    What are the cons in buying a Telsa?

    About 300 miles is typical for a new EV on a full charge (without a trailer) … about 10 hours at typical city driving. The issue becomes time to recharge: Overnight at home hours at a commercial charging station less than an hour if you purchased a vehicle with the fast-charge option and can...

    World Canadian government says Pope's apology not enough

    The prime minister should have his ambassador act as his second and demand satisfaction on the field of honor. The offenses mostly occurred in the 19th century, so a duel seems the appropriate way to resolve it.

    How many pastors has your church had?

    I couldn’t resist the tease. I am currently between churches at this particular moment. Prior to that (newest to oldest over my last 40 years): FWC: 1 pastor (2015 - present) CSBC: 1 pastor (2007-present) NBLC: 3 pastors (1998-present): 1 since founding still remains, 2 associate pastors...

    What do you believe YHWH means?

    Within the general context of the Exodus narrative, I see the emphasis on the name of God resting in His reality… I AM … I EXIST … I AM ETERNALLY UNCHANGING … the GOD who really is as contrasted to the many mute idols that are not GOD. I think the polemic of Genesis 1 emphasizes the same...

    When you see a homeless person,

    First thought: ‘I wonder if he is one of the people that keep robbing the storage facility near my work?’ (I once thought they were harmless and felt sorry for them, then I learned the statistics on how much crime they are responsible for.) My second thought: Ephesians 4:28 and 2 Thessalonians...

    10-year-old girl travels to Indiana for abortion

    I think that is driven by the courts and “Judicial Activism”. I know that some states attempted to restrict abortions “except where necessary for the health of the mother” and the courts determined that the anxiety of the mother qualified as “mental health” turning “medical necessity” into...

    10-year-old girl travels to Indiana for abortion

    I have given this story some thought. It points out several important things that need to be brought into the PUBLIC DISCUSSION. We need to stop talking about Abortion as a “woman’s choice” issue. Whenever one human being decides to end the life of another human being, it is not about...

    "I'm the worst person in the world and everything is my fault" ?

    “If you are a preacher of mercy, do not preach an imaginary but the true mercy. If the mercy is true, you must therefore bear the true, not an imaginary sin. God does not save those who are only imaginary sinners. Be a sinner, and let your sins be strong (or “Sin boldly”), but let your trust in...

    New Problem

    …and THIS is why you don’t want to be taking advice on this from a Baptist. ;) [If you like them and want to read them, attend a church that does read them, not a Baptist church that won’t] :)

    New Problem

    The Protestant, of course. ;). [just kidding] 66 of the books are identical. Depending on the Catholic Bible that you have, it may or may not include some books added to the OT or written between the OT and NT period that are useful and interesting but may not be 100% God Breathed. THERE IS NO...

    New Problem

    As an outsider with no dog in the fight (I am a Particular Baptist, so we come from a different source than the debate between Martin Luther and the RCC about whether there was a need for a Reformation of the church) I offer this snippet to chew on: The RCC believes that God has entrusted men...

    Roe vs Wade Repercussions

    It comes down to the LEGAL definition of a “person”. If the unborn is a person, then to legally and deliberately terminate his/her life would require a Court Order (due process). Pro-abortion states could still pass laws that made it easier to obtain the needed Court Order.
