    Why would one be happy smashing Babylonian babies against rocks?

    This scripture seems to be the cry of one who lives under the Old Testament concept of "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth." The Babylonians utterly destroyed Jerusalem, no doubt smashing babies on the rocks, among many other torturous, evil deeds. The psalmist is crying out in his pain that...

    If God can do ANYTHING...

    God is our Heavenly FATHER. It may help to think of this in terms of family relationships. Your mom or dad CAN make you do everything they want you to except make you love them. (They can also get arrested for it if it's not right.) Good fathers (and God is the BEST) want their kids to love...

    1 more thing that troubles this agnostic

    It is impossible to live the Christian life without the power of the Holy Spirit within us. It is He who changes our hearts and minds to become more Christlike as we "renew our minds" by reading the Bible, praying, and staying plugged into a local group of Christians. Don't try to change your...

    Yet, another Tongues/Interpretation question

    In answer to your question: 1Co 14:26 How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying. This seems to imply the tongue is when they are together...

    A sign in my head?

    Elisha1961 please don't be offended but I think you are missing the point. I am wondering about a SIGN in my head, regardless of the subject matter. As to your point, I don't have enough hours in the day to do both. At first I didn't want to be very specific about the subject matter because...

    A sign in my head?

    OK, let me be more specific here. Let's say I'm an accountant (although everybody I know calls me a bookkeeper) and I've often thought about becoming a writer. So, I keep asking myself: bookkeeper or writer? bookkeeper or writer? And in fact I often find myself feeling guilty because I just...

    Do you struggle with Holiness?

    This might be stating the obvious, but I find the times I grow in holiness are when I'm spending more time in the Word.

    PREACHING ??? Does the style matter???

    I personally LOVE Joel Osteen (and others like him) because I think he teaches the Word (yes, he does use scripture) in a way that exhibits the fruit of the Spirit which includes love, joy, peace, GENTLENESS, meekness, and kindness. He "draws" people to Christ, he doesn't browbeat them. As I...

    A sign in my head?

    I am a Spirit-filled Christian and I was at a powerful meeting tonight and something happened I'd like your opinion about. The message included a lot of discussion about the importance of knowing your calling. This is an area I've struggled with for quite some time. During the closing prayer I...

    Privacy yet honesty?

    Wow...good idea to publish it as a novel! I could so totally do that and disguise everything and say its based on a true story. I have struggled with this difficulty for years...thank you SO much for suggesting this solution! Re Christian publishers, I've worked at a lot of them and I know...

    Privacy yet honesty?

    A pseudonym IS a fake name. Considering I only have 2 children, even if I change their names, locations, etc. in the book, when people hear me being interviewed they will know who the kids are. I don't think I could pull off all the hullabaloo around here of having been published and not have...

    Christian Publishers?

    Do an internet search for Sally Stuart's Christian Writers' Market Guide and you can find her website. Her book is the absolutely best info on who's publishing what and what their writer's guidelines are.

    Privacy yet honesty?

    I wrote an autobiographical book similar to the writings of Joyce Meyer. Unfortunately, there are so many nasty things that happened in my family, both in childhood and as an adult, that now I can't figure out any way to get the book published. If I publish under a pseudonym noone will publish...

    Claiming to be Christian while saying "If God exists"

    Perhaps instead of saying they aren't a Christian, ask them if they consider themselves to have a personal relationship with the Lord. How can they say these things if they do? Christianity is not a set of beliefs. That is religion. Many people mistake having religion as being a Christian. If...

    Advice on dating a guy w/ a kid

    Do you have brothers and sisters? Often expectant mothers worry that they won't be able to love the second child as much as the first. After the child is born, they discover love doesn't divide, it multiplies. Maybe your insecurities make you think when your sweetie shows attention to his ex...
