I must sadly report that I have never found myself in the situation of needing to defend myself against aggressive women. I don't know why! Perhaps it's because I am a short/stocky man with four legs who shuffles along due to over-sized feet wearing body armor and carrying a lightsaber. Please...

It doesn't get much clearer than that! (y)

I apologize for the fact that everyone else must suffer though each post that you make. . . .

Because my trust is in Christ rather than myself. We are told in 1 John 3:9 - No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God. Please note: It does not say No one born of God ceases to sin, which is...

Such as never having to repent when you fail? ;)

One day you'll understand that we are unable to! That's why we understand the need of a Savior, unlike you 1 John 1:8-10

You are so obedient! It must be a wonderful experience being you. . . .

I see too many post which speak of obeying and believing as works which we must do to become and remain saved. Get real, take a deep breath and ask yourself just where do these things come from? Does fallen man lift himself from the depth of depravity and turn to God in his own strength? I...

It seems to me that God sometimes allows us to reach a point that forces us to cling to Him. We desperately seek an answer and reach the point that we finally understand that He is our only help. He knows our frame. How we wander and seek answers in the wrong place, how we stray and begin to...

All good points! There will always be a risk, but I believe it is a risk worth taking, especially while younger. I would add a couple of thoughts. 1) If you live in a large town or city, consider buying property in a smaller town perhaps 15-20 miles away in the direction of growth. You would...

I am not in the market to buy/sell my home. I'm also retired so I cannot speak for the security to be found when it comes to remaining employed. But you are correct when you speak of older people being faced with decisions about what they should do. I have lived in my current home for about...

Yes I was.

Good point! I see what you are saying, covet is a thought while committing murder is an action. But doesn't scripture suggest that we can commit murder in our hearts as well?

A few questions for everyone. . . When you read through the Ten Commandments, do you tend to prioritize them? In other words, would you consider that [You shall not covet] is less offensive than [You shall not murder]? And, if so, do you think that God does the same, or are they equal in His...

Certainly the Ten Commandments should be our guide on the proper way to live before God. His commands have always been to direct us in how we should live. But, please hold up your hand if you have been able to do so. . . We fail every day that we live to obey His commands. They are like a...

Wow, what a coincidence! Both you and HigherGospel must live in the same town. The town must be at least 80 miles from the nearest civilization and only has one church. Limited choice! Otherwise, you would have no excuse other than you are unwilling to make any effort or you cannot find...

Wisdom “Deal with the faults of others as gently as your own.” - Chinese Proverb “A new broom sweeps clean but an old broom knows the corners.” - Virgin Islander “He who has a why to live can bear almost any how.” - Friedrich Nietzsche “Silence is often misinterpreted but never...

Why do I see so many profiles where people claim to be Christian, yet admit that they do not attend church? I suppose it could be poor health or some other good reason. . . :unsure:

We are told to comply, yet I do not believe that we are able to without change. The fact that we are changed reminds us of why we need a Savior. If we were able to do so without Him, why do we need to be saved?
