mmmm... Bacon...?

Funny how unprepared for this my workplace is. Our team was part of a 'Mobile Workplace Task Force' test site a a few weeks ago. We all tested a couple of tablets and a laptop that were fitted with VPN. We used them "in the field" to find out if it was reasonable to do so. And (SURPRISE!!!) of...

What I'm seeing here, and might be wrong, is the sense of "nothing to see here, move along..." which isn't a reasoned response. Just as those in a panic aren't truly informed, I get the sense that the general public isn't either. It's simple to be informed and lots of resources to find out what...

I think it depends on what precautions are necessary for that congregation in a specific area. I didn't read the link, and don't know the specifics of what's happening in Houston, but if you consider Lakewood is the size of a sports arena, the call is probably justified. Safe and resonable steps...

Bzzzt! Nice try, but thanks for playing :) George posed no question asking "does it", but "HOW does it..." - it presupposes that there is this change. Clearly you don't and consider this against "clear biblical teaching". I'd suggest a "rebuttal" thread if this is important to you to disprove.

How is "transform" understood in an Orthodox context? *Note - Capital "O". If the respondent is not at least knowledgeable on Orthodoxy I request you not respond

Hi all - it's been warming up a bit here (subjective!) and I'm going walking again. I have an app that counts steps, calories, distance and all that jazz. What it doesn't do is account for the intensity of the walk, steps, stride, etc - just how many steps and calories based on the generic step...

Haven't even read the rest of the replies, but watch this: "Of course the Holy Spirit works through communion as he brings the faithful together in spirit to remember the sacrifice Christ made for us, just as Christ said at the Supper!" Did I get it? (ETA: I'm not saying this DOESN"T happen -...

Thanx!

Talk about imagery... :O I'd be more inclined to believe Jesus was teaching about cannibalism (which I don't - so don't even go there)

This is really about the "mechanics" of making posts. If I start to respond to a post, then decide "no, forget it...", I don't see a way to "cancel" that. Whenever I go back to the thread, the post I was responding to will always show up.

In that case he can forgive and bring us remembrance without ANYTHING AT ALL. And, for our benefit, he does in his grace and mercy. All we do, we do for the sake of Christ who redeemed us, EVEN partaking of the bread and wine. It truly is a remembrance as you've said. But if it is that, and only...

Update - I've been put on medical leave from my job :( I was informed not by a meeting with anyone, not by a call from my manager or coordinator, not even a call from disability management (DM), but by email! :mad: I have some idea why this came about, which I'll keep confidential, but there...

I think reasonable caution is warranted, however panic responses are not. In Washington state it appears there had been cases that hadn't been found out about for a week or so that are coming to light now. What happened? An absolute shopping frenzy. Masks being sold out, bottled water (are the...

We have an independent place in town that's pretty good. They have a second level that used to have comfy couches and chairs to hang out. The last time I was there they got rid of them and replaced them with "retro" (i.e. metal) dining chairs and wobbly tables. They're still good for a chai...

I've seen the film three times now. I bought the DVD and it'll probably be watched several times. Each time I see things in the character that are intriguing. To me, it's more a case study of mental health, trauma, and a man living in a world that doesn't much care. The 'Joker' persona is almost...

Just an update. My Dr. has backed the recommendation of no driving during the course of business. That's impacted me the most as I'm not able to get to the communities my team serves. I've been given tasks that keep me busy and use my skills, though, just not in a way I'd prefer. I may request a...

It's starting to get that way, but old habits die hard. The hospital where I work has a cafe that brews bagged Starbucks, but it's the most vile coffee I've ever tasted. Rot-gut stuff for sure.

If yes, why? I've struggled with this.

Righteousness isn't a "level" such that we can keep it on our own. As we have the righteousness of God through faith in Christ (c.f. Phillipians 3:8-10), we have a righteousness that is immeasurable. I think all we can do with our finite and feeble minds is to only meditate on the sheer...
