    For the People Who Champion Lifetime Singleness - What's Your Advice for Dealing with Single Sexuality?

    I do not have the gift of singleness. I failed to save myself for marriage. But I will say there is truth to idle hands being the Devil's playground. That and take care about the kinds of friends you make.

    Can you tell us how you felt when you was sick with covid?

    Loss of taste and smell for two weeks. A little fatigued now and then, but nothing terrible.

    Why are Christian movies usually really bad?

    I think we can say that all movies are usually bad today because they are merely derivative. Christian movies are great when they tell Christian stories- Luther is the prime example.

    Safe movies to watch, including Christian movies.

    Older movies are the way to go, because they were made when people were at least afraid of outraging Christians. Here are a few of my favorites. 1. The Scarlett Pimpernel 2. Jason and the Argonauts 3. Arsenic and Old Lace 4. Henry V 5. A Lady Vanishes 6. Random Harvest 7. Rebecca 8...

    What is a Gentleman?

    That is the wonderful thing about being a Christian man. The Bible is wholly sufficient to make one a gentleman if he studies and lives by it earnestly.

    The Dating Age Range.

    It isn't wrong. It's natural. Being willing to adopt is something of a specialized spiritual gift like singleness. It's important to have people who feel led to only have biological children. Otherwise, there would be no new people.

    How to deal with self doubt about your faith?

    It's paradoxical, but I reflect on the fact my feeling of insufficiency comes from recognizing myself to be insufficient. If I was comfortable in my sin or overly proud of myself, I would think I have no need for God. But I know I need God and understand He promised I would feel this way. This...

    What is a Gentleman?

    A gentleman in a classic sense is man of virtue. That means someone upright and orderly in their behavior, sober, and reflective. This makes him a natural leader. I hasten to add he must be cultivated by education. By that I don't mean a degree necessarily (there are unlettered gentlemen), but...

    Las Vegas

    Hey guys, It isn't often I make a request on here, but this week you get a two-fer. I simply do not feel spiritually well. After my buddy went trans, I have a greater handle on the darkness everywhere. Part of it comes from living in Las Vegas. I am not really a Vegas person like most folks on...

    Kevin Hart & Lil Dicky stage mockery of Jesus

    I do not understand why you are being so peevish. We both agree this is an outrage. The fact this mockery has been a feature of pop culture for some time makes me even more sad, not less.

    11 Marines, one Navy corpsman killed in HKIA attack: CENTCOM commander

    I think this all ultimately leads to the rise of a more overt Caesar. We already have one, but it just isn't formalized as of yet.

    11 Marines, one Navy corpsman killed in HKIA attack: CENTCOM commander

    You hit the nail on the head. "Humanitarian mission" is soft and vague enough to sound acceptable to the rubes. The powerful scum of the earth use it as a cover for other things. I would like to see what Ambrose Bierce would have done with the term "humanitarian mission" :ROFL:
