  1. ChristIsSovereign

    Been reading the Episcopal book of common prayer (has *plenty* of scripture) and praying. Advice?

    Being a brand, brand, brand new Christian, (my previous interactions here I deem to be false and not in the spirit of me as a Christian now) I've been practicing severe caution as to not read books I find to have theological leanings in one direction or another, and the small Episcopal book of...

    Child-on-child molestation occurred, what now?

    Short story: my son “Jay” molested my step-son “Bill” (the incident happens twice and there was no penetration) at the time he was 11, and 7. This occurred about 4 years ago, he’s been in therapy (he’s had difficulties along the way but more so about behavior than acting out sexually) recently...

    Pray for my family, please.

    it would be a little encouraging to have the support of fellow christians right now. I will make this as brief as possible! My dad has anger issues, he is orthodox and no one in my family can reason with him or even talk to him. His is like a ticking time bomb, the worst part is that he doesn’t...

    Is it okay to be a less emotional Christian?

    Well, this is an internal conflict I've had for a while. I'd like your take on it. I'm not much of a "feeler", personality-wise. I like to be logical and straightforward. I enjoy studying theology and apoligetics. I don't tend to cry during worship and my language is quite unemotional as well...

    Hi everyone, I'm Jess. I'm 24 years old, born and raised Catholic, but as of the last couple years, I've left the Catholic church and considered myself a Christian. I've been attending a Baptist church for about a year and a half with my boyfriend and so far I really like it there. (If anyone...

    Was it a good idea?

    So I made an eHarmony account to see if I could find a partner. Was it a good idea? I know some people don't like that site but I don't know what else to try.

    Longing for the Holy Spirit..

    I am a Pentecostal and am a member of the Church of God. So, I believe in being filled with the Holy Ghost and that the initial evidence of the baptism of the Holy Spirit is speaking in tongues. Being filled with the Holy Spirit is something I believe we all need. I mean Jesus operated with the...

    Can I be inspired by a non christian book?

    I am currently reading a spiritual book, but not those about the law of attractions or any other pagan religion. It is a story of how one person found a deeper calling by following her intuition. In the book, it emphasises a lot on following the heart and on love. It hardly makes mention of God...

    How to look for and feel about God when people gossip about you?

    Although I have grown leaps and bounds in my walk with Christ ever since I first started, I have one teensy problem. I know that when people talk behind our backs, people say that we don't need to worry because we find our value in God and God only. (Of course I can say that I find value in my...

    Is it wrong to sometimes not be able to live solely for God?

    Hi, I know that God promises us our future spouses, and that almost everyone has one predestined (if you disagree then keep it to yourselves, it's not the point of this thread whether spouses are predetermined or not). Although I have friends, sometimes I can't help but feel lonely and instead...
