After some prayer tonight and meditation I kept repeating Psalm 23 and then began to consider what it actually means. Here's what I came up with - please feel free to contradict and comment. Psalm 23 The Lord is my shepard. I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He...

Hi! I'm just going to share a little story and you can maybe help me out or not (or pray). I've been a Christian for 3 years now, I've really come to know God and I want to love Him more and the world, and everyone, I really want to be Christian, because that's actually the way I want to live...

Anyone read the Irresistable Revolution by Claibourne? And what were your thoughts?

Hi! So I'm back yes, but I doubt I will be on as much as before. Anyway been dealing with sorta a quarter-life crisis/ existential depression/ depression/ nervous breakdown. However you want to call it. I've seen a psychologist for a bit but I don't find it very helpful other then talk to...

Sarah Palin getting interviewed... http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=73Yx-RhHb4g&feature=related Comments?

Well are we? Personally I feel it's unlikely we will get to a depression because it would be a slight against the capitalist system we all worship. I'm a bit surprised the US government did not bail out their banks... This could get bad for every around the world. Comments?

I’ve had a rough couple of weeks and a word that’s been popping around in my head is providence. To be truthful I didn’t even really know what it meant, but nevertheless it had been popping around my head. In the Merriam-Webster dictionary the definition is given is “divine guidance or care”...

Hi, Two of my friends are getting engaged...need to think of a suitable engagement party present... Never been to one of these before... Help me wise forum! :idea:

*Warning Very Long Post* From my blog http://salvationjourney.blogspot.com/ I was at the shops the other day and my friend who is far more scientific than I am informed me that all that the Coles brand "paracetamol" and "Panadol" were vastly similar products as they are required to be by law...

Hi I'm currently conducting a personal study on the Sermon on the mount. The very last verse of chapter 5 is troubling me. What does it mean by "Be perfect as your father in heaven is perfect."

No this is not another Hillsong bashing thread...at least I hope it doesn't turn out that way. Donna Crouch came and spoke at the Salvos Conference in Brissy, and it was all very good an biblical. All through it I could not turn off the cynical part of me that wanted to trash it, but it was...

We just had the most amazing church weekend away.... There's just this feeling among several churches in Brisbane that revival is around the corner.... May God's will be done.

Hi, I've only experienced this at more charismatic events, which probably shouldn't surprise me. But has anyone been in a service which has touched on the power of the Spirit, and after the sermon the preacher looks at you - like directly at you and there's sort of a quizzical look on their...

I've read on this board arguments for an against capitalism, democracy, etc etc. I've been struggling really hard to find where Christians should base their political basis on. I believe I've found the party which my allegiances lie. I am a Monarchist. I believe Jesus is king. What system...

I mean this pretty shapes your world view. How should resources be allocated, who gets what, where, etc. I mean thats all politics is really right? I've found out which party I belong to and I'm going to stick with it forever. I am a Monarchist, I believe Jesus is king of the world. That...

Hello I'm a senior soldier in the Salvation Army, and I'm looking to further my theology. I'm wondering if you can help me by recommending resources, etc. I'm mainly looking for free resources, but anything exceptional good would I would consider purchasing/borrowing/begging for. We're not...

I'm reading Surprised by Hope by Tom Wright...it is soooooooooooo good. I can't speak highly of it enough, it doesn't matter if you're an atheist of a long-time Christian...read it. It has answered all my questions, problems that I had with Christianity which God was probably going to deal...

Does anyone know anything more about the proposed Islamic School in Camden and whether or not the council has rejected the proposal yet? The reaction doesn't surprise me, I don't think it will ever be accepted, unless they take this to court (which I suppose they could). I don't think they...

I thought about not posting this, but then I decided that possibly, it might hit close to the bone for some people, and even though it might make them angry, it might question something. I am not a Labor supporter. I am simply a follower of Jesus Christ, and I want to serve him all of my life...

If you weren't in your current denomination, what other denomination do you think you'd be and why? This is not an entirely serious thread either so just chill with your answers. If I wasn't a Salvo, I'd most probably be an Anglican cause I agree with there theology the most. Also I find...
