    Should women cover their hair?

    update: i used to disagree with this, but now i do agree, and i wear head coverings + veils!! it does really seem to be the meaning of the passage. both for prayer and prophecy, as the Scriptures say, but also for the sake of modesty in everyday life!! while i do think my argument for not...

    Religion is necessary, but not sufficient, for morality

    this answer does not sufficiently answer his question. and with it has one of the most absurd interpretations of the Scripture i have seen. Matthew 6:10 asks that God's plan happens as it is intended. praying for what God wants to happen is to accept that His plan is good and right for everyone...

    Religion is necessary, but not sufficient, for morality

    of course, if God gives you blessings on this Earth, it is for a purpose. but, this Earth is passing away and so will all your symbols of success. compared to the expanse of eternity, your possessions are dust. being conventionally successful means retaining a bit: not giving to others, but...

    Religion is necessary, but not sufficient, for morality

    after reading your claims in full, your focus is clear. your focus is an ideal Earth. your focus is Earthly success. you want a nation that remains, a people that are uniformly intelligent and successful. kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall. people return to sin. not because they are oh so inferior...

    my daily prayer for the people of God

    i pray that the people of God would be fully content in Christ. "God's divine power has given us everything we need for life and for godliness." if you do not have it, it is not for your good. i pray the only area we would never be satisfied in is growing in godliness. as long as we are still in...

    Oakland 'church' gives out mushrooms and pot to help people 'experience god'

    i just researched this supposed "church".. it seems so foolish and obviously revolting that i am sure their only intentions were for drug use. being a "church" was only to cover their tracks. but justice has been served against those people.

    being an adoptive single mom?

    i'm quoting this passage from 1st Corinthians when i say "undivided attention". i understand parenting is a very tasking responsibility. "What I mean, brothers and sisters, is that the time is short. From now on those who have wives should live as if they do not; those who mourn, as if they did...

    being an adoptive single mom?

    out of curiosity, what is your opinion of a man and woman living together and raising a child but remaining unmarried? does that seem feasible to you? it seems to me to meet both agreements: keeping in step with God's model for the family, and also the undivided attention to the Lord that can...

    being an adoptive single mom?

    thank you so much for your encouragement! i really appreciate it. there is definitely a need for adoption, children all across the world need to know that they matter and they are not just things to be discarded when they are inconvenient. i want to help others know they are safe, guarded...

    being an adoptive single mom?

    yes, i am considering those factors (and i appreciate you bringing up those that i need to be reminded of!) and luckily, i am still years away from making these choices firsthand. i do not know the future yet, i will take this one day at a time and if i am ready, then i want to be able to...

    being an adoptive single mom?

    while i am quite aware i am socialized into a culture that is very much not in line with God's Word... you must be aware that of course God would use everything for His glory, so yes, there still can be "positive results", even from spiritually dead cultures. not to say the actions of the people...

    being an adoptive single mom?

    i haven't read 1 Corinthians 7 in a while, and wow.. i am very glad that your post reminded me to look into it again. i'm more encouraged than ever. "An unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the Lord’s affairs: Her aim is to be devoted to the Lord in both body and spirit. But a married...

    Marital Advice

    "80% of girls try to get the top 10% of men" is a sweeping generalization.. don't provide numbers if you aren't giving statistics, cuz this is not a stat, it's an incel catchphrase.
