    Should the president of the US be a christian?

    I believe that God should be at the center of everything, he made everything, he has all the answers, he made the rules. Having a leader that views the world using the Bible as a lens, putting God at the heart of his decisions would be perfect. If you do everything God's way could there be...

    Needing words of strength and encouragement

    First, I have the same small town job issues you do and your right they often do have someone in mind. On the other hand when my husband is hiring he often has such a hard time finding a dependable person that it's frustrating. Are you a new Christian? With day to day problems like this I...

    "Christian" Forums

    I've seen it before and I think there are a lot of reasons we see these mean spirited posts and personal attacks. I think sometimes some of us are a bit overly sensitive and since you can't hear a persons tone of voice in text it can be easy to misunderstand a persons meaning or take something...

    Prayer Request

    My daughter is going on a Mission Trip out of the country as a girls youth leader and for some reason I have been gripped with fear over it to the point that it's making me feel sick. I know I shouldn't feel this way... right? Please pray for her safety and the safety of the group and that they...

    what back ground is predominate

    I was exposed to a lot of denominations growing up from SDA to Catholic and a lot in between and even, sadly, the occult. I do not see any denominational leanings in my non-denom church and the teaching is Christ centered, straight from the word and in context, we get it all whether it makes...

    Been gone for a while...

    Thank you all for the welcome back. Homeschooling worked out really well for us, all 3 are doing great, dedicated to family and yet fiercely independent and more importantly dedicated to the Lord. Can't ask for more than that :-)

    How do you like to dress for church?

    I voted "Other" It really depends on what else is going on... If we're going on a picnic after church I'd dress more casual, but neat/clean. Sometimes I like to dress up, but I don't go too far in the dressy direction because I think new comers would feel more comfortable if others looked...

    Been gone for a while...

    I got so busy homeschooling my teenagers I haven't been here to CF for a while. Now they are pretty much finished and grown, I was so glad to see CF was still here and not too different, I've missed it :wave:

    Disciple Jesus "used to love?"

    The Disciple Jesus loved... I remember learning in a study that John liked to refer to himself as "The Disciple Jesus loved" and sometimes in a funny way when speaking to/about Peter. Peter being the rock, oldest of the group, big brother type and John being the youngest, little brother type...

    Disciple Jesus "used to love?"

    KJV says: Jhn 19:25 ¶Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. Wait.... editing, at first I thought they were saying Mary's sister was the wife of...

    Modest Apparel

    I see what your saying and the fact that we are as believers always with God is one thing I stressed with my kids about being modest because your right, He is always with us :thumbsup: But you kind of lost me on the comparison between dressing modestly while out in the public and sex in the...

    Modest Apparel

    I know some of the swimsuits people wear are pretty shocking. I think that they should at the very least fully cover the private parts and the backside, but many don't even come close. I guess a good rule of thumb for the Christian might be... Would you be comfortable wearing it if you were...

    How Pro-Life Are You

    I agree with the OP, but then I wonder even if moms life is threatened... the word "threatened" is so vague. If it were up to me I might rephrase that to say "only if the death of the mother is eminent." God has no shortage and miracles for all sorts of situations especially when we place our...

    Does God love everyone?

    No, I do not believe God loves everyone, the Bible says he hated Esau. I think that since God can see the beginning from the end He knows who will never, ever accept Him, who will always embrace evil and who has no desire to ever know God and will never turn to Him. In that instance it makes...

    Conception of Hell

    I believe it is all those things, exactly what is described in the Bible as well as the things you stated many of which are also referred to in the Bible. I don't think it would be possible to really explain the entire reality of hell in just a few words. In fact I think if God were to give us...

    Homosexuality

    Thank you for the kind words and great information here from you as well. There are so many sins and so many way people try to justify them, but reading meanings into the Bible that aren't there just doesn't work, it eventually fails. God has written His word so perfectly that in context there...

    Homosexuality

    I think SoundCard has made a great point here. No matter what your sin is it is initially hard to face the fact that God KNOWS what sin is and He's laid it all out for us in His Word. We may not like it, it may make us angry because sin often feels good or feels so completely natural, it's in...

    A few friends of mine have troublesome qustions.

    Wow, OK, just my initial impression, these guys are like .. picking nits. Looking at the smallest portions of a much bigger problem as if each one of the smaller issues is the cause. I'm also a bit confused about how they relate personal experience to understanding. Maybe I didn't understand...
