    Is It Just Me?

    It just seems strange to me. The other day one of the items I purchased at our local grocer was a pound of bacon. Now, bacon is packaged vacuum sealed in heavy plastic and yet the checkout clerk put it in a separate plastic bag before placing it into the paper bag I requested. If I catch them...

    Is It Just Me?

    I do save some to use as small trash can liners or other purposes but I certainly don't need that many. Yes, I could return them to the store but as I've mentioned already, I rarely shop Walmart and so remembering to return them would be another issue. To me it is a huge waste. People claim...

    Is It Just Me?

    The question is why? They are in sealed containers and wrapping them in a plastic bag would do nothing if a leak developed.

    Is It Just Me?

    I'm a hold out on self checkout. I figure if I'm going to do business there, the least they can do is have a live person accept my payment. It's one of the reasons I rarely shop at Walmart anymore. There are just a handful of select items that I still obtain from Walmart otherwise I do most...

    Pregnancy message

    chelle, I will add to this Matthew 6:25-34 (NKJV). “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they...

    Is It Just Me?

    Is it just me or is there a real effort by many retailers, particularly Walmart, to use as many plastic bags as possible? I'm constantly having to tell them to use fewer bags as I don't need to load up the landfill with plastic bags. Some examples. Just today I stopped in at our local Walmart...

    Recommendations on Mowers

    This past winter I purchased a battery powered snow blower. I wanted something light weight that I could use on top of my deck. It is a 40v Skil. This summer I decided to cut the cord on my weed whip and get a battery powered one so I could use it along our pasture fence or other areas away from...

    Speaking in tongues and the Holy Spirit

    Repentance. Having become a changed person is one way.

    Speaking in tongues and the Holy Spirit

    My Rock, this is where I think you may be putting the Holy Spirit in your box so-to-speak.

    Speaking in tongues and the Holy Spirit

    Exactly. Not all will receive the same gifts and included in that list is speaking in tongues. How is it you do not see that? Certainly, some will speak in tongues but not necessarily all. Some will receive the gift of prophesy, some the gift of apostleship, some the gift of teaching, some the...

    Speaking in tongues and the Holy Spirit

    That is not what I said. I said, claiming that the only way the Spirit manifests Himself is through speaking in tongues when Scripture clearly indicates that there are multiple other gifts that could also be given depending on His will is putting Him in a box. What I mean by putting Him in a box...

    Speaking in tongues and the Holy Spirit

    Again, you say "often served" but not always and yet you claim that speaking in tongues is the only way one can know the Holy Spirit has indwelled the person. This is a contradiction. I'm not saying that speaking in tongues is not evidence of one receiving the Holy Spirit, I'm saying that it...

    Speaking in tongues and the Holy Spirit

    In your assertion above you said, "The pattern established in Acts 2 is consistent with later accounts in Acts, where the reception of the Holy Spirit is often accompanied by speaking in tongues," and then you go on to say, "3,000 who were baptized and received the Holy Spirit likely experienced...

    Been having a major disagreement with boyfriend and needing some insight and/or advice.

    Marriage is more than just consensual sexual relations between one man and one woman. There's also a personal relationship involved and one that is cooperative, open, honest and binding and not just until one gets bored or something. He (Jesus) answered and said to them, “Have you not read...

    AI and evangelism

    The problem could be from what perspective it is programmed to relate to. People can put too much credence in AI and that would be a mistake.

    I need help

    Ditto from me here. Took words right out of my mouth. A little bit ago I was thinking about what I posted earlier and the thought occurred to suggest that you could start with the gospel of John. That gospel tells a lot about who Jesus is not only as a man but also as the third person of the...

    I need help

    Wow, lots on your mind. I can tell you are very confused and it is understandable, especially in today's society. Jesus said, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength." (Mark 12:30 NIV) Do you think one can love...

    Shaving body hair

    There is nothing Biblical that I am aware of. Like shaving their legs, it is a societal standard that began about 100 years ago when women's fashion began exposing legs and armpits more.
