Thank you for your post, to which I can relate and empathize. The message (to me): it is never too late to turn to God, and to embrace His commandments, guidance, & mentorship. (That is a major theme in the stellar movie “God Is Not Dead.” It also plays an important part in Christian prison...

M. G. Pearse on Genesis 2: One thing is quite certain — get where we may in this world, we cannot get beyond temptation. Do you think that life would have been a great deal better if there had been no possibility of evil? Certainly we might have been made without any will, blindly obeying...

Thank you for the response. Quick to dismiss the Lord’s Prayer? My pet peeve is a congregation that mindlessly drones it. Any prayer, but that one in particular, deserves sincere and thoughtful recitation, as we communicate deeply with God. “Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive them that...

We welcome you in Christian Love!

Welcome! We hope you find the conversations stimulating and the perspectives educational. Blessings.

Thank you for posting. There are those in our country, in the world, that mock all that is valuable. 1 Corinthians 11: 9 And when I was with you and was in need, I did not burden anyone, . . . I refrained and will refrain from burdening you in any way. 10 As the truth of Christ is in me...

Thank you for the post. Here is another source, and old stand-by. https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/ Blessings.

Thank you for your provocative post. Some examples, please of false doctrine promulgated by Martin Luther. Peace.

Welcome! We look forward to hearing from you as we discuss the scriptures, as well as people’s follies, in these turbulent days. Blessings.

Thank you for your post and the comments. Can we pin down exactly how President Carter livid his faith as a Baptist? Some quotes from a recent article. “After his 1976 election, Carter quickly fell out of favor with his own faith group, the SBC, which already was changing due to the influence...

Thank you for your question. If you hurt someone, then a good Christian will want to make amends. For a slight, apologizing and asking forgiveness might be sufficient. For something more serious, doing right may take considerable more effort, time, and expense. If what you have done is a...

Thank you for your post. Here is a good story. When our mother died (89), my younger sister had been taking care of her. Mom had portioned out her savings among us but deeded her house to my sister. No one had any issues. After the memorial service we gathered to discuss all of Mom’s...

Thank you for posting. Indeed, for many in that party, they are part of a pernicious cult that lusts for power, prestige, wealth, and sensual pleasure. (Their fallen nature has completely consumed them.) They cannot tolerate dissent from within or the outside. They are filled with...

Thank you for your post. In your first post you mentioned difficulty recruiting men. There is a similar problem in the United States. One strategy I am aware of is simply to ask some good men to help with projects, and hold off preaching the gospel until they have shown an interest in...

Thank you for the question. My knowledge of the efficacy of any dating app is zero! Perhaps some of them have on-line reviews to help. You might try one of the better ones to see for yourself. Local relationships have a lot going for them, as opposed to someone many hours away you met...

O Magnum Mysterium is a chant from the Matins of Christmas. Here is a translation of the text: O great mystery, and wonderful sacrament, that animals should see the newborn Lord, lying in a manger! O blessed virgin, whose womb was worthy to bear the Lord Jesus Christ. Alleluia! The chant has...

Thank you for reaching out. You, your friends, your community—all have a heavy burden to bear. Indeed, Godless cultures have a deep hold on the Chinese people. However, I have read where, among many of the ethnic groups in south China, there are at least cultures of Love Thy Neighbor. The...

As Christians we are called to witness in the world, without becoming part of the world. Jesus and his Apostles are the original heroes: willing to challenge the world to be better, despite the awful consequences. So, what is it like to visit an on-line social commentary forum, like X, a...

Thank you for your post. How did “drain the swamp” become a dog whistle? It is standard for eliminating unproductive and/or corrupt bureaucrats and their masters. Is there any nation that does not have border control? Suppose the U.S. were to grant unlimited numbers of visas to all that...

Thank you for your good question. Let’s start with scripture, given where you are posting: Matthew 6:34. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. In other words, be present in the moment. Your beloved husband has...
