That's very interesting, Jack. strs

Race? strs

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 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...

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...

Sounds like an honest response to me! strs

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

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...

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

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.

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...

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...

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...

:waves: :)

What I find very interesting is that I, personally, have pretty well-formed opinions about many of the issues being discussed here, more than a few of which would make half of the folks here very angry, and others which would greatly upset the other half. Which goes to show just how useful my...

I think there's a worthwhile distinction to be made between characterizing deeds as evil, and persons as such. But in another post, you say that only "most" Democrats can't define what a woman is. This seems inconsistent. Exactly how evil are all Democrats? How good or evil are any or all...

What type of Christian hopes someone will enjoy their "eternity with the beast," as you put it? :)

What an incredible, brother-against-brother, dumpster fire of a thread this is!

What about the Republicans who do so? :)

I love him because Christ loves and died for him also. It's too bad, really, that we can't fill a thread with over a thousand posts about The Old, Old, Story of Jesus and His unutterable love for us in suffering and dying a death of superhuman agony. Don't you think so? Just a thought. :)
