  1. You do know the American Indians are receiving monthly retribution checks every month, right?

    Home invasions

    There's a difference between a home invasion and breaking and entering. Punks these days are coming through the front door and beating the crap out of the elderly.   20 years minimum
  3. Here's a topic most may agree on, home invasions. Enough is enough when yon you can't sit safely in your own home. There needs to be a mandatory minimum 20 years without parole. The sentence should increase significantly if elderly or children are involved.  the same could be said about car jackings   This isn't intended to start a home protection debate either but I'm sure it will anyway.
  4. No myth. There are no limitations on unprepared food choices. While your grandmother may only receive $50 theirs plenty of single mothers getting over $400 a month. I've witnessed it.
  5. I believe there is a need for some support such as food stamps. I think it should have limits to what it can be used for. No need to provide name brands, t bones, lobster, etc.
  6. I like listening to Roger's messages. As I've stated before, I do not question the bible's truth or accuracy. I do however realize that man and denominational interpretations in some cases can differ. This can cause some to mistakenly question the accuracy of the bible.
  7. Good one. There's a lot of soul sitting on that stage.
  8. Nobody want children to go hungry and everyone thinks the parents should be able to support their own family. So what do you do when parents can't (I didn't say anything about freeloading) and the children suffer. The problem is the extremist in each direction won't look for common ground.
  9. We shouldn't confuse (twist) witnessing with forcing. Jesus didn't force but he certainly invited.
  10. I saw an interview on TV with the local NCAA president who called this a modern day lynching right here in Beaumont. I think that is a huge insult to all past lynching victims.
  11. Day three for a misdemeanor trial?   Looks like the police chief may be in bigger trouble than Haynes is.
  12. It's hump day again. Better late than ever.   [Hidden Content]
  13. Christ never supported sin.
  14. If gay marriage should be acceptable, why not plural marriage? (a little less radical comparison to marrying an animal)
  15. I hate to see this much time and resources going into a silly trial. I agree she will probably get off.
  16. Not a bad choice considering BISD will probably pick up her legal bills. :)
  17. Our God does not change, just as scripture states. He sacrificed his Son for our sins and that's when his overwhelming grace was introduced. He extended a love that we can not truly comprehend; a love that was always there. There are many more layers to God than you or I can conceive but he does not change. By the same token, when Jesus Christ returns we will see another layer that has never been seen before.
  18. God never changes nor does his word.   Malachi 3:6 - I the Lord do not change....   James 1:17 - What ever is good and perfect comes to us from God above, who created all heavens light. Unlike them, he never changes or casts shifting light.
  19. As a nation we are growing more and more dependent on man's wisdom and rules in the name of civil rights, political correctness and our constitutional rights. (which is being disgracefully warped as time goes on) The result is we are growing further and further away from God's word, His wisdom and favor. We are growing arrogant and foolish enough to think we have all the answers and can omit God and biblical principles from our culture and expect success. Just look at our leaders. We should never put man, America or the constitution before God. Man has redefined fairness, correctness, sin and even Christianity. To continue on this patch will be the downfall of this country; just sit back and watch.   2 Chronicles 7:14 - If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins, and heal their land.
  20. I'm not familiar with any security guards anywhere around here carrying submachine guns with night scopes.
  21. The fact that Obama and Tebow (and Palin) attended the same prayer event doesn't exactly counter the personal phone call to Sam or the NBA player a while back. To downplay the "agenda" is either naïve or denial.
  22. One year pay for one day worked? Oh, and we need to cut staff. :wacko: :wacko: :wacko:
