We know it's okay to be angry. The Bible says to not sin in our anger, though. At one point does our anger become sin? Society would say someone has an anger problem if the person flips. Jesus flipped tables in the temple. We know Jesus never sinned. Yet it would be considered not just...

I know this forum gets heated at times. I can't control how any of you will react. You're going to do what you want regardless of asking to keep it civil. Having said that, this is something that has crossed my mind in the past, and has come up again. How does God's will coincide with the free...

Normally break ups don't end well. Albeit because the couple had a falling out. Or because the two tried to be friends, but it made matters worse.. the latter happened a few months back with my ex. Mental health got in the way. Nothing bad was said about the other, though. I was actually told by...

This isn't to poke at the Sabbath. I don't care if a person has the Sabbath on a Sunday, Saturday, or Monday. Or even decides to mix it up each week. I posted this because my family is all doing some kind of work as I type this, while I was watching football. I don't understand how people use...

Am I the only one that notices there seems to be less and less Trump ads, and more and more Hillary ads? Every channel at some point there's a Hillary commerical, yet I can't remember when the last Trump campaign had one.

I ask because my Celebrate Recovery pastor has been terminated immediately of his position. It comes as a surprise because we were scheduled to have a CR meeting on Friday night at his place for all the new leaders. I understand if a pastor steals from the congregation or commits another type of...

I've noticed this more and more lately... If Jesus tells is to come as we are (broken and all), why do we have to put on our "Sunday best" at church, pretending all is okay? If someone says "Hey brother, how are you?" you're expected to say "feeling great, brrother. God is good". Saying exactly...

So I came across debates in different threads about being blessed and a few examples were being thrown around. Thought it's be appropriate to use them.. It seems like your typical Christian "I'm so blessed." Your typical Christian has a job. House. Family. Etc. These are all nice blessings. I've...

How does one not sin when getting angry? Please hold the verses where it says not to go to bed while still angry. I already know that. That doesn't change the fact of this thread being created. If anger can easily become a problem many of us have, how is it okay to have an emotion but not sin...

I came across an article that talked about how Christians nowadays always try to use God for each reasoning. It ultimately talked about how the typical Christian believes God is behind everything and everything happens for a reason. The author said we as the church needed to stop this thinking...

So my church is going to start the Daniel fast this weekend. Has anyone done it before? If so, what was your experience like?

So I had this discussion with a friend last night, and he basically believes that you say a prayer, then sit on your hands and knees and do nothing until God answers said prayer. He also believes that fellowship and discipleship are "half-baked truths" and that if someone takes part in something...

So, I bought this book a week or so ago and just started reading it. It's called No More Christian Nice Guy, and basically says being nice is contrary to the Bible, and how people confuse being nice with being good. What is your opinion of nice and good? I'd also like to hear some input from...

This seems to be a topic more as of late, and after reading Psalms 139 last night, this kinda came into mind.. What does it mean to be confident? What does it mean to know who you are under Jesus Christ? Psalms 139 talks about how God knows us before we are even in our mother's womb, and how we...
