    I'm at the end of my rope...

    Our church is non-denominational. I think the pastor would be our best bet, I've wanted to call him, but he's pretty sick right now. Our youth pastor sets up "fun youth nights", but that's the extent of the relationship with the kids. One good thing, is this private special school we're hoping...

    I'm at the end of my rope...

    God bless all of you for your kind, gentle, wise, loving, and encouraging words, prayers, scriptures.... I am always the one there for others in their need and it is so precious to me to be ministered to by such dear members of Christ's body. I love you all! I only slept for 1.5 hours last...

    I'm at the end of my rope...

    ...because today my 13 year old son and I met with his teacher and principal (a private christian school he recently switched to) and in the "best interests of your son and our school it would be best if he attended elsewhere". (He simply does not do the work, hates school, gets angry,and...

    The Passion of the Christ

    Helen, thank you so much for your kind words. I also appreciate what you said: You're right, that did come off hypocritical. Sorry. Please forgive me all. :( What I should have said instead is: "Maybe it is God's will for some to see this, for others it may not be. I have my own personal...

    The Passion of the Christ

    I saw The Passion on Sunday night and I needed to pray and sort out all I saw before I said anything about it. I know many are being deeply impacted by seeing this film, which I praise God for, if it bears true, lasting fruit for His kingdom. Having said that,.... I prayed all last week...

    The Passion of the Christ

    Helen, great article! But as a protestant I couldn't help but notice that Mel is said to prefer "the Tridentine Latin Mass and calls Mary co-redemptrix." OK, I'm not touching the Mass issue on this thread, but a man who believes that Mary is co-redemptrix will surely weave that belief into his...

    The Passion of the Christ

    I WAS going to go see The Passion on Friday, yet I wasn't totally sure I should. Part of me wants to.....yet. I've been asking the Lord to show me HIS will for me. I love what you've said loveispeace, it really struck a deep cord with me. The Gospels, Isaiah 53, Psalm 22 and many other...

    Lying Pastor

    I respect very much what you're saying Auntie and that has been why I've waited and prayed for so long before doing anything. (Since February) I have cried out to God to examine MY heart. I have asked Him to show me if there are any "logs" in my eye. I have really waited on the Lord for His will...

    From Flesh to Spirit

    Good question! I'm not a theologian, but here's what I've come up with: "The wicked are estranged from the womb; They go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies." Psalm 58:3 Seems some are born with a bent against God. John the Baptist: "For he will be great in the sight of...

    Lying Pastor

    Yes, this is very difficult for me. I'm positive he did not mention the book, because the story was so specific in some details and he said his wife did this, he did that, etc... and the youth pastor joked about that story when it was his turn to preach, that's why it stuck with me. I also...

    Lying Pastor

    I need some advice. My husband and I attend a church that we were definately led to by the Lord. My problem: A while ago, I borrowed a book from our church library. On the very first page, I was shocked and horrified to read a detailed personal story related by this author that our pastor had...

    O Dianne, my heart absolutely breaks for all of you! Please be assured that God does love you all. We have been there more times than I can count and this Christmas is no exception. My 2 boys have been told we'll probably have only soup and sandwiches for Christmas dinner and I have only one...
