    Any conservative to moderate Christian churches in Boise, Idaho area

    Hi. We are looking to possibly move out west and might be interested in the Boise Idaho area. I would like to find a church that is not too liberal and does not lean towards homosexuality as being ok. I am looking for a church that is neither Pentecostal or charismatic at all. I hope this...

    How does one finally decide what they believe?

    First I just want to say I will respond to my other post's replies after I am able to. I feel this is separate but ties into everything. I was raised Catholic, went to an Assembly of God church for a short while, studied at a Christian university associated with the Church of Christ, went to a...

    Christian Responses to Grief -they're not helpful

    Deep questions regarding my walk with Christ and about salvation

    Ark100 thank you for your words of comfort and advise. How does one take such thoughts captive? I will keep pressing on. Trusting in God enough seems to be my biggest obstacle. I will definitely keep praying and spending time with Him. God bless you.

    Deep questions regarding my walk with Christ and about salvation

    Eloy, I so want only good thoughts to fill my mind. I have been in prayer about this. I have to remember God does things in his own time.

    Deep questions regarding my walk with Christ and about salvation

    Chris...I agree with you on this. My pastor had talked about oppression and if that is the case (I don't believe a Christian can be possessed but can be oppressed by evil) then I need to pray for more strength and help with faith. Thank you for your help and God bless.

    Hi Prestige! The earliest Christians were willing to lose their lives on earth to gain eternal life with The Lord. Why would those who had first hand experiences knowing Jesus and his disciples willingly die for nothing? They saw him resurrected from the dead. God himself suffered for us so we...

    Ace...maybe there is hope for me yet. Than you so much for being candid about your experience. It does give me a different outlook for sure.
