    What's New?

    Background I’ve been trusting Jesus Christ as both my savior and lord for a week now. Most of my life I thought I was a good Christian, but my lifestyle proclaimed a different story. I’ve written a good amount on my past life, which was steeped in sexual addiction and sinful habits, but some...

    Identity Crisis?

    Flesh vs. Spirit I’ve heard a lot of explanations of Romans 6-8. Most of them left me unsatisfied, for they seemed to be crafted to fit into one theology or another, rather than to clarify Paul’s description of the struggle with the flesh and God’s solution in the Spirit. Paul said this in...

    How I Got Here

    Many years ago, my wife expressed to me that she thought I was following Satan in my life and I was headed to hell. As a good Christian man, so I thought, I was stunned and offended by such a bold and derogatory statement, and challenged her on it. Her evidence included my lifetime use of...

    Sport and diet as religion

    Many people will take up a sport or join a gym in the coming month. They may follow a specific diet (paleo, 5:2, superfoods, raw vegan...) and set themselves some 'body goals'. They might use apps to monitor their heart rate and sleeping patterns and enter all the 'data' regarding foods, macro...

    how I found God- my true story

    My name is Bethany and am 37. I first found out I was a true Christian when I was 15 and had a near death experience. Before that I had gone to youth groups and church camp but that was the defining experience then. You can’t wake up in intensive care on life support, with people worried you...

    Worship Is A Lifestyle

    Lately, my days have been filled with worship music. Sometimes I'm using headphones, sometimes speakers in the room I'm in, sometimes playing through all the speakers in my house. At first, it was a way to forget about the stress for a few minutes. Now, I'm almost always listening to...

    Christians in the Money Twelve Step Groups (DA, UA, CLA)

    I am not sure if other Christians have tried to get recovery in these groups. I was involved for about five years but I found that it was hard to be in a very hard core group of people who were actively saying things against Christianity and professing a lot of New Age/Occult beliefs. I also...

    Parents who don't see they had a role

    It's really sad for me to see when parents don't take any responsibility about how their children turned out. It's even sadder when these parents are very legalistic Christian who you think should know better. If they could humble themselves, and not be so hard, then maybe their kids would not...
