I don't think they had a Victoria's Secret store in first century Israel, or anywhere nearby, and there's a few thousand miles of ocean between there and the USA. Since aeroplanes and even boats capable of that distance were yet to be invented...he probably would not. :)

I'm not offended at all Mr. Happy. Admittedly my first response was a tad knee-jerkish, since it's only in recent months I've finally knocked that beast on the head, so I'm sorry I didn't pitch that post a little less stridently. The main motivation for my comments is in the hope that anyone...

I understand what you're saying, however there is still a problem with posts like the OP. When a person is suffering clinical depression they often experience a skewing of their thoughts that causes them to believe practically anything negative applies to them. Reading such statements about...

True clinical depression is an illness, and nothing to do with mental gymnastics. To pile that burden onto people with a chemical imbalance that disrupts their thought patters and emotions is very cruel and potentially dangerous. It took me many, many years to get the right help, and I was...

Yikes! Or I suppose you could sit in your car in the car park to get the same effect! :cool:

A tree bears fruit because it's a fruit tree. It doesn't have to do mental somersaults trying to fruit. Fruit is a natural consequence of being a fruit tree planted in good soil, watered and with sunshine on it, pruning too when required. For us, it's who we are that causes us to bear fruit...

Build your house on the Rock... this isn't about work, it's about trusting your foundations...who is your faith built on? The Rock - Jesus Christ.

I detest shopping for clothes. Nine times out of ten I come home with nothing, or else a handbag, (purse in American!) because handbags can be depended upon to always fit and never show your bulges or rude bits lol! Here in the UK we need more reasonable quality clothes for taller women and...

:wave:Hi Franky, looks like we posted at the same time!

I've thought the same thing, Franky. God isn't deaf - He can hear our worship without an amplifier! As for films and TV - I often miss huge amounts of dialogue because the actors seem to be muttering under their breath, and then, yes, the music swells upwards and drowns out the last morsel I...

Wonderful testimony! :)

All things! :D

I think John's little slogan there is just fine. If anyone doesn't know him, and if they don't know the Lord, then those words might make them look again at what John says in his posts, might stir their curiosity as to what he really means by "religion". I don't think anything he writes...

She raised you well, and a part of her will live on in your life, you're a living testimony to her love and faith. I know her wisdom has fed into some of your writing so we've all benefitted too. I hope she rallies against this illness and has still more healthy years passing on that legacy...

Jesus has me covered. There's no part of me uncovered that I should require another human's attempt to cover me. The whole idea of churches, elders, pastors etc. claiming they must cover people freaks me out. Ugghh. Get off me!
