I think you guys are missing the point here. If your therapy needs are light, indeed prayer, and maybe, just maybe a Christian counselor, when available, is just the thing you need. I know God is an awesome God and all but if you have something severe , like PTSD, the only thing that would...

I've not seen this documentary but I'll tell you this much: The reason why a lot of people are fat , sick , and nearly dead is because: 1) Rising food costs have put things like raw foods out of the financial reach of most households. It becomes about what you can stretch to feed the family...

Part 2: How Pastors Get Rich It may come as a surprise to learn that their tithing doctrine is a combination of twisted scriptures and wishful thinking, as opposed to solid Biblical exegesis reflecting a central thrust of New Testament teaching. Here is their tithing doctrine stated in a...

I just wanted to share this very good article with you all from Cultwatch. I posted this to warn. not to insult. How Pastors Get Rich an article by Cultwatch Director Mark Vrankovich Important Note: As you read please remember that very few pastors use the techniques you are about to...

Hi For Christ, God loves you very , very much. Right where you are. There is no possible way you can be 'too lost' to Him. There was a point not too long ago where I was pretty angry with God and his people. I wanted NOTHING to do with God. I told him to get lost. And that is the rated G...

Not a problem! I hope I did not come across too harshly. I completely understand posting to create interest in a subject. Sometimes I like to join threads to debate and reason in the name of learning something new. Much love in Him, Brother!

Hi Brighthouse! Yes, that is exactly what I mean. Sometimes when someone has a lot to overcome it helps them get into the right mindset to already claim the victory before they have the victory!

As far as commentaries go I suggest you look up the Matthew Henry's complete Bible commentary. If you wish to understand the bible from the veiwpoint of a contemporary I also suggest looking up the Flavius Josephus. He gives insight into the biblical happenings because he was actually there...

I don't know if you know this but this guy is Michele Bachmann's ( as in the fruitcake that is giving Jesus a black eye by her antics and will wreck America if we vote her into office) husband. He would advocate this type of counseling because he makes boku bucks off of it. He, nor his wife...

So I guess it has never occurred to you that some people talk about overcoming before they have overcome because it serves as self encouragement. There are people out there that get so beat down in their walk for whatever reason that they have to own things positively before they manifest it...

I'm going with David 777 on this one. There is no 'normal' way to accept Jesus. We are all different so the experience will differ. Mine was..interesting. Yet I know others who just pretty much prayed a prayer, surrounded by loved ones , at age 8 and they had been saved since. To be honest...

I haven't heard any bad things concerning your church. Which is most excellent! I'm glad you got to plug into a healthy church home. I do understand about the family. My mother fell pregnant with me quite young and it would be a full year before abortion would be made legal so she had me and...

Seems we have a bit in common. I once lived in Columbus, Ohio and I hail from an extremely dysfunctional family myself. Being familiar to the area, I'm just curious, what church do you attend? You don't have to answer me here, you can shoot me a PM whenever you feel like it. To answer your...

Just remember God is not stupid. If you divorce someone because they flat out abused you or your children I think God has a measure of mercy for that. He doesn't like to see His children hurt.

I totally understand what you are speaking of. I applaud you for having the strength to move on. However, not everyone's abuse experience is the same. My 'pastor' stood in the pulpit and told us that, if a woman was raped, it was her fault. Because women were temptresses from the Garden...

Yes, I do. You see there is a sad and little publicized fact that a lot of Christians are not aware of: the amount of people who have been spiritually abused or else downright abused at the hands of 'christians' in a church setting. These people are not about to rush back to a church setting...

Yes, it really has

How does one turn around a life? I woke up this morning with this question on my mind and realized I had no idea. Thoughts? Suggestions?

What would you , then, say to someone who was seriously considering ending their life?someone who was entirely convinced that taking their own life was either the only option or eminently right? I wish to know this in case I ever am in this situation so I'd know how to deal with it. -Plinshree

Forgive me if I've put this in the wrong place. I was wondering: is suicide always a one way ticket to a condo on the lake of fire? For instance if taking one's own life is more of a benefit to the people around them than their continued existence will God cast them into eternal damnation...
