Reformed churches don't have the blow-by-blow testimonials in front of the congregation where you spill your guts to everyone. You meet with the council of elders, give your testimony, answer a few questions. Assuming they accept you, you're recieved into fellowship during worship services by...

By their fruits you shall know them.............

I think a lot of the reason we're seeing this is because the visible church in America is filled with unconverted people who have no interest in being conformed to the image of Christ. Paul Washer estimates that only about 15% of American Christians are really saved. I have to agree.....

I know what you mean. Every Christmas my hubby goes to his union's Christmas party with a retired member who doesn't want to go by himself and I always worry about something happening to him. He only has a couple of beers, but it still worries me. Since I don't have solution for myself, I...

If you have a talent for cupcake making, go for it. Just don't try to steal your former employers customers by undermining and slandering her to her customers.

There's a good reason the Apostle Paul warned against being unequally yoked together with unbelievers. Her world view isn't your world view, or if it is, you've got bigger problems than you mention. As time goes on, you're not going to pull her up to your level, rather she's going to bring you...

Interesting thought that it could be related to the adrenals. I've had adrenal fatigue going on 30 years now and agree it's not something you want to ignore as it can devastate your life.

I read entire books at a time rather than jumping around. By doing that, I'm able to read it in context and get a better understanding of the flow of the book. I read what interests me trying to balance my reading of the Old and New Testament plus reading the gospels twice or three times as...

He was just given total power with this new Council of 12 with him being the 13th member with veto power. The Council of 12 will consist of only those members of Congress who agree with his agenda, and they will forward bills to the House and Senate with orders to pass them. If the bills...

Only 80% disapprove of Congress?? I've heard that it's closer to 90%......

I wish I could say I'm surprised, but I'm not. It's just another example of how our society places no value on human life.

The one thing I would caution you against is attributing everything that goes wrong to Satan and his demons. While I know they act against us, I can honestly say I've read and heard next to nothing about them [as far as them being the source of all our troubles] since I joined a reformed church...

The reformed churches I've been in have been very laid back about the dress code including wearing overalls, shorts and thongs, etc., etc. And that was a PCA congregation so I wouldn't worry about it. I think most pastors are far more interested in seeing people at church regardless of how...

So I take it you want Christians to beg and plead with you to accept Jesus as your Savior? Here's a great sermon about the coming judgment based on what the Bible tells us about it. I guess you need to decide how you think you'll fare in that day. ‪The Judgment of God and the Great...

There are many problems facing the church today and what you mention is a great example of how so many Christians don't believe the Bible. If they did, they would realize that such things as premartial sex is a sin in God's sight. It doesn't matter what the world thinks about 'hooking up' and...
