Is there a flag in your church building? Outside on a flagpole? On the platform where your pastor preaches? My church does not have US flag anywhere on church property and I am glad. God before country. Plus it would be a distraction, especially if there was one on the platform. What say you?

Would you feel better about your pastor's understanding of theology if you knew you both voted for the same person for POTUS?

How about an alternative to Johnson, trump and hillary? Yes, he is Mormon, but we need to get over ourselves with this religion mandate. He is not in the ballot in every state, YET, but maybe with your help, he will be. I'm most likely voting for Evan McMullin. https://www.evanmcmullin.com/

We do have choices other than trump or hillary for the next POTUS. Please check out Evan McMullin - He's a Mormon, but we need to realize that his religion is NOT a barrier to doing the job well. https://www.evanmcmullin.com/ and Johnson / Weld - these guys are Republicans running on the...

All of this recent discussion about guns and personal safety got me thinking about age and carrying and operating a gun. Our abilities, reflexes and faculties diminish as we age. At some point, all of us, if we lived long enough, should stop driving a car or use other equipment. I think the...

I wrote this for a women's conference breakout session where I was one of the presenters. I am posting this in the singles forum here because I think all of it applies to men too: What every Christian single woman should know: Don't EVER buy into the mindset that there is something...

Hello - I am looking for some more sources for sound Biblical teaching via podcasts or smartphone Apps. Would you please share some online sources with us? Here are several of mine: blueletterbible.org (many commentaries and teachings from a variety of teachers, both podcasts and the text)...

Hello - Should we (the West - Europe, US...) be concerned about the spread of Muslims in areas outside of the Middle East and Northern Africa? Should I be concerned if Muslims have established a mosque in my community? Is there such a thing as a Muslim who isn't interested in making England, the...

Hi! I have uploaded a profile picture and it is on the left side of the settings page where you upload profile pictures, but it is not showing up in the little squares next to my posts. The file size is small enough. I logged out and got back into Christian Chat. Did I do something wrong? Thanks!

I am in a small group and for the last year, one person has had a never ending prayer request surrounding the weddings of her daughters and their dad, who is somewhat estranged from the family. Their dad has been terminally ill for 6 months - his health prognosis has gone up and down. His...

Hi! I am looking for more online sources for good solid Bible teaching and sermons that I can listen to. Are there any suggestions? Here is my preference: No prosperity gospel (obviously) No Benny Hinn or others who really just want my money Teaching that speaks the truth but is guided by...

Hello - This is the 2nd year I have hosted a missionary at my house for a stay in the US. My church hosts a 2 week learning experience for missionaries from around the world. These are missionaries that we (my church) supports and others who are recommended to join us. If any of you have the...

Have you read any of the books that have been banned? Should parents screen books or should we let a secular organization decide what should be banned? Should "the church" ban secular books or suggest to parents that their children not read certain books? Should "the church" ban (or suggest...

Whose job is it to determine if someone is repentant? Ours or God's? Are we, as Christians, out of line if we make the determination that someone is or isn't acting, looking or behaving in a repentant way? Thanks!

As believers we are told to render onto Caesar what is Caesars. Well, what about his laws? I am thinking the same logic applies to the laws of your local jurisdiction and country. We are supposed to obey them regardless of how we feel or if we think they should apply to us. That goes for...

it is full of fluff - "good morning" "what is your favorite color/song/verse" "word association" "complete the phrase..." and the like -what is that all about. Let's get a bit more serious. Maybe I am in the minority and maybe I am a grump, but I dont want to chat about these misc topics that...

OK - If all things were the same (education, number of years experience, etc......) or if it was strictly commission job, should a man be paid more that a woman for the same job in the same company? If not, do you have any Biblical justification to support your viewpoint? A Christian friend...

What do you think the requirements should be for church membership? I know churches have different viewpoints on membership: no requirements at all, just show up; must submit info and sign some sort of belief statement; to submitting info and must follow strict rules. What do you think Jesus...
