Re: Spirit Led Christians

My Grandfather was a cantankerous, cynical man. He took enjoyment and found humor in hearing people say they were "Spirit led" to do something. When hardships and trials happened in their project, or when they back tracked, he would mock them laughing "The Spirit LED him there, then t...

Re: Spirit Led Christians

To say someone or a group of someones is Spirit led or not Spirit led to simplistic. We use these short cut terms in life and they have a place, but sometimes we need to stop and explain what is meant. Think of what is meant by the phrase, "a nice person". We don't mean to imply that the n...

Re: Highest calling?

A problem I have run across with some who put reflecting Jesus in their living before they preach the Gospel is that some never feel qualified enough to share about Jesus. They know they are imperfect saints and some of their sinning is something satan can use to interfere with any desire to share ...

Okay, but why do Christians need to take the positions that their vote is a result of the Holy Spirits leading? Sometimes I allow my children to decide a inconsequential decision by majority. Many times my coworkers decide where to have lunch by consensus or by majority. If I vote for eating lunch a...

Re: Questionnaire for folks who are Pro-Refugee

1. Do you like that your country/region has a cap on the number of refugees that can come into your region? Explain. Yes. I think it would be extremely disruptive to not have a cap. If things are getting out of control or needs are not being met or something, then maybe the influx should be stopped...

Re: Bunny Trails

Since, "...there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God." How much communion should we have in partaking of voting? And if our vote is different than who gets into authority; did we vote against God's will? Where do we draw the line with partakin...

Re: Voting without warring

Philippians 3:20a ...our citizenship is in heaven... Hebrews 11:13b-16 ...and having acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth. 14 For people who speak thus make it clear that they are seeking a homeland. If they had been thinking of that land from which they had gone out, they ...

We're seeing early budding of trees. They're beautiful along with the daffodils and crocus. It's been a long time since I saw the trees bloom with the daffodils.
Nature is indeed especially awesome in the spring!

Re: Amish Salve-maker in Jail, Facing Federal Prison
