As others have mentioned, what sort of writing you want to do MATTERS. The advice for FICTION and POETRY and TECHNICAL WRITING are all very different from one another. I do Technical Writing professionally (I get paid money to write reports). I know people that write Fiction and Non-Fiction...

Does attending a church save anyone? The answer is: “It depends.” Attending a church that reads and follows the Bible, a church where one can hear expositional preaching from the actual word of God, a church where one can interact with other Christians that know Jesus and can provide true...

On the subject of a “just war”, I think nobody should support any war where you are advocating sending OTHER PEOPLE to die for you. If you are not willing to fight, then your opinion is irrelevent.

Technically, deliberately targeting civilian populations is a tactic that has almost universally failed to achieve military victory. The best example being Germany attacking population centers to exterminate mass civilians in Russia and England, Japan killing mass civilian populations in China...

Respectfully, I disagree.

As long as we go into this with our eyes open to the fact that there is roughly a 4% general inflation rate, so 4% inflation plus a (rounding) 3% real cut is a 7% per year decrease in effective spending. So 7% less of everything that YOU want/need from the Government.

Ok, let’s cut out … - $164 B = Other (all the small programs not mandated by laws) - $76 B = Natural Resources and Environment (no national parks, monuments or EPC) - $112 B = Transportation (no NTSB, no railroad subsidies to maintain track, no federal highways, no airports) - $164 B =...

… and it still is not even CLOSE to making a difference: Slashing budgets (large or small cuts) are just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. That will not fix this problem. Here you go, cut $2 trillion ($2,000 billion) from the budget: $1.31 T Social Security $841 B Net Interest...

Most communities are racially segregated … should we start a program to bus Christians to churches in another community? It is just human nature to be more comfortable with people like us. Race is only one factor. Churches full of “families with children” tend to attract more families with...

At last, a statement that can actually be checked for fact. Most versions (I am not sure if 19th Century translations qualify as “modern” or not) exclude the added text not found in the oldest monographs, however I found NO BIBLE in my limited search that completely “deleted” 1 John 5:7. KJV...

The verse was in every translation that I examined, so I find your claim a bit nonsensical. I assume that you are advocating for the text that appears in no Greek manuscript prior to the 14th century as being part of the “God breathed” autograph. So I’ll bite … what evidence do you have (and...

(1/2 + 1/3) / 5 = (1/2)/5 + (1/3)/5 = (15/30)/5 + (10/30)/5 = 3/30 + 2/30 = 5/30 = 1/6

(1/2 + 1/3) / 5 = (3/6 + 2/6) / 5 = (5/6) / 5 = (5/6) / (5/1) = (5/6) x (1/5) = (1/6) x (1/1) = 1/6

Scripture never mentions Christians meeting in the crypts beneath Rome, but archeology tells us that they did that, too. What scripture does mention is: Christians being expelled from the synagogue (and the life of the community). Christians being arrested, questioned and beaten for preaching...

Meh … I disagree. Respectfully, that is not my problem. It is not my place to make you see … that is a Holy Spirit thing. Yet, what day is Jesus not LORD of? Scripture is not unequivocal, but the record of history is. Jewish Christians (the earliest converts) met in the Temple and...

Would that not depend on what they DO believe? One can have serious issues wrapping their brain around three ‘persons’ = one ‘godhead’ and still place their trust in Jesus Christ for their salvation [Romans 10:9-10 style]. On the other hand, one who denies the deity of Christ would seem to be...

That is a bit of an apples to oranges comparison. If you or I were challenged to prove that what the “doctrine of the Trinity” teaches is true based on scripture, we (you and I) could certainly do so. Therefore, the fact that the WORD “Trinity” does not appear does not mean that the teaching...

Proverbs 17:6 [ESV] Grandchildren are the crown of the aged, and the glory of children is their fathers. How much more … Great-grandchildren! Congratulations.

Yes and no. YES … there is no verse that explicitly states “Sunday (the first day of the week) is the Lord’s Day.” NO … Jesus Christ (the Lord) was resurrected on the first day of the week [Mark 16:9] and following that event, Jesus’ followers often gathered on the first day of the week [Acts...

Evangelicals (and other Christians) would be better served by looking to JESUS to energize them. Then whatever is happening in Washington would be irrelevant.
