Re: Fleshly discipline to help spiritual discipline?

I`d overlooked that verse. The NASB version has a different emphasis than the others though. It`s almost saying, "don`t bother with bodily discipline because it has only limited use. The other two imply that it is worth attention because it is of some value. My hunch is also the same as Matt`s. If I...

Fleshly discipline to help spiritual discipline?

I find that if I have exercise my body well, eat and drink healthily and abstain from sexual impurity (the list could be bigger but those would be the three cornerstones for me), I can more readily discipline myself to the task of prayer, reading the Word and so on.

Re: Mental health and the Fall

I didn`t take it that way at all. It was my own train of thought, and that`s good eh? You (and others I read in these forums I must add) are helping to reshape my thinking, remould my prejudices. I would never have guessed this when I first clicked on your website and saw the moving text bottom left...

Re: Mental health and the Fall

Thank you for your welcome Jason. Thank you for your detailed and thorough reply Steve. In my friend Will`s case, spiritual warfare was mentioned and that "there will always be losers in any war" though I know the person speaking those words meant only temporary losers (during their earthly tenure)....

Mental health and the Fall

I am the self-confessed backslidden Englishman whose e-mail Steve read out last week. I had intended my first post to be something else, but a lady`s call on last Wednesday’s broadcast sent my thoughts back to an issue closer to my heart. Her daughter had taken her own life. Likewise so did a good f...
