    Leftist Election Warriors – Republican Event Planners – Who Wins?

    . I sure hope that I'm wrong. I have a great advantage here: no one agrees with me anyway and yet you let me keep coming. THERFORE, I'll give you my opinion about this and nothing will happen to me here (hopefully) The Demon crats will "win". Not because they really won but because we will...

    Why Do Calvinists Bother to Preach or Pray?

    . Before I get to the meat of the matter - the important parts, I just want to say that Dr Rice was SO FAR removed from a prosperity preacher. He was a simple little man that lived in a white frame house on a small farm. He never preached that God wants to make you rich. What he did preach was...

    Why Do Calvinists Bother to Preach or Pray?

    . I can only speak for myself. And I speak from a position of not being certain. I don't really know. But I suspect. When I was a young teenager, I once bought a book called "Prayer: Asking and Receiving" by Dr John R Rice. I remember reading that book and being so excited. He believed that...

    Al Mohler on Andy Stanley.

    . I once visited his church in Alpharetta, here in the Atlanta area. I was used to more "churchy" churches. So I showed up in a three piece suit. Everyone else was seemingly in shorts and sandals. I stood out enough that people knew I wasn't a regular. I had a woman come up to me in a halter...

    Why Do Calvinists Bother to Preach or Pray?

    . I grew up a "free willer" but have since realized that if Biblical things were to be true at all, it is so obvious that He does indeed, choose certain ones. And if that's so, I also, don't understand the need for evangelism but I do understand the need for edification of the chosen. .

    Be not drunken

    . I have a close family member who has anxiety and her drug of choice is wine. During the day, she's functionable. But by 6:00 at night, she has to have her wine. By 7:00 "it's taken its effect". Is that then, ok for her instead of Xanax, since it calms her and allows her not to go bonkers? .

    Huk, Sherryh and others: ARE YOU OK?

    . I'm real glad you're ok. Is the "east" coast, the Atlantic side or the Mexican Gulf side? I once went on a cruise and we started out on the Mexican Gulf side, making stops in Sarasota, Ft Myers, Estero and Naples. We also went to a little place called Ave Maria. Then, we went across...

    Your Thoughts on Gambling

    I've been to a casino only once in my life. I had enough sense to budget 20.00 for that day. I played the nickle machines and drank free cokes. I enjoyed myself and at the end of the day, I had come out even. But if I had not, I would have only lost 20.00. Compare that to the thousands and...

    What were you doing when the planes struck on 9-11?

    I was in a "twilight sleep" with the television on in the background. Even though I was dozing, I heard what was happening and opened my eyes just as the first plane hit the first building. Within a few minutes, the manager and Sales Director, both, from the hotel I was employed at, were banging...

    A question on grace

    "God regenerates us then calls us efficaciously, then we believe. " . When I said "this would explain alot", I was referring to my own perdicament, not you. I was referring to the fact that God apparently chose not to regenerate me and that would be why I don't believe since belief comes after...

    Are those who oppose gay marriage but accept divorce simply hypocrites?

    . Thank you, to all three of you - Aleshanee, Alayman and Bob for your responses. These posts are such that I am having to go sentence to sentence many times so as not to miss what you're saying. I'll be dwelling on them for a while. . Thanks.
