From your OP: "So you have to forgive them every time you confront them, even if there is no evidence of repentance or change in behaviour after." Yes, you do need to forgive those who sin against you but this does NOT require you to allow them to revictimize you. Forgiveness does not mean...

The “checkered band” on hats worn by Chicago Police Department officers was introduced in May 1967 by Superintendent O.W. Wilson. The design was based on the three-layer “Sillitoe Tartan” first used in 1932 by the Glasgow Police Department in Scotland and named after Chief Constable Percy J...

One of the most frequent topics encountered on CC is the Faith/Works controversy. Its frequent appearance negates the need to review it further. Try this. First, inhale deeply and do not exhale. Hold it within yourself. You will come to understand; to do this is death. Next, exhale all the...

Does a man have the right to defend his home from someone trying to beak in? Is that unbiblical? If you are being attacked with a sword are you to turn the other cheek? If a thief demands your coat are you required to give them your firstborn too? Immigration is NOT the issue here, we have...

There is a Heavenly Recipes forum that is well worth the time to explore.

I too have buried pets and know how that feels. I thought I was pretty tough until I had to put one down. I ain't! I just see a culture marginalizing children, mothers and families and it makes me upset.

I understand, but isn't the other side of anthropomorphizing their pets dehumanizing children....

Does anyone else have an issue with the term "Fur Babies"... ...or am I in left field without a mitt again?

If your faith doesn't hurt you a little, you are doing it wrong.

We Christians? Or some Christians? Point taken....

It's not possible to make an intelligent response to this stream. Define antisemitism. Is it hate? Is it opposition to the Israeli governments policies, is it support of a Palestinian nation, is it opposition to the "Jewish" faith (whatever that is)? We Christians are blind.

One cannot look at creation and not be struck by awe. One of my favorite bible quotes: Romans 1:20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without...

Welcome to CC Docgero. There are many children of Abraham here and by God's grace the numbers continue to grow.

I confess a sense of despair on this topic.

That's a pretty broad question. When considering worship/praise as a single issue, I recall the very first statement in the Westminster Shorter Catechism: Q. 1. What is the chief end of man? A. Man’s chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy him for ever. To glorify God is to reveal...

Hello Aster, welcome to CC. I pray you find much comfort here. I am a year or two older than you. I listened to the songs you posted but my old ears have trouble hearing your music. My faith and beliefs at 14 were much different than my faith now, it's a life long process for most of us as...

It is, and storing that much water does present real problems. For two people, the contents of your hot water heater may be enough. There are also water purification systems available that are inexpensive. A small portable generator may allow you to operate your well pump if you are...

I read and study the Bible daily and encourage everyone else to do so. That said, I return to Paul's statement in Romans: Romans 1:20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been...

We should always be prepared to support ourselves with food and water for at least 30 days. Natural disasters (and some man-made) can occur anywhere and at any time. As Moses_Young explained this is stuff you can use and replace regularly so it is not expensive. If "The Big One" comes you...

My plea is guilty, my prayer, Amen.
