How do you know you are saved? I don't mean to be facetious or antagonistic in any way. I just wonder if you believe you are saved? How do you know? Can you be saved, but then discarded because of sin? Do you just "hope" you are saved, but do not know for certain? How can you be certain of...

We have an agency as a go between, that pretty much takes care of everything. The cost is reasonable, 10% of the rent plus 50% of the first month (for taking care of finding the tenant, background checks, etc.) So it is not a headache in anyway that requires much work. The real question though...

I have a similar opinion to Ruiz. My parents started with nothing and I watched them build their wealth from the ground up. I always understood and valued money because we were quite poor to start and even when we became comfortable my parents were still tight with cash. Just by watching the...

I am somewhat struggling trying to figure out how trying to discover God's will for your life falls in line with predestination. I suppose I can understand it in hindsight. But when faced with the choice of actively attempting to pray and search for God's will, versus just waking up and going...

I went to a Saturday evening mass last week. There were quite a few men there, alone, unshaven, wearing ragged jeans, boots, and sweatshirts. It was actually quite beautiful. To see a man alone, in a sloppy unkept outfit, that stopped by for mass on a Saturday night.

We have made a tradition of taking a drive into the country to an apple orchard and picking our own apples every year. We also like taking walks in the woods.

Ok, I see your point there. I don't want to start any argument. I just come from an educational background and have experiences with both public and homeschooling. I'm used to being 'evaluated' myself, so I don't feel any protest against it. I would be for a bill like this not because it...

What are your views on participating in yoga? I have noticed quite a few Christian churches offering yoga. However, my understanding is that yoga is a part of Hinduism, and each pose is like an offering, supplication, or some form of worship directed at different Gods. Do you feel yoga is...

So you feel a few instances of child abuse or neglect should be shrugged at so that you may keep your personal rights? I just don't see it that way. I feel if I am doing the best for my child I would gladly invite social services into my home to see how I am schooling my child. If I am doing...

I'm really not sure about the legalities of homeschooling in Canada. I know it can be done, but not sure who you have to "go through", or if you just don't register your kids into regular school and that's it. You should contact the school board though, and find out where you can get copies of...

Actually, this sounds like reverse discrimination. It seems the white children are the minority in this school, and now they are being discriminated against because they won the election.

I suppose I will go against the grain here, but I could see how a bill such as this could be in the best interest of the child. When children are in a formal school they have contact with the outside world and although I'm sure much can be hidden, there is still a point of contact with others...

Let me add though it is not that I have been without blessings, for I certainly have been greatly blessed as well. Which I am so immensely thankful for. All I've been blessed with was just given to me, with hardly any personal effort on my part. So I suppose it is the feeling of almost being...

Thank you for all of your replies. There is truth in everything you have all written. It is interesting to see how anxiety is addressed from the physiological side, to the emotional, to the spiritual. All explanations seem correct, yet the cure is different, depending on which way you perceive...

What is the spiritual meaning of anxiety? Is there one? An anxiety that flutters in the depths of your stomach, that shakes you and brings forth nervousness in your actions. One that starts for no particular reason, but can latch onto any thought if you let it.
