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 ...

Re: Voting without warring

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

After my rant, I should add that I hope he isn't tossed in jail. That seems ridiculous.

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

The injury healed with the burdock leaf treatment, but it may also have healed with time without the burdock treatment. This is one of the problems I have with natural remedies. There just doesn't seem to be much double blind trials on this stuff. And without a baseline, these natural remedies just...
