While environmentalists are usually vocal about perceived threats ranging from pesticides to global warming, there is a silence when it comes to one threat already harming the water supply: hormones from birth-control pills. According to the National Catholic Register, EPA-funded scientists at the University of Colorado studied fish in a mountain stream near Boulder, Colo., two years ago. When they netted 123 trout and other fish downstream from the city's sewer plant, they found 101 were female, 12 were male, and 10 were strange "intersex" fish with male and female features. ...... http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/artic ...

Which is better: You are a christian woman who divorced. Your preteen son no longer want to live with you. He wants to live with his dad and his new wife. They let him do whatever he want. But you on the other hand follow the bible, and try to teach your son to do what right. But he gives you a hard time and keep staying with his dad. Should you allow him to live with his dad? Or should you put your foot down even if his dad undo everything you taught your son?

We recently moved our middle child in with our oldest so we could put a crib up in our toddler's room for the new baby. The first night the toddler slept great. Now, he is sick (has a cold that includes hives, went to dr today to get meds) but he keeps getting up and screaming...yesterday he was scared of a balloon popping and acted like he was having bad dreams...today he went to the crib and pointed and said the name of his brother who just got switched to the other room. :sad We tried putting him in bed with us last night but not only does he NOT sleep well at ALL that way, but once you give him special treatment like letting him stay up or letting him lie in…

Don't get me wrong on this I do honor and respect and do anything for her that a child should be to their mother even grown and married. Last week she was giving me orders for a Grandbaby saying I only need one and a boy with red hair I only can take care of one child. She was saying she only can take care of one child. I am married to my husband. What is wrong with my husband and I having a child or two and raising it ourselves? My parents thinks we live live with low income and all the child would not be provided for. I am just concerned that if we do have a child in the near near future. She will cause a problem.

I know I'm new here, but I came here in hopes of getting some good, sound advice from pple rooted in the Lord. We're attending a church, but have not become members as of yet (hoping to soon), but it's a very small congregation, consisting of no more than 10 regular attenders. I don't know the two ladies well enough to feel comfortable about calling them up in the middle of the night. So... here I am. I'm 24 and have been married for going on four years (in October). I am a believer in Christ, and we attend an Independent Fundamental Baptist church. My husband is the same age as I (25 in August), for the record, and as far as I know is a believer as well, albeit a…

...marraige? (Forgive me if i sounds stupid but I really don't know much about this) Do they think that wives should be submissive to their husbands? How about divorce? Do most Baptists marry other Baptists? What about sex before marraige and contraception?

Twice now my little 2 year old with his little buzz haircut has seemed to attract some sort of little black bug outside, that when you flick off it leaves a little bloody spot on his head. I'm thinking a flea? My dh sprayed the yard and trees with yard bug spray but he just got bitten today again. There are tons of rabbits in this area so I'm wondering if they are bringing in alot of bugs? We have two outdoor dogs too but surely spraying would have taken care of that. I'm just hoping whatever little black fleas or whatever they are can't give him any diseases. I try to scrub the spot real well with a wet towel.

We have been married for 25 years and have 5 children. My husband used to be on fire for God. 13 years ago some preachers really hurt our family. Since then they have all lost their churches and their marriages. I forgave them but my husband has put up a wall. He goes to church but grumbles about little things there. He will lean over to me during church and say, "I can't stand that song" or something that really doesn't matter. He dips tobacco, but not in front of the kids. Our first 3 have caught him sneaking around the back yard dipping it. He is teaching our children to do what you want, just sneak around and do it, while I am teaching them that God sees every thought…

Well you'd think I'd have the potty training thing down by now...but nope! Seems like every personality is a different challenge. I started my firstborn at about 2 1/2, we just finished a big move and that is when I was able to get him started. He was very easy, we had some longer lasting BM problems but as far as just being able to wet in the potty he picked that up in a couple days. My second born was extremely stubborn and I was also teaching so we were not able to be consistent, and then he got stubborn, and he did not end up fully trained until past age three, which I wasn't happy about but its when he got done. My third son, he shows every sign of being rea…

Alrighty, I told my girls that when the baby was just learning how to crawl, we would use re-direction until she got really mobile. At that point, we would start teaching "NO." So, she hit 7.5 months, crawling her little heart out and loving every second of it. Cue the frustration on teaching that little word. Today, at just over 8 months, she's got it down and does pretty well at stopping whatever it is she's doing. Let me tell you I am glad for that. My husband is putting hardwood floors in our hallway and for some reason, he left the extension cord plugged in without what ever tool he had been using it with plugged into it. The live cord was then tossed into the li…

My seven year old son has this thing where he is always unsure that I'm going to do the right thing. For instance if he goes to a birthday party, he is always afraid the child will not like the gift I chose to buy. (I guess he figures I don't know how to pick out gifts! Today it was a girl's party and while he thought she needed a Barbie, which she probably already had, I chose two girly craft kits that I thought she'd enjoy over the summer.) Or with something at school, he is afraid I don't know what is going on with a certain activity or special day, or that I won't do something right. I remember feeling this way about my parents at times but this young? Hmmm.

