Just as the Bible says, "surely your sin will find you out". Those who get banned don't necessarily change their habits or the way they post....

Saying you are a Believer is one thing. Living like you are a Believer is an entirely different thing..

I hear this alot. Bloom where you're planted, or grow where you're planted. What does that mean? Does it mean stay in a church you are attending and never leave? Really? What does it mean to grow where you are planted? How do you know if (or where) you are "planted"? I guess I don't care...

Yep, agreed, been there, got that t-shirt!

Just held you up in prayer, and will continue to. I hope your pain subsides quickly in His name

Never a more true statement!

Oh boy, for sure! The tongue can either bless or curse. Cause a forest fire or steer a ship aground. So, bridling the tongue is important...but oh so hard when ya just want to let someone have it.

Wow, well done! Well thought out and well said.

I'm sure home schooling has a benefit for some. But the drawback seems to be in the area of socializing and developing people skills. A lot of life experiences get missed too, if a parent isn't careful.

People rebel in different ways. For men, back in my day, the long hair, drugs, sex, ect. was a form of rebellion. I can't speak for girls, but I believe it to be true for them as well, women rebel in different ways as well. Back in my day, bra burning, or going braless was seen as a way to rebel...
