Learning good stewardship is something I also struggled with. But here is a nice and easy five step plan to get you started with financial responsibility. Whenever you receive your paycheck, get a piece of paper and write the amount. Then, start subtracting money from your check in this order...

Every testimony is special, but I can understand why this one raises questions in your head. Christianity is more than just emotionalism, because emotions are fleeting. This is a book I heard of once called Mega-Shift. This is a collection of testimonies about real-world miracles happening here...

I don't deny this is true of many televangelists and such, but does it seem possible a faithful Christian could also become prosperous through God's divine favor?

I am not worried about any reputation. Nor do I consider it a waste of time to discuss the things of God. Jesus told the little children to come to him and turned no one away. I have a few things I don't like about your post but I would like you to go in depth into your ideological understanding...

Hello Christian Forums, I've been struggling with this doctrine lately because I'm not a rich Christian, nor am I particularly needy. I've always believed prosperity theology to be wrong, but some spiritual leaders whom I respect are making me think otherwise. What is prosperity theology...

The Old Testament contains two kinds of laws. Ceremonial and moral. Ever since Jesus fulfilled the law, we are no longer required to follow the ceremonial laws (like sacrificing) but we are still required to keep the moral laws. So to answer your question, mixed fabric is a ceremonial law, so...

Tuna Melt. Yum.

I've been in this position before AmberB; not concerning the Sabbath, but other things. The first point I want to help you understand is that you can't loose your salvation. If you trusted Jesus as Lord and Savior, there is nothing you can do that will send you to hell. Secondly, the Sabbath...

Could you please help me understand some of these theories behind this book idea?

I am not known as a grinch during the Christmas season, and normally I enjoy the season very much. However, I have a million things to do, more and more people to entertain and I've stepped out of my comfort zone by getting a catered meal. We haven't even roasted the bird and I'm already...

I can't say definitively at the minute. All I know is that there's a difference between breaking a vow accidentally, and breaking it intentionally. That's not an excuse because the Bible clearly says God demands that all sin be dealt with, no matter what our motives were, but God used Sampson...

Sorry if I had to leave my computer for a minute. That does make sense, but maybe another Bible story will shine light onto this issue. Try reading these two passages (Acts 5:1-11 and Acts 8:9-25) It seems curious God would kill Ananias and Sapphira but spare Simon the Sorcerer for committing...

I've been trying to write a space opera for about a year. It's about time I finished it.

A whole other issue, yes, and I have asked this question myself but haven't found the answer yet. I am studying different subjects and questions right now, but I'll return to it eventually.

A pastor I listened to once (probably Robert Jeffers) said that God most often kills people supernaturally during the start of something big. In this case, the Israelites were freshly exposed to God's law for the first time, and the consequences of breaking it had to be apparent early on. It was...
