No, just no. The resident Lynx isn't a cougar.

You wouldn't want to share the better hope with your brother, if you didn't belong to God. My own family want nothing to do with Jesus either. All we can do is share the message of His life, death, and resurrection, so people can make an informed choice. If they pass up the open invitation...

If your fiancé was habitual in wandering off from Jesus, he was bound to follow the same pattern and go away from you. His desertion says far more about him, than it could ever say about you. Don't take it personally, because it's not your failing to be saddled with.

I had no bother attracting biting and stinging insects in my youth. Some older women had a thing for me when I hit my early teens, but my shyness made their advances as unwelcome as the nuisance of wasps or mosquitoes on a camping trip. I praise God, for my apprehension around the opposite sex...

I used to be a creature of this habit, and not in moderation. Walking out on the world and bringing the weed with me, wouldn't have cleared the path for the renewal of my mind. When I was stoned, my psyche was ensconced someplace between Narnia and Space Mountain. Hardly a premise for aligning...

Escape room or a fog date if money was tight. Harmless fun, concealing an exit strategy. If things weren't going swimmingly, I could leave my date trapped or vanish into the mist. Wouldn't have to contend with pushing on a pull door either. Nothing worse than trying to make a hurried departure...

Best call you'll ever make! 🙏 Things get real when we've had enough. I was only willing to meet God on His terms, after I'd had a belly full of living for myself. Never looked back. Welcome to the forums.

The world equates peace with an absence of conflict. A pretence which is paving the way for the gradual acceptance of everyone who crosses our path. To maintain false peace, we must compromise at every turn. Sacrificing our conscience to tolerate or endorse the surge in moral corruption...

Screw, nut, then bolt. Funny how an assembly sequence from my day job lends itself as a sexual innuendo about casual hook up culture. My own vetting of any prospective partner in marriage wouldn't call for an inspection of their sexual health. If I'd reached the chapter of engagement, I would...

I quit smoking weed 12 years ago. As a teenager, my mind was usually ensconced somewhere between Narnia and Space Mountain. I would get stoned while vibing to my favourite music. The heightened sensory experience of getting high while exploring instrumental textures and timbres made me feel...

Same place as those grazed knees after a fall, when we were children.

Devaluing yourself will prevent you from comprehending the drawing/pulling power that your new nature will have on men of God. To switch from same-sex attraction to desiring the other gender is a seismic shift. You doubt whether you're Christian enough? What could be more true to life than...

No bathroom is complete without a whimsical frog valet to hold the ladies and gents napkins 🎩 Fair trade for the hazmat suit? Some protection might allay the trauma of my trade, because the bathroom is the no man's wasteland in many vacated rental properties. :censored:

Not made from wood? Did you inherit Fred Flinstone's kitchen hewn from bedrock? Assuming your cabinets are made from an engineered wood product, like melamine faced chipboard, a lasting repair is simple to achieve. You can plug any worn fixing holes with wooden dowels. Squeeze some PVA wood...

A repercussion from our predecessors. Red flags were like a drawing card for a carnival in Generation X's heyday.

Without exception. Needless to say that praying for the sake of being seen is a pretense. But say you and I had a disagreement, and I verbally communicated my regret to God in private, but you just so happened to overhear my prayer without my knowing of it. Would that invalidate my remorse and...

Exactly. Jesus was denouncing expressions of devotion intended to demonstrate one's godly character. Emphasising how holiness is not a public performance to obtain human approval (virtue signalling), but a deep commitment (the secret thoughts and intentions of the heart) which produces sincere...

If God were in the business of showing favouritism, surely he would have spared His Son? If anyone felt underprivileged enough to deplore how others were the beneficiary of preferential treatment, it would've been Jesus, who died in our place at His own expense. In that light, God does not...

A few... :whistle: It's not unusual for an invited guest to no show, or make a late cancellation, so I figure the bride and groom would rather accommodate a mannequin at their wedding than see an empty seat at their reception. Setting the table for - "How To Deal With Uninvited Wedding Guests" :eek:
