    My son - a prodigal

    Thank you everyone. We visited him this week and I believe I could see some positive difference in his spirit. This encouraged both his mother and I. We are not without hope.

    Forum Attendence Down!

    As a newbie to these forums, I have to say that there is just way too much extra stuff loading besides the actual discussion. I didn't see it before, but maybe by changing, they shut out anyone with dial-up...who knows. Also, the written word is only one part of human to human relationship so...

    changing place of worship

    You know, I once had real dogmatic beliefs in this area but, as usual, God has challenged me in that too. The first thing I would ask is...does the church you are leaving have any non-biblical, heretical practice or teaching....something that does not line up with the Word of God? Or maybe it...

    What have you learned through suffering?

    Thank you all for your posts! You have all ministered to me greatly. What I have learned in suffering.... God has humbled me and shown me my prideful heart because I would not humble myself. He continues to do this...but hopefully I am now willing and don't need too much more suffering in...

    Meditation

    I think just reading Scripture and considering how it applies to your life at that point in time is meditation. I'm old enough now that I've been through the bible a number of times and even now passages that I once read right over jump right out at me. The Word is very powerful and will speak...

    My son - a prodigal

    Please pray for my son. He is 19 and away from the Lord in his second year of college. He was saved at a young age. He is pretty much like the prodigal in that he rebelled walked away from the faith to taste the ways of the world. He is still tasting. Please pray... - that the ways of the...

    Volume Levels

    One solution that I have seen used is this... Spend the money to give the instrumentalists "in-ear monitors" Then they can have the music as loud as they want and nobody else has to hear it. This will let the overall monitor mix on the platform/stage be much lower. Then you don't need to...

    Denomination or Church Affliation? (Charismatic - Non-WoF)

    Wow.....It never ceases to amaze me how God has his people just about everywhere. I'm a member of the same church as you all. You know, the one with Jesus as the head and the rest of us joined in unity by the Holy Spirit. I'm so thankful to be part of it. I was saved at 14 under an Anglican...

    Volume Levels

    Many instrumentalists (and possibly soundmen) may have come out of the world and only know how to play one way....LOUD! And by the way....loud does not equal skilled....loud does not equal worshipful. In my opinion, it is copying a "rock concert" method in the church to try to make seekers...

    Interupting Worship!

    Or no Praise and Worship. (as we traditionally call it...ie: song service)

    What is Non-Word of Faith Mean?

    Hi ....new here ....first post. Hopefully that doesn't disqualify my opinion too much. I agree with everything presented by jeolmstead along with the enhancements made by TheMatmanReturns with the exception of just one point. If you will permit me.... I don't think Word of Faith is defined...
