I have heard it said by many a minister, some visiting and others who are members of the church, that God answers prayers in only 3 ways. He either says: yes, and turns that situation around, or he says no and leaves your situation as it is and doesn't move on what you've requested, or he says...

I'm not sure where to post this, so here goes: Often when I used to pray for people the Lord would ask me if I would take this from them? I always took that to mean if I had to suffer for them would I do it, and I never hesistated to say yes. Sometimes He asked "will you stand here for them?"...

I have been talking to the Lord about my gifts and what He would have me to do. I have been told by people in the church that I have a "weird" gift....not really I seem to have a combined gift. I remember praying when I was younger and telling the Lord that I wanted to "heal people's hurts" I...

This has really been plaguing me, I'm just about finished with my psych degree and am supposed to be graduating Dec 2007, but i separated from my hubby and I work 25 hours a week. I was really hoping and praying that I could be done with school come December, but with the job I can't seem to fit...

Okay, I've noticed the thread about what kinds of spiritual gifts you have, but I have another question... What types of gifts have you seen working within your church? also, Does your church ask visiting people or new members what gifts they have or how God is using them? If so, why does...

Okay i used to attend a church that I loved and it was 5 fold ministry or something like that (pastor, envangelist, prophet....i think?) well now I've found a church that I think I want to attend and check out, its also 5-fold, but now I can't seem to remember what exactly a 5-fold ministry...

Okay a while ago i posted about problems i was having in my marriage with my hubby not stepping to the plate and being what i thought was a "man". Well things got to the point where I ended up packing and spending a few nights in a hotel. Odd thing was it was the hubby that told me to go and not...

I visit my bio-dads church sometimes (Church of Zion) and one thing has been really peculiar to me, I've never seen it done this way at any of the churches I've ever been to, but it got me to wondering some things. This is what they do: Every church gathering they do a short praise and...

I'm doing a sociology paper for my Sociology of Religion class and want to get some feedback. It's probably a pretty straight-forward question that's asked alot Poll: How do you feel about how your church treating the young adults? If you could please give feedback other than the poll...

The story of the sinful woman with her alabaster box always touched me Luke 7:36-50 When I read this passage I find myself imagining this sinful woman who so shamelessly anointed Jesus' feet and wiped them with her own hair....I wonder how she ever made it to him, how she walked past all...

ive a question. What do you do when you find out that your bio-dad apparently doesnt think that you're his child, and treats your older brother far different than you? My bio-dad used to say that he never had much to do with us because he didnt want to "intrude" on my mom and dad's marriage. But...
