Hi, I was hoping someone here could help me. I would like to clarify my thinking on the evolution/creation debate. I understand the science of evolution well enough, and I know there are many Christians who believe in evolution. And they mustn't see any contradictions between it and their...

Hi Folks, I've been thinking for a while now that maybe I should find a new church. My current church is great, good Biblical teaching, the people are nice but I don't have many true friends there. So is that a good reason to seek elsewhere? I've tried making friends, been in and led Bible...

This question is for atheists and agnostics only. So, why?

Jesus calls us to love God with all our heart, all our soul, all our mind and all our strength. When I was converted, it was a very cerebral experience (if experience is the right word?). Afterwards, I knew God was real, knew Jesus lived, died for my sins and rose again. So I loved him with...

Pretty simple really. Just pray for whoever posted before you. No need to write it, just pray it. In your post, just say that you prayed. Then (optional) if you want to list things the next person can pray for you you can. Ok, since I'm first I'll pray for CF singles generally. Whoever's...

Ok I think this thread will be a lot less heated than the last one I made. :P So I just finished watching Saving God and I have to say its the best Christian film I've ever seen. It has an interesting storyline and the characters are realistic and actually believable, instead of...

Some words just sound really cool. Some people's names just sound really cool (like Jasper Jackson for example). So this thread is for you to add words and/or names that you think sound really cool for whatever reason. I'll start. A name that I stumbled upon in the Bible yesterday is...

OK, controversy time... Disclaimer: I just want to preface this by reminding everyone to remain civil and to realise that (even if we might want to) we're probably not going to change someone's theological position with a single post. So, my question is: what is everyone's stance on female...

YouTube - Steve Hughes - Offended I post this here because I think it's a good lesson for all of us (and its funny). Sometimes I get the feeling on this board that people feel the need to express that they're offended just for the sake of it; like they want to make sure people know what their...

Hi All, I'm currently considering enrolling at Bible College and have a question. I think I'm a fairly conservative Christian and believe the Bible is God's word. And so I believe only men should teach men in church. Only men should be pastors. I'm not really interested in debating that point...

I see lots of people's avatars and think "what the"? So please explain what your avatars mean. Why you like 'em. Etc. Sure some are pretty obvious but others just seem like a bunch of weird. Mine's pretty simple. Its a street light in China that I snapped when I was there on holidays.

This thread is inspired by noodlesx3's response to the all time favourite love songs thread. I didn't want to derail that thread so here we are. Post a song that you just think is a little bit wrong in some way (interpret as you wish). Here's my contribution: YouTube - Hello by Lionel...

If you could drive anything what would it be? (please post pictures)

Not really after a theological debate here. Just curious if you make an effort to rest one day per week? If so, what do you do?

Putting aside the fact that we're not going to agree on what specifically is/isn't a sin, do you struggle with sin? Is there anything about yourself that you think, say or do that you wish you didn't? Do you think these things harm you in nay way? Harm others? Feel free to be vague about the...

As Christians God has called each of us to follow Christ (see 1 Cor. 1:9 and others), but has God called you individually in a specific way? If so, how did he do it? How can you be sure it was him? What did/has he called you to do? How are you going with it? I thought I'd make this thread...

Amazing footage of a flood in Toowoomba (Australia) yesterday... YouTube - Toowoomba Flood 2011.01.10 Please pray for the 70 people who are still missing and the 8 people who were killed. Floods like this have been happening in Queensland for a few weeks but this is the worst so far.

After reading through the end of year reflect-y threads and thinking about my own last year I concluded that I've become more serious, more boring and more withdrawn than I was the year before. I've forgotten that life is for living. So, I need ideas. What works for you? What little things...

I mean sermon-wise? Whose sermons do you find helpful in your christian walk? For me I listen to Mark Driscoll, John Piper, Don Carson, Paul Washer and John Macarthur. So who else do you recommend?

Instead of focussing on what we got, I'm curious what gifts you all gave to people... or at least some highlights. So... what did you give? I gave my (4 year old) niece a Toy Story 3 DVD. And her reaction was priceless. It was like "well unwrapping that was more effort than it was worth!" But...
