Be careful what you pray for. What is known as the "First" American revival led many to a deeper understanding and belief in Christ. The "Second" American revival however, led millions to church but their faith was shallower and their grace cheap. In many ways the western church is still...

Welcome to CC, and more importantly welcome to your quest. I absolutely agree that challenge is healthy, I look forward tp it!

Hi Theresa, welcome to CC. Can't say I am much of a cat person, but I do love roses. I am looking forward to hearing from you.

The Pursuit of God by A.W. Tozer. I've read many the past couple of years but this one spoke directly to me.

Not if you interpret "Mary" like many Christians interpret Chapter and Verse.

(Poems: 12:24-25) 24: Mary had a little lamb, Its fleece was white as snow, 25: And everywhere that Mary went The lamb was sure to go. “Mary” Not Sue or Wanda. Mary alone was set aside for special blessings. She was favored by God. Wanda and Sue are not...

No! Your original post is one of the most fascinating I have read here. Not because of either the questions nor the answers, but because of the mental and linguistic gymnastics that accompany them. If it is deliberate, you are brilliant; if not please keep studying the Word. A friend in Christ.

Stating things simply can be the most profound. I love your poem.

I regret your post has been so badly misunderstood and vilified. You are absolutely correct, those with attractions to their same sex should indeed be celibate and chaste. There is just so much bias in the "Christian" community. (Maybe I can share a little of the venom).

A Grief Observed C. S. Lewis For some, me included, this book can be unsettling. The first half is painful to read. Lewis married later in life to an American poet who was in remission from cancer. After a few joyous and blissful years, Joy’s cancer returned and she died. A Grief Observed...

Foxe’s Book of Martyrs John Foxe First published in 1563, this is the definitive volume of early Christian Martyrs. Beginning with the persecution of Jesus and continuing through William Tyndale, John Hus, Martin Luther and others. This is essential reading to fully grasp Christian history...

You have missed nothing. I stopped it too, along with all popular social media.

I hope you are feeling a little better today and that God answered our prayers in some little way.

I checked the torahclass.com website, impressive. There is enough there to keep one busy for a year. Thanks for the tip!

I have not read this yet, but it looks like my kind'a book. I will check it out.

Thank you, I will check it out. I'm always looking for recommendations.

Welcome to CC OGK. There are lots of opportunities to talk here, jump in! I am also sorry to hear you are not feeling well. We worship a God of healing. You are in my prayers today.

The final four recommendations. The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment Jeremiah Burroughs A classic of Puritan literature that has stood the test of time. It is written in an older English style with rather long and rambling sentences, but altogether not too difficult to read. The reward...

"As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God" Psalm 42:1 Nice work!
