Can you provide a scripture reference that states we need to accept God? R o m a n s . 6 16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? Rom.7:14 says we are sold under sin...

Just search the two words, "sell" or "sold" and "redeem" or "redeemed" in order to see the difference. We may play with words, but it does not go well most of the time. Too many people use words interchangeably that are not equivalent. "Accept" and "Receive" are two other. They are not...

That price was because of a number of factors (Hurricane Katrina, etc.,) and lasted a short time. Gas prices were cheaper when Obama took office (6½ years ago) than they are now. Obama stated his disdain for the Coal industry, and had a stated goal of bankrupting any who tried to start a new...

When we see it all as being in His hands, totally, we see that if one happens before the other, or the LORD takes half of our lifetime between any subset of these, it is not all so bad, nor is it against scripture. It is His salvation, we are His to do with as He pleases, and our lives are...

There are a number of things that God does for a sinner in bringing him to Christ. Alphabetically, they include: 1- Adoption 2- Atonement 3- Conversion 4- Forgiveness 5- Justification 6- Reconciliation 7- Redemption 8- Regeneration We can argue the order they happen, but scripture shows they...

May the LORD bless each with a good career, and much job satisfaction. Not sure it will be a given, seeing what is soon to become of our Medical System in this country. I just am hoping the best for them.

I like Ben for many of the same reasons i like Herman Cain. They are both accomplished, and very articulate. Neither had a career in politics. I like listening to both of them, and would consider either to be a good alternative to the typical POLITICIAN we usually get. No one will get a...

Here is another one that is pertinent to our discussion. "The Pursuit of Happyness" is one I liked. People in difficult situations can do some real good by going all out, and really trying hard to make something of themselves. There are many opportunities in this great nation.

Thanks for the support on the ideas of how the programs INTENDED to help "victims" actually do lasting and devastating damage. We supplement the terrible aspects of their culture to the point of making it almost impossible for them to recover as a group. How will we (as a nation, our...

Because of the 50 years of "Help" they got. They are being helped into the problems we would like to see them EXIT. You know, a hungry person has a very similar feeling in his belly today as the hungry person did 50 or 100 years ago. The person who is in poverty today, usually is NOT in the...

If you need more explanation, watch the movie, "Gran Torino." I do not suggest it for anything other than the main plot. There is a fellow who, not being a black youth, faced the same challenges in this world that a black male his age would face. It is a cultural problem. Though the two...

OK. We may get some discussion going now. We can refrain from assuming what the other thinks. The answer to the overriding question of motivation for taking a low wage job to do something of value is in my other post, and explains how I could produce a year's worth of value in a week's time...

Did not say they were, but that was not a good way to respond to a direct question about the minimum wage. If $15 is good for people who do not have any skills, why is $27 not better? The young and inexperienced could afford more things, and pay this terribly high cost they will bear as young...

One learns to do things working on the job. (On-the-job training is focused, specific, intense and typically more useful than any classroom setting could be.) He learns things valuable to his future. I have worked for HALF what I could have made at an unskilled job, learned many things, and...

It was stated here that the barber suggested other places she could go, and offered to pay for the cut. I think that is a very reasonable approach. Absent a proof that he stated something that was untrue, it makes sense to believe what he said, especially considering he was willing to pay for...

I had asked a question, and had to ask it more than once. Had not been less than civil - was not really less than civil afterward!

The reason we should not make it $27 is the same reason it should not have been instituted or ever raised. My first minimum wage job was for a little over a $1/hr. I did not have any perspective at the time, but only saw the immediate effect of having a few extra pennies!!! Was just on the...

You know we have Hillary Clinton as one of those "self anointed" elitist, ruling class people. She had a discussion with a "Black Lives Matter" guy who was intent on changing the attitudes of people, but could not get her away from, "No, we change the laws, then everyone is required to do as we...

The answer is in that video. Please watch it. Almost half of all black teenagers are unemployed. If they get any money, they have it given to them (typically government takes it from you and me, and gives it to the people they think should have it,) or they get it by illegal means. It is...

Answering a question with a question? I had hoped you would consider the actual impact of what I asked. There are reasons to have a minimum wage, but they have little or nothing to do with benefiting poor people (as described in the above video with Dr. Thomas Sowell.) He showed that the...
