I think it violates the board rules although it is a much needed teaching in the church. How right you are! Some discussion of real importance are frowned upon even in polite company. I've read much on the topic and agree with the majority. My point is that if we are going to teach against...

Well then, FAL, I suppose you're right. It's all one big excuse. However, until I die I'll just keep admitting my excuses and my wife will keep getting her nails done. Actually, I don't need any specific encouragement per se. Apparently something was lost along the way in this thread but...

Very interesting comments from both of you Amy G., and annsni. Yes, women are sometimes in competition with other women. My wife goes nuts over finger nail jobs, has a couple three pocketbooks and several pairs of shoes, and gets (what I refer to as) a "temporary" every three months. She...

Amy G., can I pick on you a bit? You said, "You know what they say.....one can never have too many shoes, too many purses, or too much jewelry! I have tried to live up to that!" That is so true of women. As if they are trying to catch an eye? Hey, not trying to pick on you but it is the...

The fact that this concerns you is good, it shows the Spirit dwells in you and is convicting you of sin. Bless the Lord who gives us his Spirit! Winman, you are correct. On occasion I have a problem with this. Other areas of my life, such as one believer might have a problem with greed...

Tater, except for the Grace of God I could be doing life without parole, for just cause. I am truly thankful.

You are making assumptions and excuses that you cannot support. FAL, perhaps 50% of what I say is the result of assumptions on my part. As stated in my opening line, "I would like to explore a topic that never seems to come up in polite company". "To say everyone is in this boat is...

'Offended' parent can't remove classroom cross, court decides A new international court ruling has found that a parent who was "offended" by a schoolroom display of a cross cannot demand that it be removed, a decision U.S. attorneys say will remove one possible reason for activist judges to...

There's a big difference between an adult that is carnal and an adult that is immature. Way too many professing Christians today are just immature.

If in doubt...give in to the doubt. The Lord will bless and you will be provided with appropriate opportunities. Otherwise, just politely decline. Too busy.

Good for him, annsni. Yes, some TV Commercials are really over the top. In all reality I often just keep on going as I really don't care to give any signal of approval to the provocateur, if that's using the word properly. Often though it's so up in ones face it's hard to not notice...

HankD, I got 'ya, but do you recite these verses in your mind when exposed to the enticements? Do you look twice? Or do you gawk for a bit? Well, to be perfectly honest with you, on occasion, I've looked twice and even gawked a few times. On occasion I've even wondered what the tail end...

I would like to explore a topic that never seems to come up in polite company. Specifically, I heard the story many years ago (perhaps just an industry story) of a particular group of Baptist who met for a convention of sorts. Most all attendees registered at the same hotel and after the...

I'm old enough to remember when the Catholics stopped the matter of eating fish on Friday. It made the National News. About this same time they dropped the Latin thing. I witnessed to an 80 year old man a few years ago (born and raised Catholic) and he assured me that he was saved and...

The professor responded "God told me to give you an F." :laugh::laugh::laugh: ...the Lord works in mysterious ways, huh?

The question of whether Noah was successful or not is that while spending 120 years or so building the Ark..., the only ones who followed him were his family. Immediately I came to the realization that I've "family" members who are no more interested in their salvation than Noah's...

Arbo, I thought of Benny Henn and his claims of being told one thing or another as coming from the Lord.

A well seasoned Pastor was talking once with a young Pastor and asked, "Do you believe that Noah was a successful Man of God." The young Pastor responded with, "No, I don't think he was because there is no record of anyone coming to the Lord for 120 years." The elder Pastor...

righteousdude2, you said, "What you believe is simply up to you HAMel, but the Bible is full of incidents where God spoke. In fact, one of my favorite teachings is when God had to speak through Balaam's donkey (Numbers 22) to get his "attention!" The Lord certainly does work in our individual...

Back in the early 1970's I fell victim to two armed robbers one of which, stuck a knife to the back of my neck. During the robbery I had peace about the situation. Just before the they departed the one began to yell at the other one, "Don't stick him - don't stick him"..., at which time they...
