    How Often Does a Woman Expect a Man with a "Good Salary" to Actually Be Home?

    Yeah I tried that. She refuses to work with or for me. I even begged. She has the great ability and skills to be a phone answerer and scheduler. Awesome in fact, but there are other issues from her past that she can't let go of. Please pray. What I was trying to convey is that this attitude is...

    Is self-defense biblical or not?

    My initial response is absolutely, emphatically, yes. But knowing myself a little, I know that I have a vindictive mean streak that likes to hunt. And by hunt I mean destroy those things that threaten me or mine. So it comes down to intent. I believe there is a fine line between killing and...

    Why are women in the church judged for being hypergamous?

    Calmador, well said. Here's the reality. No amount of money will buy loyalty. And without a loyal, dedicated, steadfast man of moral fortitude that can withstand the hard times...and with 20 years of marriage to only one woman I can guarantee there are hard times, by our own doing and not. No...

    Deconstructionism in the church

    Perhaps: syncretism, the combining of other religious and or societal beliefs with Biblical truths. Is a better way to define deconstructionism. But this is nothing new. The Body of Christ has had to fight against this from the beginning. Every generation deals with their specific variety of...

    I was at the Barber the other day and another gentlemen was there who's whole family is being attacked by the local county commissioners.
