I'm not an expert but I can share the explanation I was given. Basically the cities where God commanded every person to be killed, male and female, young and old, were worshiping baal or similar false gods. These gods demanded followers to commit atrocious acts such as burning newborns alive. If...

Thank you all so much for your responses. This is an area I've struggled with for quite awhile. Nobody in my real life knows that I donate. 1. Because I don't want to seem like I'm doing it for approval, or to show off, or whatever. 2. Because my family can be quite derisive about donations and...

Each week I donate a little over 10% of my income to charity. I want to give more but then I feel guilty, like I'm depriving my children in some way:confused:. I pay my bills and have zero debt. My children have everything they need and quite a few of their wants. Some weeks I give over 20%...

Okay, after reading your responses I'd like to alter what I said. I guess what I really mean is that I'm finding it hard to find good examples of Godly marriages and Godly parenting in my community. People who are positive and uplifting and inspiring...

Thank you all for your kind words of comfort and support. He could have lived as long as Methuselah and it still wouldn't have been long enough. Andrea I wrote his wife a letter today and had my husband leave it on her table for her to read when she had time. There lies the problem, my...

I don't think it is about emulating. If a child does baking with their grandmother they're not emulating her and she is not saying that her way of baking is the only right way. She is sharing her hard earned tips and tricks to make baking easier and tastier. The child could learn to bake on...

We don't trick or treat but our church has a 'light party' where the kids can dress up as anything non-scary (devils, ghosts, monsters, killers, witches, etc.) At the party we have a shared meal with plenty of candy and desserts. The kids play games like tail stomp and bucket toss while the...

Sooner or later your child will go out into the world and come into contact with things that go against your family's faith and beliefs. Your job as her parent is to teach her what you believe and why you believe it. A halloween themed party shouldn't be a threat. To me it sounds like she just...

Why is it so hard to find respectable godly couples to come alongside younger couples to mentor them in marriage, parenting, and faith?

Yesterday I went to the funeral of a wonderful man I've known 19 years. I cried so much. Partly for the loss of a man who always made time for everyone, especially the youth, making even the most abused and neglected feel loved, welcome, and accepted. Partly because he died of a brain tumor like...

PTSD is a terrible thing that many people do not recognize or understand. My brother is in the army and has been deployed several times. Each time his PTSD gets worse. His wife has not sympathy or empathy for him. PTSD is a terrible thing. I thank God that He blessed your husband with a...

She's not refusing him sex, they have sex 2-3 times per week.

5 am and I'm already queen :) pretty productive day so far :)

I just wanted to share this because I'm feeling so ecstatic. I'm studying towards becoming a midwife. Becoming a midwife will free me, my children, and my family from poverty. Becoming a midwife will enable me to carry out the ministries God has given me. One of the subjects I need is...

The big bang theory doesn't prick the conscience like the God/creation theory.

Empress :D

Agreed. I believe the difference between religion and faith is that religion is the rules (often man made) and faith is the relationship (with God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit). This is why I put myself down as non-denominational. My relationship with God is not determined by the rules and...

I believe there are many ways to help someone other than giving them money directly. Personally I am not in a situation where I know how best to help, so I support organisations who do know. Sometimes I think people become so overwhelmed by the magnitude of poverty, suffering, and injustice...

We should all stop breathing. Oxygen in the air we breath reacts with the iron in the hemoglobin in our blood creating free-radicals which damage our DNA leading to cancer and aging. Stop breathing now and you'll never age or get cancer. :clap:
