A wonderful daily devotional to set up Christians for the day, god bless you..

First topic message reminder :

May
Luke 13:11
And behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bent over and could in no way raise herself up.
Imagine being bowed over for 18 years. All you would see is the dust on the ground. That was the predicament of the woman in Luke 13. Dust was all her eyes fell on, all the time, everywhere she went, until she became dust-conscious. Thank God she finally saw the beautiful feet of Jesus, who brought her good news and raised her up.

Now, dust is the devil’s food. The Bible tells us that God cursed the devil to eat dust all the days of his life. (Genesis 3:14) Dust represents death. (Genesis 3:19) The devil wants you to be like him—to fall flat on your belly, crawl and eat dust. To eat dust is to feed on your shortcomings and lack, until you constantly feel that there is so much in your life that you need to clean up. You may not be physically bowed over, but like the woman, you become dust-conscious and life every day is a struggle.

Having a dust-consciousness also affects the way you see others. You look at people’s faults all the time. You point out their shortcomings and rake up their past failures. When you are dust-conscious, you find your relationships robbed of peace and joy.

And if you, like the woman, keep looking at the dust, before long, that inward position of dust-consciousness becomes so entrenched that you become the devil’s food because dust is what he eats. God’s Word describes him as being like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. (1 Peter 5:

If you don’t want to be devoured by him, then lift your eyes above the dust! Instead of looking at your failures, look to Christ who has delivered you from every defeat. See yourself the way God sees you—righteous and holy in Christ. (Colossians 3:12; 2 Corinthians 5:21) You are not dust because you are not in and of the flesh—you are in and of the Spirit. (Romans 8:9)

My friend, the more you realize who you are in Christ, the more you will straighten up and walk the way God sees you—a new creation with His authority, power and overcoming Spirit!

Thought For The Day
Instead of looking at your failures, look to Christ who has delivered you from every defeat.

well i made a daily devotional for moslems so veya can post insulting cartoons up about mo , lets see if he has the guts to do it eh xx

I'D like to see him do that.

I think this thread should be a nice one, not one to take the piss. I also enjoy reading the posts, although I don't post on it much myself.

Thank you Raggs, veya likes posting taking the piss and we don't often say anything about it .

Again, for Veya, as I, sure he wouldn't like to be seen to be picking on only ONE group of people!!!

Yes. So many versions of religious books.....
I think that's why a lot of people are scratching their heads over Muslims too; they don't seem to agree on which book they're following.

Can you find any cartoons about Muslim fanatics?
Your cartoons are ever so funny!

Why does Veya have to pick on anyone? This thread is supposed to be a pleasant one, not one for taking the piss or picking on anyone.

Exactly.

veya and Ben have taken the piss out of this thread posting jokes about Jesus .
I have no problem with jokes as long as they're not blasphemous , but veya posts blasphemous pics and i have yet to see him post the same in the islam daily devotional which i started for moslems .

@eddie

Why are you inticing hatred?

Why not just tell Veya not to post anti Christian stuff?

Don't you think there's enough anti Muslim stuff already that you now want to see extra?

Ffs thought you had a brain in that head of yours!

there is far more hatred towards Christians than there is moslems , you should feel safe you have veya and Ben on your side so why the victim card ?

It's strange how you never speak out about the anti-Christian stuff. Veya thinks I should speak out about the anti-Islam stuff though.

Double standards ...

Well this thread is pretty much wrecked because of a moderator - strange that.

Yes she does - she had a go at your mate, Didge, not long back for insulting Islam, and she's just complained about eddie as well.

Your reading is also very selective.

and no she didn't to eddie.
she made a fair statement.
there is enough anti Islams stuff from Smelly and TM.
VOD and HF bring their religion up for mockery every day.

SM and zack didn't start a thread to post bible quotes. Considering the posts from many on here, I am surprised how well SM and Zack take the mocking of their religion, they take it much more maturely than you or VOD and HF

She complained about eddie "inciting hatred". So if I complain about you inciting hatred of Christians, that's just a fair statement then.

