To automatically block anyone and move on would be to say I have no love for them, or that they are already hopelessly condemned. It would also suggest that I have no value as a human being. And your downplaying things as "not that Serious" when you don't even know the particulars is certainly...

Your input is noted, but I will be going by where God leads me, thanks. It's possible that God will led me there but each situation has its own nuances and particulars to sort through, and dealing with those seems to be core to my calling in particular. As with any type of war, though, being...

First off, thank you for your friendly tone and agreement where possible. A lot of the problems on this website stem from people speaking in a prideful, divisive tone. We may disagree in part, but that doesn't mean we have to be disagreeable. God has shown me that when all parties have Holy...

I'm sure you mean well, friend, but you have some misconceptions there. First off, as God has done a lot of refining of my temper, if I'm still angry it means 1 of 2 things: 1) The issue hasn't been resolved and something needs to be done. Anger is an emotion that comes from our reflecting God...

Psalms 31:18 NASB1995 [18] Let the lying lips be mute, Which speak arrogantly against the righteous With pride and contempt. I am still bleeding over libelous lips that accused my character months ago. We need functioning shepherds on here, and accountability that people aren't allowed to make...

Sorry I didn't know that neck of the woods very well.

mother: [ muhth-er ] noun The woman who when you rip your bed sheet while both of you have the flu, searches for a new sheet, helps you put it on your bed, covers you up with a blanket when you collapse on top, then offers to fix you some soup while you sleep. (Sorry to disappoint anyone else...

What part of WA? I know if a few good churches in the NW.

I think TV is a common addiction that God sometimes takes his people through a season of abstinence on to restart them on better footing where they are better able to walk away when they need to. God did this with me and another family I know, but the point wasn't to stay there. In fact, God...

Also, I had a season that God was speaking to me through music and musicians. One of the most special parts was when God sang this song to me:

For me it was always the song, by The Backstreet Boys, I think... I don't care who you are, what you did, where you've been, as long as you love me. It always sounded like Jesus singing about how my past is forgiven, he just wants relationship with me now. My church had an emphasis for a...

Ask God. If he uses men to answer, fine, but they shouldn't be your source.

Should I assume you've heard of Lindsey Sterling?
