USN2Pulpit, is the oath today the same for Officers as it is Enlisted? I remember a few years ago about one Soldier refusing to wear the UN Helmet and/or the UN Patch on his uniform as he took an oath to defend America..., not the world under the Command of the UN. Just curious.

With all due respect it would appear to me that becoming a Chaplin in the military would be a calling rather than an avenue of paying off student loans. What ever the case, if I were you I'd personally meet with an active duty Chaplin to discuss the politics involved with such an...

Many, many years ago I took the Bible and by doing a word study established that "speaking in tongues" was not a biblical position. The guy took it home to his wife and she exploded like you wouldn't believe! This poor boy looked like a whipped dog when she got through with him. It was...

Gone are the previous Red, White and Blue US Flag Colors replaced with a plain black masthead. Check it out. http://www.justice.gov/ Notice the small lettering at the top of the page. It says, "The common law is the will of mankind, issuing from the life of the people." This quote is...

Our pastor tells all that if someone wants to come forward to please do so or see him after the service. Otherwise, the longest invitation we have had is about a minute or two.

So the question. Should assisted suicide be legal by any one, Doctors only, under all circumstances, some circumstances, never? Sorry, I ain't taking the bait as I don't have a clue one way or the other.

Let me ask you this based on what you wrote. Nope! What I was referring to are those medical institutions who see patients as mere cash cows. When the "cash cow" dries up the drip begins.

Years ago the military had a formula regarding their vehicles. When the value of the vehicle depreciated and/or maintenance costs raised to half the original worth of said vehicle, they got rid of it. Sad to say but way too many medical institutions (not doctors per se) but hospitals...

Over the years I've heard people say, "My 'ministry' is..." this or that. Music; teaching; helps; etc. What's the difference between a "ministry" and a "job"? Do we expect from those in their specific ministries to perform for us? Enlighten us? Motivate us? Teach us? What is it we...

Alcoholics have to beware of cough syrup as much of the various brands contain alcohol.

jprieto, you have to do for yourself. "I know local pastors that have gotten involved in money-making opportunities to help the church financially..." Your question is, is this okay? My answer would be, only if he wants to. There's nothing wrong with anyone making money. As for any Pastor...

Yeshua1, I sent you a PM.

A "phobia" is a fear. Not approving of one's lifestyle does not make you homophobic. If we don't approve of one doing meth does that make us meth-phobic? These folks are demanding they be accepted and approved by all but then demand special recognition. An oxy-moron? I would...

About 35 years ago I visited a Baptist Church in upState Zoo York and couldn't help but notice the entire congregation appeared to be 70 plus years of age, including their pastor. During the service I audibly said, "Amen", in response to a comment the pastor made at which time about 3/4th of...

...well, it looks like the most of you folks have everything all tucked away nice and neat for that rainy day. Good for you. The only Baptist Church I ever attended with the music projected on the wall was when said music was accompanied with a sax, a guitar, drums, banjo, an electric organ...

What 'cha gonna do if the power goes off?

A man wrote a letter to a small hotel in a Midwest town he planned to visit on his vacation. He wrote: "I would very much like to bring my dog with me. He is well-groomed and very well behaved. Would you be willing to permit me to keep him in my room with me at night?" An immediate reply...

RD2, from personal experience..., I know first hand how to test ones faith. Let them find themselves broke! No, I have never lost my home as the Lord has provided but in just losing the ability to enjoy the perks in life that once came second nature, requires quite an adjustment...

More people die each year from medical error than all the gun shooting combined.

What is really sad is when this 15 year old said, "I don't think I want to..." I believe her fate is sealed! The Lord can change her but short of His intervention all words of encouragement is wasted. I think back to when I was 15. Most kids back then we were doing a lot of looking but...
