Just wondering if anyone here has had an experience where they visited a church and were told they weren't wanted, either overtly or otherwise. It has happened to me and I'm not really sure why. Maybe it's because I am single. Some churches are so family-oriented that they are hostile toward...

What role, if any, do you think Christians will have during the millenium? Or will all the governing be done by Jews?

I have walked the face of the earth for nearly half a century now. There have been more than 2,000 years since Jesus lived and at least 6,000 years of recorded human history. We have witnessed wars and rumors of wars, political turmoil and kingdoms overthrown by one another, countless scores...

Going out? Staying home? Searching for a date? Any ideas?

Do you believe that God is actively involved in your day-to-day life? Or is your faith more an abstract set of facts, figures and beliefs about God?

From 1 Corinthians 13 1 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I...

Ok, so it seems lately everytime I turn around, someone I know is getting married (or has recently gotten married). Often its people I met as singles. I was friends but never really pressed for a deeper relationship. On one hand, I'm happy for them. On the other, I wonder about myself. As the...

Ok, so the day is Saturday. But I wanted to post a birthday shout-out to two of the nicest gals in this corner of cyberspace.... Keri and Beauty4Ashes.;) In the next year, may you both experience unparalled happiness and satisfaction in all areas of your life. I look forward to getting to...

I really want to go visit Australia. Realistically it might be next year. So was just wondering if anyone here has visited there or lives there.

Rats. Seems like anytime I get interested in someone, they either disappear or run screaming in the other direction.:doh: What's up with that?:confused:

As an individual. Why or why not? Do you feel God knows what is happening in your life, much less care? Something I've wondered lately. Much of the evidence is circumstantial, of course, and can be interpreted in different ways. Maybe our expectations are wrong. Maybe God is just out there...

Background: Over the past number of years, I have been on a journey of sort of learning to trust God with my future. Specifically, I gave God two very specific goals/requests/dreams that I wanted to see come to pass in my life and committed to trust God in these, not having the slightest idea of...

I hope this is the right place to post stuff like this. Somehow (not sure exactly) I have injured my lower back. Not sure how serious, but the pain is excruciating, whether i am sitting, standing, lying down, kneeling or any other position. I have used all the stuff i normally do: pain...

Something I heard at church today really made me think. It was about dealing with fear in our lives. Now, I have had some pretty yucky and horrible things happen through the years and I realize it's affected me more than I often want to admit. At times it seems like the whole world is against...

Have you ever experienced God speaking directly to you? If so, what form was it? An audible voice? A thought in your mind? Some other person? An angel? Please understand that I am referring to things OTHER than just reading directly out of the Bible, regardless of how meaningful that might...

I have no idea which forum in which to post this, but.... How can one tell if a person is demon-possessed or has an evil spirit in them? Is there anything one can do about it?

Do you have a strongly held opinion on a certain topic? Be it politics, gay marriage, abortion, global warming, war or anything else? Would you be likely to express your opinion in a setting where you suspected the majority of people hold a different view? Or would you try to go with the flow...

OK, so I am sitting at my computer, typing an email around 2:30 a.m. when, from seemingly out of nowhere, I hear six gun shots in rapid fire succession. I never SAW anything because all the windows were closed with the blinds drawn. I live on the second floor and it sounded like the shots came...

Well, we only have like 100 swine flu threads on CF, so here's another one: OK, so is the crisis that David Wilkerson predicted last month? Is it what Joe Biden warned of during the presidential election? Is it a cover to round us up and quarantine us in FEMA camps? It is a sign of the...

Aaargh!! I hate this!! I'm dead tired, but can't fall asleep. I've tried drugs and some beverages, to no avail. Anyone else have something that works for them? Insomniacs Anonymous!:P
