    Parents VS. School

    Troy, thankyou for your words of encouragement. I don't visit hear much anymore. Jesus has been my awsome counciler through this. I was reminded of Job and how his supposed friends accused him of having some kind of sin. ==Why else would such a terrible thing happen? Surely their...

    Parents VS. School

    Lilylamb wrote "your children have some serious concerns" My children have serious concerns? That's pretty good that you can tell that from my comments about a joke note and drawing habits. I'm not sure exactly what parts of what I've said makes some of you say my children have issues...

    Parents VS. School

    VOW wrote "Children making threats are NOT playing games." I'm sorry Vow, but you are completely wrong in your assesment of my son. He is not in any kind of crisis situation. and I am not in denial on this issue. Jukest9 wrote "I'm not trying to criticize you here. But do you...

    Parents VS. School

    You all watch too much tv. They're brothers ages 11 and 9. and they have an older brother age 11 1/2. As far as counciling goes, my mother has a masters in phsycology, so I get plenty of that. The problem with this situation is either 1.I drop out of college that I've spent about...

    Parents VS. School

    VOW I appreciate your comments, but you are wrong on your assesment. It would be too hard for me to explain fully all factors that must be considered. In short, the sibling rivalry that I see everyday between the two is alot of joking and teasing. He would never tell his brother in person...

    Parents VS. School

    What actions can I take against the school when they make a decision against my son concerning discipline?  I've talked with the super intendent, he agrees with the decision of the principle.   You all may remember me asking questions about my youngest son age 9 4th grade...

    Divided house

    This pastor sounds completely different than a conservative and mission oriented youth pastor. It almost sounds like a political mess. Can the pastor be voted out by the church in whole? and does the church in whole see the pastor as a good thing or a bad thing?

    To fellowship or not to fellowship

    I understand that Jesus did fellowship with the sinners. But we must keep in mind that he did this in a social gathering with his disciples at his side(for the most part). This has been called table fellowship. So, yes, we should fellowship them, but in the sense of church activities or when...

    Divided house

    The youth pastor can still persue his missional focus, but on a personal basis. The new pastor may not be mission minded, but he can be talked to a reasoned with that missions is an important area and that all missions questions and concerns be put into the hands of the youth pastor. I see no...

    Dog lovers?

    My wolf/dog is very freindly with my 3 boys. He is really a timid dog. He won't outright bite a stranger unless they get to close, then he'll start pacing back and forth with little warning barks. Right now I've got him on a chain until I build a fence. I let him in about 3 times a week.

    Ordained by God?

    For me, it happened over a period of time. It was at the time that I stepped out of church. I had made a decision that I no longer wanted anything to do with God. But God didn't see it that way. He wouldn't let me go, He was constantly at my side and reminding me of His goodness. It was...

    Are the three one?

    Are the three one? I'm from the other camp. I beleive in one God, who walked amoung us in the flesh as Jesus. If any were to take a few months and really study the oneness of God from my perspective (Oneness) and really look at what trinitarians think are contradictions, then you'd find...

    Education

    I've read some good posts and the awsome testimony of the bible school scholarship. That is just awsome. It seems like a confirmation from God. Usually I wait for at least 3 confirmations. I just want to add a few things. Pray much and seek God's time. Abraham was promised a child and it...
