    feeling nothing at church?

    I've felt this before. And I've learned: I CANNOT base my faith on feelings! Sometimes, God just wants to see if you will stay faithful to Him even though you dont "feel" Him. Guess what? God is always with you!!!! He will never leave you nor forsake you! He loves you passionately, and no...

    As a Wesleyan, how would you define a Christian?

    A Christian is an ordinary person loved and chosen by an extraordinary God. A Christian is a sinner, but regardless of what he/she does, the grace of God will cover it all, the blood of Jesus making us pure. Even though we're not perfect, it's not about us and what we do, it's about God and...

    Any Congregation Methodists or Wesleyans here?

    I'm a Wesleyan in North Carolina. My church has a contemporary and a traditional service, and Wesleyans, to me, are very concerned with missions, church planting, and outreach, my church included. We give 10% of the churches tithes to missions and our previous youth pastor felt called by God...

    I hate my father, please help

    I'm listening. I'm praying. You know, kids should learn how to respect from their parents. However, if your parents aren't setting that example, maybe you need to be the example to them. No, it won't be easy, but it'll be worth it. Believe it or not, God cares about your situation, too. He'll...

    Salvation by Grace?

    No. They have to believe it first. Then they are saved. God's not gonna force it on you if you don't want it. Yeah, it's free, but you have to accept it, to ask God for it, and He'll give it to you. :)

    Salvation by Grace?

    We hate the fact that we don't have to "do" anything to obtain salvation. All we have to do is accept it. Christianity has never been about what we do for God, but what He does for us and for Himself. Jesus already paid the price for salvation when He died His terrible death. He loves us so...
