t going well, then go out of your way to help someone else for a change of pace. Go volunteer at a men’s shelter, or something that takes the emphasis off of you and onto someone else.
As soon as you look at someone else and think, “What’s God’s role for that guy?” as you are ladling out soup to him, it all of a sudden hits you that, for today, your meaning was to help that poor guy get ready to fulfill HIS meaning in life.
God bless you for asking the question. God loves you, knows you personally, and has a unique and critical need for you in His creation. It took courage to ask the question, and it is worth asking every day.
Question authority, by all means. God can take the scrutiny when everyone else cannot.
By searching.
