    Seeking a Mentor

    I think people take the name Reformed too seriously. I just made my username that last year to say I had changed. But thanks for pointing out where the chaplains are. I need to check it out.

    Seeking a Mentor

    I keep having to explain myself about my church and that actually gets to me a little because im SO tired of the ridicule that baptists face. My church is amazing, its caring, and kind, and truly connects with its visitors and members. Just because i cant talk to someone there all the time does...

    Seeking a Mentor

    It probably is but our church is just very busy. I would rather talk to someone ongoing not just a one time thing. You can message me if you want, thanks.

    Seeking a Mentor

    Nope. I have already had counsel twice from my Pastor and he is very busy. I talk to a few people that are friends but our church is kind of distant at least in the people that attend. People are busy with there lives and dont have time to mentor anyone. I cant think of anyone that can..

    Seeking a Mentor

    I am seeking a mentor or more than one for Godly counsel through email mostly. I continue to struggle with huge questions and live a miserable christian life more often than not. I try to be in His joy but its rare. Are there people at all that can think as deep as me? That can answer outrageous...

    Help for when you don't want to be prideful

    J.Dwight Pentecost. That story came from me, not the book. The book talked about Satan mostly.

    Help for when you don't want to be prideful

    I read this amazing book "Your Advisery the Devil" and in one part it told the story of Lucifer. I had never read this or heard this part before but he had gemstones Jasper, and so forth on him and got so full of himself from the light that shone on them, he thought it was coming from Him, but...

    Joel Osteen: Man of God or Man of the People?

    It is sad to me when people support Joel and Joyce Meyer. They are the false prophets the bible spoke of that would rise up and fool even the very elite.

    What to Do When The Bible Harms your Faith Rather Than Builds It?

    When you reach salvation and accept Christ as your savior, the Holy Spirit comes to live with you and opens your eyes on reading the bible with more illumination. You will see a passage one day that you wont see the next, and your understanding of it grows. When you read it as an outsider...

    How to have a good relationship with God when you have a distorted view?

    Thank you again, yes I dont need to measure my growth by others. It is about a relationship with God that is the most important part of it all to me and I think that is one thing we can all agree on.

    How do I know if I received a message from God?

    I see your point, but sometimes peace is an indicator because of the Holy Spirit's peace but you do have to walk in spirit and be in spirit..

    Struggling to become closer to god

    I dont know if you are still taking advice on this but do you have a Reformers Unanimous in your town? Find out if you do and go to it. They deal with addictions and strongholds. You also need to get people to pray for you if you have schizophrenia i dont believe in psychology, I think you are...

    How do I know if I received a message from God?

    From my experience circumstances can speak to you from God, and so can insights and flashes, memory is a big one also. The Holy Spirit brings up things and gets you thinking. I will pray for you. I have battled depression recently and its total warfare even though it does not seem like it. It...

    How to have a good relationship with God when you have a distorted view?

    Thanks for your reply Mike. The problem I have is I have a deep mind, it has nothing to do with my church, and more to do with what I read. My mother sadly has nothing but Charles stanley books and he is extremely straightfoward and it just helps to read more than one person sometimes instead of...

    How to have a good relationship with God when you have a distorted view?

    I have read it, and read it. My mind is numb. I know Jesus was a good man. But isnt God the Father a little different? He was the same Father in the old testament that had people in Numbers crawl after a pole with snakes on it, destroyed nations, and will come back with great wrath. I guess I...

    How to have a good relationship with God when you have a distorted view?

    Yes I go to an Independent Baptist Church. I know they are made fun of a lot, but he does talk of God's love a lot. He does talk about blessings, and how to live a good life and so forth but they dont sugar coat anything. And yes they can inspire fear, its not perfect but im not a charismatic so...

    How to have a good relationship with God when you have a distorted view?

    Number One, I have read the Gospels. I have read the entire New Testament and read the small books several times. i have even read 1 John about five or six times. I do not hate Jesus or I cannot be saved. What I was saying was on a deeper level, how is it possible to feel love for a God that...
