    struggling with singleness

    The real question is always.... What would you give to no longer be single and part of something greater? The blanket at night in bed. (Blanket wars) Your favorite foods? Counter space in the bathroom and closet space for clothes? The television remote? (What is watched on television) A...

    Ham saw his father naked, why Noah cursed Canaan (Son of Ham) instead of Ham?

    Canaan was Ham's legacy (firstborn) And Ham was the one cursing Canaan by instilling his attitudes and morality into Canaan. Noah just spoke truth....it wasn't a reverse blessing or a removal of blessings. It was simply the truth. If Ham had used even a modicum of mercy, forgiveness, and...

    Trumps Tariffs

    That's not what it says or intends. You might need to consult Black's Law Dictionary to see the definition of terms used in the constitution and bill of rights. The letter Thomas Jefferson wrote that included the separation of "church and state" was alluding to the fact that each State...

    Trumps Tariffs

    They are going to need those parts very very soon....or else they aren't going anywhere except by boat or land.

    Trumps Tariffs

    I'm actually OK with that. This is the USA....founded by Christians for Christians. We've allowed the unbelievers to visit and now they wanna take over? I'm all about deportations and exile. Let's see how long they last without the morality. It will be just like Christians vx the...

    How Willing/Good Would You Be At Accepting A Completely Different Love Language Than Your Own?

    When I had my DNA analysis done by pub med they mentioned that there exists genes people have that quickly metabolize caffeine and alcohol. Meaning the mild stimulant or depressants are very short-lived in some people. The caffeine addiction really doesn't cause a problem but the alcohol...

    How Willing/Good Would You Be At Accepting A Completely Different Love Language Than Your Own?

    Because I like the taste. Part of the chemical makeup of coffee is the same as in chocolate....a very distinctive flavor and taste. But it's got to be good coffee. Cheap coffee is practically devoid of it.

    House of David

    Agree completely.... The director has destroyed the story and remade the characters.... To what purpose? It's no longer a true story or an interesting one. The ONLY reason to watch it is to see David kill Goliath. That's it.... The rest of the story they created out of whole cloth is...

    How Willing/Good Would You Be At Accepting A Completely Different Love Language Than Your Own?

    YES....it most definitely can change and shift. Sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worse. But TRUE LOVE is described in Corinthians 13. Meaning.... That you adjust your behaviors to align with your love interests love language. If it's words of affirmation....you give them...

    House of David

    And I have to ask their reasoning behind why not make it more biblically accurate? The elements of a great story are there. All of them. Where do you think all the great stories retold over and over (albeit different characters) come from? They did a disservice to themselves and...

    House of David

    David, Outside of Jesus, is one of the most described people in scriptures. Everything from appearance to attitudes and personality. It amazes me how wrong they can get the guy. It's a wonder they all aren't speaking Elizabethan era English. They spent a lot of money but somehow...

    Ham saw his father naked, why Noah cursed Canaan (Son of Ham) instead of Ham?

    Because people today in our Westernized mindsets don't understand Ancient Near Eastern mindsets. Or Prophets for that matter. Noah was telling the truth about Canaan and his future because Ham was going to cause this curse by his own attitudes and values he was going to instill into Canaan...

    House of David

    House of David is a movie series on Prime Video. And many in my SS class have been caught up watching this movie series to watch David kill Goliath. And I wanted your opinion about this. After watching the first episode I already have opinions forming. I just wanted a forum to discuss...

    Have Front Porches Gone the Way of the Dinosaur? (Are Front Porches Extinct?)

    Then you would absolutely love my old Queen Anne Victorian....it has that wrap around porch...complete with fans, swings, and gingerbread trim. Come by, I got ice tea in a pitcher and a comfy place to sit and jaw for a while.

    What is the Definition of Failure?

    Success is the opposite of failure.... And how YOU define success in your life determines whether or not you have failed or are a failure. Because until you achieve success....you are a failure. Success can be measured in many ways....and something that you somehow cannot obtain.....or...

    Does Repenting of Lust Repeatedly Fail Because We're Not Actually Digging Out the Root of the Problem?

    Lust is a warping of natural desires. Instead of desiring love and to be loved/desired people desire a thrill wrapped in an experience. Hormones pushing this even further. And the pleasing appearance of another somehow makes it better? (It doesn't) These "pretty" people spend 40-100+...

    Does the Bible ever say who is elected or chosen?

    Called vx chosen. Chosen (as when Jesus used both terms together) is a reference to a title given by Jews. That's the title "Born From Above". "Born from above" refers to those unique individuals who have passion for God and are given specific, special tasks by God to fulfill. This can...

    Does the Bible ever say who is elected or chosen?

    Chosen is another matter. Adoniram Judson was called. George Lyle was Chosen. Billy Sunday was called Billy Graham was Chosen. Need I go further?

    Does the Bible ever say who is elected or chosen?

    God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. It's repeated ad nauseum many many times in many ways. It ought to be a huge blue paw print...AKA a CLUE.
