Update: The play went well, and everything was okay. Unfortunately, only one of my parents came because the other had surgery. They thought the people were a little weird (not surprising, some of them are hand-raisers, haha!) and made a joke about how I was preaching (I wasn't, I was reciting...

I completely understand. I came from an irreligious background as well. I somewhat fear for my future relationships, but God'll work it out. :D Also, apparently we shouldn't be yoked unequally. Definitely a source of some tension on its own if you ask me. God bless!

Hi, You probably don't care about my opinion but I thought I'd offer another voice to the mix. I absolutely believe abortion is murder. I came to this conclusion based on two things: the point life begins, and the fact that aborting that "unique organism" would be killing it, and therefore a...

I tend to use a physical book with an appropriate design as a prayer journal. I love writing prayers and am able to express myself through it. I find it easier than spoken prayers at times. I've never thought about using apps for it or OneNote (I honestly don't know how to use it). I guess I...

{I have decided that I am not sure about youth ministry. I don't believe it is where God wants me at this point. Thank you for all the advice regarding this. It is still appreciated. ~Feb. 26, 2018} Hello, brothers and sisters, My church is in dire need of a youth ministry, and honestly has...

Haha, we love to have the Word out even though it's on the screen too. I think I'll be alright in that way, but who knows how they'll respond too? Thanks for your encouragement!

Nah, I'm in a pretty chill Baptist church in the middle of nowhere. We don't do any weird rituals or anything like that, but we do love hymns and good Bible studies. :P My family just isn't religious, and my mother walked away from churches due to bad experiences.

Thank you for the encouragement. I really appreciate it! You're right, what's the worst that can happen? :)

Now I'd really like to respond to both the OP and this reply by adding my own experience. I am not really sure if I have the gift of discernment or not, but I can tell you that ever since I started seeking God my ability to catch "vibes" off people seemed to translate into discerning of...

For me, there was a long process of going from doubt to belief, but the first moment that I can say I "saw" God was on a snowy day. I was lost in personal and spiritual darkness, and I can remember walking outside, looking around, and thinking, What am I missing [by not living for God*]? I...

I have read the SoP. I accept the guidelines. I appreciate the rules given on these forums. :D

...and I'm not sure how that is going to go. First thing you should know, my family is non-religious. Pretty much all of them. Everyone in my immediate family (mom, dad, brothers, sisters). I used to have to get rides to go to church in the past; I drive myself, go all by myself, and consider...

Sorry for the late reply, I sent you a message regarding this. ~Kayla

While I'm not highly knowledgeable in books and film (I assume you mean in the Christian context), I support your website. I'm actually about to major in film production, so depending on the time and opportunities you have, I might consider joining on-board. I can prepare a resume if you'd like...

Film/TV Production (similar to the poster above me). I'd love to make documentaries!

Hi, only being a tech school freshman, I've little experience with this kind of pressure. What I can say is that having friends or acquaintances who are very much looking for that kind of attention makes all the difference in how prevalent it seems. I have a friend that was invested in a bad...

Great googly moogly, that's what I was going for! Guess we had the same idea. XD:oldthumbsup:

If the devil wrote a bible, us Christians would at first outright reject it. Then, slowly but surely, its principles would begin to creep their way into our doctrines and churches. This, of course, would only happen because of outside pressure and the next generation being force-fed these ideas...

Well said!

I personally worry more about the non-Christian members of my family (all of my immediate members are not believers and my closest friends have walked away). I understand that I am a sinner and I have gone to the point where I can hardly ask for forgiveness of sins I tell Him I wouldn't repeat...
