Hey guys... onfire247 has not been on the site since the end of November. I felt immediately "uneasy" at his sudden quiet. Please join with me and lift him (and his family) in prayer. I do not know anyone who has access to his personal email to check on him. BUT GOD knows.....
AMEN and AMEN to all comments and your reply. To GOD be the GLORY!!! Great JOY to see your name and yes.... so thankful for this site and the richness of learning scripture with a community.
HEY EileenS... this is a great set, and the video link to the series is also good. Join with me in pray for onfire247 and his family. He has not been on this site since LATE November. Last post was Nov 19th. Everyday I check and say a prayer. But God knows......
DogLover. We rejoice that you are here and interested in memorizing scripture and would like to encourage you to dive deeply in the wisdom found within. Psalms and Proverbs are wonderful and will be a blessing to you. I will call to your attention that comments are visible to EVERYONE, not just that group. It is unwise to seek or give personal information. May the LORD guide and bless your study of scripture.
apologize Janet23 to jump in on your accomplishment but this chain is an amazing group of believers and i need to reach out. please join with me in prayer. Heavy feeling about the silence from OnFire. Have been praying for protection for him.... and his family. so maybe you can put my troubled heart to ease.... or join with me in prayer. thanks. ... BUT GOD...... knows
Am also working on Psalm 37 This week listened to Calvary Chapel Ontario's (Oregon) sermon on Psalm 37 -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tm_u22NtKP4 . Their archive has teaching sermons for every chapter of the Bible. They teach verse thru verse. The church's archive website: https://www.ccontario.com/through-the-bible I often use this church to help me as i prepare to learn scripture.
It's not about the zeros... but your passion for absorbing scripture. Rejoicing with you as you walk the narrow path and giving thanks that we are never alone. Prayers over you and yours.
Hello friend, please join with me in prayer. Odd feeling about the silence from OnFire. Hope that he (and family) are off in a secluded (no wifi) resort. Have been praying for protection for him.... and his family. I know ya'll chat, so maybe you can put my troubled heart to ease.... or join with me in prayer. thanks
thanks PeterP, Secundus and Wv. Giving PRAISE and thanks to the our faithful Lord and Savior. HE holds me and guides my step each and every day. Also thankful for this site and community--- it is such an important part of my day. PeterP- doubt much will change tho i have thought about spending some time reviewing-- maybe after the current chapter.
3 years! That’s amazing! I’m happy to congratulate you and rejoice with you as you store up God’s word in your heart. Will you continue the new-verse-each-day habit even though there’s no further badge to aim for?

Thank you OnFire! and PeterP. All Glory goes to God. HIS steadfast love will hold and guide us each day as we look for opportunities to serve HIM and make HIM known to a hurting world. Keep looking UP.
Congratulations indeed on finishing 1000! And thank you too for what you wrote in the Halloween discussion. Your love for your neighbours shines through so strongly. May God bless you continually as your learn his word and share his love.

i read this thread and had to go outside to pray over what to do or say. The sunset was healing. This is a very dangerous season and our children have been lured into horrible and sometimes life altering events. And yes... I WILL go there- this is a demonic season. Do not be fooled. I retired several years ago with 42 years as a public school teacher. Seen too much. So i will share with you how i handle this 'holiday'... I REFUSE to participate. Last week i made my deliveries... I make personal bags for children in my area-- crayons, markers, some treats and homemade journal/coloring sketchbooks or homemade playdough for the youngest. I share with the parents that because of my FAITH I do not participate but that i celebrate the gift that God has given them--- their precious children. I give the adults a jar of my canned goods- this year they could choose between mango salsa or pear butter with ginger. I tell the parents I will be praying for their child's safety that night. FYI-- i remind them that if they bring the jar back, i will offer them a new jar. An open invitation. Most have received bags of produce from my garden over the summer, so this is not unusual. Over the years I have had great JOY sitting on the porch in unexpected (God ordained) conversations. Or been blessed to find notes on my car door asking for prayer. I do believe we are called to stand tall for our faith and NOT conform.... I don't stand on my steps shaking my Bible in the air and preaching. Jesus calls us to LOVE and to lead. One little neighbor squealed so loud as i approached her house with my bag. she was shouting --Mom SHE'S coming. When I told her Jesus loves her, she smiled and said "I know," Worth all of the walking for this old lady. Thanks for letting me share.
