Welcome to CC :) For me "prayer needs" seem to function differently for a lot of people. Let's say you had a burden for a particular person appear out of nowhere and you pray about it and you start to see things happen for that person eventually... it didn't happen out of "nowhere"...the Lord...

Can you post a link to the video when it's posted? I looked on YT and found stuff a year old and 3 weeks ago but those can't be it if it was super recent. I guess I could do a date search but I keep forgetting how to do that reliably alas.

WB...I presume you all are talking about the App?

Well @SteveEpperson There's a lot in your post that I particularly like. Specifically the teaching thing. I once read a little bit of a book while I was tanning (might as well make use of the time) and it was about making disciples using a similar theory of exponential growth. Since it...

That's considerably cheaper than I thought it would be. Even the sum of one book would be great depending on the day/mood but "still" idk how I'd feel about wearing it. The idea has been logged away for a bit though because I thought it had some potential. It's hard NOT to meditate on the word...

Would this work similarly with a drowning though? I would have thought that for water being in someone's lungs that forcing air in would be useful...

Great inroduction @Eshet_chayil ...Most people don't share so much so fast but I'm glad you did. Especially the part about God "not letting you fall too far"...I've experienced that in my life too but it's hard to see sometimes. The lonliness I also feel but being "together alone" is something...

People are bound to make mistakes though aren't they? I mean when it comes to teaching or preaching. I've pondered this for quite a while and can't come up with a real answer. Even presuming that a pastor is working in conjunction with the Holy Spirit, are they a direct mouthpiece? Is it holy...

Yeah I had to go with generic keywords but I found a website that does it...it was from an advert I saw maybe 2 years ago and I thought there was no reason why you couldn't do the bible also. Might have to do custom though and I don't have the inclination to if it's more than $100 (which is...

Yeah my brother has a shirt that opens a door to conversation and it works for him but I definitely don't think it's for everyone. Certainly isnt for me, although I do like those Tshirts that have everything microprinted to the point where you can get the entire bible on a shirt. A few books or...

I didn't realize it was against the rules in any way lol. I had a magazine looking bible that I read just to avoid confrontation. I recall debating quite a bit if I was being "ashamed" or not but at the same time reading a bible that was obviously a bible was akin to wearing "jesus shirts"...

That reminds me of when I was about 6 or 7 at a singles retreat with my dad down in Destin Florida we went to a mall and it was like a smorgasbord of stuff like that. Tickets. TICKETS. tickets.... That sort of stuff was quite alluring to me for a long time. With tickets you feel rich as a child...

Well...I have no real issue with the mystery of the trinity. It's beyond me and that's OK. I could share how I understood things as a child if that would help but mostly the distinctions were irrelevant. In brief, I wanted to be with the Father forever. Whoever made all this stuff (planets...

Welcome man, foruming is definitely a different pace than most ways to fellowship with people but it is unique in allowing most everyone to "have their say"...sometimes not the best thing but nobody gets left out at least. If this isn't your first forum that's cool too :P Peace be with you.

Didn't Paul say "what business have I judging those outside the church?" Or some such? We are to judge those inside the church but not by being "judgmental". Heinous sin with a pastor and a congregant...no we shouldn't judge. Uh no, that isn't what that means. No we aren't called to give...

Sowing and reaping... I think sometimes believers forget that Jesus didn't ever say within the law of liberty that you no longer reap what you sow. Still do and our body is one of the best "tells" on when this is happening. I do think God is gracious enough to mitigate some of the worst...

I bounce around and keep an open mind to people. People ARE the church. I might find 1-2 people at the MOST that I connect with and I feel it is MY responsibility to network further and find fellowship and community with those people. I feel like God sets up the happenstance that ends up in...

I don't think the Lord likes it much no. It's pretty fleshly though not necessarily sinful. As in there may be exceptions to it being sinful (certain mindsets/heartsets etc) but for the most part? Also to him who does not know... Anything that doesn't feed the spirit and simply feeds the flesh...

Other than felt board stuff, I don't recall much in the early years that particularly "stuck out". Veggie tales I did watch but that was in the 7-8 range I think. I DO recall having a Kids Quest NIrV bible that has a lot of cartoons in it and I definitely read all of those rather than...

Well...I'm not a parent and this IS awkward to talk about but SO WHAT? If I could impress on someone how important it really is to have an open conversation regardless of it being "uncomfortable" then I'll share my story...but I really don't want to because it's pretty personal. I will say...
