Anybody want to place some bets on how often a baby stays silent for the duration of a trial?  In any event, the moment any noise is heard, the child must be removed immediately. With all due respect to young mothers, the reason is very [...]]]></description>

It exists, nevertheless in a subtle, almost unconscious form.

One of my readers asked the following question:

Bob
The Bible teaches salvation and ongoing sanctification through grace.
We are taught to be open about our weaknesses and inability to handle this

You have also discovered that your fellow Christians tend to shroud things in spirituality. They seldom, if ever, take responsibility for their own actions. Everything is “Spirit led” or “directed by God,” or [...]]]></description>
