    What Keeps Us From Sinning In Heaven?

    Welcome, Friend. Will we then be a different type of fish than that which was created in Adam before the fall? strs

    Prayer for Amadeus

    Love begets love. You have loved us, in the love that was begat in you by Christ's love for you, and for us all. Let us now love our enemies, who are simply those whom Christ's love has not yet reached. strs

    What Keeps Us From Sinning In Heaven?

    Just the reply I expected, and well said. strs

    A bit of a mess in the White House.

    Unfortunately, it's true. TGP gets about as bad a rating as is possible on mediabiasfactcheck.com. This is not to say they are in no way capable of publishing an accurate piece of journalism, but I'd sooner get my news elsewhere, in any case. I like GroundNews, Straight Arrow News, and The...

    A bit of a mess in the White House.

    This is a lot more than you've provoked, so to speak, with your comment here but, since I find you to be one of the more thoughtful contributors in many discussions here, let me lay this on you: I don't know what's inside the head of the President, but I have seen little compelling evidence of...

    What Keeps Us From Sinning In Heaven?

    It's interesting. I bookmarked this page in my email account and, upon stumbling over it while looking for something else, decided to review it. You amaze me. I know you don't care for flattery one whit, but I just got back from my morning walk so my mind is I unusually clear. And so I just now...

    That's very interesting, Jack. strs

    A bit of a mess in the White House.

    It bothers me, too, very greatly, Jack, my friend, but I'm afraid it's the tip of the iceberg in many ways. And it's been embraced widely enough now that it's not going away. Sometimes I feel like the proverbial old man shaking his walking stick at the clouds. We've got to win hearts and minds...

    A bit of a mess in the White House.

    A fair enough observation, my friend. But I'm not settling for the reality/status quo. We have "a heaven to win and a hell to shun." And I'm certainly not under any illusion that whatever humility with which I may have been graced isn't also contaminated with the pride that struggles to rise...

    A bit of a mess in the White House.

    YouTube carries pretty much all the news we get. To be fair, politics in Washington are of great interest to most of the world. I don't think my citizenship entitles me to exclusive concern about affairs that effect global security. Folks who feel and say differently are, of course, at perfect...

    A bit of a mess in the White House.

    Sounds like an honest response to me! strs

    A bit of a mess in the White House.

    I really wish the rhetoric surrounding politics could be dialed back a bit by folks processing Christ. I feel that exaggerating how people with differing views see things tends toward escalation of the rhetoric, rather than rousing them to see things differently. strs

    A bit of a mess in the White House.

    Haven't people always had differing ideas about such things? And don't you think there's been considerably more heated and, frankly, acrimonious debate over these things in recent years? I can't help but think there ought to be a difference between the church and the world with respect to the...

    A bit of a mess in the White House.

    I don't think I should get irritated over either. At least, not too often. strs

    I am very ill

    Burdens are lifted at Calvary, Jesus is very near, my friend. We are partakers in His sufferings, and we glory in the privilege. (1 Peter 4: 13) You have friends here who remember you always in prayer.

    Prodigal Sister: 16 Years Not Yet Returned

    Folks who are game to take on the business of forgiveness and reconciliation (read: The Gospel Work) will find plenty of work for their hands and hearts. But it's honest, rewarding work. And it's like a well springing up into everlasting life. And @Wrangler is a soldier under the blood-stained...

    A bit of a mess in the White House.

    By the way, I'm thankful that God is directing things in Washington, to the extent and manner in which He does. I think that He increasingly has to work in spite of many of our leaders, unfortunately, don't you? I don't find it at all easy to tell the good guys from the bad guys anymore. In...

    A bit of a mess in the White House.

    Hi, marks! What do you watch? My question is rhetorical, too, but I don't presume that you watch anything in particular. What would you guess that I watch? Should Christians be watching a certain brand of news? Are these questions worth asking? I'm trying to figure out why so many of my...
