    Prayers about my social connections / friends

    I am in a situation where I feel that my professing Christian friends are worldy and unregenerate. I am in a situation where the Bible is telling me to avoid fellowship but all of my emotions are telling me that I want to be with the group. I have sought God for this and he is delivering me...

    Pray for the healing of my beliefs and my mind

    Thank you guys. I'd add another prayer: Pray that this next semester at college (It is my second year, third semester at Christian College, I am getting a degree in Bible) I will mature more than any other semester that I have matured, in stature with God and man, in the forms of the fruit of...

    I need opinions on a church

    I need opinions on the sermons of a church in my area to decide whether or not they are in apostasy. I have posted a thread about this before. But this is a new one needing help. The mission statement is "church for the unchurched". Their doctrinal belief statement isn't entirely thurough but...

    Pray for the healing of my beliefs and my mind

    I used to be a part of a group called RSD, real social dynamics. It's a "pickup artist guru" group where they have all these philosophies about how to pick up girls and dominate social life. Basically they tell guys that the more you push yourself into harder and scarier situations the more...

    Does 2 Corinthians 6:14 relate to unbelieving parents?

    I realized I was in the wrong here and very judgemental towards them.

    Is it right to leave a church because it is seeker-friendly?

    Yes, the but the NT church did not have the kind of theological heresy and controversies that it has today. There was no emergent church. So, when the church met together it was obvious that they were all true believers. Now, however, we have adapted Christianity to our American culture in a way...

    Does 2 Corinthians 6:14 relate to unbelieving parents?

    Thank you brothers and sisters for your intervention Yes, this cleared things up I am an adult and should not feel obliged to 'submit to my father' while I live here as in be around when he is here just because he is here... that isn't submission.. See my father never disciplned us--I never...

    Does 2 Corinthians 6:14 relate to unbelieving parents?

    Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. What about if your parents are unbelievers? I am 22. I am still living with my dad until I can afford to move out. But I feel so much hatred and anger coming from him because I am an unbeliever Our mom left the family when we were young...

    Is it right to leave a church because it is seeker-friendly?

    Rets.. First I want to thank you for going through so much time and effort to help a brother in Christ. I am yet again amazed that this community is so committed to the building of each other up. Who else would do this for me? Not even some of my friends. You have made more clear to me...

    Is it right to leave a church because it is seeker-friendly?

    I think what Terene is saying is that.. there is a time for everything. Think about it, ecclesiastes has much to say about this. In the same way there is a time for donuts and a time for not donuts. I do not think a time for donuts is when people need to be prepared to open their ears and...

    Is it right to leave a church because it is seeker-friendly?

    Firstly I am amazed that this thread has gotten 8 pages within one night of posting it, really shows that there is fast advice for a brother in need on this forum. Terene, I praise you for being 19 years old and having the wisdom you do. Reading your posts I can connect with your spirit and...

    Is it right to leave a church because it is seeker-friendly?

    Because the men above me have graduated from the college they are sending me to to study, they have more years on me. I guess I have to let go of fear of man and stand strong in my youth... Yeah--they could be a springboard for into the world but isn't there something wrong with not preaching...

    Is it right to leave a church because it is seeker-friendly?

    I am part of a church that is seeker friendly. I went to a pastor to have an hour long discussion about him to let him know my concerns about the church.. I pointed out that I am concerned about the theology of the church as it is built around unbelievers and not the body of Christ and elect...

    My D-group is full of Rob Bell, Greg Boyd, Marcus Borg followers.

    I'm in a 'discipleship group' of about 5 guys. Three of them I highly believe are Christians. Two of them the Spirit keeps telling me they are idolaters. There is nothing more confusing or dangerous than a Christian who really doesn't follow Christ. At least with an Atheist you know his...
