    Kevin Hart & Lil Dicky stage mockery of Jesus

    Brittany spears pulled the same trash in the 90's. This is sadly an aging feature of our cultural rot. It's also another example of the narcissism among artists and their patrons. You get this when Jesus is reduced from fully God, fully man to an existential figure any eccentric with a...

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

    This is what we get for making everything a humanitarian mission. When you are at war, the duty you owe to your people is making the enemy stop. We should have gone in, set up one or two bases (named after American heroes, not local towns) unleashed Hell on anybody connected with the 9/11...

    What do you think about cannabis in regards to the scripture? Anybody have some wise verses?

    Of course sobriety takes precedence. That isn't the crux of the discussion we are having. The question is whether weed is lawful in moderation. Healthy eating habits take precedence, but that doesn't mean you can't have desert from time to time.

    What do you think about cannabis in regards to the scripture? Anybody have some wise verses?

    Perhaps this is experience talking more than anything, but you can use cannabis without going sky high. There is that median of buzz that the Bible in fact praises. Why else would wine make the heart glad?

    Smoking.

    Depends how close you're standing to the source. Incense is strong.

    Books of our Youth

    9/11 kind of ruined my reading habits. I put down classics for a time and read trashy military thrillers.

    Books of our Youth

    As for books when I was really young? A mix. Ferdinand the Bull A lot of Dr. Seuss Then the classics above. From those, I quickly propelled to actual classics and history books. I was in the 2nd or 3rd grade when I made that transition.

    Books of our Youth

    This warms the heart. I disagree with some of the posters above saying the books had to be super simple. I WAS a special needs kid who had a tested IQ of 74. Part of the reason why I got out of my rut is that my special needs teachers didn't condescend to me. They understood I needed more...

    Books of our Youth

    I had a bunch of these and loved them. They did a great job of simplifying these tales for the really young reader and they beat just about anything you can see on the screen.

    Talk vs. Action

    Des' 10 point plan. 1. Start at home- build families and associations. If you are young, develop a plan to build a family or assist in building a family if you are called to a single life. If you have kids, encourage them to get married by their mid-twenties. Ideally, they live close to you...

    A Texas pastor has been sentenced to 30 years after using hidden cameras to secretly film child porn at church

    The prison population will see he gets more than that. It is one of the very few things that is still just about our justice system.

    What do you think about cannabis in regards to the scripture? Anybody have some wise verses?

    Again, I think the problem is overindulgence. I happen to hate weed myself, but I live where it is legalized. It isn't going to put you in much of an altered state where you're talking to spirits and nonsense like that as it is with the Shamanistic drugs. But the people who use it simply to...

    Transsexual Friend

    Here is another thing I resent while I am at it- this modern lie that we find ourselves through breaking away from normality. That our parents and family don't truly know us until we reveal ourselves so-to-speak. Nonsense. You are from your mother and father. They may not always be right or...

    Transsexual Friend

    My pastor gave me another way of looking at things tonight. If Josh is a Christian, his problem is that he has not embraced the new self God gives us when we are saved from our sins. Instead, he is looking back through a narrow prism at sinful factors of his life that led to this grand marring...

    Transsexual Friend

    I had a great friend in college. He has fallen to modernist lunacy, believing himself to be a woman. I don't know what to do about it, but what I can tell you is this- he has fallen for a satanic lie. When strangers fall to it, they are a curiosity. When someone you once knew well rejects what...

    How do you meet other Christian women during Covid?

    Yeah, age is relevant here. The older you get, the harder it is to make friends. That is until you reach 65+. I'm told it gets easier after that point.

    What's the point of marriage ?

    Have faith Heaven is a perfect place as God promises. And the institution of marriage as we know it may not exist there, but it probably doesn't mean you will have a very special relationship with the woman you partnered up with in life. I'm convinced you are either trolling or just too...
