Looked into this lovely, very active forum, a few times before joining and am now ready to join in. I am an old dear who thankfully, quite enjoys being old, you don't become a different person when you're in your 60s. Posting the About You segment from my profile, it offers some useful info about me:
"i'm an old dear who is new to belief in God, still feeling the joy and wonder of the realisation and trying to make up for so many wasted years. Strict Calvinists introduced me to the knowledge but what i have learned along the way, suggests that's too strict a path for me. Currently searching for the right place of worship and spiritual community for me, want to be baptised quickly when i have done so.
Charles Spurgeon's sermons and Pastor Mike Winger's videos/mp3s, appeal very much to me, as do publications by some Puritans. Keep in mind many Puritans consider Charles Spurgeon to have been one, what i've learned suggests they are very different to populist thinking."
Obviously advice from seasoned believers is truly welcome, have made several big changes in my life, such as ditching a lot of music, films, books etc. Currently applying the *If the Lord popped in for a coffee, how much stuff would i be kicking under the couch covers?* criteria. However, there's still some stuff i consider iffy but find it hard to let go of, such as Martial Arts/Wuxia films and a few other films like The Amazing Mr Blunden (1972) and Legend (1985) Would really appreciate advice from seasoned believers.
A pretty long intro from me, hope I've said a couple of things which might attract some replies, blessings to all for now.
