Athiests are the children of Marx and the enemies of America.

I start my day listening to him on AM570The Mission. If I lived in CA. I’d join his church! To be “evenly yoked” is indeed a blessing.

I bet advertising grooming would be allowed.

They’re frightened of any truthful view or judgement of themselves, of the true reflection of their hearts and minds.

Lately all over the U.S. society the idea that “the squeeky wheel gets the grease” has been magnified massively, as all it takes is “a complaint” that someone does not like something, and all over private industry businesses react as if giving in to every little complaint is necessary.

Few any more have the backbone or morals to say they are sorry if someone objects but they do have the option of not looking or listenting to what they object to.

I wouldn’t have to ask what grooming means, once upon a time.

Even more than these abstractions — the Lord Himself. Because people are living a vain life and that would have to be transformed into a life dedicated unto Him.

I’ve been through quite a spate of spiritual battles and it daunts even weak Christians. I don’t know why I’m not getting more exasperated than I am with weak Christians... it’s more a sense of oh well, that one didn’t sift out too well today. But if Christ is doing this kind of sifting daily and finding almost all weak, I have an idea that He’s going to get pretty angry about it. Even at the time He furnishes the help necessary.

It has to be more than just that.

Battle lines are getting drawn, and sometimes even weak friends get pulled behind enemy lines. The right move is to try in every good way to save them, but sometimes they need to learn before God that enemy lines and friendly lines aren’t judged based on temporary safety.

While Harvest is disappointed that the billboard ads were removed, Collins says this has less to do with the company and more to do with the culture. "We're certainly not upset with The Irvine Company. Obviously, they're catching heat for allowing us to run these ads."

No. The Irvine Company has decided who they want to please. This is where the battles are fought these days, and the progs and the commies know it.

Two lessons, at least: One, never apologize and never back down, because it is never enough. Two, don’t hide your beliefs to “get along”, because that is never enough either.

Why not concede to the Christians an understanding of the difficulties they face? After all, there is a whole bible full of stories about it.

Thanks for lessons in how the world does stuff.

I beg to be believed out of experience when I say this is flat out spiritual battle today. Earthly chutzpah doesn’t go anywhere with Christ.

No, I’m neither a Marxist or enemy of America.
You paint with too wide a brush.
