    The Manifestation of the Spirit for the Common Good 1 Corinthians 12

    ... and if we're too quick to accept things without testing that they are actually from God we open ourselves to all sorts of unwanted influences.

    Who will replace Biden if he drops out?

    It's hard to say. Sidelining the VP in favor of someone else would be a very unusual thing to do, especially since the Democrats have made such a big deal lately of putting black women in every possible position. Having made such a big thing about black women it would make sidelining the black...

    Here's why the "free will" argument cannot be justified if God is all good

    But you haven't debunked it. You've merely countered it with some variation of "God doesn't do what I think is good, therefore God isn't good". It's not an ad hominem attack at all, it's merely an observation that it's a rehash of an old argument you've presented many times, and which has been...

    Biden testing positive for COVID

    Not at all, but it does give him a convenient out. Perhaps the party faithful will accept the line that he's "been under the weather for some time now" as an explanation for why he's been the way he has, and somehow it will all be spun as if everything about the process is as perfect as it could...

    Here's why the "free will" argument cannot be justified if God is all good

    You seem to be rehashing the same arguments as before, based on the fundamental assumption that if something seems bad to you it must therefore be bad. You thinking God should behave in a certain way doesn't mean God must behave in that way.

    Biden testing positive for COVID

    I wonder if this will be the cover that allows him to gracefully step away from his re-election bid without having to admit that he hasn't been up to the job for some considerable time now.

    Is DEI really the answer?

    Well, yes, which is why I differentiate between the laudable concept of equality of opportunity and the pointless attempt to create equality of outcome. As I said in a previous post DEI attempts to fix the wrong problem. There's no reason why we shouldn't have more of whatever groups are...

    Is DEI really the answer?

    If you read the rest of my post I think you're saying more or less the same as I am. Equality of opportunity is a good thing, because it means people have the same chance to succeed. When equality of outcome trumps equality of opportunity the result is absurdity, such as the woman on my wife's...

    Is DEI really the answer?

    It's just the latest attempt to create equality of outcome rather than equality of opportunity. Years ago my wife attended an evening class. The class was endlessly disrupted by a woman who shouldn't have been there because she didn't meet the most basic criteria for the course prerequisites...

    JD Vance is VP Choice

    A much younger VP could be a breath of fresh air into the usual clutch of almost exclusively old white men. I read that Vance is the only person at the top of either ticket who served in the military, which could be a plus. I'm not familiar with where he stands politically so can't really...

    Christian TV shows

    I wouldn't go as far as saying no such shows exist but from my experience the more things present themselves as "Christian" in mainstream media the less likely they are actually be useful. Maybe I've become cynical after seeing so much garbage pumped out under names like "GOD TV".

    Who checks on absent members?

    I suppose a lot would depend on the turnover of a particular church and whether they want to know why people are leaving. One church I attended briefly had a fairly small core of people and turned over new people terrifyingly quickly. It seemed people would arrive, rapidly volunteer to get...

    Who checks on absent members?

    We have someone tasked with overseeing congregational care but obviously they can only do so much unless they happen to notice someone has stopped attending. Usually I think it's a matter of people noticing someone hasn't been there for a while and checking up on them. It's a tricky one to...

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

    I haven't been hiking in a while, it's too hot. Walking and running, when the weather isn't hideous, are my go-to things until it cools down a bit. The last couple of days were OK for running although the heat was a bit intense. Today will probably be a walk.

    Please Help Me. I Am Fighting For The Soul Of My Grand-Niece.

    On re-reading your post I'm particularly struck (pun fully intended) by your point #13. (emphasis mine) If you can find the passage in the Bible where it tells us to literally hit people who disagree with us I'd love to see it. Preaching the gospel by hitting people until they fall into line...
