I do not respond on Christian forums very often but I just want to add a couple thoughts. It is correct that we do not know Shannon's walk in life with the Lord. She might very well be saved and we do not know positively that she even made that comment. However, if she did make that comment, it...

Thank you to everyone for your comments and input. The pastor has said something to the whole congregation a couple times. What he said did feel somewhat judgmental. I spoke to him and he said that that was not his intent at all. I just don't think he realizes how it comes across. I've not had a...

I am looking for thoughts or views on raising hands during praise. I am 65 and was saved and baptised at 11. In the churches I have previously attended, we just sat still and listened. In the last church I attended, we did not even stand to sing. I moved and began attending a local church that...

The main thing is that you attend church and worship. It is better to attend a different church than to want to attend your same church but not be able to and then wind up not attending church at all. I have a friend who lives about an hour east of Dallas and she and her husband have been...

I know that I am late to this thread but...first, church members are normally (or at least should be) happy to help each other out. Are there other church members who could pick you up on Sundays? Also, does your church post services online? If so, invite a neighbor or someone to go to your...

I am really commenting on your statement that you keep getting into trouble with money. You had also said that you get manic multiple times per year. Mania is sometimes (even many times) accompanied by unrealistic spending without seeing any consequences. One thing you might do is to protect...

I was "saved" as a child. I grew up thinking I was saved. I believed in God and Jesus and believed that Jesus dies for my sins. I wanted more than anything to be saved. I have sinned and quit going to church for many years but still prayed and always asked myself "What would Jesus do?" Now, I...

I have looked at different ways to witness. I have always had conversations and have used other means to witness. However, I would like to look more at online witnessing but I am looking for suggestions for the best ways to do that.

I struggled with that and decided on what works for me. I may not continue a relationship with a person in order to protect myself but I do try to understand the root of their actions (they felt backed into a corner, etc.), I harbor no ill will and I truly hope the best for them. I pray for...

Thank you, you are right and I will read The Practice of the Presence of God

I have a job that I love and am good at but it requires very long hours (60-70 hrs per week) but I am also able to donate more to church and to charities. I am going to church Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings and I start each day with a bible reading and a prayer and end each day the same...
