    Continually in Angst

    Satan wants us living in fear, constantly upset, continually in angst over this or that, fighting among ourselves, possibly over things that don't even exist. We must resist him! And, we must put on the armor of God, and be at peace.

    Micah 5:2 confusion

    While Matthew uses this verse to point to Jesus Messianic birth, if read in context, it sounds as if it is speaking of a literal ruler that will delivers them from the Assyrians. I’m confused on this, I know many Jews believe that the Messiah will be a physics ruler to deliver the Jewish...

    How not to be stupid about politics

    Everyone could understand politics if everyone - especially the 'Think Tanks' - would stop lying. For example Neoliberalism was sold to the public on the basis that it would reduce prices. That it would do so by moving production out of the country and we would therefore be sending a lot of...

    Greetings all, this is my first post on this forum and website. I've been praying these past two months and asking our Lord Jesus to send me a message and I've been woken up about 3-4 times at exactly, 4:44, only on the nights I pray for a message. Before I even turn to look at my clock on my...

    Overwhelmed in Church

    I have been wanting to become more involved with my religion in the past year (my family is Christian but never goes to church or is particularly religious), but when I go to church, it feels both too real and also too little.

    Conflicted About 1 John 5:7

    It is such a clear defense of the Trinity in the King James Version but in nearly all the newer versions, the part mentioning about how the 3 were 1 was removed. They said it was because they were trying to match he 'original' manuscripts. Confused about the issue. The verse in the KJV feels...
