Well, it may be open for discussion if Peter sinned. But I think it was pretty clear he had a change of heart when he had a vision from God in Acts about reaching out to the Gentiles. Also, the passage below is a verse were Paul is talking to Christians who had received the Spirit and were now...

Thanks Mydreams!

Well, Peter let down Jesus when he denied him 3 times and he spent a lot of time with him. The argument could be made that Peter did not have the Holy Spirit yet but Peter sinned again after the Pentecost. In Acts we find that Paul had to rebuke him for showing favoritism to Jews. So, even Peter...

I think the strangest place was the restroom. Someone saw my Bible and asked me if I was a Christian. I invited him to a bible study and he came and we are still in touch to this day. I was even his best man at his wedding!

Here is an update on the book and answer to prayer. An affordable housing organization has decided to purchase the book for all their managers and staff that work with volunteers in their California properties! I am also going to have a conversation with an organization that works with Sac State...

Hi Lilly, I'd love to hear if some of the responses people have shared have landed in a healing manner. Seems like people here are reaching out to you with empathy and compassion and want to give you hope - things that others at your church maybe didn't. I'd like to hear how you are doing now...

Thanks!

Thanks EzekielsWheels!

Thanks Richard! This prayer encouraged me this morning! :)

I just wrote a book about volunteering for leaders and people who work with volunteers. I believe that volunteers are essential for change to occur in the world and for the church to fulfill its mission. In the book I highlight principles that Jesus used in the chapter on Association. I wrote...

I see you wrote this yesterday and it seems like you are asking for prayer and maybe suggestions. "I pray that God helps you to truly understand that his love is unconditional and that all your sins are forgiven no matter what. That as you put your faith in Him you also put your faith in what he...

I wasn't thinking a blog. A place here in CF were anybody could share their struggles or day. And others would share empathy. For instance, someone might say, "I am having a hard time with my relationship. I am so worn out and feel like someone is taking advantage of me." Response might be...

An empathy forum to let others share without giving advice (unless they ask for it). It is a way for people to share what is on their heart and have their words reflected back for validation.

I like the steps you outline here. They are a good guide. I think in step four I would suggest for Christians to consider joining a small group at church. Jesus modeled this with the first small group of 12 disciples. A book that is one of my favorites is The Master Plan of Evangelism by Robert...

Thanks!

thanks!

I just recently published my new book Essentials for Cultivating Passionate Volunteers and Leaders. It took a while but it came out in October and is available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble online. It is amazing how all the people who mentored me and all my experiences I have had in ministry...

Hi Misty. I imagine that you may be feeling worn out and exasperated because you are needing respect, consideration and ease. You may also be needing some guidance and hope. I can imagine you being torn because you love your son and want to help him but you also don't want to enable his...

Welcome! I think it is great you are wanting to grow in your faith. Connecting with others who are like-minded can definitely provide a boost of support and at times wisdom. Wishing you many blessings as you seek God and to grow!

I am returning to Christian Forums after some years. My old account was under another email so started a new one. Glad to be back and look forward to connecting with many of you. Blessings to all!
