Colossians 1:24-26 ESV “Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in Christ's afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church, of which I became a minister according to the stewardship from God that was given to me for you, to make...

John 14:1-4 NIV “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to...

War, politics, lies, betrayal, the murdering of innocents, our young men and women in uniform dying on a battle field via men of power; takeovers of nations, riots and lawlessness, sin abounding, the church asleep or complacent for the most part; the gospel diluted, and do we even notice...

I woke up a little after midnight after having only had about an hour of sleep. The song “Full Release” was playing in my mind, so I read the lyrics. The word that stood out to me in each stanza was the word “daily.” From that I sensed the Lord wanted me to write on the subject of “daily.” So, I...

I had no idea where to put this and felt this might be the best place, given what it's directed at? If not, I'm more than happy to move it to where it needs to be! Sorry if it's a little too long and emotional, I've been struggling hardcore with my family abuse. The people on topic are in...

Not sure the best forum for this, touches on several issues... I am a member of a non-denominational Baptist rooted local congregation (18-20 members, many kids and others). Baptized there and official voting member, having signed whatever constitution we had as a fledgling congregation at the...

I've been mistreated by my dad... he's cheated on Mom many times... I used to admire him when I was younger... I wish that he could see the light, honestly. (The fact he preaches in groups without us, overseas in a compound, eats at me.) Pray for him.

While I admire the message that the song itself portrays, the like 'who the (BEEP) is he?' makes my stomach turn sour in a spiritual sense and I wrote a poem about the matter which can be viewed here: I Am Not by ChristIsSovereign Yet while I admire the message, I see the message being...

I lead the youth group on Sunday nights at my church, and have been planning to start a series on Philippians. However, I found out that one of the middle school girls recently had a suicide attempt; thankfully, she seems to be doing better. Because Phil. 1:21 states "to live is Christ, and to...

God has seemed to open my eyes to two of my chief sins in my life. The LORD cast me down with guilt after I barked at two people for endorsing a Bethel Redding church event and how I behaved was inexcusable. I also struggle with sexual temptation and can really be carried away at the slightest...

I pray that she does not fall for the doctrines of demons that the BSSM teaches.

Let me start with that I greatly respect my FFIL. He has led his family in a godly manner that produced the man that is my fiance. I enjoy spending time with him, and he makes me laugh. I mean absolutely no disrespect to him at all with this post. If you do not want to read my long rant...
