[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So how does Dr. Charles Stanley know that all of this is true?

It's comforting, but it sounds like a bunch of reasons to keep believing in God when it's starting to look like no one is up there listening.[/quote]

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Hebrews 11:1[/quote]
And "without faith, it is impossible to please God."
--Hebrews 11:6

I second the PP who said he's very glad in retrospect that he didn't get what he's prayed for at times. I have the same experience, and I can see in hindsight that the "something better" answer is definitely true sometimes. I don't know about the OP's employment. Does OP trust in Jesus? That's God's son, and the Bible is clear that if we trust in Him, we have not only salvation, but that God adopts us as His children and takes care of us. Matthew 6:33: "But seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things (that is, our needs) will be added unto you." But the Bible is also clear that if we do not trust in Christ, we remain enemies of God. If you're praying for something without Christ, you need Christ first.[/quote]

In other words, forget it, Jews and other non-Christians.  If you think it's bad that God doesn't answer your prayers how and when you'd like, just wait to see what he has in store for you after you die!

And keep in mind:  He loves you.[/quote]
Yes, He loves you. That's why He sent Christ to die on the cross for you. Romans 5:8: "For God commends his love for us in this, that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Christians are commanded to love our enemies, and this is because this is the very character of God Himself. The only thing keep anyone from Christ is himself. Christ freely offers Himself and salvation to all. The reason for anyone not to turn to Christ is because he doesn't want to admit his sin and turn from his own efforts to save himself. God does not accept our good works, because they're so tied up in our bad works, too. All we need to do is trust in the perfect righteousness of Christ, God's own son, and we can have a relationship with God the Father. But how can you say you love God and hate (or disregard) His son?[/quote]
