I am a loving and devoted father of three and grandfather of three. I am a committed Christian who is traditional, orthodox and evangelical in my belief.
@reachjulieroys@cmalliance Back in my teen years I left a church after a change in Youth Pastors. The old one was great but the new one felt off, especially where the girls were concerned. Then I couldn't label it but it was uncomfortable. Today the label would be patriarchy.
Afghanistan was Vietnam all over again only in Afghanistan we invested double the time and effort and lives and once again got nothing for it. Al we ever seem to learn from history is that we never learn from history. STAY OUT OF OTHER COUNTRIES INTERNAL BUSINESS!!!!!!
@reachjulieroys@Hillsong@BrianCHouston Redemption is a crock if you don't submit to accountability that has no relationship to any side and their character is beyond reproach.
@matt_allbritton In fact, the church has been at it's best under persecution. Go figure! Further, it's been at it's worst when it "owns the culture" so to speak
@MinLeeRice Just because George Washington started the tradition doesn't mean that it needs to continue that way and it might be a good way to end "but I want to be sworn in on the Koran" and so on. BTW, so help me God is not in the oath.
@ZachWLambert No, but they are their cultural decendants! They justified the slaughter of the "demonic heathens currently occupying this land that we claim for God"
@CalltoActivism We don't send former Presidents to prison, period! Do that and you will permanently add that to impeachment! Good, impeached, now get the ******* convicted and sent to prison! Impeachment won't be enough ever again if you do it just once!
@DefendTheSheep Puritanism had more of a long term effect on the church than on New England and Victorianism had more of a long term effect on the church than on England.
@WifeWorst We have worked at being civil to each other over the years for the sake of our kids and grandkids. She has been happily married for 20 years now to a good man and I am very happy for her. I believe that remaining single is the best thing for me.
@WifeWorst The God who created us to be complementary never wanted divorce for us and it grieves Him because He knows how much pain it causes us. I was the main cause of my divorce over 30 years ago but it took going through a lot of counseling to realize just how much at fault I really was
@david_bumg @JohnPiper BTW, I can read theologians like Jonathan Edward's, within the times and culture in which they lived, and not judge them and yet I would ask seriously of John Piper in the context of the present day how in the world could he possibly believe such things.
@david_bumg @JohnPiper Today I have a mixed Lutheran & Eastern Orthodox theology. Women are in leadership positions (currently our Congregation President is a woman) and are readers and etc. in our church. The churches that I grew up in would recoil in horror at such things.
@david_bumg @JohnPiper I was raised in American Fundamentalist Evangelical Christianity. In my thirties I discovered that this unique position was only approximately one hundred twenty five years old. It led me on a faith journey where today I attend a Missouri Synod Lutheran Church.
