The letters are in the mail and I expect that many of them will be delivered today. Please continue to pray for favor and protection. I'm leaving because personal boundaries were not respected - and because there were indications of stalker like behavior. I will not tolerate that. Nor will I...

This is an update to the prayer requests I posted in this thread: http://www.christianforums.com/t7369313/ I had a confrontation today with the local artist/hobbyist. It got ugly and I chose to turn and walk away rather than engage in personal attacks. Best I can tell my offense was one of...

Thank you all for your prayers. Please continue to pray as God brings this situation to you. I will post updates as they occur here in this thread.

Need prayer for several things: (1) I'd say I need a job but what I really need is a whole new career. Don't mind making the change but I figure it means I will need to go back to school. I'm not exactly young and I haven't exactly had good career success as a result of my previous educational...

If you want a living mundane business person check out David and Mart Green. Founders of Hobby Lobby and Mardel. They have given 10's of millions of dollars to Oral Roberts University in the last year - although much of the gift was conditional which suggests it was a manipulative effort to...

Isn't that true of all of us? Are we humans capable of loving as purely and sacrificing as deeply as the Lord has done for us? Who am I to condemn another? I am after all incapable of knowing their intent and desire and the context of their experience and the challenge it brings...

The Christian who has most influenced me is Johnny Cash. Among other things he wrote and financed a movie about the life of Christ which the Billy Graham organization used for many years. Cash also wrote a first person novel about the Apostle Paul. He recorded a New Testament reading. At one...

Seems I can log in but can't post anywhere? What is up with that?

Again, permit me to ask a few questions if I may: (1) If you are not authorized to vote please explain why you feel you are authorized to speak regarding governmental and political matters. In many ways the acts of speaking and voting are quite similar – after all, both offer the...

Are you stating that you believe that you are subject to no human authority? If so, please reconcile that belief with the passage of Scripture in 1 Peter 2:13-14 (AMP) which states, “13 Be submissive to every human institution and authority for the sake of the Lord, whether it be to the emperor...

How can we define what belongs to God? He is Creator of heaven and earth. And we owe Him a debt that we cannot pay. Believers are foolish to think of anything – their lives, their homes, their fortunes - as being their own. We were created to worship Him. The Apostle Paul talks further...

While I do not fault you for it, your lack of formal legal training is obvious. What is or is not reasonable to any particular man is irrelevant. What is legally significant is what is reasonable to the reasonable man. And that has been largely and extensively defined through the precedent of...

Guess what? Even David complained about his government being wicked and unjust. His complaint about the judges of his day sounds very much like those currently in vogue among many fundamentalists. The United States is not a Christian nation and was never intended to be a theocratic...

And you also. Thank you for your response. While we do have our differences it would appear that we indeed have much in common. While I fellowship regularly with other believers, I too have long since left the organizational church. I live in the armpit of the Bible Belt where many of the...

Not exactly. Our democratic republic is a tri-partite government with a system of checks and balances. Seems that the good old boys who designed our government had the good sense to recognize that people are fallen and corrupted by a lust for power, money and sex, among other things. Not all...

I've lived in JOklahoma for most of the past 20 some years. Some of the best folks I've ever known live here. And some of the worst. There are some very sincere, deeply committed, mature believers here - folks who I personally find inspiring, motivational and challenging. My experience is...

You have blessed me with your prayers. Thank you. I will post an update probably sometime after the holidays. In the meantime, please continue to remember my mess in your prayers.

I'm an unemployed soul in the midst of yet another forced career change (first was an employer who could not meet payroll, second was an employer that was forced out of business and faced years of litigation, third was a lay-off in a highly competitive industry). Although I am well educated, my...

So political issues should determine how we vote because a candidate's statements regarding issues reveal the heart of the candidate. Is that correct? Are those statements to be accepted at face value as being completely forthright and lacking in deception and political spin? Why not just use...
