    Does apologetics "work"?

    I know this is a clickbait type of question--bear with me for a second. I am interested in what you think about the role of apologetics when discussing the faith with non-believers on this forum. Recently I have engaged several believing members of this forum, across multiple treads, and I...

    Deprogramming cult persecutes Christian in Texas!

    Hi all. This one is pretty depressing, about a young woman kidnapped and coerced to deny her faith. Although the woman managed to escape, her story details a rather shocking trend toward greater and greater persecution of radical Christianity in the name of respectability. I'd like to hear...

    The Kingdom Of Heaven Is About Faith And Growth

    "Then Jesus asked, “What is the kingdom of God like? To what can I compare it? It is like a mustard seed that a man tossed into his garden. It grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air nested in its branches.” Again He asked, “To what can I compare the kingdom of God? It is like leaven...

    Dependency in God Alone

    Romans 1:8-12 ESV “First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is proclaimed in all the world. For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I mention you always in my prayers, asking that somehow by God's...

    It Is Not About You!

    Salvation does not equal: Claiming to have prayed a sinner’s prayer, water baptism, sacraments, tithes and offerings, becoming a member of a church, keeping the Sabbath, missionary work, and all other forms of works pressed upon those who are called and chosen according to the good purpose of...

    Mental fatigue

    Please pray that God will free my mind from mental fatigue and stress. The stress has caused me to doubt Christianity and invite unbelief into my life. The stress has also caused me to believe that God has given up on me and given me a hard heart and reprobate mind. Please pray that God will...

    Faith Without Deeds Is Dead!

    James 2:14-19 tells us, "What good is it, my brothers, if someone claims to have faith, but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you tells him, “Go in peace; stay warm and well fed,” but does not provide for his physical...

    Using Faith to Accomplish your Goals

    In Mark 9:23, “Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.” Indeed, within each one of us, there is a powerful force called faith. And this force can be used to accomplish all of our goals. So why is it that many of us lead broken and weak lives...

    Matthew 5:38-48 The Matter of the Heart

    38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ ******Jesus Christ is referencing 'an eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth', which the people had heard once before, doing a quick search on this we are able to find that it seems to have been written in a famous...

    When You Are Afraid Of Your Father's House(5) - What Is The Gospel?

    Today where is that depth in the word? Where is the strength of faith in the church? Where is that child-like faith that takes God at his word? Where is the gospel that Jesus preached? It's not hard to conclude that in the days that we are in the church is fast losing its ground and its power...

    Persistent in Faith and Prayer

    Luke 11:5-8 NASB Then He said to them, “Suppose one of you has a friend, and goes to him at midnight and says to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves; for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him’; and from inside he answers and says, ‘Do not bother me...

    Do Christians risk losing their faith at University?

    Members of the National Academy of Science are far more likely to withhold belief in the supernatural than the general population. Science majors in general lack belief more than the general population. Biblical and New Testament scholars do not often hold conservative theological beliefs such...

    The best class for my faith

    I have been a theology major at a Catholic university for a year now, after transferring from a different college I attended for 2 years. I started pondering which of my classes had the biggest impact on my faith life. Intro to New Testament taught me more about God's word; Sacraments taught...
