    Is it wrong

    If your playing of WOW is not causing you to stumble in your Christian walk, then no, I don't think its wrong. That said - the fact that you are questioning your use of prayer regarding this game to me is a sign that it could become a problem for you. I would advise you to spend some time in...

    I can't find a good denomination for me!

    When I left the church, I was striving for that personal relationship that you speak of. Maybe I wasn't applying myself as others have mentioned, but honestly - I was going through the motions and I wasn't being spiritually fed. My advice would be to seek out bible-teaching churches that focus...

    Different denominations prefer different bible translations?

    I attend a Free Will Baptist church - we use KJV exclusively on Sundays. The Sunday school teacher uses NKJV. When I asked my pastor to recommend a translation he mentioned those two I just mentioned or the NASB.

    Telling Christian family that I want out...

    The bible clearly teaches Christians that we are not to be unequally yolked. Until VERY recently I was unequally yolked. I am a Christian and my DH was not. I knew going in that my DH was not Christian and I was okay with that, but it was definitely something we struggled with for a good number...

    What kind of Baptist are you?

    voted freewill baptist. It just happens to be the church I am at. I'm not sure I'd call myself freewill baptist - or give myself any label at this point yet.

    How would you have handled this

    yes a friend had pointed this out to me. The Holy Spirit was definitely already present otherwise I would've run off at the mouth. My mama-bear instincts tend to get the better of me much of the time!

    I'm jumping ship

    Welcome, I've recently jumped shipped as well... Like you I was socially liberal and very conservative in my own personal life. I'm noticing though that as I grow deeper in my faith that I'm becoming more socially conservative as well... to the point where I was no longer feeling welcome at a...

    How would you have handled this

    because I didn't. Not really. I didn't. We were in the pediatrician's office Monday afternoon for my kids appts. (aged 10 months and 4) Anyhow, this older woman came in with her teenage (I want to say grand-daughter) She seemed very put out that she even had to be there, gave the...

    Recipe for a strong and HAPPY marriage

    we took what was called "marriage prep" classes. (we were married in the Catholic church) Personally I liked them because it gave us talking points to discuss... It was like a retreat setting (over the course of a few afternoons OR you could take a weekend) There were talks on finances...

    Ray Boltz comes out

    He IS continuing on with his career. He has joined a church and giving concerts. It says so right on his website. http://www.rayboltz.com/ it states clearly in the bible that we are to love the sinner and hate the sin. It's really sad that he has chosen this lifestyle, but all we can do is...

    altar calls?

    Does your church do weekly altar calls? What is the purpose? Do people just go up for Salvation? Do they offer it to those who are Saved and need to get right with the Lord again? How about those who are struggling internally and need extra prayer? Just curious.

    American Baptist Churches USA

    Well I will say that the Free Will Baptist church I belong to is about as conservative as I've seen anywhere! I have attended the two SBC churches in town... one is conservative (but not as conservative as my FWB) and the other is much more liberal. I have been to both conservative and liberal...
