    Hearing voices telling me i have the call to the ministry

    Hello all, some of you may have seen my other posts where I wrote about hearing voices. I still do; a legacy, I feel, of my long time of drug and alcohol addiction. For a while now they've been trying to convince me that they're the call to becoming an ordained Christian minister. I have no...

    Thinking of posting this on some pro-drug websites or atheist web sites. Thoughts? Opinions? Helpful criticism welcome!

    Hello all! please give me some ideas on where to go with this post. It's intended for "psychonauts" as some terms themselves: those who use drugs for recreation for their supposed mind-expanding properties. IMO, when you expand your mind and don't only use such sub stances medicinally, a devil...

I'm a member of the evangelism team at my church. but we don't meet regularly or anything...

    How drugs, ignorance, and pride can ruin a man.

I'm a struggling Christian. I've been constantly under attack from what i...

    How I learned to deal with my voices

    When I say testing, what i meant was asking them if Jesus Christ came in the flesh, as is required in Scripture to test spirits. A lot of the time., they try to say something like "he came in the flashlight" or something along those lines. It's obvious they're trying to twist words, so I...

    How I learned to deal with my voices

    Actually, I ended up joining the Global Methodist Church. Anyway, time for an update: I have found that engaging the voices with Scripture has been quite helpful. Prayer also quiets them, especially when done before a crucifix I mounted up on my wall. It's a nice one, not exactly in the best...

    Angels on Assignment

    I know I felt something in a hospital once. I was still unbaptized and a methamphetamine addict at the time, and it was Ash Wednesday, though i had not realized that beforehand. I spoke with one of the hospitals chaplains - a nice lady who's name i unfortunately don't remember. She had the...

    Be Careful of What Your Child Reads

    Oh, I know all about sugar myself. I'm pre-diabetic and have to watch it too. it's all over my mom's side of the family.

    A former atheist & drug worshipper's testimony

    Whoops, made some important additions: Ah.... It was the voices I heard (and still hear) after becoming addicted to methamphetamine. I'm now off of it, thanks be to Jesus Christ, though it's still a struggle. But those voices, they don't just spout random gibberish, though at first they tried...

    Be Careful of What Your Child Reads

    Be Careful of What Your Child Reads When I was a child, in middle school. I ran across some books that changed my life for the worse. I do not remember the titles, nor who published them. But, they were on drugs: marijuana, methamphetamine, cocaine, etc. I read them – I was (and still am) a...

    At what point did the church that was established in Rome...

    From what I've read, the Pope actually is the legitimate leader of Christandom. Christ is the head of the church, and passed on apostolic succession to Saint Peter, who became the first Pope. It's been passed down from leader to leader to the present day. Protestantism, founded by Martin Luther...
