    What is the longest fast you have done?

    It's understandable. You can also say that you are not hungry at the moment. Yet I do understand your not wanting to lie, get in prayer with the Lord, and follow the Spirit's prompting.

    I need some advice

    Hello and God bless, first, if going would place you in the hot seat with Mom or Dad or both, you should stay home and not go. Knowing that your parents would say no and you KNOW that they are against it, respect and honor you parents decision. Spend time doing something more productive during...

    What is the longest fast you have done?

    While that perhaps can be considered a "fast", what is being referenced here and what you are speaking on are two separate things. But I do understand your point.

    What is the longest fast you have done?

    I have fasted on many occasions throughout the years; however, the length of time I fasted was generally the same: three days. I did so to get alone with God and to spend some seriously devoted time through prayer and the Word with the Lord. If you are planning to pray at any time, you...

    Does meditation, specifically Christian based meditation fit into Christ's way?

    I agree with everything but the very last part. It is biblical to meditate as Christians. In line with what you had touched on earlier on in your text, keeping the Word of God in the first place is key. Meditating on scripture is as simple as renewing your mind by reciting the scripture...

    Being a pastor is really tough what did you do when you felt this way?

    One VERY important aspect of ministry to always keep in the forefront of your mind is the necessity and power of prayer. It is not simply to lift others in prayer for their situations, yet also to be mindful that while doing your part to minister and doing your part in the day to day, Pastoring...

    Guarding the ears and eyes from worldly media

    The more and more I see social media played out in news reels due to trends and the horrible actions being done by many gangs and solo criminals, I ask myself, other than praying for them, what can I do? The good Samaritan in the Bible went out of his way to assist and secure the right...

    Keeping to the Word

    So many men and women of God today do not read their Bibles as they should be doing and I myself have at times allowed day to day situations to interfere with my keeping with daily devotionals with the Word either in the Morning, or at all in that day. Not that I have wronged God as throughout...

    Pagan Holiday Thread

    I must say, that someone who like yourself comes off as trying to be compassionate and understanding, is one of the only individuals that I have seen so far that is so I guess verbally abusive while masking it under the guys of correction in some sort of way. If you want to take it offensive or...

    Give me 3 solid online Pastors to follow

    I enjoy Dr. David Jeremiah Dr. Tony Evans Dr. David Gibbs I normally do not listen to many online Preachers as when I am not reading the Bible I am working or spending time with my family. A lot of my online listening is the Audio version of the Bible read by Alexander...

    Please help me to respond to some of my non-trinitarian friends

    I would get into a study of the Word and look for scriptures that specify the question you are asking. Look for illustrations where Jesus is being baptized and God in Heaven speaks and the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove, or even where it says, " For there are three that bear record in Heaven...

    Pagan Holiday Thread

    My wife used to attend a church here where we live where they did both as well. They handed out tracts with candy and I also can see the benefits of this. I am not opposed to handing candy out, I am against remaining silent in the face of obvious opposition to God.

    With all due respect Lynx, 1. I am not prideful as you say. Am I proud to be and say I follow Jesus, YES. However, to say it in terms in the context also in which you responded I feel is wrong. Can I agree that turning the light off as a way to say that you are either not home or not...

    Pagan Holiday Thread

    With all do respect, if I see an opportunity to promote the Lord and there is a chance of backlash from the community, I would rather stand with GOD and be judged by man than to stand with MAN and be judged by GOD. Have I done this in the past, yes I have, as well as for other holidays as well...

    Do you hand out candy? If so, is this action not also condoning the pagan holiday as well? If not, instead of opening the door and handing out candy, perhaps open the door and hand out tracts promoting Jesus.

    Purgatory, Catholic Bible vs Protestant Bible

    I would not go so far as to say the Catholic church was "Spirit" led back then or even now for that matter. Why would the Spirit of God lead its leaders to kill and torture innocent lives for a myriad of reasons they chose to say they were doing such horrible acts "in the name of God" The Spirit...
