I've recently decided that enough is enough and decided to get weight loss surgery. At my latest weigh in a few weeks ago I weighed almost 440 pounds and I'm not that tall of a person. I am huge and I'm sick of needing a cane everywhere I go and not being able to walk very far and I've pretty...

About a month ago I wrote a prayer request for a member of our congregation who was at deaths door with a kidney disorder. The surgery on her kidneys was successful and they found cancerous tumors in her kidneys I believe I'm not 100% certain on the news. Anyway a month passed without an update...

What are the basics to understanding exactly what John meant in his first letter to the Christians of his age? Are these points of John instantaneous upon regeneration and will ALL of them be a 100% requirement for salvation? In other words is 1 John a complete instant test and failing even one...

I'm not talking about blatantly obvious false teachers like Jim Olsteen or Bill Winston or Joyce Meyer ...etc. I'm talking about preachers who generally have a good reputation but unlike my examples above who only "preach" to lead people further and further away from Christ they instead by make...

Ever since my psychiatrist switched my meds around a few weeks ago ive been constantly attacked by the Devil to think and declare in my mind super unholy thoughts and declarations often times without even thinking about them.. Thoughts and sayings so terrible that im afraid to repeat them in...

I'm on my way to the ER again. This time for leg pain and shortness of breath that's pretty severe. Im terrified that it might be blood clots again. t could be a series of panic attacks but i want to be sure. I'll have my wife update everyone as we find out results. Right now my wife is napping...

In Romans 8:29-30 Paul says: 29 For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30 And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he...

A lot of Christians will say, "God in the Old Testament was harsh, but he showed mercy in the New Testament" . There are many verses in the Old Testament where God openly displayed his wrath and made his wrath clear. And, when Jesus came he was that very same God but yet in the New Testmant he...

I told my Elder the other day that I felt like giving up. Giving up on holiness, on my Christian walk, and on winning the race. I can't help it, I just can't. I can't help but feel like I'm not living the life that Jesus wants me to live. Of course, from a Calvinist position this is completely...

I was going to wait until we know for sure but I figured I'd ask for prayers on this. My wife and I have been trying to start a family since we got married back in 2015. So it's been nearly nine years of heartache and I never gave up but my wife did years ago. Well, she's about a month and 2...

https://juicyecumenism.com/2024/03/01/presbyterian-lgbtq-affirmation/ I do not affiliate myself with the PC(USA) in any way, shape, or form I am a member of the conservative PCA (The Presbyterian Church in America). However as a conservative Bible Believing Presbyterian, I find this news to be...

While the Revolutionary War WAS wrong and a sin it had to happen and it was part of God's perfect eternal plan. Why? Well for one, it happened and therefore it was part of God's plan. That's the simplest explanation but it goes deeper. We are taught in scripture that every position of power God...

It's frequently said by many Christians that "I don't need anything but the word of God" which, is a great proposition, because Sola Scriptura is a true and profound way to know the truth in the Protestant faith. However, one cannot have ONLY the word of God and get their theology ONLY from the...

https://people.com/woman-30-dies-after-blood-clot-symptoms-were-dismissed-8606693 I was going to post this in the News and Current events section but since the story i have is mostly about me and only contains a few comments about what happened to the woman in the news article i decided to post...

What in your opinion are the barebone minimum requirements for salvation? I will share mine and open mine for discussion although a vast majority of Christians here are probably going to agree with these 4 "requirements". 1. Belief in Christ's Death, Burial, & Resurrection. This virtually all...

I was told to make a topic here and request prayers over my friend who is experiencing a lot of hardship right now and I think that that's a good idea. For one, he struggles with depression and has attempted to harm himself on multiple occasions. He just recently got out of the Hospital after...

If God is not in control of everything, how can he make the promise of Eternal life? How can he go a step further than eternal life but also promise that sin itself will never happen again? Think about it, if humans had free will as it is understood today how is it that they can live forever if...

In the PCA denomination, to be a Pastor requires a master of divinity or higher. Ensuring smooth operation and prevention of common issues. Roles such as elders, deacons, and treasurers do not necessarily require to have a master's degree in Divinity or equivalent, The question posed is whether...

Reformed Theology is considered highly accurate because it interprets the Bible as a whole, from Genesis to Revelation, rather than focusing on individual verses. This comprehensive approach helps address complex questions about God's identity, actions, love, the number of people saved, and our...

What we know from scripture is that Nicodemus at the very least recognized Jesus as a prophet because he recognized that only God or someone sent by God could do the miracles and teach as he did. We know that he was open to listening to Jesus and we know that he was astonished and bewildered by...
