At my church weekly but at alternating services. On Sunday mornings there’s an early service and a late service. One has communion on the first, third, and fifth Sundays of the month, and the other on the second and fourth. Why do you ask?

Thank you for understanding technology that most of us can’t understand! If you’re feeling uneasy, maybe change is coming. Perhaps it will be… broadening your social circle, or a closer relationship with the Father throughout the day, or technology help done behind the scenes for a worthy...

If you are high (or drunk), you shouldn’t/can’t drive, plus your judgment is impaired. This means you have made yourself unavailable in an emergency to help a neighbor or your spouse or child or other relative. (Or a stranger who needs you.) Anyone’s broken foot, suicidal feelings, detached...

I’ve been reading this thread with interest and am sorry you’re in distress. A Christian relative went into a five-year depression when her remaining parent died. She had believed that because she prayed for healing, it would happen. Eventually she did recover from the shock of her parent...

The video is visible in the US. Professor Norris’s enthusiasm is catching. Thank you for posting.

Brains are different. Some people think in a higher percentage of pictures and some in a higher percentage of words. Some are more emotional, some more detached. Some people are autistic, or are synesthetes, or are tone deaf. Some have PTSD, or sleep issues, or no sense of direction. God and...

Very nice. Seriously one of the coolest sites I’ve seen. The chicken-egg theme or concept as an entry point to The Big Questions works great. The photos added to the text and the site experience, didn’t distract. I read several pages, clicked a lot of choices. I’m not your target “too smart”...

For practical application, I took some time to think of what are my basic needs now as a Christian, not retired but whose children have left the nest. Food, shelter, clothing Work and whatever items are necessary to do it A Bible—and perhaps access to a resource to clarify occasional questions...

I didn’t mean to say that trusting God and being okay with what He does or trusting “something larger” and being okay with its workings are common reactions to unfairness and pain, just that they do happen in a subset of people. I like that you didn’t just state a problem but also proposed a...

A thought. Even for people who don’t believe in a Christian God or a god at all, the world can seem (a) horribly unfair and untrustworthy OR (b) full of the beauty and mystery of natural processes (of which humans and unfairness are a part). Some people develop trust in something larger even...

The concept of the Trinity used to seem dry, impenetrable, and not applicable to my daily life. Then I discovered that relationships are the bottom line in life. And Christianity is about relationship. And the Trinity itself is an endless loving relationship. Since then, the Trinity has seemed...

Sorry you had a nightmare. I get nightmares easily. Turns out I’m more likely to get them if I go to bed on a full stomach or when depressed. So I consider them physical only, and without meaning. They do make you feel horrible on awakening so you might remember them for a long time. We...

Revelation 2:4–5 (NKJV) – Jesus speaking 4 Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love. 5 Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place—unless you repent...

Thank you for making this thread, for acting on what was put on your heart. Only a day or two ago I realized I needed to participate in something like this. Here we are. I am also here because of the real-life example of one Christian family. Paul writes of leading a peaceable, godly life and...

Thank you all so much for your prayers. He started having a new symptom this evening, chest pains, and drove himself to the emergency room. They found an abnormal heart speed variance on minor exertion, don’t know why yet, and he is waiting on more test results. I’m relieved he finally went...

Yes, I understand from experience about things being hard to forget. Haunting us, even. What I shared with you is something I’d never really taken to heart until just recently. Hope it helps a little.

God doesn’t even think about your old screw ups. They’re forgiven. You don’t need to dwell on them or keep revisiting them. They’re gone! You’re clean and pristine, spotless. Any new screw ups, you just ask forgiveness. You are so loved!

My middle name should have been Anxiety. Say it out loud. Has a nice ring to it, right? A classic name. Like a cross between Charity or Chastity and Antoinette. Regal, even. But I’m not quite the Queen of Anxiety I used to be. God is teaching this very slow learner how to trust. May the...

Please pray for my son in his late twenties. He is a fit person who, I found out this afternoon, is just lately having trouble getting enough oxygen, no other symptoms, not asthma. He went to a doctor a day and a half ago, and tests are coming up. He says it’s worse tonight than when he was in...

Thanks for the welcome! I like some kinds of music, yes, and checked out the link.
