glfredrick, good for you. :thumbsup: :godisgood:

Stupid Iphone and fat fingers! Fifty years ago I took two years of typing in High School just for two extra credits. Believe it or not, that was one of the best skills I ever learned but I do have a problem with those small numbers on my wife's cell phone. I don't have one myself.

Would anyone apply the OP line of thinking to preaching services? The retention rate of adults isn't any better. A very small percentage of church visitors & new members remain in the church. I'm of the opinion that way too many preachers are constantly causing way too many people to doubt...

Does playing video games a sin? Sin is specifically spelled out in the Word. Asking another if some habit, life-style, hobby, etc., is sin, is not a good way to approach the matter. If you have doubts then give into the doubt. Take it up with the Lord and let Him tell you. There are...

My Dad faced a vote for dismissal back in about 1965, in the church where his ministry was most blessed by God. His opponents in the church worked the non-attenders on the membership roll and got enough votes to force my Dad out. God later judged each of the ring leaders (cancer, car accident...

I don't know. Are you in the semiconductor industry? No, I'm in the full-retirement industry. :laugh: So, I guess you're not who I thought. I introduced a friend of mine, another Aaron, to this forum and was just checking.

Hey Aaron. Are you the Aaron I know?

What do you think? Modern Youth Ministry a '50-Year Failed Experiment,' Say Pastors A group of pastors and former youth ministry leaders suggest that today’s youth ministries should be disbanded, calling the common practice of separating congregations by age for worship and Bible study...

Just forget about 'em and move on as there's no sense in beatin' a dead horse. Elevate the church with what you have to work with and move it along. These folks might just come back to see what all the excitement is all about.

Christ has a way of showing through even when not one word is spoken about Him. So true.

Well, Since jesus "hunfg out" with sinners, maybe find our exampole from Him! ...uh, what you been sipping lately? :laugh: Don't tell me it's Grandma's cough syrup.

I applaude your patient endurance. Sometimes people just clash. The only thing different would be that I would have that beer with him, but I like beer and don't have any conviction against moderate drinking. If I were to drink anything, especially a full can of beer I would have ended up...

Nicholas25, from me to you. I have a brother-in-law who absolutely has no use for me at all. He holds me in constant contempt as I am a Christian but every time we have a family get-together he's the first one to challenge me to ask the blessing. So, I do. In short, he gives the impression...

Well, yes that's mostly true... the bottom part that you copied at least. You're mixing things up a little up top and confusing yourself, but regardless, none of this would make a $13,500 house cost anywhere near $125,000. I am not using simple interest when I make that statement, that's...

Thousand Hills, thank you for your insights. You would be amazed at what the Lord has shown "us" and how we have grown and come to understand "things" we never realized as a result of filing bankruptcy. For sure the Lord has been with "us" every step of the way. I couldn't begin to tell you...

Somebody doesn't know about basic math. First of all, $125 x 12 months x 30 years = $45,000. corndogggy, I am far from that of a mathematician myself however, one must consider the various ways that interest is assigned. If you finance through a Credit Union one pays an interest rate...

That is the standard reply of someone who hates truth and loves to have their ears tickled. So what makes you think I "hate" truth? You think it..., therefore it is? Speaking of truth, would you share with me our Lord's instruction on dealing with others? You know, ones attitude...

Some people rob banks and some people rob their creditors. One does it with a gun an one with the governments support. ...wow!!! A real congenial approach there, huh? "Some rob banks with a gun..., some rob creditors with government support." You know what comes to mind after reading...

We as Christians are to pay our debt. Not pay them until things get tough, but pay them all even if bankruptcy is used we still should to pay them as we have vowed a vow to pay. The bankruptcy should only be used to get some breathing room so as payment can be done at a pace we can live with...

$38,000 financed at 8% for 5 years would mean interest paid would be about $8,250. Figure it out at 11% Rates have recently come down a bit as car sales are off. How do you figure that? His payment was $125 a month for 360 months. That's a total note of $45,000, meaning he paid interest...
