I think some people don't take their responsibility seriously when they have a child and decide not to take care of it or have someone else raise that child. I see that a lot with grandparents taking on the role of parent because the parent is too busy working or doing drugs to take...

I believe that also. I've always considered my work with families to be my ministry and calling. Does that mean it is the only thing God has called me to? Nope I think using Jonah as an example was a poor choice on your part. Jonah experienced the disciplining hand of God because of his...

I think you missed the point. I will give you an example. I knew a lady back in 1988 who volunteered to teach children's VBS. She had never taught before, but felt God calling her to volunteer and took a step of faith and agreed to do it. I met her the day before VBS started and she was...

I am curious if any of you have used either personally or in the churches you attend the "Experiencing God" material by Henry Blackaby and Claude King? I went through it first about 25 years ago and thought it was really profound. One of Henry's sons was in my Sunday School class when I was in...

An exercise company trying to reach people who exercise. Who would have thought. . .

glad to hear you got help. I started cpap last year and went from 26.2 to 2.8 AHI.

my understanding what he said is that many believers today are use to spiritual milk and not solid food due to their spiritual immaturity. similar to what is mentioned in 1 Corinthians 3:1-4 Brothers and sisters, I could not address you as people who live by the Spirit but as people who are...

My son is being admitted to the hospital today due to sickness and stuff related to his diabetes

the thing is that the main pastor doesn't preach every single Sunday. There are days and series that he has other pastors bring the message

one of the reasons I don't attend the church with home groups is that they meet on weekday evenings and I am still working late then, so I couldn't be there anyway.

My cold is almost gone, so I'm happy for that. Going to go to a couple of schools today and have lunch with one of my clients at his school

The church I have recently started attending has about 130 or so in worship and averaging about 55 or so in Sunday School. Recenty there was a short survey in the bulletin about what could be done to change the Sunday School to get more people involved. I am not sure what the problem is in...

I would think that age and wisdom would make you more reluctant to judge another person not more willing. I can't and won't judge the pastor of this church or multi site churches. At least they are trying to spread the gospel which is more than a lot of Christians do. For whatever the reason...

Yes, you can judge the word being taught. I would think you would have to. You wouldn't want to sit under someone who is teaching heresy. But, that is not what was being referred to here. It seems that judgment was being made about another person's motives which isn't possible since only God...

sounds like your judging another person's motives there.

Well, not everyone has the ability or interest to teach, so having a variety of places to serve means that more people are feeling a part of what is going on. The truth is that if you have a role somehow in what happens on Sunday morning it is probably more likely that you will show up because...

In a few months the Democrats will have their first primaries and some people will be dropping out of the race for President as the choice narrows. One really big decision that the nominee has to make is who to pick for a running mate as VP. How big of a deal to you is this really and would it...

from what I have seen there is a emphasis also the congregation serving. It is just that instead of the church starting a lot of ministries itself they partner with groups that are already doing ministry work in the community. An example would be that a group of church member serving at the...

how is it perverted or lazy?

rainy, gross and cold today
