Ooh, never thought about the multiple services before, that's true. But then on the contrary without multiple services there are some people who just simply won't be able to attend entirely (work at that time, small children don't always work on our schedules, etc) and I think it's better to...

There's a specific need for small groups though in a lot of cases. For instance, most of my churches small groups are simply focused on high school and middle school. Like for some 12 year olds, you're not really fully understanding the services that go on in the main church service but you are...

Exactly! I didn't want to come off rude about small churches either but where I grew up, my parents did not attend church because people were very snobby and judgemental right away if they didn't like something you did, but that is just what they experienced and why I wasn't raised in church...

I go to a big church. They call it a 'mega church'. I absolutely LOVE it, there's a reason that it's grown so big. I find a lot of smaller churches can go off the gospel a bit and sometimes people feel judged when they have a bad past that the town knows about (this is NOT all small churches...

If that's what they want to do then don't worry about it, but don't feel bad because you don't think you're doing 'enough'! I don't dance. I don't 'jam' to music. I'll tap my foot or whatever but I'm a girl who just can't dance! and it would distract me so I don't do that and you don't have to...

Unless the father is deemed a very bad influence or abusive or not to be trusted with the child, he has a right to see him. I don't mean for this to sound rude.... But this is just as much of her mistake as it is his. A mistake happened, and there is a (beautiful blessing) byproduct of that...

In marriage, God speaks about how the man is supposed to be the head spiritual leader of the family, how could he do that if he doesn't trust and follow God? I'm not saying break it off with him tomorrow, I'm just saying to remember that God comes before love with anybody else. Maybe try to...

No. I help teach Kindergarten Sunday School and I am the assistant teacher, and the teacher I work with is just the Teacher. There is a kid's pastor for the building, however, but he is the principal of the school they run and is just a children's pastor in general. However, we also have...

Look into Amazon Mechanical Turk. It's not a ton of money (I make between 70/week and 100/week, but I see people who make more who work harder). It looks awful at first (because the front page is just penny stuff) but if you check out mturk forum you might be able to see if it's right for you...

There are many Christians who treat gays as something appalling simply because it's 'against God's will'. This really bothers me because we are all sinners and are in no place to judge. I've seen so many Christians bashing gay people and not realizing they're supposed to be loving everyone and...

Also getting them started on maybe a little kid's bible story show and involved in kid's ministry (if they're not) is a great way to get some of their questions answered better than we can sometimes! http://secure.rethinkgroup.org/store4/home.php?cat=362 these are kind of expensive as they are...

I thank you for posting that. All in all, I see it this way.... In fact, as you posted, "God did it right the first time". I feel my baptism is completely valid, I have fufilled this commandment and I do rejoice in the fact that I was baptized as a baby. That seems special to me, knowing Christ...

Well I plan on staying at this church for sure. I absolutely love it and I guess in the first post it's a bit misleading, he didn't straight up say it was wrong but he definitely said it's not something he practices (he basically pointed out that about 80% of people in our church were baptized...

Just a small question. My church recently had a service about baptism. I usually agree with all my churches teachings and have absolutely nothing but positive things to say about our pastor. This week, though, I felt he was being a little rude towards baptism. He basically said if you are...

I told you this before and I'll tell you again, I really suggest you check out this blog. It is from a pastor's wife who survived suicide and her whole testimony is about how she goes on to live for Jesus now. Wondherful! |

I don't have a specific view on evolution, I believe God created everything of course and I believe in what the Bible says but I also know the Bible says to God a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like a day. So I feel that it's quite possible he took longer than written down...

I'm not sure we understand that verse in full, because Jesus says in order to be saved all we must do is believe. He doesn't say, "believe and never struggle" "believe and never once doubt" "believe and never once sin again". He says believe, and you will receive. We did absolutely no work for...

If it makes you feel better I think I might have similar problems. Some days I feel extremely close to God and am so happy to pray, read, do good deeds, etc. Other days I feel like I'm just going through the motions, not close at all and those days I can't figure out how in the world to get...

I just want to throw something in here that I heard I think at one of my church meetings recently - they said something along the lines of.. "The reason the Bible is called God's word is because that is where we hear God the most. You cannot always expect an answer from God if you're not willing...
