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. So when the ...

I would advise my daughters that it would be wisest not to marry someone with a promiscuous past, but that it is not a sin to do so, particularly if there has been clear repentance and a lengthy period of proving oneself to be faithful.

What would be the nutritional effect of consuming a diet of those foods? Other than the beet eggs it is basically all sugar and carbs. What I remember from my Pennsylvania Dutch Menno grandmother was lots of home-cured country ham. Served for both breakfast and dinner. But maybe that was just her t...

There are political situations where it just doesn't work to try and live out your faith as a Chris...

I don’t hate Netanyahu. I do think he is a warmonger who has done much to hurt the cause of peace. And my opinion on that is almost entirely based on things (Jewish) Israelis have told me.