What a Fathers Day for me! I became a new grandfather early this morning. Gabriel Aleksander was born at 3:19 a.m., about six weeks early. He weighed in at 4 lbs. 15 oz., and 18 inches long. But everything is fine for both my daughter and grandson (I guess the son-in-law is OK too, but that's another story.) Now, I get to practice what my mother did to my kids -- spoil them! Mitch

When did you start potty training your kids? With our fisrt two, we started at 10 months. We would see them straining and hear the grunting and would rush them to the potty and sit them down. We had very good success with this. Very few "messy" diapers. By 12 months, they were, for the most part, potty trained. However, with Jonathan (8 months), we have noticed that after dinner, he starts strainnig and grunting. We have put him on the potty for 3 days after dinner now, and he goes both #1 and #2. We are certainly not expecting him to be trained within a month, or even two, but it sure is nice not to have those "messy" diapers.

About four years ago my youngest son's wife had sex with a 15 year old boy and got a 10 years probation. My son tried to work with her and salvage their marriage. However, she fell in "love" with a lesbian and moved in with "it". My son got a divorce and he got custody of his two girls, my granddaughters. They are now 11 and 16. The 16 year old has a mild case of downs. A year or so later my son remarried. The new wife has been very abusive to his two girls. Three or four months ago, with our help and persistence Child Protective Services went to court, removed our granddaughters from my sons home and placed them with my daughter. My granddaughters were appointed an att…

I was raised in a Christian home (Baptist), with fantastic parents and a happy home. I was close to God up until going to university, where I drifted away from God for a while. After graduating, I met a man (fell in love) and we were married 8 months later. My parents were very concerned, as my husband did not come from a Christian home - even though they really liked him, they tried to persuade me not to marry him before hand. I was in love, believed he was 'the one' and that we would be blissfully happy. Instead of drawing him closer to God, I drifted further away. I also had a lot of trouble and unhappiness with his family. We have had a beautiful child, but aft…

I have been gone a few days... Its good to be back.!! Anyway the police came to our house tonight. Apparently a report was filed that a child was being abused at our house. It just so happens that when the police arrived she was in the middle of letting everyone know she was being abused with constant screaming. The abuse of course..is letting her cry it out in her bed. We have been having her cry it out, not going to get her, and hoping that she would learn to sleep on her own. We are up to about 2 weeks straight of sticking to it and this happens. In Hawaii you live in close quarters unless you are lucky enough or rich enough to get a house. Anyway the neighbors all s…

As some of you may know i have a 17 month old daughter. She is our only child thus far. I dont really know what im trying to ask, i guess its how do you know when discipline is appropriate and how much? She is 17 months and i dont like using the rod everytime she is getting into something new. Shoes for example, she loves em. We tell her no and she generally listens, but she loves to get into them sometimes. Also we cannot get her to eat ANY vegetable unless we cut it microscopic and hide it in something better. This is probably due in part to the fact that it was "cute" to let her snack some when she was younger. Now she will bypass her meals and scream later for a s…

My husband and I do have fairly strong beliefs on how we are going to train our children. We have since heard of a new thing that people say where they think that if you have a "compliant" child, you will be able to train him, and if you have "non-compliant" child, it doesn't matter what you do he will be a rebel. I tend to not believe that. My husbands parents complain sometimes that they can't get their little ones to do such and such a thing because they just won't, and he will turn to them and say, dad, you never had a problem getting me to do it...you forced me. They are way more lenient on the younger kids and will admit it but people tend to say it is becau…

My wife and I have a beautiful 21 month old girl. We have been talking more lately about having another child, however that does not solve our current problem. Im interested in things that some of you have done to keep you child entertained. We do not have cable TV and would not advocate that as a solution, we do however have one DVD that teaches words to children. She enjoys watching this from time to time but i don't want to park her in front of the TV when we are busy. My wife is and will continue to be a stay at home mom. Here lies part of the problem.. While I am at work and my wife is busy with housework, there is not much for our daughter to do. Her interaction wi…

My littlest guy just turned two a few weeks ago...anyway today at church a lady gave him some quarters to put in his pocket. After church a different lady was letting him eat some cookies leftover from kids church but then my husband said he didn't need any more so he would eat lunch. Well my two year old, Andrew, decided he really really wanted another one so he dug a quarter out of his pocket, slapped it on the table, and held out his hand for a cookie! LOL! It was just too cute so I told the lady it was ok and she gave him a little goldfish cracker which seemed to satisfy him (not hardly a quarter's worth though!). He must pay alot of attention when we go shop…

There's this guy at work who keeps kissing me on my cheek, and he keeps telling me that it's just a friendly kiss. For example, this one time I called him by the wrong name just for the fun of it and he tells me "just for that I am going to give you a kiss." He seems to find any and every possible reason to give me a kiss on my cheek, and I am wondering if this is biblically wrong and what should I do about this? Love, Madeline

David used to be my youth pastor at the Faith Baptist Church where I grew up. His father, Henry C. Sorenson was my pastor for nine years. David was not always KJVO', and once gave and encouraged my mother to read an NASB version of the Bible shortly after she got saved. -

Nope, she was a lost child of the Catholic Church, trusting in her works to get her to Heaven. She rejected much Scriptural truth, and made people happy/comfortable dying in their own false religions. AND no lost person can ever do "GOOD WORKS" in God's eyes. All her righteousnesses are as filthy rags (see Isaiah 64:6) compared to the pure, sinless blood of Jesus which was shed on the cross to redeem us from our sins. -
Yes, and we see that exact result in those listening to Stephen's message, to some people during the time of Jesus' ministry - the fact that some people can clearly reject the Lord also means some can receive Him. If we are too dead to respond positively (ie. of you still equate physical death with spiritual death), then we are too dead to reject Him too.

I am sorry I forgot to post an update. He came home from the hospital last night, and is doing much better. I almost wrote "He went home last night" - but thought that might not be the best way to word it!
