Dear friend in Christ: Get the guilt out. It can be easy to overcomplicate fasting, but here are a couple of things that are good to bear in mind: 1. God commanded His people to fast only once a year! On the Day of Atonement (cf. Leviticus 16:29. All other fasts were practised either out of...

Oh, that’s very interesting! Thank you for sharing! I’m not always aware of what that goes on in America as I’m in the UK and tasked with missions to Asia. But I’m very sorry to hear about the predicament. Still, I’m glad to hear you’re recognised! Thanks be to God! If there’s anything I can...

Wait, what? I had no idea you studied with us! When was this? :) (I'm terribly sorry if we've talked about this before — my memory isn't very good! I'm making an effort now to be a bit more connected with our seminarians by running a Discord server for our church) But yeah, Gerberding's good!

While I have the joy of serving in the church now, I have a background in art and games development, so I figured I'd offer some thoughts: I'm not sure Roblox is the best engine. It may appeal to people who like Robolox, and if we add to that a sub-demographic which is Christian or interested...

It's difficult to do in few words, but I think the best way is to very gently show them where they're wrong — specifically focusing on Jesus. I've done this on two different occasions and they didn't return. This way you (1) get your house flagged as a place they don't want to visit, and (2) you...

That’s wonderful! Keep it up!

I probably won't be able to follow the reading plans, but I'm glad to join! I'm trying to get into using Discord a bit more.

Jeg kan snakke norsk, ja! But I haven’t lived in Norway for many years. English is my default language now, though I do speak Norwegian to my kids. But they speak to me in Japanese. :)

I haven’t tried this one, but it should be a pretty standard recipe. I’m not sure what measurements you use, but you can convert them on Google easily by searching, for example, “grams and to <your preferred measurement>” Lefse ingredients: - 100 grams butter (for baking) - 6 dl milk - 20 dl...

I was born and raised in Norway and I'd be glad to translate a recipe for you if you like! :)

Very simply, we are called to always speak the truth with grace and to bear the consequences of that with patience and hope in Christ, who has promised to be with us in our suffering and to raise us to new life. And even if we fail in proclaiming the truth as we should or if we lie, we may...

Oh, sorry for misunderstanding! Welcome!

I’m sorry to hear you haven’t had a positive experience here! My own experience is that it has helped me grow as a Christian and to get a better understanding of my brothers and sisters in different branches of Christendom. I’m very interested in comparing theological systems and here I get to...

Hey, congratulations on your confirmation @JM The grace and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ to you!

Thank you! And to you! :)
