Please pray for me and my partner. We are having issues in our relationship that might break us apart. She is a believer. There are some toxic traits that I have that I need to work on. Please pray for me, but also the relationship to be healthy, blessed, and to remain firm. Please also pray...

My father went missing at a park outside of town about four hours ago. There is a search party combing through the area trying to find him or any clues. They found our dog tied to the door of his van, but they haven't found anything else. Please pray!!!

I and my roommates have strep throat. Thank you, brothers and sisters.

I'm curious to know what your average worship services looks like every Sunday (or on a different day if your church-body fits this exception). Our services start at 10:00, and roughly finishes somewhere between 12:30-1:00. We begin and finish with: Public Greeting and Opening Prayer Scripture...

Is Samson's death a typology of Christ's death? He defeated his enemies at the cost of his life, thus saving the people of Israel.

I learned about something last night for the first time. We are familiar with Yahweh, god of the Israelites, Chemosh, god of the Moabites, Milcom, god of the Ammonites, Asherah, goddess of the Sidonians, but little do we know about the god of the Edomites: Qōs. One reason we are not familiar...

Matthew 5:43-48 is an expounding of the Second Greatest Commandment by our Lord. It is the Christian's duty to love all men, not some; to pray for all men, not for some. Our service in this world is not only to the Church. We are not called to be incomplete (or imperfect), but rather to be...

God often inculcates generosity among His people time and time again, inviting us to imitate Him by showing liberality to those who need help. In this passage, because the sojourner, fatherless, and widow are those who do not possess a field of their own to sow or reap, it should be in the heart...

We often hear that only Jesus, being fully God, was able to drain the dregs of God's cup of wrath in three hours on the cross. However, this seems to be only a popular belief. I want to ask you Universal Reconciliationists (or whatever you prefer to be called), do you think it is possible that...

Who remembers this one? Brings back memories.

This thread is inspired, in part, by Bible Highlighter's thread 'What is the Gospel?', so I have a question for you all: What are the essential elements or theological points of the gospel in your view? Does it include predestination? Or hell? What are the essential points that constitute the...

A member of our church, who is still dealing with the loss of her husband, has lost her son to suicide. Please pray for her and her family. Thank you!

This video is about Anglican Bishop George Berkeley's "radical" ontology, which if true, may resolve many philosophical paradoxes such as the mind-body problem. As a believer who strongly shares a view similar to his of subjective idealism, I think it is worth considering for all Christians...
