Re: Canada's 2016 Immigration Surge
"Small town life". Cold weather. We love the seasons. Cold weather controls insects. Canada hits all the pluses for us as we like those things. We aren't city types at all, obviously. :lol: I don't understand about those threatening to leave the USA. It sounds more like an old-fashioned te...

Re: Campground Ramblings
We had a call from the lady who left her abusive husband in that campground incident last year. She is doing well, has a job and is going to a local church with a support group for abused women. She sounded quite happy and was just calling to touch base with us and to see how we are doing. Her husba...

Re: Christian Fads
Is it possible that some of the nomenclature considered a fad are actually attempts by modern culture to describe old Biblical concepts? Modern culture has become more involved in using abbreviated language/lingo/bywords/catchwords to summarize complex or old concepts. Likewise I have seen a paralle...

Re: Peacemaking after the Election
. If we could spend some time mentally "putting ourselves in other people's shoes," I think some relational doors would open. Indeed. I think Christians who are serious about their discipleship try to do just that. Conversely, those who are not mindful of Jesus' directives tend to focus o...

Re: Definitions of Christian Discipleship
Kindly share your definitions/perceptions of Christian Discipleship: -what is it; -what are the responsibilities; -inward and outward signs of it. Sharing, (not argumentation and debating) is the focus of this thread. Recommended books and articles are welcome. Max, are you looking at the person do...

Re: Peacemaking after the Election
The biggest question is, where is the money going to come from for all this. Deregulation and removal of costly mandates. From info I've gleaned thus far, Trump plans to encourage new jobs' creation in smaller businesses by removing the financial burden exacted by Obamacare: cost would be the strok...

Re: MentorLink Leaders' Covenant
I agree Max, but when you consider the criteria that MentorLink uses for 'leaders' it is equally important that our daughters are mentored in a similar way to prepare them for what God has in store for them, even if it is 'only' to be the wife of a leader. In our family, that's DWs department :lol:...

Re: Does Scripture Support Praying "Against" Evil?
Here's a starter: Jesus taught in Matthew 6 9 “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. 10 Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread, 12 and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation...
