    Yaawwn!!

    This is quite possibly one of the most boring testimonies you may ever read. I share it not to impress, but to show that God doesn't expect us to be at our rock bottom worst. I was at a church service, when the minister called people up for prayer. My friend nudged me and asked if I wanted to go...

    Give God thanks

    If there's already a thread like this, my apologies. Today I thank God for, waking up, going to work, having a place to come back to after work, food, clothing, family and friends, His love, His mercy, His grace, every breath I take, To live in a free country, and tons more.

    Sorry!

    Sorry :sorry: , I never made it to the mass today. I got to thinking last night I wanted to check out a few more churches. This isn't something I want to just rush into. I'm thinking maybe a weekday mass to start. Hope I didn't let everyone down, but this is something that could lead to a major...

    Leading up to my visit, so far...

    As some of you know, I've mentioned a desire to visit a Catholic church. Thank you for all the advice, by the way. Well, one thing I hadn't decided for certain, was which one to visit. There is one just a few blocks from home and another just a few blocks from my work. I go to work at 3 oclock...

    Visiting a Catholic church

    This sunday, I'd like to visit a Catholic church. But, I want to be respectful of the dos and do nots. Any particular advice? Do they let people just come in and sit for the service or what? Thanks

    A prayer request if you could?

    A few requests. They may seem trivial to some, but to me they are important. They are as follows... 1. Keep me in prayer that I would have God's strength to keep exercising and stay away from Junk food. 2. Prayer for direction in going toward a better career path. Maybe training or...

    How do Catholics feel about the rapture?

    I bring this up, because the more I look into this particular doctrine, the less valid it seems. From what I gather so far, it's something slapped together by some fundamentalist Christians 100 or so years ago and doesn't seem to have much biblical backing. Ps: Before responding, please keep...

    Sorry Cedric, but you're no Ralph Kramden

    Ok, I usually don't knock a movie before seeing it, and I'm not really. The new Honey Mooners movie, may turn out be very good as a general comedy. But, it does not even come close to the original Honey Mooners TV series. There, I've said my peace.

    TV Evangelism, good or bad?

    It seems like there have been a number of posts, recently, about specific TV preachers, such as Benny Hinn and Joyce Meyer and the legitimacy of their teaching and ministries. Overall, how does everyone feel about Television ministries? Are they helping or hurting the body of Christ?

    The Eucharist

    Hi again folks, :wave: When Catholics celebrate the Eucharist or Holy Communion as other churches call it, What exactly, is meant by the real presence of Jesus? Many Protestant Denominations, as you know, take the bread and wine as only symbolic.

    A Lesson in Devotions

    I may be writing this only for myself. But, if it builds up or edifies anyone else, so much the better. I am notoriously tough on myself when it comes to my prayer and devotional life. I realize I'm not alone in this, of course. But, there are times I feel as though, if I could spend even ten...

    Growing interest in Catholicism?

    Over the last couple of years, I've been nurturing a growing fascination with Catholicism, and I've been noticing, I'm not the only one. I suppose for myself, it has partly to do with my religious background (Baptized in a Catholic church as a baby). But also, because of a longing to find some...
