That was an interesting article by David Halton, from Canada.

I can agree with his view

"…… but open to the idea of Christian principles being used to guide political action.
"

I can also understand some of his view concerning some of the right-wing christian organizations.

Sadly, on either side of the spectrum, until people learn to control the self-will, there can be a potential for evil. I tend to be wary of extremes in either direction.

Hi Debs,

I took a quick look at that, shall re-read and come back with comments.

Acts 1-8.

Another one I thought of recently:

Anne of Green Gables.

Story of a girl who is adopted by a brother and sister, living on a farm in Prince Edward Island, both getting on in years. They intended to adopt a boy, and got a girl instead.

That's when the love comes in.

Thankyou {{Vanessa}}}

msiam: Amen to that.

Welcome here.


{{{hugs}}} to all.

It sure is.

Been keeping Him busy have you, Debs?

I could not resist.

Welcome here betster. that sounds like a nice idea. Perhaps you could check with local churches in your area that might provide similar things, like a coffee shop etc, and see what kind of feedback you receive.

A church I went to in New Hampshire started with a monthly coffee evening, it has now become a coffeeshop open on a regular basis.

Good luck.

That's a lovely song lilangel25.

Welcome to the site.

I hope you enjoy being here.

will remember them in prayer, Debs.

Welcome Bocelli. I noticed you were from Northampton, England.

I also used to enjoy walking country lanes, and the old British pubs. I have lived in the US now for a number of years.

I am wondering if you are questioning why there is a forum for Christian singles. There are other forums for other faith groups.

I hope you enjoy being on this site, and welcome here.

Good evening Rainbow and all who enter here.

I find YES or NO questions do not adequately
answer most questions.

I believe in the separation of Church and State as it was intended in the US Constitution.

However, in response to your question I would have to say NO.

The lack of religious beliefs or lack of a belief in God does not necessarily qualify any person or group to make reasonable decisions that are in the best interests of humanity as a whole.

This sounds reasonable to me.

I am still learning about the US political system and imagined it was set up that way to strike a balance.

Maybe, if enough people start to believe that every nation has a right to share this planet,
the right people will get the message.

I believe as was said earlier education is the key to teach young people to learn to live with one another and be tolerant of each other's differences.

In the meantime, and as terrible as it is for the youngsters caught in Gaza through no fault of their own, I find it difficult to condone those who think it is acceptable to believe that an entire group of people do not deserve to live on a very small piece of this earth, where they have lived for centuries, just because it suits their ideology.

I do not know what can be done with people who are hell bent on destruction unless they are willing to change.

Perhaps the world needs to get those leaders to help their own people, get to work and improve their area of the globe, instead of allowing them to prolong their agony.

Jesus, Be the Centre

Michael Frye

Jesus be the center
Be my source be my light
Jesus
Jesus be the center
Be my song Jesus
Be the fire in my heart
Be the wind in my sails
Be the reason that I live
Jesus Jesus
Jesus be my vision
Be my help
Be my guide Jesus

Probably not until man learns to control the ego.
Not that, that is the only contributing factor.

You would have to remove anything that people can disagree over. Unfortunately, I think man would lose the traits that are held as admirable.

ie. football fans kill each other from time to time, no matter what the belief system.

However, not to be negative, I hope one day a way will be found by all.
