Just as the Bible says, "surely your sin will find you out". Those who get banned don't necessarily change their habits or the way they post....

Saying you are a Believer is one thing. Living like you are a Believer is an entirely different thing..

I hear this alot. Bloom where you're planted, or grow where you're planted. What does that mean? Does it mean stay in a church you are attending and never leave? Really? What does it mean to grow where you are planted? How do you know if (or where) you are "planted"? I guess I don't care...

Yep, agreed, been there, got that t-shirt!

Just held you up in prayer, and will continue to. I hope your pain subsides quickly in His name

Never a more true statement!

Oh boy, for sure! The tongue can either bless or curse. Cause a forest fire or steer a ship aground. So, bridling the tongue is important...but oh so hard when ya just want to let someone have it.

I agree. The gossip thing has been a thing I try to dodge. Not that I don't get talked about behind my back, I expect it. But, I try my best to keep my yap shut about others.

I'm not sure if they were believers or not. Just for info here, the Jesus Movement started around 1965 or so, up to about 1976 (I may be wrong about the exact dates), so perhaps many of them were Christians. Also, I think many in the military were also.

Good question! I think in MOST cases it is. But I wonder. We can protest without doing anything about the problem. But when we rebel, isn't that a heart issue, as well as doing something about it? I'm not sure, great question and good observation!

I remember when I was younger and driving, the older person driving speed limit or slower irritated me. I'd be so upset being behind them. Now I'm the older driver, going speed limit or slower, irritating the folks behind me. Life advice, be kind to the people in front of you, that may be you...

Wow, well done! Well thought out and well said.

I'm sure home schooling has a benefit for some. But the drawback seems to be in the area of socializing and developing people skills. A lot of life experiences get missed too, if a parent isn't careful.

People rebel in different ways. For men, back in my day, the long hair, drugs, sex, ect. was a form of rebellion. I can't speak for girls, but I believe it to be true for them as well, women rebel in different ways as well. Back in my day, bra burning, or going braless was seen as a way to rebel...

Binge

Thank you, great reminder. I have this scripture written sitting beside me here at work. Thank you!

I agree that men in the past had long hair. No dispute there! But we (guys my age) used our hair length to rebel against our parents and authority. A lot of army age men dodged going into the military so they would not have to go to Viet Nam. That is where the drugs and illicit sex became...

Lanolin, the long hair thing was a form of rebellion back then. Our parents thought men should wear their hair short. It was a "man" thing I think for my parents. The ratty hair, big beards and weird dress was a form of going against the "status quo"...I agree we need to learn from the past...

Yes, but found no photo. May be a good thing since photos don't always tell the truth.

When you carry a grudge and you carry unforgiveness it makes it hard to carry the gospel to those who need it.
