Hello and welcome! I'm a new Christian myself, yet I have found so many answers on this forum. Enjoy your stay here!

I've read your testimony
"I am so thankful that Jesus found me and turned me on the right path. He had been knocking for so long and after many trial and errors I let Him in and let His Word speak to me and burdens were lifted from my shoulder."

Definitelly feel the same!!!!

Thank you very much!!!! :D

HI Tammy,
Keep looking to Jesus in all things in scripture , prayer & fellowship and he will do all things required for your good, may you be greatly encouraged in your life.
I am just back on this site a few weeks as time catches up with you in life but its really good and friendly. I've been christian for nearly 30 years, been widowed after less than year of marriage and married again for 22 years, also have had stammer all my life and this week am being made redundant b ut looking upwards all the way, looking for part time job so can take things easy & hoping to be involved in voluntary work in future.
God has been so good to me in all experiences of life, so keep looking to the prince of peace.
God bless you,
Gordon

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 9:10). Many people, myself included, needed that fear in order for our hard hearts to be penetrated. However, many times a translation uses the word "fear" it really means reverence. Sometimes it does indeed mean straight out fear, but most times it means to revere Him with awe.

Additionally, 1 John teaches us that as we grow and mature in the LORD, His perfect love will cast out the fear that we initially had of Him (1 John 4:18). As you get closer to God in your walk, you will trust Him more and more like a real father. His love will permeate your being and you will no longer have that fear you began with.

I'm a former punk-rocking child of wrath. I now only write music for the Lord. There is a musicians forum here you may want to check out.

Also, feel free to go to the Bible Study forum to ask any questions you have.

Thnx gordon and...byGraceAlone haha!

Yes, I've heard that we shouldn't be afraid of God cause he is love...there's many confusing things, but the main things are clear to me now.

I've checked the musicians forum, who knows, i might meet some musicians to start a band with here hehe!!!!

Cheers guys!!!!!!!!!!!
