    Been backslidden for a while.

    I wasn't sure which thread to post this under, so it may need to be moved by a mod. Anyway, so I've been backslidden as the title says. I've gotten away from reading the Bible consistently, if at all at times. The fire that I once had to serve the Lord has grown cold; I've become more worldly...

    Twins born yesterday!

    God blessed my wife and I with twins, a boy and girl. The girl is Mae Alison and the boy is Silas Wesley. Both are in the NICU right now just because they were born a tad bit too early, but both are otherwise healthy and just need time to get a little bigger. They'll be out soon Lord willing...

    A Leave of Absence

    Hi friends, hope all of you are well and blessed in the Lord. I shall be taking a leave of absence from the forums for a while as I seek to make my heart more conformed to God's will. The time I spend on here I could devote to the spiritual disciplines, so I shall be doing that. If you could...

    Fasting: Thoughts and Questions

    Hello brothers and sisters, I wanted to start this thread on fasting. It is a discipline that is talked about much in scripture, but rarely one that is performed amongst modern Christians (at least in my experience); when reading about the effects and benefits in scripture, it is a reasonable...

    Would be thankful for prayers.

    So, to start off with, I haven't been as active on the site for the past month or so because the Lord blessed me with a new job that has been great for my wife and I. However, the job is very busy with long hours (I work as an EMT in Fort Worth), which I have no complaints about in terms of...

    Soul-winning and Soliciting

    I'm not posting this thread to ask people's opinions about whether or not they agree with door-to-door soul-winning, or the effectiveness of it; this is beside the point. So, if you are going to post a response which is against it, you can keep that comment to yourself please. What I am asking...

    Pray for Christina

    Tonight God in his mercy granted me the boldness to witness and share the gospel with a coworker of my wife while at her work. I had some time to be detailed in the explanations and was able to show her quite a bit of scripture. She seemed to receive it and believe it and said herself it makes...

    Orthodox Statement of Faith *EO Answers Only*

    Out of curiosity, I was wondering if there is a website or point of reference (other than the creeds) that give the statement of faith and doctrines that the Orthodox Church believes in and holds to? Also, if there is a resource that not only lists them, but also in depth explains them and gives...

    Septuagint vs. Masoretic?

    Hey guys, hope all of you are well. Just wanted to pose a question on here so that any who know about this subject could provide some insight to me, and the question I have in regards to the reliability (or accuracy) of the Septuagint text vs. the Masoretic text? What I have noticed is that...

    Poll: What Books of the Bible are Studied the Least?

    Which book do you feel like is the least studied, referenced, or thought about to you? This came to mind after I referenced Philemon (first time I've ever used Philemon to support a belief by the way). I could only post a limited amount of books, which are the ones I think are either very...

    What defines a Trinitarian?

    I'm posing this question merely for the sake of conversation, and am not desiring to proclaim my views one way or another against another on this subject, seeing as how the nature of God (according to the scriptures) can often times be interpreted differently. So, my question is: what defines a...

    Quick Guide to Soul-winning

    Hey, what do you guys think of this? I made this to both help remind me and create a simple method to evangelism for those that don't know how to do it, or haven't done it before. I've used this method before and it's worked, but I've never tried giving them the two warnings before, but I'm...

    Pray for new ministry.

    Hello fellow heirs, I greatly request prayers for a new ministry I'm trying to start at my church; it's a new outreach ministry to spread the gospel to the many smaller towns that surround my town (towns which have churches, but have no one to preach them the gospel because those churches don't...

    About Writing Your Own Psalms

    Guys, a question. Is it bad or otherwise foolish to try and write your own psalms in order to glorify the Lord? Secondly, is it strange to other Christians to read psalms written by other Christians (other than the Bible)? Like, if someone posted his psalms here on this website, would that be...

    Asking for prayer.

    Hey guys, I know that perhaps not many are fans of me around here but I do have a prayer request that I'd like to ask. Actually, two things: 1.) There's a fellow at my work who has been a long time atheist, but has recently returned to work after a two week hiatus due to some illnesses (he's an...

    Easter or Passover?

    So this year I wanted to celebrate Passover with my family instead of Easter and have the holiday actually commemorate and praise the burial and resurrection of Christ as the Passover lamb, instead of doing the weird egg and rabbit thing I've done my entire life. Does anybody have any experience...
