Discussion on God speaking to us

October 29th, 2015

Jason Finch October 28, 2015 Hello brothers and sisters, I have a question that may be sensitive to some. Often I hear people saying, "the Lord told me..." And "God said..."

Ed Chait October 19. 2015 I received an interesting question and thought I'd post it for discussion. "I understand there's have question about related to sports such as "What does the Bible say about extreme fighting / violent sports?"
