    Concern for a Brother Who Has Abandoned the Church

    Hebrews 10:25 does not permit us to neglect being part of a church regardless of how we feel.

    Concern for a Brother Who Has Abandoned the Church

    Forgive the length of this post, but I want to be clear. Recently, a brother and active member of our church, a congregation of about 400, suddenly resigned his membership and ceased attending. He had significant responsibilities: leading a ministry, occasionally speaking at events, and...

    Boredom at Work

    So this actually happened. I should have mentioned. I used to not be the IT manager. The former IT manager was fired for not taking his job seriously and missing work. I stepped up to take on all the responsibilities. My current boss who is in charge of the whole state is somewhat aware of the...

    Boredom at Work

    I work an office job that pays well and gives me a lot of responsibility. I'm the regional IT manager for a company that has a half a dozen offices around my state. Despite that I find I have very little to do. The work I have comes extremely easy for me. I'm able to plan and deploy projects in...

    Spiritual Warfare in Evangelism

    Hopefully I am posting this in the right place. Forgive me if I'm not. I've been thinking about my attempts of evangelism over the years and while I've never once been successful at leading someone to saving faith, I've noticed a similar theme. Every time I have convinced someone to come to...

    How Long Should I Allow an Unbelieve to Stay with Me?

    Hello all, Recently, a former coworker of mine broke up with his girlfriend of 6 years that he was living with. He's an unbeliever, but he's been receptive/interested in the gospel as long as I've known him. He has not accepted Christ yet as he said he doesn't want to give up his vices, he's...

    Is it wise for a founding pastor to leave a young church?

    There's a church in my area that I attended for a couple of years early in my faith. I left not over sin issues or arguments, but needing to make things right and needing accountability. I know several people who attend there still, and just recently, the founding pastor at the church, the lead...

    Does everything have to be the gospel?

    What's tricky is that Jesus does say to follow him, but following his message is following the messenger, but people think they're better off just following the messenger.

    Does everything have to be the gospel?

    Very true, but I think what people at my church is saying is that the only things that are worth emphasizing above all else at any given time that Jesus said are things pertaining to his death burial and resurrection.

    Does everything have to be the gospel?

    Hello all, Recently as I've learned more theological concepts and ways of thought, I've come to the realization that my church embraces a biblical theology that prioritizes the gospel above all else. Now that's obviously not a bad thing, but what I mean is that everything stems around Jesus...

    What do you think is a good timeline for someone trying to get into ministry?

    Hello all, I was wondering what people think is a good/biblical timeline for someone going from considering the call to ministry and going into ministry/starting seminary. I've been at churches that do it differently. One smaller church of about 100 people that I used to be at would put someone...
