I don't feel like I belong in the secular world because of my faith but I don't feel like I belong in the Christian world because of my mental illnesses. Does anyone else feel this way?

If you look the post "The upside of down" you will see that there is a theme of God redeems bad situations and He makes good come from the bad. My question is should we just let go and let God and wait for the good to come or should we take an active role in seeking out God's good works in a...

These are some of the notes I took in church this morning. God is creative. He takes what is evil and brings the good out of it. God didn't make this world broken, the fall did that. "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according...

So I really didn't want to go to church today but I did anyway and I am really happy for that. First: I went and when the singing started at the beginning of service I sat down and wrote a letter to God instead. No one stared at me and no one said anything so that made me feel good. :-)...

So I made an illustration as to what it looks like to have PTSD. Here it is: So you’re in a room. This room is your sense of safety and well being. This room is cozy with a lot of pillows and soft things. Everything you love and cherish is in this room from the smell of your mom’s homemade...

So this kind of relates to my Holy Spirit thread. When I went to church I took these sermon notes: Broken: night light (sermon series) -->"nobody should lift that alone" -->God did not intend for us to be alone in sufferings -->Romans 8:26-27 -->v.26: In the same way the Lord helps us...

I posted about this in the family forum...I need prayers for his heart that it be healed, for his relationship with God that it may be mended and that I will see a happy ending, that good will come of this situation. Thank you... I posted about it under "online friend"

Hi! I wanna start a general discussion on the Holy Spirit. Who is He? What's His role? What does He do? How does He work? How has He worked in your life? What does the Bible say about Him? Stuff like that. So have at it! :-)

I don't like to sing in church...church singing drives me up a wall. I love Christian music and hymes but I don't like singing in church. I think it goes back to high school when we had "line". It was where the whole school would gather together and be forced to say the pledge, read poems out...

So this may seem really dumb but my nephew has a thing for cyotes and yesterday he saw one on a walk in my neighborhood and I think he thought it was really cool. I was also happy cuz he didn't get eaten.

In the Bible there is a whole slew of verses about loving your enemies. I have some thoughts and some questions on that... Luke 6:27-36 V.35-36: Love your enemies! Do good to them. Lend to them without expecting to be repaid. Then your reward from heaven will be very great, and you will truly...

So I have heard SO many times "the church is full of broken people." Ok I GET IT!! Yes that's true but so is the world. Shouldn't the church be holding herself to a higher standard than this?? What do you think? Am I wrong for thinking this?

So there's this guy I used to know...his name is Brian...he lives all the way on the other side of the country from me. We had an online friendship for about 4 years and things were great at first then he stopped caring and didn't respond as much then he stopped responding all together. It...

I was thinking and a question popped in to my head: if it's not in the Bible is it relevant to our lives or true? Here's a simple example: "The sky is blue." Is that relevant to our lives? and is it true? Well I look outside and the sky is blue. So I have to conclude that's truth, however it's...

Hey Everyone! This is JFSurvivor and her boyfriend! Everything I have to say will be in pink and everything my boyfriend has to say will be in blue (to keep it simple and to stick with the CC thing where girls names are pink and boys are blue. I am not advocating for gender stereotypes!!) So...

So I know a lot of people have a hard time loving themselves. Not gonna lie...I have a hard time loving myself...so I'm starting this thread. Here's how it works: There will be a Bible study and a sharing section. The Bible study will be us studying what the Bible really says about us and...

I know I have posted about ICOC before but I am looking for answers. I hope most of you know my story with ICOC so I won't explain that again. I'm just wondering if anyone knows anything about this church and what I should do about the lies I was told. I posted a bunch of posts called "a mish...

My dad triggered me so now I'm at my grandpas trying not to have a meltdown. Would it be so hard for my mom to take me home? Would it really have been so hard for my mom to make up an exscuse to let me leave? Now I'm stuck here and miserable!! I just got my wisdom teeth taken out and I am so...

In all honesty I hate war. I feel like a lot of wars these days are due to the selfishness of politicians. I hate how certain holidays glorify America. Yeah we have a great country but we're not perfect. We have a pretty bad history tbh. :'( My family and I just drove by a display of flags put...