As VOD said, there is more criticism of Christianity on here from more people. There have been a few times when there was very little else on here.

yeah and eddie is clearly blind to all the ignorant posts about Islam that far out number the posts on Christianity

And how may post from Muslims going on about how great Islam is?

Islam is not as offense because the Muslims on this forum are not trying to preach it, they defend it, they don't go starting daily devotional and other crap.

I don't think he should be posting any horrible stuff about any religion.

so you have a problem with people going on about what they believe in then?

Best you shut the fuck up then about your beliefs.

And both you and SM clearly don't get sarcasm!

I have a hard time as it is defending my own religion so no I don't really have the time to defend yours. I have never asked you to defend mine have I ? So you clearly don't know the meaning of double standards do you?

I don't attack anyones religion even though mine is attacked here daily

I had a go at Didge because he lost it in an argument when there was no need for it at all.

In regards to eddie I was informing her of inciting hatred when there was no need for it.

You should be honoured they set up a whole thread to mock Islam and want your input in it!

Talk about hypocrisy and they have the friggin audacity to play the victim card!

And that was my point to Veya!
He mocks Christians and has the doibel standards of leaving all other religions alone.
Nobody should have their religion mocked daily. It's actually paramount to harassment.
My post was sarcastic - I though everyone would've guessed that by my last comment to him.

Well if that's your logic, the athiests are far more offensive than anyone else on this forum because they're constantly preaching at others and trying to get Christians and Muslims to denounce their faith.

The other day Veya complained that I didn't "get" that he was being ironic when he attacked Christians, and now it seems that he doesn't get what I'm saying, and neither do you.

The double standards I was referring to are coming from Veya, not you.

I don't attack Islam, and yet he thinks I should be defending it rather than just defend my "own kind", which apparently makes me "racist" according to him. He should therefore really accuse you of being racist for not defending Christians - according to his own logic.

VOD is being ironic. She's saying that as Veya attacks and mocks Christians on a daily basis, he should do the same to Muslims - as he doesn't approve of either religion.

So next time you get upset about Muslims being mocked and abused, I'll just say "cheers".

You had a go at Didge because you thought he insulted you personally - because he insulted Islam. You also had a go at Nicko for calling Zack "Muslim scum". You complain often enough, like you complain about those who won't defend the stone-throwing Palestinians.

But you're posting on this thread which is attacking my faith , you're winging about islam being ridiculed by your comment to eddie and you managed to swear too , nice going eh

Get it right , i set it up not both of us , are you having trouble reading now and why do you keep playing the victim card .

The point is that this thread is supposed to be a nice one for Christians to read. It's not attacking any other religion, and the people who post the quotes aren't trying to convert anyone. The Islam thread could be the same if people wanted that.

There's an atheist one for atheists to do the same, although it's difficult for them to celebrate atheism without mocking or insulting religion of course. The pagan one seems to be fairly trouble free.

If the likes of Veya can't even keep off one thread, it says more about him than it does about the people who post in this thread.

Veya can't keep off any thread, first thing in the morning when I log on almost every thread has a comment by this dipstick!!

It seems didge can't either .

Didge is like Veya - neither of them can stand anyone having religious faith. They want to force their own militant atheism on those who do have faith. They're envious of course - that's why they want to destroy religious faith.

Actually I think religion is fair game to take the piss out of.
Nothing is beyond taking the piss and there is lots to take the piss out of religious beliefs
If you set up a thread which is promoting bullshit, then do not think others will counter the nonsense being promoted.
I do not care what people believe as long as its personal belief, but if you start a thread trying to promote Christianty as somethihg good, then it will be ridiculed.

Best you get used to that

I agree thanks

and God bless you

It's paramount to harassment.

If a Muslim or a Jew joined here and posters were ridiculing them, those posters would be reported.
