    Am I in the wrong for saying "no"?

    Hello everyone, My wife and I are part of a church, and we're very active in serving. Last year we occasionally served in the nursery on Sundays, and I was often scheduled to clean the church on a Saturday before church. On top of that, I shoveled all the paths and was backup to lockup the...

    Ok for a RCIA candidate to continue serving in Protestant Church until Easter Vigil?

    I was raised and baptized nondenominational Protestant, and served in my church's children's ministry in high school but stepped down due to college out of town and doing RCIA. I called my old ministry supervisor to see how she was, asked on the status of the ministry; they are low on...

    Well, into another week and not much has changed here at home. However, we are well and blessed beyond what we deserve.

    For To Me, To Live Is Christ, And To Die Is Gain

    Paul wrote, "For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. But if I go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. So, what shall I choose? I do not know. I am torn between the two. I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better indeed. But it is more necessary...

    Are You Really Doing The Will Of The Father?

    There are many who claim to know Jesus who attend weekly local church services and even donate some time and money to help others less fortunate than themselves, but is this what Jesus meant when He told us to do the will of the Father? Jesus never told us to go to church, read the bible, or...

    We Are All Called To Minister

    Throughout the world there are many who make the claim to be Christian and yet remain spiritually dead. They may read the bible, go to a local church, pray, and yet they remain spiritually separated from God. These so-called believers do all kinds of 'good' works in the name of the Lord and most...

    Serve!

    Status: I think God's giving me a push... What CAN we do when it seems that God isn't answering our prayers? What CAN we do when the months pass and the disappointment becomes unbearable? What CAN we do while we "wait on the Lord"? We can do what God has been telling his people to do for...

    Service and Being Served

    Hi all, Before I ask any questions, let me run y'all through the story of how I got to where I am now. When I began dating my boyfriend (soon-to-be fiance), I was in-between churches and was not attending any church. The church I had been attending in the past (VERY regularly) is a multi-side...

    Prayer for Broken Marriage

    My name is Paul and I am a baby Christian. I am married and have a 4 year old daughter. I am currently living separately from them both and can't seem to find my way back. Our biggest struggle is conflict resolution, and that is the reason I remain separate from them, as I am choosing to keep my...
