America's Prison System
	Matthew 25:34-46 sums it up nicely.

Bouncing Tithe Checks
	Obewan, I beg your pardon. I am a member of the working poor but I also know what Scripture says about the tithe. You can justify not giving the tithe however you please but I am a witness that if you trust God with it, he will supply your needs and more. We walk by faith and not by sight. Have a wonderful day.

Bouncing Tithe Checks
	If you take your tithe off the top and then balance your check book it should not bounce. It sounds like you may be looking for an excuse not to tithe. Trust God with the tithe. He will not fail you.

He Doesn't Love My Son
	He had told you how he feels. The choice is now yours. Your son is top priority. Cut your losses and keep it moving. The moderator is correct. You and your son are headed for major trouble and heartache.

Verbal Abuse In My Marriage

Catherine, Please explain how one ignores verbal abuse. Words hurt. Sometimes they hurt worse than physical abuse. I had a verbally abusive mate one time. He never hit me but there were times I would have rather he did given some of the things he said. It took years to move past those words (ugly, fat and other expletives). For a long time I hated myself and felt like dirt simply because of the things he said. An aside, his verbal abuse sometimes led to sexual abuse. You cannot and should not ignore verbal abuse.

Christians Are Giving Up
	Satan attacked my computer last week as well. It is called a back door trojan program. When all else fails blame Satan. The Saints really need to stop the madness!

Does God Provide For Us

Yes God does provide!! My graduate student loans recently became due. I was able to make one payment out of my savings account for April. I did not know how May's payment would be made. Today Jehovah Jireh made provision. He set a plan in motion last month and I never realized what was happening (His providence). I am so glad that I decided to continue to tithe despite financial hardship. God kept His word- oh yes he did!! (Malachi 3:10-11)

Christians Are Giving Up
	What election did Christians lose?

How To Be A Submissive Wife
	SusieB Her post does not say she told him to revamp his life. I believe she is telling us how she feels. Last, she is acting like a God fearing woman by trying to save her marriage.

David's Bathsheba Temptation
	Alex, How do you know David did not want to sin ? Most people do not do anything they don't want to do.

David's Bathsheba Temptation
	Good moring wivv, David may not have a had a Bible but he did have the law. So, he knew how he was supposed to conduct himself.

Pastor Confessed An Affair
	Jeff, I do not think that I did but I will respect your opinion.

Pastor Confessed An Affair
	Hi Susie B, The Hebrew letter was not talking about sin as described here. That church was undergoing severe perscution. They were on the verge of abandoning their faith in Christ and returning to Judaism. The writer was warning them of the dangers of turning back to their old faith or becoming apostate.

Helping Her To Divorce
	Perhaps you are not telling the whole story. Why are you involved with this woman's children and family? Was your motivation pure ? Did you help her to protect her or because you wanted her for yourself? The fact that you have to ask if you are wrong speaks volumes. I bet you already know the answer.

David's Bathsheba Temptation
	Mary, There is no evidence to suggest Bathsheba was in loveless/sexless marriage. Uriah was engaged in war (2 Sam. 11:7) which is where David should have been. He did not sleep with her when he had the chance because he was loyal to his mission and King David (V.9 and 11).

Submissive Controling Husband
	Debi, A controlling husband is one who may be possesive and manipulative. He may seek to isolate you from family and friends. Your opinions and values do not matter. He may use words and insults to humiliate you. He tries to strip away your self worth. He may control the finances. If he is a Christian he may use the Bible to keep you in your place.

Pastor Confessed An Affair
	SusieB, Yes he can still be born again. Paul called it being a carnal christian. This kind of behavior characterized the Corinthian church and not once did Paul ever say they were not Christian. He even affirmed their identity in Christ (1 Cor. 1, 1 Cor 5:11 & 2 Cor. 2) before he rebuked their behavior which included sexual immorality.

Pastor Confessed An Affair

It is good that he is repentant. However a brief sabbatical may be in order so that he can process his behavior and reevaluate his commitment to the pastorate. Affairs are a serious and grievous offense to the church body. One does not just walk away from a four year affair. Why did he confess ? Was he on the verge of being exposed? All of these things factor into the authenticity of his confession and sorrow. To allow him to go on like nothing happened is setting him and the church up for a repeat performance.
