"They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. sense of awe came over everyone, and the apostles performed many wonders and signs. All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods...
Are you seeking fellowship with others who live daily for Christ?
Jesus spent intimate time with His true disciples to teach, guide, and love them. This was His personal fellowship (koinonia) time with those who turned their hearts and their lives away from this world to follow Him. This same...
I praise the Lord for bringing my life into His living Church (Body of Christ) that are His hands and feet here in this world. The purpose of His Body is to make disciples of all nations while spreading His gospel and His love to this dying world. However, there is a distinct difference between...
Why isnt it pointless to designate offering to a church or diversified non-profit when it just means that dept makes their budget sooner?
I see it as an organized shell game by the powers at be, but I'm not blaming them if they're just doing what the donor wants.
Let's say a children's ministry...

So, why post a Thread about "bad bibles" in the "Deeper Fellowship", section?
Well, if we have as our Thread's context "deeper fellowship with God", then that comes by having deeper fellowship with God, and God as THE WORD, ....and the word is the divine place regarding deeper fellowship...
Jesus questioned His disciples: "Who do people say the Son of Man is?" They replied, "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets." "But what about you?" Jesus asked. "Who do you say I am?" Simon Peter answered, "YOU ARE THE CHRIST, THE SON OF...

To understand Grace correctly, is to understand Salvation correctly, is to understand the Blood Atonement correctly.
Notice this verse....
"the finished WORK, of Jesus, on the Cross".
Now, who is Jesus?
Jesus is God.
So, that is GOD on the Cross, dying for the sin of the world...and this...
During the time of Jesus’ earthly ministry He had many clashes with the religious people of that day who claimed to be God’s people, but as was proved out were truly practicing nothing more than their own manmade doctrines and traditions in God’s name. You see, Jesus knew the true condition of...
"And this is the message we have heard from Him (Jesus) and announce to you: God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. If we say we have fellowship with Him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have...
I was in my local Food Lion looking for my snacks. Couldn't find them. Wandering the aisles I finally asked an employee.
"It's over there, " he said as he pointed. "You would have found your answer earlier if you had just looked up." I smiled. "You mean to tell me, if I had just looked up I...
I have spent my entire life in the Church. I love being around other Christians, but this year has really rocked a lot of things. I have found myself Identifying less and less with the Southern Baptist Convention and I just wondered if anyone could suggest another Denomination that might be more...
The answer, of course, would depend on what religion is in question. I am interested in other religion's answers for their own particular "Church" (whatever form that may take). What I present is my Catholic Christian answer for this question.
The purpose of the Church is to bring Christ to...
I'm in a state where I think I'm not ready to commit to a local church. I'm looking out from them because there's more to explore out there (different denominations or church). But on their side the members will surely try to push me to attend to every sunday sermon and cell group gathering. I...
Hi there,
The Kitchen Sink, seems like a good place to put this: I really don't think it fits anywhere, to be addressed to the Church in General, but not some or others, depending on how its interpreted. The question is simple: "Am I addicted to the approval of the Church?" I suppose if it came...
Hi there,
So I have been a believer for many years now, and I have frequently struggled, with what my faith means. I said the line "Jesus, I make you my Lord and Saviour" in direct contradiction to the verse "you did not choose me" John 15:16-17. The systemic problem then, went back to what...
Is this a sign of things that are on its way to the United States? Our values are being rejected and we have already seen the beating of a street preacher and church vandalism right here on our soil. Other countries are already dealing with these issues and Christians aren't winning.

Hi there
I've been following this popular online Church in another country these last 6 months and I love it. Their sermons, live.music, brilliant, and I've given money to them a few times when I can, tithe.
Is it okay I continue this online Church even though I don't physically go to a local...
Recently, I read the following post on Facebook, "If we cannot enjoy a few hours in God’s service once a week in this world, it is plain to see that we could not enjoy an eternity in His service in the world to come... Too many have no heart for God’s service." This message spoke volumes of...
Hi there,
I'm a new Christian, and a Church local to me I was Baptised in earlier this year.
I emailed the Priest last week, asking if there is anything I can help with - even though there are no service with audiences live in the Church.
The Priest got back to me, asking if I can help with the...
Good day, all.
I was thinking about people going more sustainable in the world, eating more organic & vegan foods, when naturally, I thought, "Hey, animals eat food, too!"
And so I was inspired to give my pets organic homemade and vegan food.
