One of the purposes of this forum is to share God's faithfulness. I want you to encourage how Christ has sustained you during difficult seasons in your life.There was a young boy who was such a mess, physically, emotionally, spiritually, you name it. He heard a song called "It is Well with My Soul" and this young boy prayed for this peace, the peace that only Jesus could plant in one's heart.Although this was a sincere prayer, the young boy was already drowning in a sea of unbelief. The fruit of this unbelief drowned out this prayer.Yet through it all, God was faithful to this young boy and the Lord lovingly chastened Him in increasing intensity. Nearly 30 years passed and the Lord brought this man from the depths of the sea to the cross of Christ. This man cried out to God and the Lord forgive this man for the unbelief and all of the sins that had ensued. He planted this peace that only Jesus can plant in one's heart.This now middle-aged man sang "It is Well with My Soul" at this same church and the Lord called to rememberance the prayer of that young boy who sought the Lord for this peace that had been taken by unbelief.Yes, that young boy was me. I thank Jesus for being faithful to me and I want to remind you of His faithfulness. Psalms 89:1 " I will sing of the mercies of the Lord for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations." Beloved, he is [b]always[/b] faithful.

I do agree that sometimes debating can cause discensions and every type of evil thing (backbitting, gossip, etc). But at the same time fruitful discussion of the scriptures with an open mind can bring tremendous blessing
