    Struggles and reservations about commiting to any church group

    The painful reality is there is very little of the modern church that the Apostles of old would recognize. It seems that hitting the reset button is the only real option right now. Our fellowship has done that this last spring, and now the whole room is happy. I have generally banned anyone from...

    Hard to find a new church

    When you "up-root" a plant you put it into shock (pain) It then takes around three seasons for a tree to be re-established. As a person who has moved many times, you must allow time for your roots to regrow. They are tender, sore, and bruised, asked the Lord for the RIGHT soil for you to grow in.

    Severe anxiety during church and church events has prohibited me from making connections

    I know a gal who suffered from this for years. It kept her out of many social engagements including jobs. She does not have this issue any more after taking Ashwagandha pills. Research it, there are many places that sell it.

    Struggles and reservations about commiting to any church group

    If you're looking or considering a house church. You can go to House Church Network This is where we posted ours. And our is the "no name" group in Idaho. Concerning the issue of money, yes a couple of people decided to bless us occasionally. But generally, we tell people to seek the Lord or...

    Struggles and reservations about commiting to any church group

    Well, I am not going to pretend to have an answer to the questions being raised here. I just felt like I should share my story. I became a Christian in 1984 out of high school. Years passed in the small church I was in. Looking back, it was most likely a mixture of God's favor and stupid human...

    Dream interpretation

    Sometimes in the process of keeping things short, we overlook because we see some things of no value. Take your time and write it all out when you have time alone and it's just you and the Lord. If he's got something for you, it will show up.

    Will Jesus have time for everyone in heaven?

    The short answer is yes. As God, he holds all things in his hand, counts each star, and has a name for them. He knows when each star is born and dies. He is aware of every grain of sand and hair on your head. Something as simple as keeping track and talking with a bunch of humans in this corner...

    The Feast Days

    To participate or not, there is no law. However, if a person wants to participate no one should stand in the way. Paul did a similar argument on the subject of eating meat. However having said that, there is a clear direction after the return of Christ there will be a requirement for all the...

    Small groups

    So just for the fun of it what terminology does your group use to describe itself?

    Moses' body and Samuel rising up at the whim of the Witch of Endor?

    So if I read this right, you asking, "could a demonic spirit show up and pretend to be someone else?" My general answer is yes. I am aware of a few times when people have been deceived by so-called "family members" who return from time to time to give them guidance. In one case a woman I know of...

    Discussion Dreams from GOD

    I've been in this for over 30 years and I safely say that no two people are the same regarding dreams and their interpretation of them. This is because our faith is one of relationship with Jesus and he walks with us according to his desires. Some just know what the dream means, others need to...

    You must read and agree before posting in this forum

    Well, I chose #5. But I guess I should expand on that. I'm a Gentile, been a Christian for over 30 years mostly in Charismatic Christianity. 15 years ago we planted a small church and at that time the Lord told me he wanted us to "hold" to Passover. This started many conversations, and many...

    Unfortunately, we can only give what we have. Based on what you said about your pastor, I suspect he is secretly burnt out and just going through the motions. And if he has nothing to give, that only trickles downstream to the leaders who run the small groups. Sad, very sad. Ben there, done...

    How To Get My Old Church To Stop Contacting Me

    Well, with all my experience, I have never had this problem. Having said that your next actions should be totally based on how willing you are to "poke the bear." If from your story, they have gone the way of money being their god, then I would use that. Truth is your best weapon and if you...

    Question for All

    Hi, so we started a small publishing company over a year ago and have been doing a magazine for the most part. But in about one to two months we will be publishing a Christian Science Fiction book. This book will be the first in a long series of books to which others are also contributing to...

    LOL, strange I would have said the same thing about your Angel theory that it makes no sense at all.

    House Church Info.

    Hello LenKin, I don't know how others feel about it but internet-based fellowships are extremely difficult to maintain. The Body was really designed for face-to-face interactions, Sorry. Oh, FYI when people die they do not become Angels. Angels are created beings just like you and me. Jesus was...

    House Church Info.

    Hmmm, where do I begin? My Christian history started with a very odd blend of Baptist and Vineyard eventually leading me to start a house church. It grew and was totally awesome as we kept it centered on the presence of God. Eventually, the Lord had us sell and move to the other side of the...
