    At what age did you start to feel old?

    I'm not sure I really do feel old. My hair is mostly gray now and my body periodically reminds me I'm not 25 any more but I still like to fool around the way I did when I was much younger. Younger people keep me feeling younger.

    At what age would you let your child travel alone on airplane?

    Hard to say really. Once they turn 18 it's not like you can stop them if they want to fly. Under the age of 18 it would depend on their maturity and also on circumstance. I don't know I'd want a 12-year-old flying around the world on an unaccompanied vacation but that same 12-year-old might...

    Music Teaches Us Theology

    Songs we sing in church should contain sound theology. Sadly a lot of the more contemporary music contains an awful lot of drivel and filler, an awful lot of stuff about me, and sometimes some outright toxic theology.

    many christians will take the mark of the beast and wordly people

    It kinda reminds me of a song I heard on a YouTube video where the band at the front of the church were singing "and if the Lord has touched your heart now jump up, now jump up", which kind of implied that anyone who didn't jump around was implicitly saying "the Lord hasn't touched my heart".

    How to identify a valid pastor.

    Old thread I know, but what the heck I suspect it's easy to look for a "quick burn test" to figure if a pastor is good or bad and the simple reality is that it might be easy to spot someone who shouldn't be a pastor but it takes a lot longer to spot someone who is genuine. In that regard it's...

    Helping those who don't want help?

    I suspect a lot of that is an increasing breakdown in society paired with an increasing reliance on more rules that often harm the ones they nominally help. The arguably rather cutesy idea of a nomadic person offering a day's work in exchange for a hot meal and a bed for the night starts to...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    Yesterday my suggested workout was "rest" so I went for a gentle walk. Today my suggested workout is also "rest" so it will probably be another gentle walk. It's supposed to go into the mid 90s today so anything gentle will be a good thing.

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    Yes, it's not always entirely pleasant running past a corn field in the blazing sun when I'm already pouring sweat.

    Supernatural gifts given to believers?

    Prophecy, working miracles, speaking in tongues, that sort of thing.

    Can speaking in tongues be faked or learned?

    I can see it being useful in prayer. There have been times when my heart has been incredibly heavy for a specific situation but when it comes to pray I just don't know what to say. When my native language fails me I can see how it could be useful to let my spirit pray even if I don't understand...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    It was pretty warm, and running past corn fields is extra humid. It probably wasn't the smartest idea but sometimes I just go out anyway and see what happens.

    Helping those who don't want help?

    If someone doesn't want to be helped then at some point we have to accept their wish and not help them. There are always people out there who are just as deserving of help and who actually want it.

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    I ran a 10k today. I say "ran", it was so hot I ended up walking a depressing amount of it because I couldn't keep my heart rate down, but I got there in the end. I had hoped to do some stuff this afternoon but it took a while to cool off, and the work area is hot and humid so I decided not to...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    Yesterday I got the boxing work done and the electrical tidying up, which was nice. I've got a couple of small things left to do in this space, then I can start moving the heavy stuff out to make room for the next stages.

    Can speaking in tongues be faked or learned?

    It's easy to fake tongues, especially when among the uber-charismatic types who talk a lot about discernment but wouldn't know it if it jumped up and bit them. All you need to do is whisper "shundai, shundai, kushanda" or some such and nobody will know the difference. Of course God will know...

    USA Are Taxes Un-Fair?

    I don't recall anyone complaining that the Clinton administration represented a government that was too small. Perhaps we could go back to a government that size, and cut taxes accordingly. Or slowly cut taxes, allowing the reduction in the size of government to turn a monstrous deficit into a...

    Is this true?:

    I'm not sure how any of us could possibly know, unless someone happened to go to that high school.

    USA Are Taxes Un-Fair?

    This is the key thing here - so many people talk of how "the rich should pay their fair share" and yet definitions of "rich" and "fair share" usually turn out to mean little more than anyone with more than I have is "rich" and their "fair share" is something substantially more than they...
