Thank you all for your posts. Does this song resonate with anyone? (“He gives us all His love”) Blessings.

Thank you for your post. Help me understand why the prices of cars made in the U.S will increase. Peace.

Thank you for your post. All good points. These new tariffs are meant as reciprocal tariffs. If various countries (who have had their tariffs in place all along) are depending on the wealth from selling us goods, they might consider lowering their tariffs, and then so will we (see news re...

Thank you for your post, and welcome to this forum. Blessings.

FYI: Professor Michael Behe has documented a number of tiny biological systems that are not just complex, but they have no function if just one element is missing. One of my own examples: purple photosynthetic bacteria. A tiny solar-powered valve ejects hydrogen ions from the cell, creating a pH...

Figurative woke—being socially and politically awake, or aware—started emerging in Black English at least by the 1940s. A 1943 article in The Atlantic quoted a black United Mine Workers official from 1940 playing with woke in a metaphor for social justice: “Waking up is a damn sight than going...

Thanks, but no. (At least we don’t have anyone lobbying for “gender-fluid” etc.) As for the women’s section: I apologize for occasionally replying by mistake to a great post.

There is even a third hymnal for the “blended” or contemporary Methodist churches, “The Celebration Hymnal.” Interestingly, the British Methodists have an almost completely different hymnal. (Note aside: for the traditional church musician, having a collection of hymnals old and new provides...

Yes! And rulers, too. (“You need not worry about a thing; the government will take of you.”)

“By their fruits you will know them”!!!

Thank you for the reminder! Might Could this be a metaphor for the dangers of being led mindlessly by “hypnotic“ (charismatic) preachers?! Deuteronomy 13: 1 If a prophet, or one who foretells by dreams, appears among you and announces to you a sign or wonder, 2 and if the sign or wonder...

Agreed, but: widows at any age can receive benefits if they have a child who is under age 16 or who became disabled before age 22.

Thank you for the wise comments. On the one hand, you are correct that some discussion and comments here are anything but gentle, and one wonders if some members truly understand Love Your Neighbor. It is all “Woe to you . . . .” There are way too many accusations of insincerity. On the...

The text is Luke 10: 38-42. (See below.) My heart goes out to Martha and all like her. She (they) wanted to be a proper hostess, as was the custom in that culture. She was overwhelmed by her visitors and was totally flustered. Ok, complaining to Jesus was uncalled for. Instead, “stiff...

Thank you for your novel question. Certainly they knew the one and only God, but that is not sufficient (see previous post). There was and is other monotheistic beliefs In our world. Peace.

Thank you all for your posts. If the forum women want to be able to chat in a corner by themselves, it doesn’t bother me (it happens all the time in life). I can’t imagine the need for a men-only forum, despite Judeo-Christian heritage. Is there other woke-ness? From what I have perceived...

Thank you for your post. Glad to hear you are enjoying your time serving and being served. But : Is this church more than just a social club? Is there a special spiritual dimension? Blessings.

Thank you for the post and question. Pearl has it right: Love is at the center for Christians and is based on the essence of the law. Recall the Jesus said that on the two great commandments (Love God and Love Your Neighbor) hang all of the law and the prophets. So, for example, Commandments...

Well, if there are any mistakes—such as a simple typo in the database, effectively adding 30 - 50 years—they should show up in the April distribution. And then there is the federal pension database, which apparently consists of paper copies. Also, there are the various computers sending out...
