    Is it bad that I don't enjoy singing praise in church? 😂

    Thanks for the responses. The sermon part I really usually don't have any problems with. I just don't enjoy the singing because the music is not to my preference. What gets me conflicted is that I'm often told that the singing is equally important, and I used to be fine with the same band. It's...

    "Levels" of reward in Heaven?

    Wait, please explain this. I've never heard of this teaching before. Do you mean that the Church (Christians) will reside in Heaven, but there are other nations who gets to live on Earth? Who are these"saved nations" and how are they different from the Chruch?

    Is it bad that I don't enjoy singing praise in church? 😂

    The chruch my family goes to is the type that has this 30 min singing segment when the worship starts. They're not the super fancy lights and shows type, but there is a band. Now I used to be fine with this, but the past few years this just makes me cranky? The worship leader is the type that...

    "Levels" of reward in Heaven?

    Oh, so there's a difference between inhabiting and inheriting the Kingdom. I've not really ever thought of it that way. Going to have to look at that some more. Sounds interesting :unsure: Ooh, bookmarking that for later viewing.

    Christian view on "night owl" life?

    I'm a freelance illustrator. I do have work in the day, but it starts later in the day (past noon), so I tend to go to bed like 2 AM and then wake up at 10 or so. It's not insomnia, because it's not that I can't sleep. I just feel like I can focus better at night. I do have sleepless nights...

    "Levels" of reward in Heaven?

    There is this oft-spoken believe in the local churches here that there are "reward tiers" in Heaven depending on what you do here on Earth. I never really got a proper since that's not what the church I go to claim, and the people I talk to are apparently just quoting something their pastor had...

    Christian view on "night owl" life?

    That's what I thought too, that surely there can be allowances made because modern society is quite different than the life of the Biblical era. But then I often get responses such as "no smoking is also not in the Bible, but you shouldn't amoke because it's not healthy" :LOL:

    Christian view on "night owl" life?

    I dunno if this has bee discussed yet but... I'm curious if anyone has any opinion on the "night owl" lifestyle. The Bible talks about rising early and everything, but I personally feel like I work better at night? Everyone around me keeps saying it's just habit, but secular sources would say...

    Parents...

    Thank you. Honestly, it's not at all interrogation, I just feel that way because of the bad feelings I feel towards them. Normal questions such as "what did you do today" feel intrusive :confused: I don't really know why myself...

    Hello, I'm new

    Hello! In my area, Christianity is not persecuted, praise God. It's just that, in many places in Asian culture, the typical attitude when facing problems is "Just tough it out". And unfortunately in my experience attempting to ask the church pastor for help was met with a similar response (pray...

    Parents...

    Hello, I don't know if there's a thread to ask for advice, but prayer would help. I have been butting heads with my parents for a long time, and it's to the point that I'm wary and suspicious of evetyhing they do or say. Even innocuous questions feel like interrogation,, and I fear their...

    Hello, I'm new

    Hi everyone. I don't want to be depressing with my intro, but I'm having difficult time in spiritual life and I'm not able to find help/guidance in the church I attend. By grace of God I have not lost my faith, but I have been disillusioned by the people around me. I'm hoping to find advice...
