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...

This is a rhetorical question, yes? James: 1: 19. So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; 20 for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God. 3: 5 See how great a forest a little fire kindles! 6 And the tongue is a fire, a...

Thank you for your question. Perhaps His day-to-day helping us avoid self-induced disaster is better noted as “rescued,” so as not to confuse with save/salvation. Otherwise, we are in total agreement. Part of my regular prayer has been to thank God for giving me everything I have ever needed...

Well put. The AI fanatics are convinced we will someday have an app that will pass the Turing Test. In this case, from our Christian point of view, Big Deal! Blessings.

Thank you for the post. Why would I want an AI god (“God?”) when the real one is with me at all times. He guides me, mentors me, sustains me, strengthens me, and I am certain that will be true forever. All good people of faith know this as well. Peace.

Who would have thought!?! By the way: there is a Cat Island in Japan. In Mombasa, on the coast of Kenya, there is (or perhaps was) a wonderful seafood restaurant, with picnic tables for the patrons. One can order a single, large fish for a group. Many placid (feral) cats wait patiently for the...

Thank you for your post. There is a time to argue and a time to be silent (Ecclesiastes?) Question: are you in control or are your emotions? (See James) Surely, we should not hesitate to correct falsehoods, except once we have made our points and the invincibly ignorant babbles on. Staying...
