    “Volunteer Hunting” Deceivers preying on church members.

    I have to ask folks...have you noticed a lot more posers coming into your church for the express purpose of hunting for volunteers to do their dirty work? What’s your opinion on helping these people who are pretending to be Christians? Do you think we should help them anyway as it sets a good...

    Forgiveness & Repentence

    Another thread about forgiveness piqued my interest...mostly because I struggle with these issues and cannot comprehend the emotional mechanics behind them. I know both are required for salvation and our own forgiveness, but I struggle with how to make it....work? Click? Activate? Should...

    Question About Strange FB Behavior (to me, an Aspie)

    Ok, I'm an Aspie and I frequently have no idea how to take certain facebook behaviors. Last week, a lady from church added me to FB because she wanted to send me a song to listen to. I didn't like the song, so I didn't reply. I figured no reply was better than telling the truth that it...

    Question about Sheet Music Resources (Praise Chorus Books)

    For those of you still using sheet music, praise/chorus books, are you finding a serious lack of music resources out there? I am trying to find more modern music books and so far, if I need a piece of sheet music, I have to download it via Music-Notes or get it off the artist's site. That...

    Scammers Taking Advantage of Others in Church

    Why in the world does the Lord let scammers stay in the church? Is it to teach the rest of us patience or test our reactions somehow? There is this old couple (they're neighbors too) in our church whom we used to be friends with, but over the last 3 years, we've discovered that they're lying...

    The Constitution Party - Darryl Castle

    What do you think about third party candidates? I've always been an Independent...now a Constitutionalist. Is there a point voting for them when the electoral vote decides all? I'd like to think if all Christains voted for a Christain candidate...we might turn this thing around....but I hear...

    Performance Hang-Ups

    Any singers on the worship team have some hang-ups that affect your performance? Mine is people's expressions. I know not everyone is going to enjoy your singing, or message. Some people who come to church don't even like Christian music, let alone music! They're just there to check off...

    CPAP problems. Anyone had these effects?

    I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea a few weeks ago. I finally received my CPAP a week ago and started using it. It leaks and slips off my face in the middle of the night, so I'm constantly waking up. I haven't gotten one complete night of sleep since. Even with Ambien or using Aleve...

    Are Parents To Blame For Transgender/Homosexual Children?

    To piggyback off of the other thread regarding Christian's with gay children, I thought to start this thread, because this issue is weighing on my mind...quite heavily as you can imagine. My 17 yr old daughter has expressed that she wants to be a boy. She's been bringing this up for a while...

    Prayers For Difficult People

    Do you have someone difficult or toxic in your life? I do right now. I've tried to distance myself from her because she's always bringing me down, but she always finds me. I noticed that I complain and gossip more when I'm around her. She will say something that really gets me riled up and...

    To Sing or Not To Sing?

    So, I've been singing in church since I was a little girl. I'm an alto and I don't think I sound too bad. I don't sing off key, and I don't screech or sing too loud. I really enjoy singing in the Christian community Christmas cantata every year. I always have a solo and people have told me...
