    Absolute truth

    I've been hearing and reading a lot of stuff about post modern thinking. It seems to be a way to avoid confrontation mainly. If truth is relative then I don't have to call anyone out for anything or say "this or that is wrong". But any post modernist is going to rely on the truth that engineers...

    Do you believe it's God's will that you just lead and disregard if your family doesn't follow?

    For instance, my wife and helping around the house, or the money she spends. But I fall short in this myself. It seems like if I just go the extra mile, and do in my own life everything I'm complaining inside about with regard to my wife (without worrying about whether or not she is doing the...

    What is the purpose of marriage biblically?

    I was going to say "A model of faithfulness for life" but then I see this and how could anyone say anything else!

    How to approach my daughter (complicated situation)

    As far as drug use is concerned yes. When I was on drugs, it was the stumblingblock that prevented me from doing anything disciplinary in my daughter's life. Every time I'd think about enforcing anything, I'd make some application to how my drug addiction showed that I didn't believe in the...

    Is it really forgiveness if you don't let the person know you've forgiven them?

    Your post is full of really good stuff that changes most of what I was thinking. Especially that verse about forgiving them before God in prayer. You're right, I should do my homework, but I'm glad you were able to post your thoughts on the issue. :) The whole thing is food for thought and I...

    Is it really forgiveness if you don't let the person know you've forgiven them?

    I would say that the bible prescribes that we let people know when they've offended us (can't think of the exact verse, but several in the new testament and in the old testament tell you to go to your brother or neighbor if they offend you, and "not suffer sin on them"). I think there's a...

    Please describe your daily lifestyle

    Most weekdays I work at Hardees. On my days off I'm either with my wife or my daughter (from my first marriage). When I'm with my daughter I'm taking care of her at my parents house. I was a drug addict for 15 years (7 months clean now, praise the Lord!) so there's the requirement that I take...
