@keilah-h

but the only thing I can tell you about most popular singers these days is “They’re mostly women with really questionable clothing habits, or annoying rapper dudes” lol.

Lol for real though… I grew up on Christian contemporary music and I have zero desire to listen to anything secular.

@theshadow

I have two younger brothers! We get along pretty well, and I credit that to years of homeschooling, lol.

@liberty

Lol that’s not working for me either! Maybe my computer just doesn’t like the link.

@liberty

Hmm. I tried that, but even with the new tab, it was giving me the same message. It’s a similar message to the one it gives me when the internet disconnects, but I checked and my internet connection is fine right now, so that shouldn’t be the issue.

@liberty

No, it just gives me a message that “this site cannot be reached”. I hit the reload button but it didn’t make a difference.

@liberty

I’m using my laptop.

@theshadow

Ooh, you like photography? That’s awesome!

Yeah it sort of runs in the family, lol. My dad and my grandpa are both into photography, too, and my one cousin has done some professional photography.

There’s so many ice cream flavors to choose from, but I guess I would have to say chocolate fudge or cookies and cream are two contenders for…

I tried to copy the whole line, but I think it was so long it disappeared off the page and wouldn’t let me get all of it.

@theshadow

Welcome to KP! I’m Janessa, aka Trailblazer- because I love mountains and hiking. I also do photography as a hobby, and I enjoy reading, too. I write mainly historical and contemporary fiction, but I’ve done some mystery and a bit of journalism too.

Hmmm… all the questions I usually ask have already been asked, lol! Let’s try some…[Read more]

Sorry I’ve been MIA, I had family from out of state staying with us because my great-grandfather passed away and the funeral was yesterday… but I’m back for a little bit before I leave for work!

On the topic of Baptists/non-demoninationals: Maybe I’m just stereotyping Baptists, but…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed

I’m also non-denominational. My church used to be considered a Mennonite church but back in the 80s or 90s the leadership decided to split off because of disagreements of theology. My dad said one time a visitor described our church as “Menno-matic”, lol, a mixture of Mennonite and charismatic.

@liberty

I think if you just copy the link and paste it into the text box it should work. Or if you go to the link button at the top of the text box and paste it there….

I’ve never tried linking a PDF on here, but I’ve done other links.

@theducktator @whalekeeper

Yes, the youth pastor is the pastor overseeing the youth. My church is larger, so we do have a youth group (the middle-school age students meet Monday nights; the high school students meet Wednesday nights). The purpose is to give the youth a space to not only have community of their own age, but also to give teaching…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

I’m technically a PK, too, but my dad’s role is missions pastor, so he’s not usually doing the preaching.

And thanks for adding your thoughts!

@freed_and_redeemed

Agreed!

@freed_and_redeemed

It was just one source, but I’m going to do some more research to see if there’s validity to it. Johnny Enlow brought it up in the midst of a discussion on the ElijahStreams show. He doesn’t usually just share things like that unless he’s done a good amount of research, but I still want to look into it more myself.

@kyronthearcanin

I have two quotes that are very similar, and both of mine are from Eye of the Oracle. I didn’t write down which character said them, though.

“What you have learned in the light, my friend, never doubt when it is dark.”

“It would be foolish to deny what I have learned in the light. That is the chief rule of discernment.” (I’m p…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom @whalekeeper

I think I agree more with Whaley- I’m not questioning that what is in the Bible isn’t true or wasn’t inspired by God. Where I’ve been pondering things recently has less to do with the validity of the Scriptures themselves and more with the translation and the selection of the Scriptures. I’m just curious what caused…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

I’m not sure I really have a solid opinion on this, but it’s something I’ve been thinking about the past couple days, so I’d be interested in hearing your opinion.

@kyronthearcanin

Your website is pretty cool! I just typed in your name in the search bar and found it that way. Also love the Bryan Davis quote… I have a feeling we probably already talked about his books at some point way back when I first joined KP, because his one series is like my favorite ever, and I have sooo many good…[Read more]
