    Hello from Brazil

    You came to the right place. I am always looking to speak more about God. It's amazing how difficult it is to find people who want to talk about God-- especially in church!

    I Don't Like Men

    My dear sister. I am so sorry you went through what you did. It's amazing the level of sin God's human creations can sometimes conjure up. When you look at people in history such as Genghis Khan, Marie Antoinette, Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin, you have to wonder how much of those horrible...

    So, What Do You Do For A Living?

    I am actually for capitalism. It beats the socialist alternative, which by the way, history has proven does not work. The U.S. is the world's best economy for a reason. To have the third largest population in the world coupled with the sixth highest income per capita speaks volumes about our...

    The elephant in the room

    I'm sorry you had to be injured by people in your past. What hurts the most is when friends you know and love try and destroy you on purpose. I know from experience that some of God's human creations can have the capacity to perform unimaginable sins; I hearken back to Hitler and his henchmen...

    Hello from the Pacific NW

    Very nice to meet you. I also grew up in the NW. I don't miss the rain, but I do miss the outdoor adventures. May the Lord bless you abundantly. :coffee:

    So, What Do You Do For A Living?

    A new town, a new church Danny and his wife Mia had just moved from a large city to a small, affluent suburban town. Danny had just received a promotion to warehouse manager, but agreed to move to a new city and state in order to accept the job. Mia acquiesced to the idea of finishing her...

    What was Sunday/Saturday sermon about?

    I very much agree. However, if we are going to stand fast on the principle of men in leadership roles, we must not rebuke them in front of their spouses. I cannot recall a place in scripture where Jesus rebuked the original twelve in front of the multitudes. That was my only point.

    What was Sunday/Saturday sermon about?

    Since this thread was started nearly a year ago, I feel a little late to the party. But since it has kept going till today, I feel compelled to respond to your original post back in February. Absolutely. We cannot do it on our own. And that's why we should help that single mom who just got...

    Why do marriages fail?

    My heartfelt sympathy for the loss of your marriage. I went through the same thing two years ago, and I still feel the sting.

    What should I Believe, and why?

    This is what I believe: I believe that while we are sitting here debating about doctrines outside the Gospel, that single mom down the street is waiting for the church to show up at her house. She's waiting for someone to tell here the Good News. She's waiting for someone to help watch her...

    Repent, Repent, Repent...Da-Da-Da-Da-Da, RAHPENT!

    I was on my way home from a long day at work last night and turned on the Christian radio station. I usually enjoy listening to a variety of radio preachers with their many different styles of getting God’s word out. But I often get a hold of a preacher who can’t seem to keep his foot out of his...

    How to find gods calling for your life

    John MacArthur has a great sermon on this very subject. I'll try and find it for you. But he sums it up this way: If you are seeking God and His kingdom on a daily basis, it's okay to be a doctor, or electrician, or an UBER driver. It's even okay to take a vacation to Disneyland every year, as...

    Top 6 Ways Pastors Keep Their Sheep At Bay

    I sense that there is a misconception about my original post here. I was talking about all pastors in all churches. In fact, where I'm from, the largest churches have about 1000 members. I'll give you an example of what I'm talking about. The last church I attended (about three weeks ago) had...

    Top 6 Ways Pastors Keep Their Sheep At Bay

    Sorry for the misspelling. Never my strong suit. I first have to address the tired old excuse that the pastor can only handle a congregation of 30 or less, otherwise he is just too busy. I'm handling 3 businesses just to try and make my mortgage payments. On top of that I have my seven year...

    Why I disregard "organized" religions

    Here we go again. I really can't believe we're still having this discussion in 2019. I've heard it in the past over and over again how the King James version is the only translation worthy of reading. But what good is it if the reader can't understand it? So if a person in Mexico can only read...

    That's great to know. Thank you. I'll check into that.
