Hii, first of all nice to meet you, I'm 16 and I'm from Europe :)
Sooo this might be stupid, but I don't know if I should keep watching a show called "the amazing digital circus". The first episode came out a month ago, it has become my favourite show already. :') It doesn't promote sin or...
Now I am looking through the window
In the corner of my room.
I see people walking here and there
Seemingly without a care.
I wonder, “Do they truly know Him?
Do they think of Him at all?
Do they think of what He’s done for them?
Have they given Him a call?
“Do they wonder if He’s listening

I was raised as a Jehovah’s Witness. Just in the past year I have gone from feeling that something is wrong, to thinking that our leadership is off the rails, to thinking that a few of our doctrines are wrong, to finally realizing through the leadings of Holy Spirit that The Watchtower...
James 1:2-4,12 ESV
“Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
“Blessed is the man who remains...
God bless you all my dear new friends
God shows me that I go right way and helped me solve all my problems in relationships I ever had in my life. I mean problems with colleagues in my job, problems with women and especially with my sister in love, where we didn´t talk for 20 years and now we...
1 Samuel 16:7 ESV
“But the Lord said to Samuel, ‘Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart’.”
The truth behind these words goes beyond just...
Hello, I'm learning about Christianity currently and this is something that I've had some hard time understanding by just reading about it online.
What is the purpose of statues/icons? What is the difference between the two? Do they serve different purposes? What is the difference between...
I started practicing meditation and all the new age bologna, and it very quickly brought me right to God. "knock, and He will answer" indeed. So in the meditations, or prayer, He sometimes shows me great images, or teaches me amazing lessons. It is hard to explain to people, when I try, it's...
About a year ago I was raped. If I choose to press charges I should do so soon because my rape kit will be thrown away after a year. Is it wrong to press charges? My family thinks that I should, but I'm honestly very scared nothing will come from it. I signed up for this website to learn...
I'm part of a ministry in which we go into lower income neighborhoods and play basketball with the kids in those areas. These are mostly junior high/high-school age kids living in broken homes and dealing with personal issues. After basketball, we go through passages of scripture, and we want to...
Hello! Does Deuteronomy 22 teach that we should help stray animals find their owners, even when we don't know the owners? Here's the passage in question (emphasis mine):
If you see your fellow Israelite’s ox or sheep straying, do not ignore it but be sure to take it back to its owner. 2 If they...
Hey people,
I've recently had an experience which has led me to start believing in God,
I've been having a lot of questions, since I never read the bible, and am the only one in my direct family.
I guess I should open a thread at the ''christian living'' part of this forum?
I am 22M and I've recently been struggling with the christian walk. I've been a born-again christian for a little over a year after growing up agnostic and I am currently the only christian in my household.
To sum up what God has instructed me to do in my christian walk is:
make music, to...
Every first Sunday of the month, the pastors at the UMC have a time when, if people want to ask questions, they can come ask them and they will try to answer them to the best of their In the abilities.
This would only be my third time asking stuff as this time is only held during Sunday School...
Watching this kind of manipulation in action is not only helpful in learning how to navigate such roadblocks put in the way to getting to the truth (on the Mormon religion, on the person of JS, on the BOM, on whatever), but also helps us to see why our Mormon friends on this website and...
Hi, my name is Ashlee, I'm doing research on how Christian beliefs on the second coming differ. I have 3 sets of questions that shouldn't take long to answer, I would love anyone to participate. I will be recording these answers (all anonymously of course :) ), but if you wouldn't mind sharing...
Hello -- my name is Jackson and I am currently exploring my relationship with faith and God. I grew up with no strict religion or belief system, but in my ongoing recovery work in AA I have come to believe that a relationship with God is as important as one's relationship with their mother and...
Hello, my name is Joey. I have a long story but for brevity I am 45 years old and I just now finally understand with great clarity my purpose in life. I feel so excited I can barely contain myself. This behavior is not normal for my "old self" for lack of understanding. This might sound silly...
Hi, new to this forum. There appears to be a wealth of knowledge and materials here so I'm looking forward to digging into it. I was raised in a Congregational church although my Mother was Catholic and my Father the son of a Southern Baptist minister. My experience with the Congregational...
