    From Calvinism to Agnosticism to Christ - Thank God for His Providence

    This is a rocky journey. Being raised in a moderately authoritarian Christian household (eventually revealed to be hypocritical on the father’s side; he had numerous affairs which forever changed my faith) with slight Arminian leanings. Things seemed to go smooth with me and my Hebrew/Greek...

    Jesus Saved Me

    Jesus found me. In reality, he did so long ago and He's Just woken me up to it. In short, I was a hard core addict one year ago. I was alone with my addiction. My family is not religious at all though I see some of them coming around to it mostly in appreciation of my heling. I paid money...

    When a friend asks you to minister to them

    Still a very new Christian. An old friend reached out to me with marriage/relationship advice. I followed my first instinct and promised to read Ephesians and get back to her. Simply put this female friend (I'm a man) is questioning whether GOD intended for biblical encouragement about...

    New Christian with pre-destination question.

    While sharing my bible reading plan with a lifelong Christian and missionary I was advised that the end of Romans 8 covered a much debated topic; predestination. She explained to me that she had seen churches literally split apart because of the contraversy over this specific topic. So I read...

    Divorce and the Churches reaction

    I've been attending church for a small amount of time and can't count how many people, mostly women, who felt judged and rejected by their former church family after they had a divorce. I know plenty of people have heard this before. Every Christian should know that the divorcee is accountable...

    The Narrow Door Luke 13 22-28

    Help a new guy out with his bible study please. Jesus knows the answers that we need but sometimes we ask him the wrong question. I pose that this parable is meant to motivate us to this end. Instead of asking whether or not it will be popular to seek the kingdom of GOD, instead focus on the...

    Cutting through the Fog

    Every time I express my excitement about God's grace, more experienced Christians seek to ground me by ministering against sin. Why must it be one or the other? Through my lens, I'm waking up happy for the first time in my life. Gratefulness for having recieved salvation has set my path...

    Suggestions Requested! Second time through the Bible

    If anyone considers themselves moderately well studied: Did you use any specific methodology when attempting to digest the word in its entirety? I say this with the understanding that repetition is key. Everything was far more impactful the second time I read. I'm considering character by...

    Seeking Help With Choosing Denomination

    I was wondering if anyone could help me with some questions I have pertaining to Anabaptism. I agree with most of what I've seen regarding the beliefs, but would I have to join a group like the Amish or Mennonites and live communally with them or can I remain where I am. And do I need to give up...

    Christian pastor boyfriend or my dream career?

    After a sin-filled life growing up in LA, my life was radically changed when I came to Christ 11 months ago. I decided to move to a small town where my parents had left, (i'm 21) and in doing so, I started going to their Church. I met this guy there who was nothing like the guys I've dated, and...
