Hi, it’s been a long time since I posted on here- life and family get in the way a bit! Anyway, we’ve recently relocated to Northern Ireland and have been trying to find a new spiritual home. I’m trying not to let the perfect become the enemy of the good, but it’s getting me down that there...

Father, You are holy above all things and worthy to be praised. You created the universe, vast beyond our comprehension, yet care about each one of us individually and know our every detail. I thank you for the young people going on the weekend away, Lord. I thank you for the opportunity to...

Well, I was wandering around town this evening and had a strange desire to go and sit in on a Mass. I didn't make it on time today, but was thinking of making a point of going tomorrow evening. However, I've never darkened the door of a chapel in my life, so I'm not sure if you can just turn...

I was recently contemplating getting a wooden cross neckace to wear as a personal reminder of my faith, but the only place I could find one for sale in town was Topman (a trendy fashion store). The local bible shop and standard jewellers only had metal jewellery. I decided to leave it for the...

Dear all, I am giving some serious consideration to emigrating from the UK in the next few years and Canada, from what I've gathered, is in pole position. Your country seems beautiful, but it's so vast I'm not entirely sure where to start, so I'd appreciate it if you could give me some...

Hey everyone, how's it going? Now, this is probably jumping the gun a bit, considering I've only been in a relationship with this girl for around 4 months now, but I'm pretty convinced she's the love of my life, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to do some forward planning. We've expressed our...

Having been invited to a youth ministry fellowship meal on Sunday, I offered to bring something along and got asked to bring a salad. The thing is, though, I'm just not a salad fan, and I'd like to make sure there's something I'll eat at the meal. Can someone recommend a 'salad' recipe for...

Something I've been made increasingly aware of recently is the general trend of people to marry someone of a similar level of education. My mother is very keen that I find someone on my course to get hitched to, for instance, and anecdotal evidence from the married folk I know tends to back it...

Not that there's anything wrong with being single, of course ;) Well, this seems incredibly lame, but having drunk a load of pepsi this evening, I'm not exactly in the mood for bed yet, so I figured it wouldn't do any harm to get a few opinions from the great and the good on this board...

Now, this is somewhat tongue in cheek, but I thought I'd share a little experience I had the other day that sort of knocked me for six... I had gone to see Transformers the other day, and, being a guy, not to mention a bit of a geek, I really enjoyed it. When I got home, I thought I'd check...

Hey all, I know I'm not a regular face around here, but I'd appreciate prayer right now. I'm in the penultimate year of med school, and have been having a number of problems regarding a project that we have to do as part of the course. It's approaching the deadline and there's no way I can...

Hey everyone, hope you're well. I'm a bit torn up inside, and have regurgitated my feelings onto this page for your perusal. I suppose it just feels good to be airing my thoughts after keeping them inside for so long. I've been in a relationship with a girl for 2 1/2 years now. We get on...

Hi, in speaking with my flatmates, I realised I don't know the calvinist point of view on original sin. Do calvinists believe that we are born sinful, that we are tainted by Adam's sin in Eden, or is sin something that we bring upon ourselves as we live our lives? I would lean towards the...

Noticed one of their albums on sale in my local Christian bookstore and was wondering if anyone would recommend them. If you could say why they're great or otherwise I'd appreciate it before I go spend more money I don't have!

Hey guys, how's it going? I've just finished my Officer training for the Boys' Brigade (basically a christian scouts) and am all psyked about getting back to my company and try to win the lads there for the Lord. I'll be mainly working with the 11-18 age group. At present we've around 15...

Whilst out enjoying the sunshine today, I noticed that the RC church near my halls is of the Society of St Pius X. I've walked past this place practically every day since October, but it only clicked today for some reason. I was wondering if you could give me some information and opinions on...
