Welcome, Din, to Christian Forums, the little project of Dr. Erwin Loh that has grown into quite a fascinating and large community. Congratulations on making it this far. You'll find plenty of good old Christian chatter here. Perhaps youve been lurking for a while and have already figured out a bit here and there, like what all those buttons do on the navigation bar at the top, who ChrisBot is, and those particularly dangerous forums that always garner so much attention and trouble (heavy moderation and tempestuous debates). But in case you havent, now might be a good time to take a peek here: FAQ . These FAQs will explain a lot (though not all) of the somewhat confusing things in the eye-feast of overwhelming CF thingies.Dinidh said:Hi!
Ok so I am new to all this forum posting and stuff. I dont normally do it, but right now I have few means to vent. I only recently became a Christian, well in retrospect it is my second encounter with Jesus, but this time it's for real. So yeah, my family aren't too pleased...I think the term "brain-washed bible basher" came up a few times. Maybe it's cause I am quitting university to become a Youth Pastor. I have never felt such a pull to do anything in my whole life. The Lord is really working.
At the moment I am back at my parents house...fellowship is at an all time low. I just got back from the states where I was staying with my best friend (the most awesome girl who led me to Christ) and her family (father and brother ordained ministers) and like a billion Christian friends. So that's why I am here...to hear some good old Christian chatter. I have only been a Christian for two months but somehow I have managed to completely change (strange that )...which means I dont feel like listening to my old friends talk about sex, drugs and all that stuff. At least not at the moment. Oh and my family think I am crazy. But the Lord shines through. He manages to teach me a lesson at every step, with every new challenge, whether overcome or failed. He is awesome in that way. Anyone else living, or lived in a non-christian family? Any advice? I pray daily for them to come to the Lord. I pray with all my heart.
Hope you guys arent bored!

I will pray for you to be encouraged! Don't give up and I thank God that your friend led you to Christ! That is the most important thing. Don't give up praying for your family. Show them by your life living that Jesus is the reason for living!Dinidh said:Hi!
