    Different news sources

    My opinion on the subject is that the news media has become so biased to one direction in last several years to the point where it almost feels like you need something blantantly biased in the opposite direction to sort of "balance" the political spectrum. Personally I don't watch news but will...

    Do you think Biden (and Co) is as bad as Stalin?

    Comparing Biden to Starlin is as absurd as the left once attempt to associate President Trump to Hitler. Also, before speaking of them killing unborn/babies, some real responsibilities lie on us, the Christians, the house of God, for letting things happen. If you are really serious and sincere...

    Lust

    There is a sermon series by Andy Stanley, The New Rules for Love, Sex, & Dating (look it up), and this has certainly helped me personally in dealing with lust/temptation. While it does not approach the subject fully from the scriptural perspective, it does address the subject from this angle...

    Paul said the married cannot please God...let’s discuss why.....

    While as a single man I would never really know but I can tell the burden, the weight on the shoulders of those who are married, esp with children. It's not the same - it's not just the available time you have but the weight/responsibility you have to carry as a father/mother is on a different...

    Dear Ladies: You Can’t Custom Order A Husband Like You Can A Starbucks Drink

    1 Corinthians 13 comes to mind. You should focus on "becoming the right person you are looking for is looking for" rather than focusing on finding that right person under the myth of meeting the right person = happily ever after. Check out Andy Stanley's 'The New Rules for Love, Sex, and...

    What Bible translation is your favorite?

    "favorite" Bible at the time in chronological order: 1. NIV - it was my first Bible in high school and most kids in youth group had this version. 2. KJV - yes, I got this only because the girl I liked had KJV (never liked its ancient language) but eventually became my main one. 3. Tanakh - do...

    Does the Bible condone Corporal Punishment in Marriage or relationships?

    Make sure you do the same by slapping him when he is bad. Make sure, also, to get into a proper stance so you could put your whole weight into it.

    Just my tale.

    I rarely read through long posts these days (short attention span?) and this one somehow caught my attention, ended up reading it all.. and feel like I do have some thoughts I would like to share but don't know where to begin - so here is my take if I may: 1. Welcome to the forum - make...

    "Women Only Want Money"; "Men Only Want Sex." How Do You Cope With These Assumptions?

    Personally I can't relate to this because I haven't encountered anyone in my life that would trigger said assumptions. Also, I wouldn't waste my time trying to prove anything to them - they aren't probably important and worthy of my time, and those who are important and worthy of my time...

    How should I act on my feelings in this situation ?

    Exactly - that's what I was saying, you and seoulsearch are two different/distinct people. I would assume you would understand where she is coming from, especially when you work with children closely, and yet it doesn't surprise me that you find it weird.

    How should I act on my feelings in this situation ?

    I understood as to why seoulsearch did someone else's homework as she explained why. If you find that weird, nothing's wrong with it and it's because you are Lanolin, not seoulsearch.

    Whatcha Cookin'?!

    Grilled salted mackerel with white rice? You are missing out Lynx... So does mackerel sushi - lot of people may not like it for its vinegar marinated texture but it is one of favorites of mine.

    How do you know if singleness is for a season or lifestyle?

    Telltale signs? Not sure about telltale signs but it is interesting how God did put Adam through two things after He said it's not good for a man to be alone instead of bringing Eve right away: (1) He brought out all the animals to see what Adam would name them (and perhaps make him realize...

    Help with daughter

    That would be the case, asking her if everything is okay, in a typical family situation. BUT, the Op stated that she is seeking advice because her grown daughter is VERY disrespectful of her, meaning this is more likely not an isolated incident but an on-going situation. Asking if everything is...

    Help with daughter

    Never been married so I have no idea what it is like to have one of my kids disrespecting me like that (well, I have a pretty good idea what I will do, anyways). Just reading off of your post, my first thought was maybe you are supporting her behavior unknowingly. It's your house so it is your...
