    Well, those two would are petty obvious entries on the list of one should be doing. Well, there are things that are Christian, things that are secular, and things that are anti-Christian. It is that third category that should be avoided. Examples...The Patriot and Unplanned are two movies...

    With So Many "Fish in the Sea", How Many Should Someone be Baiting at Once?

    ...maybe we should be directing this questions over to the married with families forum. We’re all hanging around here so by definition we’re not doing this right. :)

    Is conspiracy, 'Mark of the Beast,' an unhealthy obsession for Christians?

    The Mark of the Beast isn’t going to be some accidental thing that you can end up with without knowing about it. Revelation 14 says ”And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and RECEIVE his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The...

    Um... “ To Adam he said, “Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You must not eat from it,’ “Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat food from it all the days of your life.” -Gen 3:17 Believe me, at the end of...

    Featured Editorial in Christianity Today says: "Trump Should Be Removed from Office"

    To be honest, this isn’t entirely accurate. For instance, if you aren’t familiar with the history of the United States and the grievances set forth in the Declaration of Independence, you may not fully appreciate the importance of the second amendment to us. Also could be true of someone who...

    Controversial Topics Forum

    I’m not sure where you got this idea, but it isn’t correct...even the Didache, predating even the Bible as we know it today, says Didache (100 A.D.) Watch for your life's sake. Let not your lamps be quenched, nor your loins be unloosed, but be ye ready, for ye know not the hour in which our...

    Best christian movie?

    A cautionary word, “The Last Temptation of Christ” is in no way a Christian film. At the time it was released, it stirred up a lot of controversy as its plot “depicts the crucified Jesus—tempted by what turns out to be Satan in the form of a beautiful child—experiencing a dream or alternate...

    Why are you single?

    Thanks, it’s been years now. It was a bit of a kick in the gut at the time, sort of an ”Et tu, Brute?” moment. I retrained and entered a different line of work and all is well.
