explor_r View Profile	obama is goin against christian morals.. Posted : 13 Oct, 2009 10:37 AM Steven, I have read some of your recent posts which are extreemly difficult to read due to their length & fluff. I think actually I know that any charity as you call them in this country is not a charity at all but any person recieving anything much very diffictult work (like those gleanning) to recieve the extreemly small amount of anything recieved. You act like someone just picks up a phone & says "I'm in need gimme" no it's extreemly diffficult to recieve anything & only those who qualify, even then it's almost impssible to get help for anything. No one recieves something for nothing as you make it sound. And to get back to the original statement: Why would we have to choose between our own well being to live or die & the life of an unborn child? Why can we not be healthy ourselves & live without the threat of sickness & death due to no healthcare. Why are you saying there needs to be a choice between the 2? I pray nothing ever happens to you & people have such a hard heart toward you in hard times like these. I'm sure that your words are stinging so many out there who have worked hard & recently lost their jobs & income & healthcare & now are out looking for another knowing how scarce it is. So many have had their world come crashing down around them & i'm glad their fate is not left in your hands for them to suffer & die from lack of compasion upon people. Thank God for the holy spirit to susstain all you in these difficult times of need. Please keep the faith & for all that Jesus shall supply all your needs.

Posted : 12 Oct, 2009 07:08 PM Back before the 60's when the programs were put into place to help the poor, sick & elderly with the programs who took care of the sick, elderly & poor? The family, the church & community. Unfortunatelly that is for the most part no longer true. So, since the programs are here then do you propose that poor, elderly & sick die? It is not a question of eigther poor, elderly & sick or an unborn child that due to the mothers circumstances or views should dissregard & throw away the baby or to throw away the poor, sick & elderly. Why do you state that it is a bad thing to take care & preserve life in any circumstance? All are precious & worth life not one or another. Life is to be valued by all not just the rich or the innocent unborn but by all.
explor_r View Profile	obama is goin against christian morals.. Posted : 12 Oct, 2009 12:05 PM The only thing i'm hearing from these posts is that we are sitting back letting our country go to hell in a handbasket at the hands of those in office & those who stand up for their rights. Well then stop sitting there & stand up. Like the gays have & made themselves a voice to let the nation know what they want. We are being trampled upon by those who have found their voice & have taken action. So, if we don't want to have our Christian rights & morals, our human rights whitewashed then lets start standing up for what we want. Oneway is the only one in here who is actually standing up for human rights with abortion. If you want to do something then start looking up people with the same views to organise together against these tragedies. Check out the links Oneway has posted maybe it will move us into action.
explor_r View Profile	Obama and those babies who live through abortion Posted : 12 Oct, 2009 11:47 AM I want to thank you for standing up & speaking out loud for what you believe so strongly. I am appalled by the moral decline of our nation at the hands of Obama & our nation. I had posted the reply on the post through your inspiration with the question "what can we do"? It was a question rather than a statement although I phrased it as a statement & you replied with the 40 days for life webpage. As I had opened the page I started crying not due to what he said but, because of you speaking out of passion for life & sharing with us. I, as many others may not know what to do against these tragedies against life & thanks to your heart & effort have shown us we can make a difference by taking action in sharing & being involved. I really hope that your posts touch many more hearts than just mine as we know that with the gay rights it's the #'s that count & us as Christians have taken such a passive role in the moral or lack of moral descisions in America. I know myself I have wanted to be more activley involved with abortion rights & animal rights but do not know how to go about it. I want to thank you for opening the door for others to start seeing that YES we need a change. Certainly not the change that we are recieving with Obama but a true change with Christian view rather than a non Christian view. If we all would just do as the man stated in the 40 days for life video & start to pray daily & fast & TAKE ACTION. Sister, I appreciate you. Your sister in the Lord
explor_r View Profile	Obama and those babies who live through abortion Posted : 12 Oct, 2009 09:21 AM This is the descision of the President obama after just what 2 days ago addressing the nation with his "human rights" speach. A video of his speach is below as well as his descision on babies who are born alive after abortion. Obama Addresses the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) by: vanessaaishacolemanSunday, October 11, 2009 at 12:59:00 PM EDTRating: President Obama addressed the largest gay rights group, the Human Rights Campaign last night on the eve of the National Equality March. This speech came at a crucial point in the relationship between the LGBTQ community and the President. The Obama campaign made many promises to the LGBTQ community during the 2008 campaign and in return the LGBTQ community came out with tremendous support for the candidate. However little progress has been made since January 20 on the biggest issues facing the LGBTQ community such as marriage equality and of course the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy of the US Army. This lack of progress on the part of the Obama administration has left many in the LGBTQ community feeling abandoned and that their issues have been pushed to the side to make room for issues such as the healthcare debate and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. In his speech yesterday President Obama made clear that there should be no questioning about whether or not he is an ally to the LGBTQ community: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYHm0RyCyfU&feature=player_embedded http://www.jasonejohnson.com/2008/09/born-alive-truthorg.html So, us as Christians & americans & humans what can we do? Sit back & say this awful & discracefull, inhuman, unmoral, evil? This is Obamas "human rights" campain. Let's not just sit back & let our counrty & the deploration or morals be taken.

