    Saturday April 27, 2019: 1 Corinthians 2:9-16

    An example of the Spirit giving knowledge is in Matthew 16:15-17 15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and...

    I agree. I mean, in our day, how many people do you know who do NOT wear glasses? I bet back in those days the fact that they could see someone standing there at all was probably above average, in a world where glasses didn't yet exist. And I also agree about the modern times being so...

    I also think there's a lesson here about faith. Imagine you're sitting on that boat, you've been at it all night long and you have nothing to show for it but an old shoe and bags under your eyes. You're tired, you're grumpy, and now somebody is telling you to throw the net back in on the...

    Good point. I think it also goes both ways, since ultimately to not be loving in the way we deal with one another is really not so different from breaking the original Commandments, because in such cases we're acting selfishly or maliciously... clearly not compatible with love.

    And this links up nicely with the Golden Rule. Looking at verse 10, I think there's an important point. We know that even when we sin, The Savior does not stop loving us. So what does He mean when He says "If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love?" What this means, I think...

    I once heard a great piece of advice, when one feels alone and unworthy. Read John 3:16, but take out the words "the world" and put in your name.

    Great verse for Holy Week. Once, in Church, we were in a meeting where we were discussing this, in connection with the parable of the lost sheep: Matthew 18:12, 13 How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth...

    And yet, that's the attitude we so often find when discussing things with the folks who don't believe. "I believe in what I see, and I see no evidence of God." As if Heavenly Father Himself should appear to them and invite them to join, pretty please. Miracles first, faith after. Which is...

    I think this is also an excellent commentary on where to keep one's focus when seeking the truth. It isn't the miracles or any of that flashy stuff that makes the Gospel what it is. It's the actual spiritually nourishing message that we should be seeking and learning. Miracles come as they...

    Hello, I actually posted here before... some years ago. (Same username). Just figured since it's been such a long time I should basically start over. I'm a computer geek, Trekkie, father of 6 and I write reviews over at CCGR. (Mostly I do the Warhammer ones.) In terms of gaming, I'm...

    Free DOW2:Retribution beta keys

    For you guys who have played DoW and DoW2... Do you need to play through the original DoW to get the story in DoW2? I played the demo for DoW2 and loved it and I'm definitely going to get it, but I don't know if I should play through DoW1 first.

    Awesome! Actually our guild at the moment consists entirely of people we know from real life but in the past exceptions have been made for people we felt comfortable with.

    I'm replying on my Dell Inspiron M5030 I bought about 3 months ago and it rocks my face off. I use it to play EverQuest II, StarCraft II and DC Universe and it's fine. My wife and son have AlienWare power machines which, naturally, have better graphics than this but the difference isn't all...

    What about this book: (Yes, that's the Codex: Space Marines for Warhammer 40,000) I took that photo 2 days ago and no, I didn't stage it ;)

    Movie and Game Ratings: A Useful Guide?

    For myself, I agree with the consensus here. My son's friend adamantly refused to watch anything labeled with an 'R' while Austin Powers was one of his favorite films. My son (17) finds Austin Powers to be crass and offensive but LOVES the movie Equilibrium (as do I). A couple of years ago...

    Movie and Game Ratings: A Useful Guide?

    Last night my son and I were discussing the way some people approach the whole 'R' rating on movies. He was apparently debating a friend on whether or not a Christian should watch movies rated 'R.' The two examples used in the discussion were the movies Equilibrium and Austin Powers...

    I was up till 5am writing a program...

    Have you tried passing the sender object by reference instead of by value? I haven't done a whole lot of this kind of development (I'm mostly a web developer... Java, C#.NET, VB.NET) but what is that sender object? Does it represent the user/entity that carries the appropriate permissions...
