And to add, it is often problematic when others outside the faith see Christians drinking. They can then falsely (or correctly) conclude there is hypocrisy. We are to avoid the appearance of impropriety.

He’s married. A relationship would be adultery. Keep repeating that to yourself. Pray. If needed, find another church.

I have been full circle on this issue. Raised in a home plagued with alcohol abuse, a problem drinker and drunk before my salvation, a partaker in extreme moderation, and now abstaining completely. Here is what I know: One shall not get drunk. If that is your idol and lifestyle, you have no...

To be fair, if I were 85, I probably would do no better than Biden in a debate. So I don’t want to make fun of him. That said, he is not fit to lead and should he win, it would put our nation at great risk with respect to foreign affairs. Our president would only be a puppet, as I think he is...

I occasionally turn on our local “Contemporary Christian music” station in my car and I hear something that I could easily mistake for modern country music or pop (which I dislike) both in lyrics and beat. The more conservative Christian radio station rarely plays music, so I turn on the...

Seems common here.

A former (retired) pastor stated: Much of modern “Christian“ music focuses on what God can do for you whereas traditional hymns focused on what God already did for us with his only begotten Son on the cross. I tend to agree. I actually find more of the glory of God in traditional classical...

No snow here in N. WI and probably none for Christmas. This is a first for us in 36 years living up here!

Probably watch “It’s a Wonderful Life” again. I have watched it over 20 times and I don’t think I will ever tire of it.

Going to celebrate Christmas at a nursing home in a few weeks with some folks from our church. Will bring them small gifts, play and sing some Christian Christmas carols and music, and do a devotional concerning the birth of Christ. I don't think there is anything pagan about what we will be...

I think you might find his son Gordon to be a bit more to your liking.

I watch this show almost daily. I very much like the testimonies from people that prayed to God in times of great need. Also, their news is a great supplement to other news sources. Their Operation Blessing is a great ministry as well. Not so sure about their name-it-claim-it time of healing...

I agree that Christmas is a great opportunity to share our faith. And I concur that we should celebrate Christmas and Easter EVERY day!

I like a cup of Cafe Bustello in the morning with breakfast. I might have one more cup of regular coffee and then decaf for the rest of the day.

I did a little research on this. According to scholars researching this, the wine of that day was diluted 2 to 1 and was a little more than half the strength of beer. So an adult could drink a large glass of it without much intoxication. But, if one wanted to drink a half gallon, they could get...

Not a word mentioned about this conflict in our church. Why?

I would say because God Ordained it, and allowed it, as it says in Romans 13. Frankly, we should be happy with even what we have and thank God, given the God-less nature of our nation as a whole. And I am not a Catholic by the way.

No, but with a daughter that drives and heavy snow requiring 4WD autos, we have 4 total, the newest being a 2009. I wouldn’t call myself a mechanic, but I will tackle simple tasks like brakes or struts.

Today was a "tiring" day! Had 4 new tires put on one car. Had another new tire put on a rim for another car. Then, on another car played musical tires. New tire on DF, that tire on PR, that tire on PF so I would have two newer tires in front.

What happened at these Jesus parties?