explor_r View Profile	CHEMISTRY... what is it?... and... is it important? Posted : 10 Oct, 2009 04:48 PM I agree with all of you to a point. I always look at the heart & their qualities that mesh with my own before looking at their picture. I have talked with men on here with no picture & have never asked to see a picture of them first eigther because they could be exactly your type in looks & do nothing intelectually or on the same level as yourself & it will mean nothing. I do believe that their has to be a strong chemistry for any relationship to work definately beyond looks, going into a magnetic attraction. Where there is just something that pulls the 2 of you together. And yes the magnets need to be equal or 1 will be much more attracted than the other. Then it becomes an unhealthy relationship. I have wondered how people can just sleep with someone for revenge or for pleasure without that magnetism between the 2? Maybe people are just too desensitized.
explor_r View Profile	a little sermon on worryin yoself ragged.. Posted : 10 Oct, 2009 04:30 PM Yes this goes parallel to the post I wrote today as well & worry does not add 1 cubit to your life can only physically & emotionally harm you when you are in your own thoughts & they are out of Gods will which worry & stressing over any situation is out of Gods will no matter how hard the situation is. Lay it at the cross & leave it there.
explor_r View Profile	Are we controlled by our emotions & circumstances or by the power of letting the Lord be in control? Posted : 10 Oct, 2009 04:22 PM "I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am." Philippians 4:11 We've all known people who claimed they'd be happy if only they were married, had children, had a big house, or had the right job. But most people who are banking on circumstancial contentment will find themselves in emotional bankruptcy sooner or later. Unhappy people are not made happy by marriage, by children, or by any other possession they don't have at the moment. An unhappy person needs a change of heart more than a change of circumstances. I don't believe God will allow surrendered hearts to continue to long for things He will not ultimately grant in one way or another.
explor_r View Profile	How To Handle Criticism Posted : 10 Oct, 2009 11:02 AM "I cannot come down." Ne 6:3 NKJV Nehemiah teaches us three important truths about handling criticism: (1) Expect it. When spectators watch a race, where do they focus their attention? On the front runners! Someone said, "Criticism is something you can avoid easily--by saying nothing, doing nothing and being nothing." But those three options don't work. So Nehemiah answered his critics, "I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down." Don't step down to the level of your critics. (2) Evaluate it. "Sanballat.. .sent to me, saying, 'Come, let us meet...But they thought to do me harm'" (Ne 6:2 NKJV). When people say I'm going to tell you something for your own good," often they've nothing good to tell you. When you're criticized, ask yourself: (a) "Who criticized me?" "Faithful are the wounds of a friend, but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful" (Proverbs 27:6 NKJV). Has this person earned the right to speak into your life? (b) "Why was this criticism given? Out of a personal hurt, or for my benefit?" Hurting people hurt people; so maintain the right attitude, looking for the grain of truth, making the necessary changes, and taking the high road. (3) Outlive it. When Nehemiah's friends told him to run and hide, he replied, "I will not...So the wall was finished...in fifty-two days...when all our enemies heard of it...they perceived that this work was done by our God" (Ne 6:11-16 NKJV). Sometimes you're in more danger from the counsel of your freinds than you are from the criticism of your enemies. That's when you must know who you are, what God's called you to do and outlive the criticism.
explor_r View Profile	Are we controlled by our emotions & circumstances or by the power of letting the Lord be in control? Posted : 10 Oct, 2009 10:59 AM I have been on here for about 5 months & have met so many men who fall head over heals in Love with the first stroke of the keys or first glimpse of a picture or are overwhelmed with themselves that someone actually contacted them. So many of the men live by their emotions pushing them upon the other person expecting them to be head over heals in love with them as they are with you without getting to know each other. Expecting whatever the other person feels to be upon the other as well or there are serious mental consequences trying to get the other to do as they will. Is this what the Lord wants for us to live by our emotions? Or to sit back & understand what the Lord wants in getting to know someone without emotional manipulation? Why did He give us emotions anyway? I had recieved a posting in a Christian group from The purpose driven life by: Rick Warren October 10, 2009 From PurposeDriven.com �It is better to win control over yourself than over whole cities� (Proverbs 16:32 TEV). When we say things like, �That makes me so mad�so sad�feel so bad,� then we�re actually saying that circumstances control the way we feel. Yet, we do have a choice. We have the ability to make healing choices. We can choose to remain positive; we can choose to not let some circumstance �make� us mad. The ability to control our reactions, to handle hurt without retaliating is called meekness. Jesus promised, �Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth� (Matthew 5:5 NIV). Meek people control their reactions toward life and this gives them far more control over a situation than if they simply react. If you are a meek person, you are no longer a victim. You control your choices. The best definition of meekness in the Bible is Proverbs 16:32: � . . . It is better to win control over yourself than over whole cities� (TEV). During World War II, the noted psychiatrist Victor Frankl was a prisoner in the concentration camp at Auschwitz. He said, �They took my clothes, my wife, my kids, my wedding ring. I stood naked before the SS and I realized they can take everything in my life but they cannot take my freedom to choose how I will respond to them." That is a freedom you will always have. How do I react? How do I choose to react to those people who hurt me? Jesus says we will be blessed when we show self-control. You might be thinking, �That leaves me out! I can't control my reactions! I can't get them under control!� The secret of controlling your reaction is letting God's Spirit fill your life moment-by-moment. He'll break all those bad habits, all those patterns of reacting, all those old ways of being negative, defensive--reacting in fear, in anger, in sarcasm. He can break all those old patterns in your life and fill your life with power, love, and self-control (2 Timothy 1:7). Some of us are stressed out by life, by circumstances, by relationships. What do we need more than anything else? We need to develop the quality of meekness; the quality of controlling our reactions by the Spirit God has placed in us.
