  1. It's a beautiful song, but, sad to say, many years ago Ray Boltz left his wife and family to go live with his gay lover. I'm not kidding. When it happened it made waves throughout the whole Christian music ministry and devastated a lot of his fans. I can never listen to it again.

  2. It's getting harder and harder to find a church--ANY church--that will preach the unadulterated gospel. I lay that squarely at the feet of corrupt denominations and heretic "pastors."

    I think when death arrives it's going to catch a heartbreaking number of people dumbstruck, flatfooted, and hellbound.

  3. College kids, welfare bums, and fiscal idiots ("Hey, free stuff!!!") will vote for him ... and in 2020, there may be just enough of them to get him in.

    At that point the rest of us can start a "countdown to Venezuela-style implosion" pool on how many remaining months the US has left ... and don't think it couldn't happen. Satan is rubbing his hands with glee at the prospect.

  4. The Social Security system is based on quarters paid in; 40 quarters=10 years. At that time you're vested.

    You can start drawing reduced benefits at age 62, but you don't get full benefits until you hit your target age (based on the month and year you were born), which for me was 66.  I turned that age last May (my wife turned 66 in December), and since then we've both been drawing full benefits. Comes in handy!

    I see nothing to suggest that, usually a comment is made on a thread if someone is removed from it. @George, is this so?

    Here's what I told George on the An Insiders View from the Outside thread, "I think my time here on Worthy is coming to an end. The gay 'Christian' over on the other thread promoting his oh-so-sweet sodomy talk to all and sundry has just about put the nail in the old coffin." His reply was, "All those posts were removed an hour ago.  That's what I was cleaning up tonight.  :)" 

    Maybe I only inferred CCHL would be banned from the site, but take it from an old-timer: posters who glorify and champion sin--and do so unchecked by the mods--will kill a Christian site deader than Julius Ceasar. I've seen it occur at other places, and Worthy is not immune.

  6. Nearly fifty years ago my wife and were saved in the Jesus Movement of the late 60s/early 70s, and since then for the most part we've attended full-gospel churches.

    In that time we've sat under men (and women) who were full of the Holy Ghost, and whose lives were exemplary as Christians, challenging us to press on into God.

    I'm aware most of our brothers and sisters in the Lord disagree with this (sometimes quite stridently). I wish that wasn't so.

  7. My problem is trying to have "fellowship" with Christians who simply choose to disregard the Bible.

    This may explain it: when I joined the Army (many years ago), one of things I was introduced to early in basic training was a book called the Uniform Code of Military Justice, or more simply, the UCMJ.

    The first night I was there, our DI slowly walked the barracks floor between us with it held high in his hand. I'm going to clean up what he said, but its gist was, "ladies [yeah, we were men, but he was making a point], this book I'm holding is THE book you will abide by. In it is found every rule, and the penalty for breaking that rule. I'm not asking you to memorize it, but know this, you WILL be judged by it. That may not seem fair. That may not be right. But it IS the truth, and if you go against its pages, the punishment WILL be severe."

    So it is with God's Word. Yes, Jesus saves us, and yes, there is grace, but when God makes His wishes about certain issues known in clear terms, we go against those wishes at our peril.

  8. My wife and I have been married forty-five years plus, and we're as different as steaks and hot dogs. But it doesn't matter; we complete each other. Or as Dr. James Dobson put it, "if two of you are the same, of you is superfluous."

    And the best part? Through incredibly bad times and insanely good ones, Jesus has been our focus.
