OK this has completely digressed off of the subject. I give 10% back to the Lord regardless. What I was interested in is does giving back to the Lord only mean tithing at church or can it mean giving 8% to your church and 2% to a homeless shelter etc... I was just interested in peoples opinions...

Sin is in all of us. Only God can help us overcome it. Whether putting it on our heart to stop or helping us to stay on the right path, God is there to help. Being a Christian doesn't mean being perfect and never thinking a bad thought. It means being aware of our imperfections and seeking to...

Before I ask my question I want everyone to know that I am not looking for a right or wrong answer just interested in what people's thoughts are on this. Since I have been Christian I have been repeatedly told that God wants us to tithe 10% of our earnings. What I am curious about is does that...

I agree with Saucy. This is something that is really important and if you aren't on the same page now and you get married then it may become a big problem later. He may change, but he may not. Are you willing to get married to him if point blank tells you he is not going to change?

I met my soul mate on Match.com. We have been together for a little over a year and are engaged to be married this summer. I chatted with a few rather "interesting" individuals that I was able to weed out after a conversation or two about religion. I found that being totally and completely...

He made me laugh with his twisted sense of humor that mirrors my own.

He is a fantastic cook, a great listener and my best friend.

I have always kept an open dialogue with God throughout the day and have been known to pray or speak with him as much as 5 times during the day depending on when I feel moved. Sometimes giving thanks, sometimes seeking council, or sometimes just to pray for someone I know who is struggling. I am...

I understand where you are coming from. For me I spent a large part of my life just going through the motions of being a Christian. I went to church and I prayed, but never really put my heart into it. When my mom was diagnosed with bone cancer about 9 years ago I felt my world come crashing...

My church does communion once a month. I found this strange at first, as I grew up in an Episcopal family and service every week had communion, but I have grown to love and cherish those times when we do have communion. I do sometimes think that we got lost in the traditions and rituals at...

Psalms are old testament and prior to our salvation through Jesus Christ. Not that I am saying that we are to ignore the old testament because much of what is expected of us as Christians is spelled out there. However, we all sin and are "wicked" and sometimes vile and beligerent children of our...

The Bible is our instruction manual, love letter from God and source of inspiration and comfort. If you could only sum up what it means in one word what would you choose? My word is Love.

Interesting thoughts all! Thank you for sharing. I have always had a very close personal relationship with God and pray/converse with him very openly and freely regardless of where I attend service. I have never let the fact that we are a two denomination household stop me from participating or...

I would give my mom the biggest hug ever and tell her how much I have missed her. I would go to the top of a mountain to rest, camp there and sit next to camp fire while gazing at the stars.

When I was 10 years old. Me and a couple of friends were in a summer day camp program. The camp was actually closed since it was the weekend and we were hanging out swimming. Everyone was thirsty and no one had any change for the soda machines. So one person found out that the cabin where they...

Thank you. This is how I feel as well. We actually attend every week just not the same church every week. We divide our time between two different churches. One church is fine with it the other is not. We are a multi-denominational family with one spouse who was raised Penacostal/Assembly of God...

Question. Does loyalty to God directly relate to loyalty to your church? The reason why I ask is because my church has a way of making you feel like your being disloyal to God if you don't attend their church every week. My family is mult-idenominational and does not attend only one church every...
