Life is full of mutually contradictory advice on what is really important.

The best way I've found to determine which advice is true, is to watch the elderly people who are happy. Not the cranky old goats - they may have survived, but life turned them into grumps. I've been watching the happy ones, and trying to find out how they lived their lives.

Observation: Many elderly people hate new music because it is unfamiliar. Many kids hate old music because it is out of style.

Observation: All the christian music I have found so far, in every style, has some songs with a good message and some songs that are just puff pieces - junk generated to fill another album and make more money.

Observation: People can get really defensive about their right to like or dislike something. In music they usually support this by cherry-picking the good or blah songs in a given style as "proof" that this style is good or bad.

Observation: In every style there is good music and God's message is carried.

Conclusion: If I ever get old enough to start rejecting all new music as junk, I should try to be very quiet about it. Some kids are probably getting a blessing from that junk.

Intelligence is like all the other tools we have to get through this life with - strength, money, keen eyesight, etc. Intelligence is a tool I can use the right way or the wrong way.

When I use it the right way, intelligence becomes wisdom and makes the world better. It's like learning to use a hammer to build a house.

When I use it to make witty insults to cut people down... I learn to use the hammer to smash people's fingers.

I haven't been on C.C. for a year :( Is this forum, profound thoughts, still active? I haven't seen anything later than 2018.

Thanks for any help. Fellow Pilgrim

Proverbs 12:23 KJV


A prudent man concealeth : but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.


Proverbs 14:15 KJV


The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going.

If a man had the full wisdom of God would he be smart enough to solve all of life's problems, or would he be wise enough to see how sin is ruining life??

If God came to you and asked if He should end the world and asked why, what would you say??

Would you rather date someone worth their weight in salt or someone with a heart of gold????

How would you spend your time if you had infinite time like God???

Sorry I did not get it. 😅

Hell is really underneath the Earth. It has many portals as stated in the Scriptures. One is in the outskirts of Jerusalem. Another is in Sodom and Gomorrah. Another is in the dead sea. I forgot the other portals.

Please would you quote where scripture states Hell's gates are? Why South Korea? What's the reason for a gate if people can't get in or out?
