I want to tell you something that not many people know about me. I love to learn. Growing up I wasn't the person who liked study. When it came to passing classes, I did just enough to get by. Especially in high school. I was too busy hanging out with the guys, playing baseball and chasing girls. I did enough to graduate. My senior year I even had a severe asthma attack that kept me in the hospital for a week. Then I missed school for a week recovering, but doing homework from school. My Grannie passed away after I graduated and that's when I fell into darkness for next 15 years. In 2013 I gave my life to Christ and He saved me from dying. He called me to be a Christian counselor. You've heard that God qualifies the called. I decided to go to college and learn more on Christian counseling. I couldn't stop learning. I graduated with a Ph.D of Philosophy in Christian counseling. I maintained the attitude of wanting to keep learning. I have learned so much since becoming a Christian by people God has put in my life. Just the other day I learned something from @Calvin Hall that just blew me away. If you haven't had a chance to read his posts or talk to him, your missing out. He is a very wise man. Today I learned something about John 20:30. We have all read about Jesus performing miracles. Did you know the verse and next verse tells us He did so much more that is not in the Bible. Jesus told us enough and people at that time to believe in Him. Yet there were still people who didn't believe in Him after seeing these miracles. Questions I have: Did you learn something new today? Would you believe in someone who performed a miracle right in front of you?

I bought this T-shirt because I liked the saying. The saying has a personal meaning to me. If you saw these words, what would they mean to you?

@Robert Gault I love the work you are doing and helping people grow and follow Christ. Over your years of counseling, what has been the most rewarding aspect for you? What is your big idea for this community? How can we help you achieve it? Have you helped counsel many people with church hurt?

@Gordon Brooks Jr. Welcome to the community. This is a safe, no judgemental place. We talk about openly or privately about our faith, the Bible, any struggles we are having.This community is still in the process of growing. I am a Christian counselor if you need any help. You can learn so much from the members we have. If you have any ideas that would make this a better place, please feel free to share to share. Would you please introduce yourself, tell us about what you do, all that kind of stuff?

Matthew 19:26 ESV But Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” God is actually responding to his disciples' shock and concern. Just before this, a rich young man came to Jesus asking what he needed to do to gain eternal life. Jesus told him to sell his possessions and give to the poor, which the man was unwilling to do. The disciples then asked Jesus, "Who then can be saved?" because they understood how difficult it was for someone with many worldly attachments (like wealth) to follow Jesus's radical call. "With man this is impossible": -This refers to our human limitations, our inability to achieve salvation or truly transform ourselves through our own efforts or material possessions. It highlights that no amount of wealth, status, or good deeds done in our own strength can earn us entry into God's kingdom. • "but with God all things are possible": This is the hopeful and crucial part! It means that what we can't do, God absolutely can. He can change hearts, overcome our human weaknesses and provide the way to salvation and transformation. John 14:6 ESV Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. It emphasizes God's omnipotence and grace, offering hope that even in seemingly impossible situations (like a rich man giving up everything, or any person overcoming their sin nature), God's power can make it happen. Essentially, it's a profound statement about divine power overcoming human limitation, reminding us that salvation and true change are ultimately God's work, not ours. Your good works, money, or your status will not get you into Heaven. I've seen a young girl who was diagnosed with scoliosis after one scan, then after prayer her spine completely straight on another exam. A co worker of mine diagnosed stage 4 lung cancer who went through chemo and radiation treatment with no succes. Led to Houston by the Holy Spirit to find a different oncologist. He found one who suggested stem cell replacement. My friend has been cancer free for over 10 years.
