I would say – yes! I am reading a book called Prayer – the Key For Salvation” by Fr. George Mueller. If anything is needed from us to be saved it is prayer. I am not talking about going through the externals. It is praying a sincere, heartfelt prayer. We cannot honor God with our lips but our hearts be far from Him. But the one who prays a lot depends on Him a lot. The one who prays a little depends on God a little. The one who never prays does not depend on Him at all. Dependence on God is what the Bible means by faith. John 3:16 say “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, so that he who believes in Him shall not perish but may have everlasting life”. That word “believes” is in the present, continuous tense...

I'm graciously asking for advice on a struggle that I can't seem to shake.

The background...

My wife and I serve as volunteer ministry leaders in a church of about 200. We've been at the church for about 5 yrs. Our pastor started this church about 10 years ago. The pastor and I are fairly close, talking/texting a few times a week.

About a month ago at a small group (with our pastor present) my wife shared that she was struggling with some career ambiguity/satisfaction, the idea of getting older, and some hopes and dreams not coming to fruition. She communicated in such a way that it didn't come across as emotionally-charged, excessively heavy or emergent. More like, "This is what's on my heart right now."

Last week, my wife...

So many new threads recently turning from scripture and insisting that traditions of man are all that matters...

What did Christ say?

Mark 7
6 And He said to them, “Rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written:
‘This people honors Me with their lips,
But their heart is far away from Me.
7 ‘But in vain do they worship Me,
Teaching as doctrines the precepts of men.’
8 Neglecting the commandment of God, you hold to the tradition of men.”
9 He was also saying to them, “You are experts at setting aside the commandment of God in order to keep your tradition. 10 For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, ‘He who speaks evil of father or mother, is to be put to death’; 11 but you say, ‘If a man says to his...

What do you think are some red flags in dating/relationships

I got baptised over three years ago in a church which was adequate, but I stopped attending for personal reasons. I have investigated, and in some cases visited, numerous churches since then - Methodist, Church of Scotland, Anglican, Quakers, three independent churches*, Russian Orthodox, Baptist, Unitarian, The Salvation Army, Gospel Church and even the Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses - yet I have not found a single one in which I felt wholly comfortable.

It may be that I am overly fussy, and it's certainly true that in every single congregation I met some lovely, genuine people and often enjoyed the services. I am sure people reading this forum belong to some of those churches, so I will not single any of them out for particular...

I know that this sounds like am unpopular opinion but I believe we as a society do not do enough to protect retail corporations from fraud and theft. There are even other Christians in know who seem to view theft from say a Walmart as some what more forgivable than theft from a person. I don't think that there should be a distinction, there isn't one legally and definitely not one as per the 10 commandments. It just really irks me when some one tells me "well is just a Walmart it is not like it was some old lady or something ". I personally think this type of justification is a slippery slope towards more immorality.
This is a bit of a rant but this is what got me so hot over this.
A couple nights ago I went down to an arcade bar with...

Are Gates and Walls Immoral? If you believe in God, and you answered yes, you might want to rethink that.

Trump is building a wall on the Southern border, and many Democrats called it "immoral".
But if those same Democrat Politicians, Liberal Fake News Media(ABC, NBC, CBS), and Democrat voters call it immoral, then what do they think about the Pearly Gates before you enter heaven?

What do Democrat voters think about Democrat Politicians living in gated communities with walls? Why did Obama raise the fence that surrounds the White House, when he was President, if Walls, and fences or so Racist, and Immoral?

It's quite simple actually...…...It's because they're not Racist or Immoral. It's simply just another lie from the Fake Democrat...

The old covenant was an agreement between the nation of Israel and God: If Israel obeyed the laws of Moses, then God would bless (Deuteronomy 28:1-14). If Israel did not obey the laws of Moses, then God would curse (Deuteronomy 28:15-68). And if after the blessings and curses were poured that Israel returned to the Lord, he would restore them from captivity and back to the land of Israel (Deuteronomy 30:1-5). Thus, the Promises and Curses of the Law of Moses were CONDITIONAL upon the nation Israel's obedience.

As we can see in scripture:

-Israel was blessed according to the law of Moses (1 kings 8:56)
-Israel was cursed according to the law of Moses (Daniel 9:13)
-Israel was restored to the land after Babylonian exile (Jeremiah...
