Re: Petra's lyrics that are confusing

This is an old thread. :mrgreen: My main point was that although sin does need to be seen for what it is and dealt with, you need to look at the big picture and understand why sin is a problem. The reason sin is a problem is because it's disobedience to God, and disobedience is disobedience no matte...

Re: Called?

It can be tricky when you can't see or hear the person who is posting. I've been posting here a long time. Brent does post what he thinks, but it's not meant personally. You're young. Give yourself time to check things out and find out what areas you'd be interested in going to be a missionary. As I...

Re: Called?

I understand what you're saying, I didn't mean to imply you weren't making yourself clear or that I was correcting you. I agree that you are supposed to walk out your relationship with God as you experience life, and that some people may have more of an idea of what they should be doing than others....

Re: Called?

I think as Christians it's important to first of all be reading the Bible and know what the Bible says. As we get into the Word, God will provide guidance in what He wants for us. Our primary purpose is relationship with God.

Re: He Makes Us Move Not Us

This is a discussion board to post ideas and get feedback from other people. I don't see any need to delete it unless you really feel the need to. Maybe another way to view this would be that God guides and interacts with us but our relationship with God is a partnership, and does involve making a d...

Re: God Fixation: Current Sounding

I understand that, and I get why it would annoy people. As has been pointed out, they did some good shows during that time though.

Re: God Fixation: Current Sounding

I had the chance to meet Pete several times, and he was a nice guy. His stage presence may not have been for everyone, but I found it entertaining. Of course, I am someone who liked David Cassidy and the Monkees way back when she was a kid, so maybe I can relate to the juvenile stuff. :lol: Did I ju...

Re: US shutdown

Okay, I don't usually get involved in political discussions. I will say the underlying issue isn't "liberal" vs "conservative" or the name of the political party. There has been a lot of nonsense from both parties. The problem is our government isn't focused on God or the good of the country, and ag...

Re: Looking for Wise Council...

Interesting post. I agree with the idea that we should be discerning about what we listen to and watch. However, it's not the music itself that is the problem. It is the lyrics and the attitude behind them. I agree with Brent that labeling something Christian doesn't necessarily make it Christian. T...
