Of course, if you're abiding by the logic in this thread, then we're all sexual sinners because we are all using computers and each and every one of us are only 3-4 clicks away from inappropriate contentography.

It also occurs that I should mention that I have the opinions I do, despite the fact that my brother was a victim of gun violence. I'm more than qualified to state my case. Read: He was *murdered* by a woman who he thought loved him. If she didn't have a gun, she would have committed the crime...

Jesus didn't teach pacifism. If he did, none of his disciples would have been carrying swords. EDIT: I see my response was at the same time as another. Case in point.

To answer the gun question: How do I put this? I am Christian and I own, well, a safe full of firearms as well as a few other toys. You know what? I enjoy shooting as a competitive sport. I've never shot anyone and I hope I never do. I don't have what you have referred to as an American...

While there is no room for cockiness in worship, I will say that sometimes there's more to a situation. Also sounds like you may not be giving anyone the benefit of the doubt. Friend I know just became senior pastor of a dying church. He's trying to make some changes to bring people back in and...

We use ProPresenter. It's not cheap ($800 for an unlimited use church license), but it makes things super easy. Been using it for years.

My little practice area in the office:

Well, I now own my first *decent* roadworthy amp. Fender Rumble 200 Head + Hartke 4x10 Cabinet. Local music store hooked me up too, been going there since I was a kid. Got a good price, got to talk to an actual bassist, not a guitarist who happens to sell *all* amps (looking at you, Guitar Center)

Checking in way late. Was the church drummer for a long time. Really started developing a passion for bass during that time. While I was developing a passion, the old drummer that was *trying* to learn bass realized he didn't have any passion for it whatsoever. Once I realized that I was going...

Nothing yet other than an initial confirmation. See update lady night. Gotta figure out if I need to do something over the next 3wks

So, another questions comes up. She seems legitimately interested, but due to our scheduling it's going to seriously be 3 weeks before we're both available. Neither of us seem to really be the 'online chat' or the continuous text type, so what's the best way to move forward? Basically, I don't...

I don't think that having a few decent weapons would be 'preparing for a blood-bath.' I wholeheartedly believe in hunting and personal defense. I wouldn't go on a rampage, but I wouldn't stand idly by while others did.

I didn't date for a long time. I had some scars I had to deal with before I could. Some deep scars. The kind that don't let you connect to people. I'm 30 years old and just now getting into the dating world seriously. I had to learn to forgive before I could move into this part of my life. Now...

You'd be surprised at the variants out there now. Tons of different calibers. That being said, I'd rather have an AK variant than an AR in a survival scenario.

I'm not a *have three months of rations ready to go at a moment's notice* type prepper....that being said, I am a guy that will keep a change of clothes, a blanket, and some water in his car...in my house I also have a camping bag that I legitimately take camping, but it's typically ready to go...

I've been accused of being too picky, myself. Here's the thing that I've learned. I don't think you really change anything to 'get' the wholesome girl. I've been actively seeking relationships for too long and you know what I've found...I don't think you 'get' a wholesome girl. Two things...

Of course, in my weird world, with my somewhat twisted sense of humor, my first thought was 'Guess it was a good Sermon' :D

So, update for all of you continuing the saga. My buddy was being a total slacker and knowing that, as time fades so do opportunities, I just prayed about it and went for a hail mary. Specifically, I mentioned that I didn't have her contact info, enjoyed our chat at the wedding, and that I was...

Note: I am the king of missed chances / no smoothness/suaveness whatsoever. Long story short, I went to a friend's wedding last night. I met an awesome, Christian woman at the wedding (bridesmaid, actually) who happens to live about an hour away. We had pretty much everything in common, but...

I was still a little steamed the following week...while I initially thought about 'taking my ball and going home' my desire to serve our God outweighs whatever stuff I'm going through with church administration. I even spoke with our worship leader down there and told him this specific fact...
