Re: Bunny Trails

I think that was the one I drove across, years ago. But it wasn't as scary as the Jacksonville, FL, bridge, which has quite a rise in elevation, and the first time, it was very windy. You'd better believe I did some praying! :shock:

Re: Church good at evangelization

Work ethic. One fact that impressed me in the story of Joseph in Egypt is that Potipher could see Who was guiding his slave. Now his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD made all that he did prosper in his hand. [Gen 39:3 NASB20] And even in prison, his behavior reflected integrit...

Re: Church good at evangelization

Reading through the thread, I noticed the discussion about evangelisation on the job but there is a concern whether the employer feels it is inappropriate on “company time”. I wonder: when a Christian sets the example of a diligent work ethic as well as caring for his fellow workers, that can be co...

Re: Today ...

Today I found out that I had ancestors on both sides of my grandparents, on the Mayflower. My eighth great-grandfather was actually born on the Mayflower in Plymouth Bay. Also learned that the first group--the Separatists--named the two groups of passengers the Saints and the Strangers (I half expe...

Re: Another divorce question

And so far as the immoral character step-parent or unscriptural marriage partner, I would view the situation as similar to an official in the government who is immoral or a dictator-- we still obey those over us.

Re: Another divorce question

I do believe a child has an obligation to honor those in authority over them regardless of blood ties. Legally speaking, stepparents aren’t an authority over children either. They are an unrelated intruder who has moved into the house. This is how Scripture describes Jesus' relationship to both His...

Re: Poll: Jewelry, Rings, and Bands

I think some of the arguments here seem to indicate that wearing jewelry is inherently wrong, and has pagan origins. But look what God said to His people. I clothed thee also with broidered work, and shod thee with badgers' skin, and I girded thee about with fine linen, and I covered thee with silk....

Re: Experts Confirm Genesis 19, Biblical City Destroyed by Explosion 1,000 Times Larger Than Atomic Bomb

Nothing offensive in your post. :hug:

I stay away from stuff like that because I don't know what's going on with it. But as I say, I don't condemn it, for the same reason.
