Keeping the SabbathPosted : 11 Nov, 2012 06:30 PMOne of the main reasons Christ wanted us to observe a Sabbath day ( which I believe doesn't have to be a certain day of the week ), was so that we didn't get so wrapped up in the hustle and bustle of our busy lives that we forget to fellowship with Him. It is so easy these days to put Christ second and all those things we think we just have to get done first. He wants us to take a deep breath, be still, and know that He is God. He might even be able to get a word in edgewise to us during that time. :)

what is on his mind?Posted : 11 Nov, 2012 05:58 PMTrust those feelings, it is God talking to you. Whenever I start to conversate with a woman, ( and just 1 at a time ) I always pray to God that if this is not the one You have in store for me, show me quickly. He has been faithful in this and has saved me from some potential heartache I think.

Men, what do you think?Posted : 11 Nov, 2012 05:53 PMI will have to answer to God one day for how I raise my daughter. The person I date/marry is already grown as am I, so my main concern is raising my child (and hers if she has them ) in a Christian manner. Any woman who does not agree with this is not for me.

How important is it to date/marry a lady who is sexually pure?Posted : 11 Nov, 2012 05:47 PMI made a promise to God when I got divorced to do things His way this time. Which means no sex or living together before marriage. I waited 3 yrs. before going on the first date and it's been almost 4 yrs. now. It is hard but I know it will be worth it when God does decide to bless me with another spouse. So for me it is very important. To make a commitment to God and stick with it is rare these days. I actually had a "Christian" woman dump me because of my stand on this. There is no half-way, you either commit or not.

Which is a bigger turn off?Posted : 4 Aug, 2009 08:04 PMI would have to say in my own opinion that girl #2 could do more harm to the body of Christ than girl #1.

Pornography.Posted : 2 Aug, 2009 05:58 AMI agree with kristiankidd, I too struggled with an internet porn addiction. And like him, once I brought it to my brethren in our men's prayer group, I was able to overcome it. One thing that really helped me and that I still use even being on my own is an internet filter company. The one I use is called True Vine Online. It is very effective, I can't even get things likr youtube or myspace. To get access to something you have to call them up and have them change it on their end. It costs $25 every 3 mo. or $75 yr. To me it is worth it not to have it in my face constantly.

submissionPosted : 26 Jul, 2009 05:37 AMloveandgrace, my brother, the last part of your post described my marriage to a t. It always felt like a battle instead of a team. I was not only never supported in doing ministry but was fought against it tooth and nail.
