Then don't commit, just go and enjoy the fellowship. It's nice to belong, but it's not necessary to become a member if you don't want to. And if you do become a member, you don't have to remain there if you choose to move one -- "Be free in the Lord and in the glory of his might."

It's good you come together with Christians of various religions. The Book of Revelations talk about seven churches. What most don't understand is it's referring to groups of people. With that in mind, look to the people in a religion that is in step with the word of God, then you worship with...

The way to confuse God's word is to create a multitude of denominations with a bunch of rules, regulations and restrictions about all the things you can't do that are not Biblical. That is why church research is necessary. Ask people you encounter about their church. If they say it's a...

Lord Jesus told us that he came so that we may enjoy life and enjoy life more abundantly. So, wouldn't traveling to interesting places, or lounging on a pink sand beach while gazing at a turquoise ocean be a part of that? And it's good that you want to protect the environment, but either you go...

Not to take away from the blessing your parents allowed to be bestowed upon you as a baby, being fully emerged into water is how John the Baptist did it and how Jesus instructed it be done. So, now that you're an adult you want to have a similar baptism, be it in a swimming pool, tub, lake or pond.

Denominational is fine as long as it's a Bible teaching ministry. I've belonged to both and leaned toward non-denominational. I find that denominations can be given to rules, requirements and restrictions that are not God-centered. They also tend to be more judgmental because of the same...

What I want to know is has Trump done ANYTHING for ANY average citizen. He has done plenty for the rich, i.e. the large tax break (that took away our home interest tax write-off and will cause most American to get tax increases starting in 2020), and he manipulates the stock market with his...

Because it is common practice for former presidents to stay out of current politics. President Obama is a class act, he will not step outside of his space unless absolutely necessary.

Memorize the Ten Commandments, and two more Jesus reiterated in Matthew 22:37 & verse 39. Live by them. The rest is common sense and the moral choices Jesus requested (you'll come across them in the new testament). Too many Christians are in bondage because of un-important rules and beliefs...

If the church teaches from the Bible, and I mean the pastor encourages the congregation to read along, then the pastor breaks it down, then don't worry about the religion. Religious organizations' rules mean nothing if all you get is what they stand for and not how to comprehend and use God's...

Always pray to the Father, God, and closed the prayer "in Jesus' name. Amen."

Life can make our faith wobbly, but a spec of faith is very powerful. You are to believe in your spirit, the heart of who you are, by accepting God's teaching. God's word is alive, it's fluid and pregnant. When you read God's word it's your spirit that receives, thus your heart is fed (your...

Jesus said if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God has risen him from the dead, then you shall be saved. Since he didn't apply any other conditions, then you should ignore people's opinions. Gentiles are anyone who is not a Jew. Prophets are people I...

I now have the worst anxiety in the world thinking about eternal damnation. I just wish god would tell me if I am alright or not. I do not want to live if there is zero hope left. That, David, is the place the enemy wants you. He wants you to end this life before you turn back to God. He's...

I am an aspiring screenwriter whose goal is to get the general public interested in reading movie scripts. The above title is my contest winning screenplay that can be downloaded from the BigRoost site. The contribution is only $3.50, which gets me a much needed percentage. Hopefully you will...
