    MaterialWealth + Christianity=?

    Well lets just say it does matter Is the person who gives 10% a month to charity any better than the person who decides to give away 10% or more of their life savings in their will? Or is the person giving the money away after they die, hoarding their money while living? I would like to see...

    MaterialWealth + Christianity=?

    I do not have the link to it, and I thought I would spare the readers of the breadth of the article. It doesnt direclty say you lose your salvation if X% of money is not donated. But it does show the importance of this issue. And still raises the question, What about those greatly blessed...

    MaterialWealth + Christianity=?

    Well like ive said im all for doing my part. I have no problem investing some of what God has blessed me with and giving it unto the hands of those that are needy. Particulary Africa and the conflict diamonds, and the AIDS crisis there it has always been a soft spot for me. But that is another...

    Premarital Sex

    Ever since I was little I have just wanted a stable relationship, get married and have a family that has always been my dream. And because of my conditions and what was happening at the time I felt like this dream would never come to pass (had a severe chest deformity). So instead of praying...

    I feel like a horrible Christian

    And sometimes I get scared when I read scriptures from the Bible where it talks about how thieves, drunkards, the sexual immoral, shall not inherit the kingdom of God. But then I remember all have sinned and have fallen short of the glory of God. Its in my past, pre marital sex is something I...

    I dont know whats wrong with me

    I do have worries within this week or so, I was on these forums and I saw a post that showed a link to a website where people were sent a tshirt for youtubing themselves rejecting the salvation of Christ. I was at work and it was later at night and it just made me feel sick to my stomach. And...

    One of the biggest joys I could imagine

    Would be if I could save my own brother. My mom and dad used to keep us involved in church but at the time my brother was very young. And one way or another we got so tied up in school/ work/ etc. that we lost touch of fellowship. My brother is now 15 years old (going on 16) and I love him...

    I feel like a horrible Christian

    Thanks for your words everyone I was a bit worried about this Names being erased from the book of life: Which is true, but the one thing that was not mentioned is: FREE WILL. You can choose to reject Jesus Christ, even after being saved (not a good idea). The author of Hebrews 6:4-6 tells us...

Everyday that goes by I feel so convicted for having trespassing God and not remaining sexually pure (we had premarital sex when I was around 19) , knowing I shouldn't have done it. It feels as if im in chains. I know...

    I feel like a horrible Christian

    So this is somewhat of a testimonial and what I have done wrong with my walk with God. I became a Christian when I was in the 8th grade on a camping trip with our high school (private Christian high school obviously). I was floored it was something that was very real to me, but as time went on I...

    Revelation

    Also, when people start vanishing and leaving the earth is this prior to the anti christs reign, because I thought I remember reading something about a 7 year persecution period by Christians or those who didn't accept the anti christ... so are we stuck here during all this or are we gone...
