Dear Karen. Dont worry. When the Holy Spirit really gets active in our lives, then we start to hear and see. Many many Christians of all traditions experience this.. When they really meet Jesus and they start looking at him in prayer, then they get very sensitive to sin which they didnt realize...

sister, you wont come closer to Jesus by spending time on the internet.. you will only get distracted.. There is no way around spending time directly with Jesus if you want renewed intimacy with him. I know this is hard... very hard work, but its the only way. I am where you are..and I would...

wow, Michael.. Stating that being "born again" is much more than any of the things I wrote in my reply to the opening poster is really surprising to me. Do you even know the with and depth of words like : conversion, following Christ, confessing who he is and what he has done? Being really...

Dear brother, the words "born again" are from the talk between Jesus and Nicodemus. Its clear from that that Nicodemus was circumcised and part of the people of God at the time of the conversation. Maybe he had even been baptized by John in the Jordan River. Jesus probably there refers to a true...

Oh you wrote this post as well. I think you have a good point. We must know Jesus is on our side.. otherwise we cannot have joy, and we cannot love and trust. I think there will always be a mystery to the suffering in this world, so trust is the way to go. I am not sure I follow all your...

Dear Truthfrees. Thanks so much for that response. Its indeed as you say.. And I have experienced it many times, the Lord's very clear guidance and healing. I guess sometimes when walking through a dry season, or disspointment because of some circumstances, we forget all the wonders that the...

Thank you for your kind reply Turned Around. I am well aware that many people have these same questions to struggle with, as I have met quite a few.

Dear brothers and sisters. I dont know if this is at all a good place to post this.. There is so much nonsense on the internet, also on these Christian pages of every sort. So many people who speak, who have a lot of pride. What I need is some people with a good lenght of life experience, visdom...

Interesting... all these genders, and yet I have only ever met men and women

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ. I know you have probably discussed this in the fora when it was news, but I would like to know your thoughts on this saying by the Pope from November 2013: "authentic Islam and a proper reading of Islam is in contrast to every kind of violence." As a...

You are right, the Catholics don't believe in severel churches. The Bible speaks of only one. We believe the Church Christ founded was the Catholic one but we also believe that Lutherans are part of the mystical body of Christ through baptism, which means, we know you are not Catholics but we do...

I am a single person... and when I read these kinds of things I get real sad.. Its like what men want from marriage is sex/ avoid celibacy. What I want from marriage is a BEST FRIEND, a life companion, a best friend to enjoy life with , good as well as bad times, someone to talk to about...

Hi everybody. I don't know if any of you saw what happend in Denmark, where the Lutheran church has accepted to actually marry homosexual people. They have made a new wedding ritual for them and put it equal with the normal marriage ritual between man and woman. What do you guys think of...

Dear Pastor. I hope you have some people to speak to about these things. Sometimes it helps greatly if we carry the burdens together instead of carrying them alone. Your wife, maybe? Or some close friends in the Lord who have wisdom and who know how life can be tough (people who have been pruned...

My heart goes out to you Pastor. I know a lot of mature Christians have found great comfort and wisdom in Saint John of the Cross' book "The Dark Night of the Soul". It sounds like you are being taken one more level up on the mount Calvary.. Praying for you.
