    How to tell my Orthodox family that I am Protestant?

    My family is strictly Orthodox. We live somewhere where to be Protestant is equal to be in a sect. I am afraid to tell them (only my mother knows, but she thinks it is a phase and she advised me not to tell, which now, a year later, results in constant fear). Whenever this subject pops up my...

    I was born again recently about two weeks ago. I just suddenly felt my spirit filled by Jesus Christ the Son of God. I was an agnostic prior to this but I'm very certain now about my faith.

    Christian for the Wrong Reasons

    My lazy attempts to seek the Lord are either motivated by fear of hell or done out of guilt. I sometimes feel guilty for ignoring God so I pray. I don't seek him because I love him or want him. I seek him out of selfish ambition. I've asked that he help change my perspective on him so that I can...

    My worst enemy is boredom/advice

    So, I have a job and some close friends, but on my days off I can only find so many things to do before I get very bored, which is when I start to think about and sometimes engage in sexual sin. I'm wondering how do most Christians stave off boredom which causes us to sin? I'm sure if I had...

    Hell-fire

    If you die without Jesus, you will go to Hell. As Christians, isn't there a better way to evangelize to non-Christians? Isn't there a gentler way to evangelize to non-Christians? For example (just an example): "Heaven is a real place. God is real. Jesus loves you." What are your...

    How do I know whether I have a calling to vocational ministry?

    How do I know whether God is calling me to full-time or part-time vocational ministry? To rephrase my question - how do I know if God is calling me to study in seminary and (possibly) pursue ordination as a Christian minister? Background information about me (long post): I was born...
