Re: Morals & ethics behind supporting certain mission efforts?

Here is my dilemma: I found a mission that goes out into the streets and helps these people with food and housing, counseling, etc. The kicker is, they supply these poor folks with clean needles and crack pipes to help stop the spread HIV and such. To that end, they also distribute Narcan to people...

Re: Is Biden Fit to be President?

If Biden wins again, the Cabinet and Vice President might need to invoke the 25th Amendment and declare him disabled and replace him with Kamala.

Re: Distinguishing Mountains from Molehills

It is important not to cause offense or put stumbling blocks in people’s paths. But we also cannot cater to the wickeds twisted sensibilities which are based on spiritual deception. We need to beware that there is for the unsaved, an inherent offense to the cross (Galatians 5). And that the preachin...

Re: Distinguishing Mountains from Molehills

[Looking back on the opening post it states 'it's about how to view and treat others who don't agree with us' . So, how did we do ?

Re: Distinguishing Mountains from Molehills

I can’t help but imagine that if your friend in this scenario were Jesus, what he might say to you. I wonder if he might say some like: “Sudsy, put up thy sword into the sheath.

Re: Distinguishing Mountains from Molehills

Those I believe we should turn the other cheek when they persecute us. But at the point of them killing me, which I have not experienced just only by their words, I suspect I would defend myself and am quite sure I would defend others around me from being killed also. I would try not, in this defen...

Re: Poll: Auto Accident Fatalities and Injuries

I’ve been looking into solar panels for my house. In this process of talking with solar companies, I’ve been told that the reason our previously affordable electricity rates have gone up 10% +/- last year and going up again 20% + this year, is for two primary reasons.
