Ten years ago today, I joined the forums. Now, just a moment or two ago, I went back to my original introduction thread with the intention of linking it here. Errrrr.... NO lol. It was, without a doubt, the most painful thing I have ever read. Suffice to say, I've travelled a million...

Listening to LGBT, BLM - and well, whatever else is out there, talking and protesting (I must admit, I'm losing track) I got to thinking. I don't know how it is for you, but in my world, whenever I tell someone that I'm a Christian I'm usually met with a wry smile and a raised eyebrow. They...

It hurts me to say it, but... This is actually a cracking interview. I'm a real guy - I don't have to like someone to respect the good that they have done. Now whether he's coming from a genuine place or not, do your best to extract the nuggets for what they are. (I woke up determined to have...

... I always knew that it was a powerful thing, this prayer bit . But today was a reminder of just HOW powerful prayer really is. On Thursday morning - as I lumbered across the seafront, I asked God for a few things: some silly (because why not?), some serious, one or two personal things, and a...

That's exactly how I would describe my faith at present. Though it's strong and very very consistent, it's buried under a kaleidoscope of philosophical self indulgence and rhetoric, with a burning desire to expand the mind to the point that I can comprehend fully the idea of 'infinity' and...

I've slept on this, and came to conclusion that through the medium of excessive glib, animated gifs, one liners and colour by numbers, Boris said two thirds of absolutely nothing. Over-complication and miscommunication is just going to open the doors up to flouting and complacency if you ask...

Thought loops, kaleidoscopic tangents and (my) general weirdness, goes here. If there are any thoughts, (any at all) that you'd like to vomit, please, allow me *cordial bow*

Regardless of his lunkhead-sodden antics of days gone by, Boris quite literally evolved into a new breed of animal when this crisis hit - and dare I say, I think he's been our best PM since Churchill. It's devastating enough to hear the news of ANYONE being admitted to intensive care over this...

And with Easter coming up, it's time we changed that VERY quickly. This is Christian Forums. Not "Talk About an Old Fat Bloke to the Point of Exhaustion Forums". No man - no matter what state the world is in, is more important than God. I'd love it if from Good Friday "his" name wasn't...

I'm not talking about the high standards an individual sets for themselves - I'm on about those sanctimonious people that only ever seem to become Christian just so that they can talk down to people and use >>guys like me and you<< as a stepping stone to ascend their egos. I don't like any of...

Thought this'd be a fun topic - let's create a scrapbook of advice from everyone here so that we can have a 'one stop shop' so to speak for both purpose and amusement. Obviously, I'll start: - Have a purpose in life. A goal or an ambition that's bigger than yourself (in other words, something...

Nothing generates more tantalising conversation/reading, than people talking about their career choices, what got them interested in the first place and what keeps them in the industry today. For some, it's truly inexplicable. Like me. Being a dairy herdsman just felt natural, straight away...

Okay, I have an admission to make. My mother called me the other night, sounding very upset. I asked her what was up, and she said that I haven't spoken to her in over four months. (And another three to four months before that.) My reaction was cold and icey. To tell you the truth it doesn't...

Because the 'say something nice thread' isn't really doing it for me. Brits need banter, so let's press on. (I already know that me and Moe will be the only two posting in this, but whatever.)

So, this has been on my mind for a number of years now. I mean, I get it. Studying the nuances of various denominations and belief systems, etc, is, interesting. But how does it aid in our salvation or help us to better know God? Particularly when we all have such varying beleifs and opinions...

Just a thought. I know we have 20's 30's and mature singles forums, but some of us fall between the cracks a bit. We're either on the cusp of turning 30, aren't single and/or don't care about it, or don't like the frequently misunderstood realm of the Singles forum. Moreover, it seems that...

Think about it, if you were to split an atom, you're left with protons, neutrons and electrons. If you split those you're left with quarks. But after that it gets a bit fuzzy. Maybe quarks contain gas molecules? But even then, quarks must have a primary element besides matter. And if they did...

Partly boredom, partly intrigue, all answers are anonymous for (hopefully) genuine responses - so don't go fudging the poll. Santa is watching.

Hopefully we get a link to the verse here: Hebrews 11 Years ago, when I was still very much a 'closet' Christian, I would attend a young persons Christian group every week or so. And on one particular evening, the topic of Hebrews 11 came up. I never really appreciated the significance and...

In June (I haven't decided exactly when, but most likely mid to late) I'll be crossing the pond to New York to use up some annual leave. So, if anybody from the area (I know at least one or two of you are) wanted to meet up for a pint or something then drop me a PM and we'll exchange Email...
