I like a simple approach such as seek the Lord's guidance as that is what He sent us the Holy Spirit for. I believe I would have avoided much suffering regarding marriages if I had just trusted that the Spirit is given us to lead us in the way that we should go and sought His guidance. And how is t...

Is it possible to forgive someone who has not sinned against you? I don't think so. Is it unforgiving if I turn down proposals of marriage from prisoner with heinous pasts? Even if they have made a profession of faith and are attending chapel (so they say). Most professing Christianity have, when re...

Years ago I paid for the only ticket I've ever gotten, even though I'm pretty sure it wasn't a legal citation. The state highway spokesman told me that if you are in the intersection while the light is still yellow, you cannot be ticketed. However, I didn't contest it because I couldn't prove it. Th...

And now he's arrested for killing his cousin? Another attempted church shooting, in Louisiana, thankfully stopped by parishioners. A friend of mine in South Africa, also at a church, was with a group in a township when someone tried to steal his cell phone. He prevented the would-be thief and ran, b...

This is not exactly on topic, but close. In morning prayers, my mom prayed, "You told me I could come Home today." And she did.

Each method of transportation h...

I'm not sure I agree with that. Do we not as Christians have a responsibility toward those we love if we see them choosing a dangerous path?

How would correcting others on this forum fit into this? Should only the mods do that?

Conversion to Islam is a practice which is common to African-Americans in prison. J. Michael Waller found that Muslim inmates comprise 17–20% of the prison population, or roughly 350,000 inmates in 2003. Waller states that these inmates mostly come into prison as non-Muslims. According to him, 80% ...

I think that was the one I drove across, years ago. But it wasn't as scary as the Jacksonville, FL, bridge, which has quite a rise in elevation, and the first time, it was very windy. You'd better believe I did some praying!
