    Keep Seeking the Things of God

    “Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life...

    Those Who Seek to Destroy My Life

    “O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and glory. Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips...

    Seek the Lord

    This passage from Isaiah 55 is an urgent call to come to or to return to the Lord and to be restored to a right relationship with God. The people, evidently, were complacent and settled in their worldliness and wickedness, like some of us may be today. So, God asks us why we waste our money and...

    How to find privacy and time for full-time fasting and praying for several days?

    Just a very simple and practical question: I want to have a personal encounter with God, which you can read more about in my other thread. Therefore, I want to set aside several days, say 3 or 4, for full-time fasting (only water allowed), praying, reading the Bible, reading Christian books and...

    Seeking a personal encounter with God

    Hi. New to this forum. I just want to share with others my desire to have a personal encounter with God. To very briefly introduce the context and motivation of my search, I think it basically reduces to a combination of 1) me having several episodes of existential crisis (being agnostic, not...

    New & Finding Faith

    Hello all! My name is Jessy, and I'm a married stay-at-home parent to two small children. Though technically RC through familial tradition, I've been spiritually seeking for a while now. A happy Pagan for the past 17 years, I've been questioning and seeking a lot this past half year. Without...

    UPDATE: Curiosity about the Catholic/Orthodox Church

    Being a Protestant, although my Protestantism is weaker than it used to be, I was wondering how the Catholics come to the conclusion that they are the Church that Christ set up on Earth. Also, I am starting to believe that many of the Catholic practices are actually proper Christian behavior...

    Would Want Catholic-Style Service, but Have Protestant Beliefs

    I don't feel close to God in the typical church environments, yet when I see a Catholic mass, for example, it feels more involved, I guess? I want to feel like my prayers to God matter, instead of being afraid of speaking a single word, lest my subconscious attack me violently. I would want a...

    Building Intimacy With Christ

    As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God. - Psalm 42:1 Julian of Norwich was a medieval follower of Christ. In a day of darkness where form so easily took over any sense of believers intimacy with Christ, she wrote a classic volume on knowing God's love. A quote...

    Trying to accept Christ

    Hello all. Here's my introduction: I was raised without religion. In my early teens I became interested in the idea of God, and I began attending an evangelical church with one of my friends. I enjoyed it because it felt purposeful, but even there I never felt that I had any direct or true...

    I Don't Know What To Say

    I'm a seeker of God. I've lived many years depressed and lost, and just recently came to the light of Jesus Christ this year. I used to smoke weed, touch, look at porn everyday, and just not even really think about where my life was going. I'm a musician, so one day, I went to a listening...
