Thanks. The JWs have been knocking on my door the last few weeks. I haven't answered the door. This time, they put the Awake magazine in my door.

I'm pretty happy with my NLT life application bible. It includes other interpretations in the notes, for reference.

Um yeah. This train wreck is why I never get mixed up in theology and doctrines and tradition. I have read up on it from an informational/educational standpoint, but all I really need to know is that God is the creator of all, sent his son, who died for our sins, we should love one another...

Wow. So, uh, yeah. That was exhausting!

I just feel like we may need this reminder in here. It is what I am currently working on in my own life and the negativity in here is deafening..... From Ephesians 4: 29 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their...

That is what has made this so hard. I am finding some really amazing choices around here. I could probably pick one by eeny meany miney moe and be equally satisfied. Get involved, learn, grow, etc. When the boys group at our regular church seemed to get too big for my son, I let him have...

I think his school is pretty open. Although for all official intents and purposes, I guess he is considered Catholic. He knows the sign of the cross and does it at school and if he attends a Mass. I've never seen him using it at our "other" church. He knows that he is saved (goes to heaven)...

Because I was not raised Catholic and he was. I agreed to learn about it and give it a try with an open mind, which I did. I did not realize how different it was until I went to RCIA. After about a year or so of giving it a fair try, I couldn't take it anymore. To me, it feels fake. I can't...

Well, considering that my hubby is Catholic, and he has a catholic priest for an uncle, Catholic bashing is not really an option. My son will have to be able to make up his own mind when the time comes. Catholicism has its problems, but it is FAR from demonic.

The best and affordable school in our area is catholic. My son has been going there for three years. Love the school so far. As he gets older, I am sure there may be some conflicts that will arise for him since he goes to a Protestant church. Has anyone gone through it? Any advice?

Thanks for all the input. I was afraid I might overkill. We did a very short one today. Just about John 3:16 and talking about what you need to do to be saved. (His answer: just have to believe in God and Jesus and you go to heaven). I loved that when our book referred to a verse, he wanted...

I got a book for my 7 year old son for us to use as a bible study. It's at his level and looks like it will be fun. He has ADHD and we do attend church on Sunday and Wednesday nights. What I am trying to figure out if it is best to try to do this weekly, so I am not overwhelming him... Or...

Thanks to those who have offered some great insights. I am probably a non-denominational person, if that is a thing.... since I have never aligned myself with any specific denomination. I also don't get wrapped up in traditions, doctrines, legalism, policy, or any of that other "stuff". I...

Thanks for all of the input! Interesting comparisons on the buildings. As it happens, the CMA is a huge church with recent additions, but also has a ton of good things going on. The AOG church is very small in numbers and is literally falling apart thanks to storms that led to a water main...

I guess I should expand a little bit. When I got married, it was a fully Catholic ceremony. (Hubby is Catholic). Not realizing the differences, I agreed to at least learn and try being Catholic. I thought, no problem. After a year or two, I just couldn't stand it anymore. I got nothing out...

So many great options for boys. How do you choose?

My hubby is calling me a church hopper. I guess it's true. I have found several really good churches and I just can not make up my mind. How do you choose?

Revelation is not a puzzle to solve. Getting caught up in finding a date will make you lose sight of the big picture. Just build a relationship with Christ now. The date will be irrelevant. If you are listening to Harold Camping-STOP! He is seriously misguided and leading people down the...
