    Good, thought provoking article. I dont agree with all of it, and I dont have enough time to read all the hyperlinks (glad the article is well cited though.) I pray the Lord puts in office whoever is best fit for the job. However, I still have to stand on the side that I feel best represents...

    I guess it depends on your view of the morality of abortion. Past personal sins mean a lot less to me than current endorsement of the murder of our unborn.

    I will comment on this one, number 9. The "fact check" implies that he said he spent that money on military equipment. The quote they posted just says rebuilding our military. And by their own fact check...the money went to different portions of the military. Me thinks WaPo is the one doing the...

    How to handle Infadelity

    I personally don't think I would confront her. As you said, you're the one that got your marriage into this mess to begin with. I so glad the Lord is working on you and convicting you. Now it's time for you to lead your household spiritually. If she doesn't want to go to individual counseling...

    Water baptism

    Not outright disagreeing. It is between the Lord and each individual whether or not one will enter heaven....however, I feel that as Christians we should be excited to do anything we can to obey Christ and receive his gift. Often times we look for the bare minimum to be safe from smoke and fire...

    We are watching this entire thing real time. Research and information ebs and flows daily and every time they get info they feel the need to change everything and announce it. Then the next day they find out something else that changes their mind. I wish I had an answer. When its all over...

    Oh good point. Sorry about that. It goes up to 6.5% I agree the job loss during this pandemic is an issue. The People (read government) have to decide if its better to lose jobs or lift quarantine and risk a number of lives.

    I can agree that management does not want to pay higher salaries generally. I also agree that the need to survive and provide should and does push one to work for even minimum wage. I also know there will always be people without any drive who will take and take while giving as little of...
