    CA public school system?

    I was in seventh grade at that time, and we NEVER had to do anything like that. Nor did I in any subsequent years of my CA public schooling. In biology, we did do a unit on evolution. However, before we started we read a debate between a creationist and an evolutionist. We were also informed...

    God of Restoration/Teen Challenge

    I want to say I am so glad that I serve a God that restores people's lives. I went to church tonight, and was greatly blessed to have someone who came out of the Teen Challenge program sharing his testimony. God is restoring so many lives through that program. It's very encouraging to see that...

    Most of you are wrong

    To expand on this a bit, do you think that preachers deserve what they are paid? I know of one man who was heavily criticized for his salary. However he ran an entire Christian theme park (which at it's peak was only rivaled by both Disney parks), a 24 hour a day satellite network, hosted a...

    So, what do you think of a church like this?

    It reminded me of an episode of "Touched By An Angel". Here's the synopsis: Tess returns to the town of a previous assignment and she and Monica help Joanna open an Aids hospice. Joanna is injured in a bomb blast and Tess is brought face to face with a white supremacy group headed by her...

    where did the tithes message first taught in the church?

    It is very difficult for me because I don't believe in tithing, yet I go to a church that does and is strict on it. I enjoy giving above and beyond, but I didn't indicate if it was tithe or offering. Apparently tithe goes to the pastor's and offering goes to church funds. I do want to bless my...

    Richard Roberts Stepping down from ORU

    Wow, I almost went to this university until the Lord directed me elsewhere. Due to that fact, this issue is close to my heart. I was emailing back and forth with one of the faculty over at ORU and she said that she loves the university and is grateful for all of the prayers. If anyone is...

    2007 World Series of Poker won by a Christian.

    Just because you don't have a personal conviction with drinking doesn't mean that someone else doesn't have a conviction with drinking. I, personally, don't drink nor gamble. They are both personal convictions. However, I think it is great that this man won and is giving the money to a...

    More Scandals, More Mess!

    I will be praying for that school. I almost wound up going there for this school year, but the Lord had me go on a different path than what I wanted.

    Randi and Paula White (of Church Without Walls) anounce their divorce

    This is so sad to see such heartbreak in people's lives. Looking at Paula's face in that picture truly is worth a thousand words. :( I'll be praying for them, and that God will help them reconcile and hopefully not be so focused on money.

    Whatever happened to ... ?

    Bryan Duncan was just in my area on Saturday. A friend of mine was able to talk with him, and have him sign his CDs. My friend said that he used to view Bryan as high and mighty able to do no wrong so to speak, but after talking with him he realized that Bryan was just a normal, down to earth...

    Genesis Questions

    Hello everyone! I have started a Bible study course, and as I am going along I have jotted down a couple of questions. I'm currently finishing up lesson one (Genesis 1-4). I would appreciate if my questions were answered by people who don't think the whole book of Genesis is symbolic. FYI, I...

    WoF/Spirit-Filled Books that shouldn't be Missed

    Joyce Meyer wrote a book called, Me and My Big Mouth. It really made me think about the things that I say and the effect (or is it affect?) that words that are spoken have on my life.

    Prayer Request

    Hello all! I have a prayer request if you don't mind. I have two job interviews this week, and I need prayer that I get one of these jobs. I also pray that if I get the job I would be a good steward with the money (not foolishly spending it). I also would appreciate prayer that I can regain more...

    What do you think of this?

    Wow, that's funny because I heard the a similar teaching last Friday. Basically it was just that you can't have one without the other. You can't have love without joy, you can't have joy without peace, etc.

    Does mass evangelism really work?

    Even if people aren't integrated in church, etc. was there a seed planted in their hearts? Something that they may eventually act upon. Just a thought.
