    Mental illness or Demonic oppression?

    I think making broad claims like this give Christianity a bad reputation. I would never make a claim like this, there are so many other possibilities.

    The Pilgrims Progress

    I saw the movie and thought it was great, very inspirational and encouraging. I read the book a long time ago and have a paperback version, but downloaded a more modern English version for my Kindle. I also ordered about 6 copies of the CD to send to Christian friends and family for them to...

    A warning from God

    But it hasn't acutually happened. Stay calm and report back if anything actually happens. There is no proof this is from God. People have "visions" for a variety of medical problems or because they are on powerful perscription drugs etc. I had some pretty crazy dreams once when I was in the...

    Is boredom an issue in your life?

    My TV died in the late 1990's sometime. I never replaced it. YouTube tends to make up for it, but I try to read more.

    Speaking Truth in a Culture of Unbelievers

    I don't think we have to tip toe around the word sin. I would use it and see how the individual responds to it. That will tell you a lot about what their position and attitude is. If they don't know what it means, define it for them, I doubt you will run into many that don't already know. If...

    Fear has paralyzed me and now I'm helpless

    Everyone has fears and many other problems, you are not alone in this. But the believer in Christ has a solution, a hope based on the the Word of God and the development of the "mind of Christ". This is not a quick solution, it takes time and commitment. You grow in faith and spiritual...

    Robot 'Killed' After Being 'Run Over' By Self-Driving Tesla There's video

    The idiot checking the robot never looks at the oncoming traffic. Did he think he was immune to being the next victim? Maybe he is a designer with blind faith in his self-driving creations.

    How mysticism is undermining Bible Christianity today

    But Paul wrote this in AD 61 prior to the completion of the canon of scripture. In other words there was still lots of objective revelation to come from the writers of scripture.

    How much should I know about God?

    Sorry, I left out one of the ten essence of God characteristics: eternal life.

    How much should I know about God?

    I wouldn't get obsessed with trying to understand every little event. Sovereignty is just one of ten aspects of divine essence. Most if not all of them are very difficult for the finite human mind to understand. We get a glimpse now and in eternity a much greater understanding. The essence...

    My hair is thinning and falling out. I need prayers.

    Seems to me you now have two good reasons to see a doctor; your hair is falling out and you can't get pregnant. Confess your sins of fear and worry, trust in God, and go see a doctor. As long as you are filled with the Spirit, your prayer for yourself is just as effective as anyone else's...

    Travel and home security

    Being away for 6 - 8 weeks is a long time. How about a locked gate & private property sign at the beginning of your 1 mile driveway. Whenever I go on a trip I take normal precautions but put up a prayer and ask God to protect my property while I am gone. Our lives are in His hands. Disaster...

    Is it wrong for cristians to be emo

    If I understand what you are asking: Emotions are the appreciators of life. They follow, they do not lead. They respond they do not initiate. What you think is what you are and what you should think is what the scripture teaches us.

    Day 2 being sober

    "Trying" is where addicted people start in giving it up. Then they discover the degree of the strength of their addiction. They try, they fail, they try, they fail. That's when determination has to kick in or you just cycle in and out of addiction. So Bingo does have a point. You must be...

    Is cleanliness next to godliness?

    If you google it, it says John Wesley (1703 -1791) first used the phrase in a sermon. How often you wash is a personal decision but should take into account consideration for others and your own health needs. Today, physical washing is not directly related to anything spiritual. In the...

    Please suggest good Christian movies

    I have to say I am very leery of any Christian film that has someone playing Christ with a speaking role, especially when and they are not quoting scripture but making up new dialog for Christ. Very iffy territory, disrespectful, speculative, and I think a wrong move for any Christian or...
