    Kindness v Goodness

    In Galatians 5:22-23, Paul lists the famous "Fruits of The Spirit". Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control are straight forward concepts that even children can easily understand, yet there is deep personal meaning and blessings found in...

    What's the citation for that charge against him?

    Biblical affirmation of Jesus's divinity

    I was debating a JW the other day about Jesus's divinity, and was having trouble finding the words. Obviously, I firmly hold to the claim that Jesus is God, but couldn't defend that as well as I'd have liked to. Anyways, does anyone have a list (or a link to a list) of every time in the Bible...

    inappropriate content Should Be Banned

    I really hope it will be banned, but I'm highly doubtful. Far too many indulge in inappropriate content for enough action to be taken against it. But I agree wholeheartedly that it should be banned. I never really thought of this from a political standpoint, so thanks for sharing the video.

    Can this be fixed?

    I'm so sorry. I am not in any position to give advice except don't do anything you'll regret. I know you're past that, but I think a divorce would be a very bad call especially because you have children. But don't lose hope. Get right with God if you don't think you are, and get right with your...

    Books and Resources on Christian Dating

    How did you like, "The Mingling of Souls"? Also what about Piper's book? I like Chandler and Piper a lot, so those stood out to me. I didn't know Piper had a book on marriage. Most of his books are on joy.

    Books and Resources on Christian Dating

    Does anyone have any material I can read about dating in way that reflects Christ, and how to carefully navigate a romantic relationship? I'm a man, so books about dating women especially would be helpful. Any advice you can share personally is very welcome as well. Thanks! Matt

    Why are you a Christian?

    That's good to hear. Have you ever studied apologetics? Just since you say it's hard to express the spiritual aspects that lead you to faith, maybe you can check out philosophical, and scientific evidence for God. I have loads of resources to recommend.

    Why are you a Christian?

    The apostles saw Jesus with their own eyes. They touched him, and ate with him. They verified with their own senses that Jesus actually rose from the dead. How did you come to that conclusion without touching his scars like Thomas did?

    How did you come to the conclusion that Christianity was true?

    Why are you a Christian?

    This question is quite straight forward. I just want to know how you came to put your faith in Christ. I get a lot of different answers to this question, and the answers I get usually fascinate me. It can be a one sentence answer, or as long as you want. I'm just really interested in hearing...

    The Problem With Christian Radio

    I like what you have to say. I don't have respect for a lot of church music leaders for that reason. Can I ask...about how much Christian music do you know? Because whereas I like a lot of the mainstream stuff, I listen to plenty of songs (maybe like 70 songs), that are hardly known, and most of...

    Christian Book Suggestions

    Thanks! I forgot about Josephus and Augustine. I'd like to study them. Do you know where to get good resources about what they did? Either their own works, or good biographies, or commentaries on what they wrote. I don't know too much about them, so I don't know what to read specifically. Also...

    The Problem With Christian Radio

    I really like what you say about there being two categories, CCM and P&W. I completely agree with that, and have actually been saying that lately. And of course, I understand that it comes down to preference a lot, but there is a reason that CCM is on the decline like you say. How is it ironic...

    Christian Book Suggestions

    For the first time recently I've been starting to read Christian books, specifically books for growth, theology, and apologetics. If you have a good recommendation, I'd love to hear it. More importantly, however, does anyone know of a good website that has good reviews for Christian books, that...

    The Problem With Christian Radio

    I love modern Christian music. I want that to be clear. I have literally hundreds of awesome Christian song, new and old alike downloaded into my phone. But Christian radio stations seem to only play the worst garbage available. My local Christian music radio station is called Joy FM, and it...
