    Great Memoirs by evangelical Christians

    Hi, I am writing a memoir about living with mental illness, and I would like to see an example of great memoir writing from a Christian perspective. It doesn't even have to be by a Christian. I want to read a book where I can feel the interior struggle and guttiness of what the person went...

    Adultery in the heart and resolution with our body parts

    Jesus said, “You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is...

    Woman "becomes" lesbian, but would be "heartbroken" if husband found someone else

    This sounds like the wicked, selfish American woman to a T. They pursue what they want at your expense, but you're a bad person for pursuing what you want, even if it doesn't hurt them. Vindictive statement, yes, but to see what I see in a major American city, you'd truly say that truth is...

    Internet's impact on walk with Jesus

    I thought it might be helpful to someone else. I'm not sure why there are always people like yourself who feel the need to shoot something down that could help someone else. Maybe you should try to be helpful to someone else. By the way sir, the Internet is not equivalent to the telephone...

    Internet's impact on walk with Jesus

    I would be interested in an ad free experience. I think you can also get this on YouTube, but I feel creepy about giving Google money. Then again, they already get money by me clicking on their website. I would be willing to pay to have a cleaner experience online, especially at CF.

    Internet's impact on walk with Jesus

    I've noticed the World Wide Web has had an increasingly negative impact on my walk with the Lord. It's provided a lot of avenues for temptation and discouragement, as well as the news' ability to provoke rage and finger pointing. I just want to share for those this resonates with, that it might...

    Suggestions for Classic movies

    I would second "Ben Hur" with Charlton Heston. My favorite movie ever, finally watched it last year. It's not black and white. As far as black and white, many good ones, however, I like, "The Bishop's Wife" and for TV, "Andy Griffith Show" is good. Lately it's been very hard to find modern...

    Are we seeing the end of the (dis) United States?

    Thanks for this perspective. I'm 35 and not old enough to remember the Vietnam protests or prior race riots. I am concerned about the South rising again. I think to suppress them a second time is not good. Robert E. Lee's surrender was the first thing that many of them are still upset over, even...

    Distinguishing your spiritual feelings from reality

    I have struggled with this, mostly unsuccessfully, for over 10 years. I would say that the scriptures should be the standard of your thinking, not your own conjectures. Too often, I have based my reality on my own thoughts or observations. Turning my orientation of reality onto the Word of God...

    Am I telepathic?

    First of all, ignore the comments about being demon possessed. While it could be the case, most mental problems like the ones you describe are precisely that: mental. I am familiar with delusions. While my psychiatrist totally denies that he's ever seen anything in me that would indicate to...

    Is it just me, or are people checked out?

    I might be one of those people that checks out and just takes my car out to the wilderness to be refreshed by a book and nature. Life is just so precious. To think that I'm going to go into eternity having wasted tens of thousands of hours on technology is just a thought I can't bear. And yet I...

    Is it just me, or are people checked out?

    I have a question. I am making an observation that seems so real to me, but I have a history of misjudging things because I am sensitive. It seems like the vast majority of people, whether Christians or not, are totally checked out. They seem completely glued to their smartphones, and unable to...

    Joe Biden: voters do not have the right to know.....

    You seem to have some kind of animus against white people.

    What I saw in the grocery store....

    I was shamed by a young college age woman while riding a bicycle (outside) for not wearing a mask. Not as bad as this story of course, but yeah, leftist mask nazis are getting pretty bad.

    President Donald Trump tweets he and first lady Melania Trump test positive for Covid-19

    I honestly believe, under the right conditions, within a year you won't be able to say ANYTHING on the Internet that doesn't align with Left Wing Echo Chamber. It will be classified as "hate speech" and "conspiracy theories". It will be gaslighting to such an extreme.

    President Donald Trump tweets he and first lady Melania Trump test positive for Covid-19

    I wonder about wacky conspiracy theories that liberals promote, such as Joy Reid on MSNBC just alleging that the President faked his COVID diagnosis.

    President Donald Trump tweets he and first lady Melania Trump test positive for Covid-19

    Any posts should be allowed to stand if they are made in good faith and testify to the truth. After all, this is "Christian forums" not atheist forums. Christ said that He came into the world to bear witness to the truth, and that everyone who was of the truth would hear His words. So anything...

    President Donald Trump tweets he and first lady Melania Trump test positive for Covid-19

    We don't have evidence yet, except for what a few whistleblowers from China familiar with science are saying. But, we didn't have evidence that the Obama administration was working to undermine the incoming Trump administration while it was happening in 2016. Now we do. And people are being...
