Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. (JN 8:32)
I wonder gentlemen, how you would approach this issue if you lived in Saudi Arabia,or China or Iran and any other part of the world where persecution is so rampant. It is easy to share the gospel in a country that for now accepts this open sharing. However I think you might be a somewhat more careful who you witnessed to if it might cost your life.
my sister says that he is only a tiny piece in a plan that is working towards armageddon. I agree with your sister. God's plan will come to pass and we cannot know fully how he will do it. I always believed that is is the Jesus in President Bush that was so hated and I believe its the same reason some in the Arab world hate America.
It is not up to Dr. Dobson who I vote for, it is my responsibility to know about the person I'm voting for and the issues important to me as a Christian. I didn't choose John McCain he was chosen for me before I ever had the chance to vote in the primaries. John McCain would never have gotten my vote if I really had a choice.
With all do respect, I'm so tired of blacks acting like they were the only race to ever be enslaved. In the history of man there is not a people group who at one time or another were not oppressed or enslaved by another people group. So please stop with the we were slaves and the white man did it.
I voted for Sarah Palin John McCain was along for the ride as far as I was concerned. When I asked why people were voting for Obama I usually got a blank stare for several seconds which tells me they voted for color. I don't understand the difference in voting for Obama because he's black or not voting for him because he's black.
scitsonga Cranberries cause cancer and eggs are no good for you, skim milk is better than whole. Eat more fish and less red meat to keep your heart healthy. Diabetics stop the sugar! You can make yourself crazy trying to live by all this I choose not to. We will all die from something I hope for me it's too much chocolate.
Other ministries want to show pictures of starving children in South America and Africa and then guilt you into signing that check. They then upgrade their own lifestyle because after all "the worker is worth his keep" I think Jesus will say you have your reward!
Next pass a law making exercise 3 times a week for 30 minutes mandatory for all US citizens. Tooth brushing less than twice a day can result in fined up to $100.00, unless working computer use will be restricted to 3 hours a day.Jogging, long distance running training, and ballroom dancing will be regulated do to trauma to knee joints! When will it END!

Both of these men were pastors and now both pastor outside organized religion. Both are gifted writers and their articles have helped me a great deal to come closer to the Lord in understanding what he really wants from us. I have Christian friends some who still attend church and some who like me don't. Maybe your son's dissatisfaction with the church scene is the Holy Spirits way of moving him to a deeper understanding of what it means to follow Christ. Leaving is not easy, it is very much like a divorce. People you thought were friends run the other way because now your backslid and headed straight for hell. They don't see the difference between Jesus and what we call church. I would be interested in knowing what you think after you check out those web sites.

You could call me unchurched and many many others who have done the organized religion thing and found it wanting. With all the backstabbing, gossip, and in fighting that goes on in "church" why would anyone want to get involved?

You could call me unchurched and many many others who have done the organized religion thing and found it wanting. With all the backstabbing, gossip, and in fighting that goes on in "church" why would anyone want to get involved? The Church in America is little different than working in an office with all the little intrigues and drama. I think churches are full of people brought in by slick marketing and not by the Holy Spirit. Jesus was a friend of publicans and sinners and not real thrilled with Pharisees. When I was involved with organized religion I prayed daily that I would not be a Pharisee and after leaving, the Lord showed me how big a pharisee I had indeed become. I don't expect church people will understand because you still look through the lens of organized religion. Now all you good church people can blast away and tell me how I need to get right with God.less
Last year, the pro-choice organization also said it serviced record numbers of patients and earned over $1 billion in profits, despite an overall decline in the number of abortions throughout the nation. I think this fits the definition of" wind fall profits" Perhaps congress should be looking at Planned Parenthood instead of the oil company's.
