    Advice in "The Search"

    Making yourself available could also mean that you allow yourself to be a little vulnerable. I am 66 years old, and I can tell you that I can be a bit standoffish myself, if my understanding is correct. What I think that means is that I tend to put up barriers around myself and when I meet new...

    The Atheist Asks

    From my Lutheran perspective, and I'll quote from Luther's Small Catechism, "I believe that I cannot by my own reason or strength believe in Jesus Christ, my Lord, or come to Him; but the Holy Spirit has called me by the Gospel." To witness includes sharing the gospel.

    The Atheist Asks

    I don't actually know it per-se, but I believe it because I believe what the Scriptures say. Now, that doesn't answer the question so I would simply ask them how they know that Christopher Columbus or George Washington or even Elvis Presley really existed. There's no way to prove they existed...

    How many of us understand Grace?

    This is how I understand grace. By definition it is unmerited favor. In terms of God's grace toward us it is His withholding our destruction for as Scripture says, we have all fallen short and all deserve death for the wages of our sin is death but in God's divine love toward us He has made a...

    Truck Has Served Me Well

    The second one I took just a half-hour ago on my way home from town. I set the cruise at 55mph and the drive to this town is a little more hilly than the other one but not real bad. The wind today is light from the east and the town I was in was east of me, so I faced the wind on the way to town...

    Truck Has Served Me Well

    I've had my 2016 F-150 with 2.7L v6 Tubo from new. When I purchased it, I reset the onboard computer. Every time I fill up with fuel, I reset the trip meter to record my average mileage. So far, I have been more than pleased with this vehicle. It has enough power to tow anything I've needed...

    Advice in "The Search"

    In my life experience it isn't about searching because searching makes one look desperate and that is generally an undesirable trait. Make friends first and let nature take its course from there because the best person to fulfill the role of a wife would also be one that is a very good friend.

    Advice in "The Search"

    We do appreciate the calmer demeanor in the last few posts but this discussion has gone off topic so how about we end this here and get back to the topic of the thread. Let's remember to follow Paul's teaching. Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving...

    If Your Spouse Can’t Have Sex, How Do You Keep Your Marriage Strong?

    I know all too well the frustration, rejection, humiliation, and pain (blue balls). I've been married twice, and the earie similarities are hard to overlook. My first marriage seemed to be going well with regard to our intimacy for about the first two years. Then, quite suddenly, my wife seemed...

    Advice in "The Search"

    Okay fellas, that's about enough of the sarcasm being thrown about. I'm going to post this reminder from our Terms of Service. Please review and act accordingly. I will invoke thread bans if necessary. 1.0: At ChristianForums.Net, all of our site policy is built around one common theme: To...

    Is It Just Me?

    I guess we're getting a bit off topic, including me. My OP was about what seems to be a push for excessive use of plastic bags.

    Is It Just Me?

    There's also another alternative for guys like Corn Pop. I hear it all the time. Big business is gouging the people. Well, if anyone feels strongly about that and want to make change, start your own business in competition with them. If you're correct in your assertion, you should be able to...

    Is Baptism necessary for Salvation?

    Perhaps rather than wondering if baptism is necessary for salvation the thought should be that baptism is necessary because of salvation.

    Is It Just Me?

    The quarter is returned when the cart is put back and it works, believe it or not. At least around here you won't find a loose cart in the parking lot. As far as the eliminated job for the person to gather the carts from the lot and return them to the store, well, right now it is nearly...

    Is Baptism necessary for Salvation?

    Looking at this question from a slightly different angle, I wonder, if someone claims to be a believer but then refuses to be baptized, would that be sinful since it is a command to baptize disciples? Would it also indicate that the person is not truly a believer?

    Esther 4:16 versus 5:1

    Questions can be asked for clarity. Phrasing questions to invoke debating is not part of the purpose of this Q&A forum. Choose another forum to do that.

    Esther 4:16 versus 5:1

    Probably should get this discussion back onto the topic of the OP. Start a new discussion if you wish to talk about the crucifixion and resurrection of our Lord. Also, keep in mind that this forum (Q&A) is not a debate forum but only used to ask questions and get answres. If the OP has...

    Is It Just Me?

    They do that to encourage people to replace the cart after use. This saves the cost of hiring someone to collect the carts from the parking lot as you know everyone always puts the cart away when they are done with them (sarcasm intentional). It's one of the ways they reduce costs so they can...
