Re: Will the issues you care about be priorities for a Trump-family run RNC?

We watched a really good interview with Donald Trump the other day. It was an hour long- the food thing about an interview vs a rally or speech is the interviewer can ask tough questions. They cannot (as often happens) take a line out of context and twist it. I was really impressed with his answers....

Re: Agreement

Jesus didn't go anywhere private to call out the Pharisees for their error. And I would highly advise you to stop calling people "angry" just because they call you out for inconsistencies or because they point out the wrongdoing of the RCC. Ken S, Jesus' dealings with the religious leader...

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: Agreement

.. This forum is not a fine example of spiritually mature believers .. strongly disagree. these outnumber others, but aren’t the noisiest. it’s what you look for. being it’s so bad here, why not shake the dust, as is often suggested? if not, it might be well to question what is so magnetic/irresist...

Re: Church good at evangelization

I think it is possible to ask questions of customers, fellow employees, and supervisors when the timing is right without it being a problem. A friend of mine took homemade cookies in his lunch, and read the Bible silently in the lunch room. His fellow employees wanted some of his homemade cookies. ...

Re: Church good at evangelization

Interesting how you listed 3 gigantic corporations for your example. Why do you find that interesting? Well over half of all jobs in the US are for corporate or public sector employers. Wal-Mart alone employs more than 1.5 million people. You may not like that but it is the reality. And the percent...

Re: Church good at evangelization

Our church strongly encouraged sharing the Gospel- we have to keep in mind that God cares about these souls more than we do- He is involved in the process! Thanks for the bible word. Sounds like a nice church of yours, that encouraged sharing the Gospel. Also want to be in a church like that. My “l...
