No need to be rude and insulting.

No. Our heavenly father will not allow his children to be deceived in this way. The mark will be something that is chosen. This fear mongering treats God like he is weak. He is the great I Am and no force will separate Him from those who are his.

Just for the sake of discussion, I know that this is not that situation, but in the case of martial law they can enforce curfews and penalties for non-compliance. If the situation was dire enough I think the governments have all sorts of power. I am not saying all countries would do that but it...

I guess it is a matter of perspective. I see this as an opportunity to show people that I care about their safety more than my wants. Anyone of us could be an asymptomatic carrier. Someone like me, who is immune supressed would be hooped if I encountered someone without a mask who was a carrier...

I need to be creative but being that sort of person interferes with the ability to shut it down at night. I think being single leaves me a little too prone to follow ideas like a beagle follows a scent. About a week ago I had a story idea. I began to write and that is when you get swamped with...

There are no words for what you have gone through. I am so glad he has such an amazing legacy.

I am a Canadian so I had no voting power. I definitely do not support any person's behaviour that goes against God. What scares me is God's children turning on each other, speaking words of hatred and destruction. I just don't want the enemy to find a way to get a foothold in the hearts of...

This! This is the Christian attitude of grace that is so needed. The hatred, anger, and accusations that I've been reading the last while, break my heart. Gossip and feet running swiftly to cause trouble are things God detests. We need to be on our knees praying for God's guidance and peace...

I'll also pray that God might inspire you in your conversations with him, to find out why people withdraw from him. Is there a pattern in his conversation that gives them pause. Maybe he needs a little advice on social interaction. What does he bring to the relationship? What is he offering? Is...

I believe that most of us underline the verses that talk about joy, hope and blessings. We want to celebrate. The other side of the plan, the responsibilities, the self-discipline, the denial of self, the sacrifice and the sharing, meet with a lot more resistance, if not downright denial. The...

Bless you.

And to you as well.

Hi Rob, Welcome to C.C. and enjoy.

Thank you for this. It is not easy to be as honest as this but it is a wonderful testimony to God's love in your life. When people talk about miracles and gifts from God it is easy to focus on the flashy things. I think growth, being reshaped by God, is the greatest miracle within the life of a...

Thanks so much. It is acrylic. I love how working with colour makes me feel.

Knowing the truth and living it are very separate things. I am sad that your husband was exposed to this person. Someone can know about love, talk about it and teach about it while not being loving. It is heart sickening but he was not living as a follower of Christ. If you truly believe...

I would like to add a slightly different perspective. I've heard the "women prefer bad boys/are only in to money/insist on good looking men". I've also heard "men only want young women/slender women/ financially secure women". Both viewpoints may be true for some but it avoids certain other...

The truth is that Christians, people of faith in Christ, are not phonies. There are many people who use the name but real people of faith in Christ are marked with humility, kindness, gentleness, honesty, hospitality, and more. The are self-disciplined, merciful, pursue justice, and have a deep...

Our church had people set up shelter and coffee urns at the ends of their driveways. Parents would get to meet their neighbours and have a cup of coffee to keep warm as they walked with their kids. People really appreciated this. It was a great way to show love for our neighbours and leave a...

Yes.
