    starting again in social housing - advice or prayer sought

    You're not being selfish at all, dear, I don't believe. My husband and I are on Section 8 Housing Support as well, and it took us about 3 years. The first place we found was a non-gov't place and it was nice at first but got taken over by a really nasty and incompetent landlord. We prayed to...

    Can a five year old speak in tongues/ have prophesies?

    A minister once told me that the Bible says that a child's prayer can move kings ( I can't find where he was quoting from, but either way It seemed to stick ). I'm one to believe that. Didn't Christ Himself tell us how He saw and valued children? So why would He deny them spirit baptism?

    Is this normal?

    See, i'm worried about the gibberish thing. There's a lady in church, and I'm not going to say she isn't sincere or not spirit-filled, but she does make a spectacle for lack of a better word. I can tell, and I'm sure some others can, when she's in tongues and just babbling. Also, when she's...

    Is this normal?

    I still don't realize just what glories and signs God has for his people when opened to the Spirit. I've seen so much stress put on tongues that I started thinking maybe I just didn't have "it". But I figure that if I'm ment for it then God will gift it.

    What do you think is going to happen in the next five years?

    Personally, I see a revival among our younger believers. Take for instance the movie Jesus Camp. Yes, I know many people don't like that movie or example, but it does say alot of our up-and-coming generation. I've witnessed and heard stories about spirit-filled and Bible christians as young as...

    Is this normal?

    I've only been part of the charismatic church for a couple of months, but amazingly I've has some very strong spiritual signs from God. I've not had tongues yet but my husband has noticed that I'm quite good at understanding the bible and he says he believes I have discernment. I've had...

    What Heresies Do You See Currently Creeping Into The Church?

    Of course there's my worry over the homosexual issue, especially in the pulpit, but that's more of a universal worry than personal. Luckily my church hasn't had a problem with heretical practices or notions yet. I do see so many other curches, pentecostal or otherwise, sneaking to such a...

    must....have....nutella!

    Yeah, I'm an odd bird. My husband tasted Vegemite when he was visiting Hobart in the service. He can't even say the name without a shudder.

    must....have....nutella!

    Ok, to put it plainly I love nutella but the stores here don't sell it and I just can't afford shipping on getting it from "specialty" shops. Anyone out there know a recipe for nutella or at least something close to it? Oh, and perhaps vegemite and marmite too? I'm honestly desiring to...

    comparison on the resurrection in the gospels

    I know this is a very elementary question but I've been trying to figure it out in my mind, and evidentally I'm not as logical as I once thought. I'm trying to come up with a timeline-like approach to the resurrection but in comparing the gospels over it I just seemed to get confused. Was it...

    Tract witnessing and resources

    I'm too shy ( as of yet ) for one-on-one witnessing so I generally just give out tracts. Anyone else who relies mostly on tract witnessing? Perhaps any suggestions for materials? Worldwide Missionary Press is a favourite as well as Chick, but I need something geared more towards Jews and...
