    The Room

    THE ROOM 17-year-old Brian Moore had only a short time to write something for a class. The subject was what Heaven was like. "I wowed 'em," he later told his father, Bruce. "It's a killer. It's the bomb. It's the best thing I ever wrote." It also was the last. Brian's parents had forgotten...

    Should I be a Christian? Help me

    I find myself at a disadvantage in situations like this. I have been a Christian for as long as I can remember (though not always a practising one). I have no conversion experience to recall. What I can tell you is that, as you have undoubtedly read on this forum and elsewhere, God demands to...

    I'm Sure This Is happening Here Too!

    Does the Book Of Mormon say Blacks are cursed, full of mischief and subtlety?

    Don't you find it amazing that this is stated so simply and concisely, and yet humanity keeps trying to build other bridges to circumvent this one? How hard is it to understand? There is one way to eternal life (and to avoid eternal damnation) - Jesus Christ. As to the color of the skin, I...

    How to get to heaven when you die

    ^ I'm sorry. I didn't want to seem like you were doing it wrong. I just meant that there are multiple ways to witness to somebody. Some will respond to how you do it, while others will need a more personal touch. I truly apologize if you felt I was criticizing. I didn't mean that at all.

    How to get to heaven when you die

    ^ You know, that's all fine and dandy, but the results will be limited. Being in a sales job, and also having my owne business where relating to different types of people is important, I understand that different people will need to be approached differently. Some people you can slap in the...

    How to get to heaven when you die

    ^ I agree with most of what you are saying. Letting Jesus show through you, in both love and peace, is very important. It's something we all need to try to do every minute of every day. Unfortunately, I can think of a couple of incidents recently where I failed. I know I am forgiven, but the...

    What is your "Love Language"?

    I would fall under physical touch, and words of affirmation. Neither of these two is a strong one for my wife, however. She is definitely a gift giver. Giving and receiving gifts is far and away her main love language. Since that one is way down the list for me, I have to make a conscious...

    Fencing

    Aquariums

    Are you planning a normal tropical fish aquarium? Or a salt-water tank? Or do you want aggressive fish? You will need to determine this first. Also, if you use a product like Stress Coat, you can cut down a little on the wait when you set up the tank. A couple of weeks, this product, and...

    How to get to heaven when you die

    Sometimes discussions have a tendency to go that way. They may start off innocent enough. But things can escalate pretty easily. Perhaps a mod should have moved the improper posts to a new thread in the proper topic. I know I've done that on other forums I have modded on. But yes. We need to...
