I'm having some difficulty at work. Not going to go into it, but I'd like some encouragement from those of you who prayed to get along better with co-workers, for favor with your boss, for promotions, for better work conditions... Anything work-related you prayed for (or someone else prayed...

Some of you may know from my postings in the past that I have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. And I can testify that I am not the same person when I am suffering through my episodes; I can't function in society and often need hospitalization for which my meds need to be adjusted or...

Hi all! Through the years of my Christian walk, as my perspective changed and whatnot, my thoughts on Joyce Meyer changed. I started my walk out listening to her, then I got away from her because she teaches a form of the prosperity gospel. Then I gave her a chance again. After listening to...

Hi all, I haven't posted on CC for about a year; I wonder if anyone's missed me! :) Since then, I've started working in a nursing home, in dietary aide. I pass trays, fix desserts, do dishes, bus tables, among a few other things. And sometimes, the job gets very stressful. Like when...

John 13:35 NASB "By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another." John 17:20-21 NASB 20 “I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word; 21 that they may all be one;even as You, Father, are in Me and I in...

Hi. Some may remember me mentioning being manic-depressive a couple of times. I recently had a two month relaspe, first one in five years. My husband had no frame of reference other than what I had shared with him before hand. But he educated himself and stuck by me. I feel the episode...

Haven't been in this forum for a while. I have felt convicted lately of a hardening of heart, and I'm distressed about this... Thinking on it, praying, writing about it. If you don't mind, I'd appreciate a swift mention in prayer. Thank you. :)

My fiirst blog... but I had to save and share! Wonderful!

There's variations of a meme that goes around about the Native American teaching of there being two wolves in each of us - a good and an evil one - and who we are depends on the one we feed the most. That is similar to the life of a Christian. When become Christian, we have this conscious...

Does anyone else get disheartened by this nation's hypocritical demand of perfection on others, and their sense of entitlement? Esp "Christians?" For example, people cry "you don't understand me!" when someone critiques their atttidues or perspective or faults, and throws the "well you have...

I believe I have come on too strong in the stay a virgin thread. I apologize (again) for offending people's traditions or understandings of Scripture. It's quite a revolutionary understanding that is seen as compromising and corrupt. Although it is hard to relate to that, at this point in my...

Paul told Timathy not to let the older believers dispise his youth. Paul was referencing Timothy's teaching, and by this implying it is possible to be young and yet more mature in Christ than older believers. So with gifts of the Spirit, for instance, some may say those who haven't experienced...

(or younger, if experience/learning lends you that) I was reading a thread about a struggle with pornography, and it got me pondering something. Without going into much detail, we all know there are various ways of experiencing sex/lovemaking mentally as well as physically. Putting aside the...

I was scrolling along, and I saw the sign - it's quite disturbing! file:///C:/Users/Jamie/Pictures/Ahhhh.png Please someone tell me I'm not going to become some fiend bent on global-domination, a hand-stamping maniac, albeit admired by the world...

here's a stupid question. I'm confused as to how to insert pictures into a thread post. I'll have the url that shows up for just that pic being in my browser, but I don't see the actual picture show up... or does it not until you have posted the post?

When it comes to new people who come to this site: Sure, there are trolls out there, who pose as inquisitive, but only mean to cause drama and strife. There are many of them. That said, we would do well to remember these are people we don't know, never met, and haven't even seen, on the other...

I'm just going to make this really short (or try): You've heard the Sinner's Prayer, leading someone in this to salvation. Without interjecting my thoughts (yet), how do you witness when opportunity comes? Or do you SEEK opportunity, as in street evangelism? How necessary is witnessing...

I'm sure we've all dealt with that person or people that we think "Geez, why can't she/he just consider what I think? Why can't she/he consider a different point of view?" I found an article that many of you may find helpful regarding this matter. :) Dealing With Close-Mindedness God bless.

http://www.kevinathompson.com/dangerous-assumption-gods-will/ In light of discussions I've had recently, I fed led to open a thread concerning this topic. There seems to be the common teaching and understanding that if we obey God, that He will bless us as WE want Him too, and that our lives...

I feel like taking a break from serious, theological discussion with people who don't debate honestly, to pose this question, in effort to make myself smile and feel warm from your responses. :) <3 How did you meet your spouse? If you're still dating or engaged, I'd like to hear your story...
