I'm interested in hearing other people's thoughts on Jeremiah 1:5 when God told Jeremiah, "“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” Do you think this passage applies solely to Jeremiah, because of God...

On my best day I can't be good enough. It's simply not in me. That's why I need a Savior. Unfortunately, every thing men put their hands to they tend to corrupt. That can be especially true when it comes to church, religion, and "recovery". Men will always fail us. For me personally, I had to...

Well, he has released it. He made $13.7 million last year. Rich guy, eh? He paid $1.9 million in income tax. That's only 134 %. Wow. But wait. He gave $4 million to charity. So of the $9.7 million he kept for himself, he paid 20% of it in taxes. That's a little better, especially since the...

I'm wondering how flexible conservatives are regarding the whole tax system debate. For example, everybody resists any new taxes. But, would you approve of eleminating some deductions? For example, people can deduct the mortgage interest from their second homes on their tax returns currently...

Do any of you really and truly believe any of the events in the Muslim world, including the murder of our ambassador and emassy workers, was really about an amateur movie on youtube? The news media reported extensively about Mitt Romney's remarks and the president's snarky comment that Romney...

I received the following in an email from a school where I've been taking some online courses. I found it to be uplifiting, and thought others might too. Sorry if it's a little long... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WHAT YOU NEED TO...

I went to high school with Andrea. That was several decades ago. She is now suffering awful anguish right now as she struggles to endure end stage lung cancer. If you feel led to do so, please lift her up today. Thank you.

I don't think I ever posted an introduction, so here I go. I began posting to another Christian discussion board as Brother James in 2003. In the course of time my name changed there, but I've always really been Bro J. Nevertheless, that board has ceased to operate. A couple of members from...

Democrats refused to invite Cardinal Timothy Dolan to offer a prayer of invocation at the Democratic Convention. Mr. Obama nixed that based on Cardinal Dolan's prolife stance. On the other hand, 2 hours of "Jumah" Islamic prayers are going to be held on the Friday of the convention. Even other...

I know a lot of people who have gotten themselves in some really bad financial situations. I have a close family member who lost their house to foreclosure just a few months ago, and now they are on a vaction for 12 days in Ireland. I really don't get that. I was in the mortgage business for...

I wonder what other folks think about the way the Republican party has reacted to Todd Akin's unfortunate mistake when he was defending unborn children. The Republican establishment and all the talk show people put enormous pressure on him to quit, and he said no. He did not commit any moral...

We think not having a Christmas display in front of city hall is persecution, but Christians are dying for their faith in attacks in Nigeria every week. Please consider them in your prayers. I pray we do not ever have to know such persecution in the West, but I wonder how many would stand firm...
