Welcome, and thank you for reaching out to us. Do you mainly socialize in the Christian community, or are you able to find friends and colleagues in the general Indonesian population? What are the most challenging aspects of your life in Indonesia. Blessings.

Good question! So, how should our “little monster” toddlers be taught the rudiments of being a human: living harmoniously with others? Parents have the primary responsibility, but how is that working out overall in today‘s society. In any event, schools can and should play a role in...

Thank you for your post. Perhaps you are saying, and I find it quite true, that parables need some “soak time,” and reflection, and even a new perspective from a pastor. It also helps to actively live one’s faith and then return for additional insights. Question: Perhaps the Garden of Eden...

Thank you for your thoughts. Agreed that there is a spiritual reason why our planet and solar system are situated where they are. Reference: a book, “The Privileged Planet.” Related: I read somewhere that the health of Earth depends on plate tectonics and violent weather. Thus, We also live...

If you see any like this, simply Report it, and a staff member will do the rest.

Thank you for the post. Unspoken is that Sen. Kaine views Christians (and possibly Jews) as no better than the Iranian leaders. He fails to see how their leaders have corrupted God’s word to suit their own lust for absolute power. Reminder: Pharaoh hated the Israelites because they accepted...

That is an interesting response. To begin, the two better-known examples of nation reawakening are 18th century Great Britain and 19th century U.S. So, Wilberforce in GB led the movement to abolish slavery. The short-term effect was a huge change in human suffering, but also caused economic...

My posting was intended as irony. If you read the link, it has an example of a Canadian will need to wait over a year just to obtain a an ultrasound. Blessings.

Thank you for your comments. Related: there is rampant drug use in the U.S. and a concomitant rise is drug deaths (both of which are felt as economic problems). Currently, the emphasis is on preventing the large influx of deadly drugs (and on having emergency medicines to prevent death from...

Thank you for your post. If only healthcare in the U.S. were “free.” https://twitchy.com/justmindy/2025/09/03/canada-healthcare-mri-n2418352 Blessings.

If you believe his posts are heretical or apt to lead someone on this site astray, why would you not “Report” his individual posts to the staff? (Per St Basil the Great: “He who sows courtesy reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love.” At this point, I am going to take Paul’s...

Thank for proving my original point. And thanks also for Titus 3:10 Warn a divisive person once, and then warn them a second time. After that, have nothing to do with them. You seem to have missed the last part, “have nothing to do with them.” Our fellow Christian has not been preaching...

—Not reading much love in your response. 43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I tell you, love your enemies . . . 45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the...

May God comfort you, strengthen you, and sustain you throughout the procedure. May He be with the doctors and nurses, to guide them accurately during the same. And may God touch you with enhanced healing afterward. Peace Be With You.

Some commentators say that King Solomon wrote this Psalm; others say King David. If it is Solomon, why is it written in 3rd person (or.is this a translational artifact)? Note the requests to be true to God’s Commandments (sounds like David), but also for more territory and wealth (sounds like...

Thank you!! (From a former regular church attendee.) Only one addition: being able to discuss scripture in this forum has been an excellent way to understand the Bible more thoroughly and to verify one’s interpretations. Blessings.

Thanks for the question. The only leverage against Russia is economic. President Trump’s deal typically involve carrots and sticks, but whether that will make a near-term difference is difficult to say. Europe may be content to buy weapons from us and give them to Ukraine. Blessings.

My mistake, but it would seem Congress would need to legislate such a body, which would usurp the power of the states. Etc. Blessings.

Sounds like the right approach, although I dislike having Congress take over what states were empowered to do. Would SCOTUS say that would violate the 10th Amendment? Blessings.

Thank for the question. At one time, chickens etc. were killed by wringing their necks (but perhaps that is breaking their necks, rather than strangulation). Might be an interesting research project. Blessings.
