    Good books for starting a christian life?

    Books by Pastor Bob Coy or Max Lucado are very good. I just finished "Every Day Deserves a Chance" by Max Lucado and enjoyed it very much. It is a quick read, too. As a new Christian, keep in mind that various denominations do interpret things differently, and no one has all the answers except...

    The Marketing of Evil

    Has anyone read "The Marketing of Evil" by David Kupelian? I was thinking of getting it and wanted some feedback.

    CF anxiety/panic prayer list.

    Please add me as well, and I will certainly pray for all of those on the list. Lord, we know that you promise us peace and ask us not to worry. Sometimes our anxiety feels very out of control, even when we tell ourselves not to worry. Please guide us and help us to heal. Show us the way. Let us...

    Some Ways to Fight Anxiety

    I have noticed that monthly hormone changes and pollen allergies also have a big effect on my anxiety levels. I would suggest that anything you can do to treat these things should help as well. I use a daily sinus rinse which helps immensely with allergies (and it's all natural). If I go...

    does anyone here have both anxiety and depression?

    Mountain Dew? As someone who has had anxiety for years, I can tell you that Mountain Dew is the last thing you should have. It's caffeine content is sky high. I hope you try to give it up. It will make a difference.

    Are these symptoms of anxiety?

    As someone who has had anxiety problems for years, I can tell you that it sounds like you had a mild panic attack. Don't let it worry you, as it is quite common. As someone else mentioned, breathing is good because you tend to hyperventilate when anxious. You also have to stop yourself from...

    High expectations

    This is a tough call, as I try to look at it from both points of view. I agree that some of their expectations seem ridiculous, but then again, it would be hard to be critical of how they do things, when they have been good enough to take her in this year. Some of what they expect sounds like...

    Son won't go to church

    Thanks to all of you for the replies. It sounds like we may be on the right track, I pray. I had thought about speaking to the youth leader, as suggested, and I'll do that. I'm sure it would be a big help to them if they knew where some of these kids were coming from.

    Son won't go to church

    I'd love to have feedback on this... We've been having a lot of trouble with our youngest son (now 15). He is getting very rebellious in many ways, which I know is typical for his age (and he's ADHD). Anyway, he is now refusing to go to church with us. He has been into wiccan this past year...

    Time for REAL Christian Warriors is NOW !

    Yes, Christians are judgemental because they are human. Always have been, always will be. It's a problem I wrestle with myself, although I sincerely try not to be judgemental. It is always easy to find fault in others:) As far as the church as a whole, I believe a church has to stand for some...

    calling you to minister right here on CF

    It was really great to look over what was said here. I see many people on here seeking answers, so approaching them in a loving way instead of an argumentative or defensive way is crucial. I see many of you doing just that, and I thank you. You have no idea how many people you may have already...

    Ethical to use other people's sermons?

    I agree, and that is how I plan (initially) to approach it....privately with the pastor. I hope that I don't have to take it any further.

    Ethical to use other people's sermons?

    No, I originally came across the entire sermon from that week online, on another pastor's site. It was written by the other pastor several years ago. Our pastor gave the sermon word for word, inserting the name of his family member where the original pastor had his daughter's name. Of course...

    Ethical to use other people's sermons?

    One recent sermon was word-for-word, using his family member's name in place of the original person in the priginal sermon. I came across it quite by accident while researching the sermon topic and it was quite a shock. He always uses anecdotes about family members that didn't really happen to...
