    Self-Will

    I think we have self-will because our worship of, and relationship with, God is something that needs to be a decision. It doesn't need to be something we do because we're programmed to. God wants a relationship with people, not puppets. The first part of John 3:16 IMO is proof of this...

    What to do when you have been ungrateful

    Perhaps just a simple, "I've done some foolish things lately, and I want to apologize,"?

    That is just adorable! I bet you love hearing the Papa Cheese, though.

    "Miracle" is definitely the right word. Praise the Lord! I would love to see some pictures!

    Love at first sight

    See? Opposites DO attract! :lol

    Yeshua or Jesus ?

    I think that sums it up perfectly.

    Love at first sight

    I think the only time "love at first sight" is true is when your child is born. There's nothing like that. In a relationship, though, like you're talking about - no, I don't believe it. I believe in Lust at first sight, or Infatuation at first sight, but that kind of love has to develop. It...

    In the interest of posting a positive parenting thread...

    Thank you very much. Kids are amazing. All 3 are in different stages, so we are in a 24/7 wave of WOW between our oldest pretending to be Avatar and Ariel the Mermaid, our second daughter putting her mom's sunglasses on upside-down and saying, "Look! Pretty!" and our son calling me "Ba Ba"...

    Just a few goofy pictures of my heathens. They're swinging together, but the camera on my phone leaves a bit to be desired. It's okay. It's just mashed potatoes. Like I've said before, typically in this forum people need...

    Are SUV's Safer ?

    Exactly. After all, we know the rules. Rule #1 - If she ain't happy, you ain't happy. :shrug

    Are SUV's Safer ?

    I had a 1985. It was a hand-me-down from my uncle. I love old rust bucket trucks, and the roof of this thing was a solid sheet of rust. Ran great, though, until the fuel pump went out and I didn't have the tools to replace it, so I sold it. I still see it now and then on the road, and I...

    Is Quran evil work?

    You would be correct, but in my opinion, I don't have to in order to know it's a fraud. Think about bank tellers. They are not trained to know every subtle nuance of every type of forgery that's floating around. Instead, they are taught to know every subtle nuance of legal currency. That...

    My Top-10 personal favorite passages against OSAS

    Thank you. I like to think I get a few now and then. ;)

    My Top-10 personal favorite passages against OSAS

    John, I'm not an OSASer either. I'm also not one who thinks you can wake up with your salvation, lose it by 9am, get it back after lunch, lose it again at 5:47pm, and get it back again by bedtime. That's just ridiculous. But I think you're going about this the wrong way, my friend. You...

    Is Quran evil work?

    Perhaps, but the fact that the Qu'ran teaches Jesus as just a prophet might be a bit of a speed bump, don't you think?

    Are SUV's Safer ?

    In my defense, I tried to talk my wife into a van, but she would have none of it! :dunno

    Are SUV's Safer ?

    It reminds me of a story Bill Engvall used to tell probably 12 years ago or so. How his daughter was a teenager and in his truck with him. They were leaving the store, backing out of the parking space, and he and another guy just backed into each other. He said, "There was no damage.....to my...

    I Just Had to Share a Much-Belated R.I.P.

    Hello, all. Let me start by saying that if this should actually be in a different section, then mods by all means please move it. I was putting together a goofy little post for one of my blogs, when I realized it actually had a lot of my heart in it. And at the risk of sounding corny, I just...

    Are SUV's Safer ?

    We drive a 95 Tahoe - you know, when they were still built more or less like tanks, instead of big plastic boxes on wheels? But even in that beast, we almost always have all 3 of our kids with us, and I'm not trusting their safety to anyone (other drivers included - not many good ones where I...

    Secular Music - Is it a Sin?

    Amen! Like I've said before in another thread - it's up to the individual. If the music isn't a problem for you, then by all means listen to it. If it is, then turn it off.
