    Presbyterian PCA church

    Well, I didn't go to that church today, but I may in the future. I went back to a Baptist church with some moderate leanings that I have been to last year. I really enjoy the music there and the sanctuary is beautiful. I say moderate leanings because even though it is Baptist they allow women...

    Presbyterian PCA church

    I found a church online that is near my home that is Presbyterian PCA and wanted to know what the main difference would be between that group and other denominations like Baptist or Methodist? It looks like it is one of the more conservative parts of the Presbyterian church. If I did go in...

    Would you attend a same sex marriage?

    Good question. I would have to think long and hard on that, but I disagree that simply attending a same sex wedding implies that you approve of it. I think if I cared about the person and was invited I might attend the service if it was outside of a church setting.

    How ambitious should a Christian man be ?

    I think a person should want to try and do their best in whatever they do. It is not dishonoring to God to do your best and to use your talents well. However if your ambitions are to do something that is contrary to God's will then you should be concerned.

    Losing salvation

    the key word is you "feel like" you lost your salvation. We can't base our salvation on how we feel. The other possibility is that you weren't really saved to begin with and therefore you can't lose what you never had.

    Do Baptist believe they can hear God today immediately, or only through scripture?

    I don't believe that God will contradict his written word if He does speak to you. We have to let scripture be the final source of authority. But, I have had a few times in my Christian life where I felt like God was giving me a specific word of comfort for me. It was not audible. It was...

    I don't like the churches where I live. What do I do?

    I can appreciate what your saying because I find that I feel completely lost in the bigger churches and like nobody would care if I was there or not. And I don't like being a part of a church where I feel like I am at a rock concert. I think maybe you should try calling one of the...

    Changing up fitness routine

    Sounds like you have a lot of parks. We have a busy highway outside of our small neighborhood and I would not think it is safe to ride a bike on the shoulder of the highway. Sounds like a good routine you have going

    Dating unbelievers, tips , share your experience

    I went out once with an unbeliever when I was in high school. The girl I was with actually got annoyed that I was talking about God. I liked her until I got to know her (I thought she was pretty) and then lost interest in the relationship and we never went out again

    Changing up fitness routine

    I was going to start jogging last week and did it a few times, but I have been getting bored with running on a treadmill. So, today I thought that what I would do is change things up and do treadmill, stair master and elliptical on different days and maybe some weigh training also. I'm more...
