    Prayers Against Porn Addiction

    Greetings to all, and thank you already for clicking on this prayer request. A very close friend of mine is making amazing progress recovering from a 3-year porn addiction. I have enough of a Psychology/Counseling background to be give more than a little support--for which I'm immensely...

    Prayers for a Spiritual Seeker

    Greetings to all! My church has begun a program called Alpha, which is designed for all Christians, and even non-Christians who are just exploring spirituality. Yesterday, we had one such non-Christian come, who said she wasn't a believer, but wanted more spiritual friends, and was very...

    The best ONE question to get to know someone?

    "What do you want to do with your life?" There was an old man in Whiting, IN, who asked me this question. I talked with him for maybe three minutes. But in that one question, I had to re-examine myself, and my response to what otherwise would've been small talk, suddenly became a conversation...

    Where to start Church history, after Acts?

    So I'll be teaching a Church History class in the near future, to students who are already familiar with Acts & the rest of the New Testament (the usual starting point for Church history--for very good reason!) I still plan to recap a little, but when we get into it, I don't want to focus on...

    Best music videos?

    Since I integrate music into my lessons sometimes, I have a separate playlist for Christian & Jewish music. There's a few others in there that aren't Christian music per se, such as the healing harp music; that's one that I use when teaching 1 Samuel, to help explain David's music therapy with...

    Good YouTube channels for Church history?

    So I really like history, and I really like the Church. Which means James Hitchcock's "History of the Catholic Church" was my single favorite textbook in college! But I'm a teacher now, and I have found animated YouTube videos to be one of the best teaching aids. The Bible Project* has...

    Best music videos?

    There are multiple guitar solos in the playlist...what makes Teeth of the Hydra demonic? And the Thunderstruck cover is a flamenco guitar solo, turning a familiar melody into something truly beautiful, and insanely talented. A lot of the "kids these days" only know rap, pop, bro country, and a...

    Best music videos?

    So I'm a high school teacher, not a music teacher, but I still love playing music in the classroom during passing periods. I'm assembling a playlist of the best music videos I find, mostly rock right now, but I'll be expanding it as I find more good videos & songs. So my contribution is the...

    Post a Lyric!

    [Verse 1] On a long and lonesome highway, east of Omaha You can listen to the engine moanin' out his one note song You can think about the woman or the girl you knew the night before But your thoughts will soon be wanderin' the way they always do When you're ridin' sixteen hours and there's...

    Social Media Posts for Pride Month? (For Christians)

    There is still 1 question you haven't answered...which groups of sinners do you want nothing to do with, and which groups are you willing to accept?

    Social Media Posts for Pride Month? (For Christians)

    I would still appreciate an answer before a reversal of my question...but since your reversal may be paving the way for your answer, here is my response. Short answer: Yes. Because accepting a person in no way implies an acceptance of their beliefs. Furthermore, it paves the way for dialogue...

    Social Media Posts for Pride Month? (For Christians)

    Politeness is a good start. If I may ask...what other kinds of sinners do you want nothing to do with? And what kinds of sinners do you allow to be with you?
