Thank you, Papou. I have recently heard the word of the bible which says something like "do not scatter your jewels before swine," or something to that effect. I think this means that we should preserve our heavenly thoughts for those who are prepared to receive them. God bless.

MrH59, levl85, EmilyFoster, and thespiritoftruth: I'd like to thank you all, and pray that you all receive guidance through the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Hi Deade, thank you for your friendly welcoming. God bless you. I've come to recognize His helping hand in my life, during times I was lacking faith. He truly is amazing to be there for me and keeping me safe when all else was failing around me. God bless you. Hi von1, thanks for your welcome...

Thank you for your prayers for Stephen. It means a lot to me. I have just arrived home from my first bible study group meeting with my new Christian friends. We were studying the book of Romans. Quite compelling. I was in the local area, where the bible study group is, getting to know a little...

Feel free to contribute prayers, as you like. Firstly, Lord: I'd like to ask you to help my elderly friend, Jocelyn who is hospitalized at the moment for some form of mental illness. I pray that she finds some much needed direction and comfort in her new found life. That she will find...

Dear Lord, I pray for Salamandrina; that Salamandrina may have your love and guidance through the Holy Spirit. Please let Salamandrina's heart, and mind be accepting, and open to your blessings, and that you may speak to her in her day to day life, so that she may be witness to your marvels, as...

Thanks for all your prayers. It means a lot to me. God bless.

Thank you oldethennew, I suppose true empathy comes with understanding the other person. I went to an NA meeting tonight where there is little support for the Christian faith, and I had the courage to include the fact that I'm attending a church during my time to share. I ended up concluding...

Certainly are, oldethennew :) Could you elaborate what it means to be Jesus' Soldiers'? God bless. I'm striving to live for Him, to live according to His ways, and, as I mentioned earlier - am getting to know Jesus through reading the first four Scriptures - Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. I'm...

Thank you for your contribution on this issue MultilingualMessenger. You shed further light on this subject and my issues which I will be facing. I'd like to tell you, and all who are interested, that I prayed for my family and friends to find the Lord, to love God, as I do sometime in the near...

Hi Diane, welcome to Christian Chat! I'm a recently returned Christian, and new to this site as well. Also, I'd like to welcome Susej! Hope you have a nice stay here as well. God bless you all.

I attended the last Alpha course of the Kyneton Baptist Church, yesterday afternoon/night. There, a video was played to us all, and related to "letting our light shine (in the Lord)", and of persuading others to follow Him. I was touched, as this is something I'm struggling with at the moment. I...

Hi Adstar, what a blessing that you found your way back here! I'd like to address your words "I think it is a good idea to take the time to be built up in the knowledge of salvation before you go go out and engage in hard discussions with family members.." I'm fearful that I wouldn't be...

I'm from Bendigo, Victoria; Australia. I moved around a lot of my life but I've been around this area for the better part of 26 years.

Thank you Adstar, your post has been helpful. I have "worshiped" my mother, and given my step dad too much authority over my life choices. This is something I need to differentiate between regarding our Lord, God almighty, and my parents. I recently learned during a sermon, that there are four...
