Hi everyone. I'm Derek. One week ago I asked Jesus to reaccept me as one of his flock. My life has continued to spiral south.

I am here to find people who can help coach me through this pain. I want to become part of a greater community of people with my belief system.
 
Hi Derek, welcome here, hope you find good contacts and a good community. blessings

Thank you for the response. I'm gonna use it to tell more about myself. I am a 48 year old man, USMC veteran. I was raised as a Baptist but due to where I lived. I attended Catholic Mass as a teenager. I was never confirmed or baptized.

Around age 23, I stopped attending any services and shortly after lost my connection with God. I seek that acceptance and forgiveness by Jesus Christ and pray that it leads me to a congregation and people who can accept me despite my faults .

Glad to meet you Derek.
Is This < what you mean?
I would listen twice and pray at the end. It explains a lot of reasons why we sometimes suffer. This is not the only reason we suffer. I can feel your pain. There are a handful of us on this forum that are going through tough times. The Lord is our Helper and Comforter. May we all pray for one another. I will add you too.

Welcome!

^ Gospel of John is often recommended as a great place to start reading the Bible.
This movie is a word-for-Word portrayal of John's gospel.

Also, please check out the Alpha Course.




There are 10 videos total. I hope you watch them. They could benefit you greatly .:)

Thank you so much for sharing that. I will watch everyone of them. Your response and all others mean a lot to me right now.

As an aside, I am very interested in and practice meditation. I don't know the correct forum to post questions about Christian meditation in. I am wanting to be cautious of accepting false Christianity or negative and false ideology. If anyone can point me to the correct forum for asking those questions that would be fantastic.

You are ever so very much welcome! I am gladdened to hear you will watch them. I have seen them at least three times, for I went through the course myself twenty years ago, at which time I converted and was baptized, and then again as a volunteer with my church at least twice, and have also watched odd bits of the videos on my own here and there. They are jam packed with info, history, facts and interviews with various people all regarding the Christian faith, and are a very rich resource! As to where it would be appropriate for asking about Christian meditation, I think the Miscellaneous Forum may suffice, and you could also do a search using the word meditation specified as being in the title. Searches use the little magnifying glass in the upper right-hand corner of the page. If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask!

"There are many reasons one may decide it is time to turn to God, and I hope your reason
is confronted with hope, courage and to know, most likely everyone has at some point come to
realize that God was and is needed in our lives. I urge you to guard your heart, and not let worldliness
take away the need of acquiring a spiritual heart."
 
Hi and welcome to the fellowship and fun here at CC! So glad the Lord led you here, God bless & keep you always🙏✝🔯
