    is it sinful to be a scofflaw?

    I know Jesus called us to obey the laws of man and calls us to have reverence for the authorities. So dies that mean we should obey the laws of society simply because they are the law? I know there had been a lot of discussion about the ethics of obeying unjust laws or laws which go counter to...

    is there anything inheriantly wrong with enjoying the secular aspects of Easter and Christmas.

    Well my husband and I, for the first time in almost 8 months attended a church service together last Sunday. We were brought to this church by chance because we happened to befriend a woman we met during the Gay pride parade (the long and short of it was she was there to protest, we were there...

    the lottery curse

    Who here is familiar with the lottery curse? You know the way often times jackpot winners end up losing everything in a very short time with only the solace of knowing who his or her true friends really are? I know a lot of my posts are very strange and fanciful and in many respects...

    best response to "Where's your Messiah now? "I have ever heard

    Last Saturday my husband and I went to the pride parade. No we do not support that life style and no we weren't there for the glory of Christ, my husband is just super immature and he likes too gawk and snicker (much like a 13 year old would). At the end of the night around 1 AM we returned to...

    is going to a church of a more contraversial denomination better than no church at all?

    I just found out that my husband may be willing to give church another try. Of course that makes me happy but life everything with my husband, he reason is way more immature than one would guess. Last week he decided he wants to be a pit master. I found out when he had his cronies at work (his...

    what guidance does the bible give concerning the toxicity of current gender politics?

    I went to one of those women only screenings of the Wonder Woman movie with a friend of mine from my husband's office (I am still the fill in receptionist ). It was an absolute blast, the theater had little prizes, little give aways, special menu, for all the aspiring super sheros out there. It...

    A couple days ago there was another major stir in the family that made me wonder what exactly does it mean to be "my brother's keeper". Right now every one in my family is furious with my husband. On Wednesday I was out running errands with my mother when I received a panicked call from my...

    what love really is

    Allot of people question why I stay with and be so submissive my husband despite the immaturity, the infidelity, and our often opposing views on ethics. I know why I do, but it is very difficult to articulate to others how they don't know him like I do. Then every now and then he does something...

    how important is it for Christians to refrain from joking around about illegal/immoral activities?

    For the last couple days I have been following my husband to work to fill in for a receptionist who just had a baby. The work environment is interesting for lack of better words. There is a lot of horseplay, immaturity, and goofing off to say the least. My husband, being the engineering manager...

    philosophical question about spousal abuse as viewed through a cultural lense

    I recognize that this could be an extremely controversial topic but I do believe that it merits due discussion in a Christian marriage forum. I would first like to preface this with the following: my heart and prayers go out to the woman who posted the seeking guidance thread...

    As I sit here convalescing from the stab wound my husband lovingly gave me I have had much time to both ponder and receive much criticism about how this whole chain of unfortunate events were put in motion. Ultimately I knew in my heart of hearts this was an accident that could have easily been...

    All of you who have responded to the thread about my husband's dead friend, are really helping me satiate some of my curiosities about mortality. Thank you.
