I've noticed that God has put a desire in my heart. To me it's terrifying, I'm afraid of it's enormity, what it requires and my life long lack of 'self-esteem' says to me, "Not you." It's a desire to change the world. And I think of this scripture: Act 17:6 And when they could not find...

I don't know how long for now but I've been feeling inadequate about pretty much everything in my life, as a husband, a father, a leader at work, as a child of God. It really wasn't until Holy Spirit helped me understand what's going did I know what to do, I felt and still feel but not as much...

Just watched a message by John Bevere about us and the Holy Spirit. He's basically exhorting us to go after a deeper relationship with the Holy Spirit. Explaining that he is a person, not an it. The contrast between the relationship between the Holy Spirit in the early church and the modern...

We do this by loving one another as we love ourselves. The 'theory' is quite simple, no need to complicate, the practice however... Owe nothing to anyone—except for your obligation to love one another. If you love your neighbor, you will fulfill the requirements of God’s law. For the...

I thought it'd be nice to have a thread where we can talk about what God has us do. I used to think and still subconsciously do think at times that Gods work is serving is a church environment or doing mission trips etc. but those things are not chosen for everybody. Sometimes I forget and look...

I'm sure there are Scriptures concerning this but I can't think of any right now... I find that when I encounter people older than myself, especially those in the Lord I get encouraged with Gods mercy, patience and grace toward us when they mention things about how they used to think and things...

This is a thread with questions to all my American friends out there... Every now and then I catch this show on TV called House Hunters and it's basically about following a couple who are looking for a home to buy. Whilst watching this show I made some observations that I would like explained...

Just recently at work, this guys truck I load and unload, we have both discovered that we both are Christians. And lately he's been saying I need some advice from you and how do I be this and that etc and he somewhat really looks up to me. Honestly I don't know why he does, but I've been...

Seems like as soon as something new happens or someone has formulated a new opinion on their opposing electorate, they create a new thread and the news forum is flooded with American politics. A consolidated thread where you can blast one another with your opinions and news seems like a good...

So I am willing to endure anything if it will bring salvation and eternal glory in Christ Jesus to those God has chosen. This is a trustworthy saying: If we die with him, we will also live with him. If we endure hardship, we will reign with him. If we deny him, he will deny us. If we are...

Anyone know how to embed Facebook videos in a post like we can do with youtube vids?

I would say I agree with most of these lol... The 47 Most Important Resolutions For Christian Millennials: 1. End the prosperity gospel. 2. Stop criticizing those in the prosperity gospel. (Or anybody else in the Body of Christ.) 3. Figure out how to do 1 and 2 at the same time...

I'm looking for some independent advice here. For a couple years now (or maybe more) I've felt like I don't really fit in at the church I attend. My wife's been feeling the same way for some time now. I don't really know how to explain it but we feel lonely, invisible and to the extreme...

So I gave my one year old son a few toys to play with but he ignored those things and went for the one thing he shouldn't have...sounds familiar? Good thing he is blessed...lol

Again, I say, don't get involved in foolish, ignorant arguments that only start fights. A servant of the Lord must not quarrel but must be kind to everyone, be able to teach, and be patient with difficult people. Gently instruct those who oppose the truth. Perhaps God will change those peoples...

Probably couldn't help Himself :) If you had the wisdom, imagination, creative ability and power to invent and create stars and planets, why would you just create one? :D!

I have a question and I'm sure its a common Christian thing globally. When your at church/congregation/gathering and say someone is up the front to be prayed for and all are asked to raise their hand towards them, what does that do? What does it signify? And are there any biblical examples of...

Genesis 1:16 God made two great lights. Its an absolute stunning autumn morning here today so I decided to eat my breakfast outside. And in between spoonfuls of cereal I was just thinking about God and His creation as thepsalmist spurred my on to do this morning (thank you). And I could feel...

I didn't really know what to call this thread.. As I was mowing my Nana's lawn this morning, I had a real sense of Gods pleasure in what I was doing and it kind of struck me and I wondered why..And I thought, I can get so caught up in different things in life, asking God and wondering what His...

As Paul said, if we understood all things, and had the greatest faith but had not love, we are nothing. Such a sobering and profound truth to behold. Let's forget doctrines, and Sabbaths and meats and eschatologies and this ism and that movement, what this preacher is doing and what that person...
