What are Youth Ministers? Do you get them only in certain denomination? How does one train to be involved? I ask only because I have had an issue in my head that won't let me alone lately.....a thought of working with youth concerning the faith....I have no idea how or why, only that this...

I read in the Old Testament that people should never work on the sabbath.....that it offends the Lord....there is even one part that states that if you work the sabbath, you would be thrown out of the community... My job in a hospital requires working on sundays...what could I do? For some...

Shocked BY the old testament... I know this might sound silly, because as a christian, you'd think I'd be aware of much of what the Bible contains... However, there was a lot of the Old Testament that I hadn't read before, and I decided to start reading it from front to back.... What I...

Hi, I've read and heard a little bit about a group or organisation caled THE JESUS ARMY. I was wondering if anyone here could tell me honestly what this group is like? what are they about? do they belong to a pecific denomination? Thanks Fiona x

This may sound like a weird discussion but I would like to know some of your opinions. Some of you may remember me on this forum...I posted quite a lot when I first became a Christian as I had so many questions! I became a Christian about 10 months ago. Things are going good. My question to...

I have a question that I am kind of nervous about asking, because I don't want to give the impression that I am not trusting the bible or the Christian church etc. I believe that the Lord Jesus died as a "payment" for my sin. I believe it, and yet when I read through the gospel, I can't see...

This might sound silly, but to me it's a real fear. I became a Christian about eight months ago. Its been amazing, the effect its had on my life. I've seen prayers answered and I've felt close to God etc. The issue is, when I became a Christian, I had LOTS of time off work, and I threw myself...

I started a new job this week on a psychiatric ward. I can't go into much detail (patient/nurse confidentiality!) but one young patient has been really troubling me. Do you think it's okay to pray for someone when you don't know them well and when you don't know their entire situation? Do...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone here has ever felt that they have heard the voice of God? I have read somewhere before that a few lucky Christians hear God's voice audibly. Is this true? Has anyone had an experieince of this? The reason I ask is that the other day, (I will probably sound...

I don't think that everytime something goes wrong that we can blame the devil. Sometimes things just simply go wrong - and sometimes things are out of our hands...But sometimes I DO blame the enemy. Some of you may know my story - I became a christian about 8 months ago and it has completely...

Please help me. I was recently told I would go to hell, as there is "no salvation outside the catholic church." I can't stop worrying. Please tell me it's wrong...I love Christ with all my heart and am an Evangelical Christian....

I married five years ago - way before I became a Christian. Now, I'm not here to say anything bad about my husband, by the way! I love him dearly, am happy about our five years of marriage, and he treats me perfectly. The only reason I am writing this thread is to get other people's opinions...

Hi, I have a question about living the Christian life. I became a Christian about 7 months ago, and so far, I've felt the Lord transform my life. Everything is not magic - I have some issues - but I've felt the touch of the Lord's hand in my life, and I'm so much happier and content now...

Hi, I became a Christian a few months ago, and it has made my life wonderful. Jesus has already made some changes in me as a person and I feel so positive. My husband is not a christian (although he is always receptive to learning about God and I think he might one day) but yesterday something...

The other night I went to a concert in London to see an artist I really like. The artist was wonderful and a great performer - but he wasn't the problem! The support act was. This band came on at the beginning and although they were okay at first, the lead singer said: "When I was a kid, I...

I became a Christian about six months ago and it had a profound influence on my life. I felt so fulfilled and committed and happy to embrace Jesus and live the Christian life -and things have been going so well until now! I did so well and avoiding things that tempt me, and doing things that...

Okay, you might think this is a very dumb and stupid question as I am a Christian and should know the response to questions like this....But please give me some time here.. I committed my life to Christ a few months ago and am enjoying being a Christian. The thing is, my husband is NOT a...

I have so many things to thank the Lord for, but something has happened lately which is just amazing for me..... A few months ago, I found out that I had been made redundant at my job. I had until the end of April to find a new job or I'd find myself in an awful situation of not being able to...

This thread may sound very weird to some of you and I hope that I will not come across as strange.... I only converted to Christianity a few months back, and therefore church is new to me. I am visiting a church local to me - I will not name it though. Yesterday I was at this local church and...

I am wondering how we should pray...I know Jesus taught us how to pray, but what I mean is WHO are we addressing in prayer? Should we pray to Christ Himself, or to God? I know this question might seem silly but sometimes I say in my mind "Dear God," and then sometimes I say, "Dear Jesus," and...
