Re: Canada's 2016 Immigration Surge
Does this fit the narrative you're trying to build with a snippet you heard? Watch: President Obama On Trump Win, Clinton Loss My wife saw Obama say it last September before Trump won, so no, that link does not apply. Post election, the players compete to appear to be the most gracious. That link r...

Re: Canada's 2016 Immigration Surge
i heard and saw it myself, so, accusations of slander do not resonate with me on this. Boot, you must be reeling in pain and disappointment. you voted for obama twice, and spoke bitterly about Trump. i have no desire to make this adjustment more painful for you, or others. just the opposite. i'm so...

Re: Definitions of Christian Discipleship
In the definitions of discipleship, how would you consider mentorship? Max, I don't want to run amok in your thread but I'd like to, if I may, re-quote Zodhiates' statement on the NT usage of disciple from the MentorLink thread. He said, "It means an adherent who accepts the instruction given ...

Re: Peacemaking after the Election
It also seems to me that Detroit, Flint and Michigan's other urban areas would be a ripe mission field being quite close to Ohio. Just saying. ;) I'm not quite sure what proximity to Ohio has to do with how ripe a mission field is. :-| I had in mind short mission trips to those areas in MI by the A...

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...
