Having a lot of idle time recently, I have invested those hours reading classic Christian books. Finding good books has required review of many “Top Ten”, “Top 50” or “Top 100” lists. These are usually based on popularity by sales. Rarely will you find a list where the compiler has personally...

Hey BB.....Welcome to CC. That is quite an introduction...can't wait to see what follows.

Good to see someone else who also suffers from FF Syndrome (Fast Fingers). Great post!

Absolutely! My concern was my own ability. I found it difficult to denounce evil, while not casting stones at those who use FB positively and legitimately.

One of my favorite books is A.W. Tozers The pursuit of God. The title alone is fascinating, you don't learn if God is the subject or the object until Tozer makes that question crystal clear.

Your post touched my heart. You may be stuck at home but you "served" my spirit today. Are your opportunities as rare as they feel or is your service something different than you think? I believe God has given you special opportunities others may not have, even in your difficulties. You are...

I have found it personally difficult to respond to this post. Every attempt (I have tried several times) has sounded overly judgmental and critical. I have resigned from all popular forms of social media, and yes, it has been a struggle. FB, Twitter and the others popular media forms may try...

Great post. I relate this to Romans7:19 "For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing." That pretty much sums up my own strength against sin.

UnnamedConcerned, you are not alone. We have all fought your battle, one way or another. I would highly recommend the book Every Man's Battle by Stephen Arterburn and Fred Stoeker. Following Job (31:1) and "making a covenant with your eyes" is a powerful tool against temptation. The book is...

God's love for his children is the most precious and expensive form of love, regardless of what it may be called.

Yes, I think it is idolatry when it results in neglect.

The other night I had a dream. In my dream I was at a church service when someone made an overtly political comment. I challenged the speaker on his views, the service immediately deteriorated and I was removed. Then I woke. I have been convicted by this dream; spending too much time and...

Long story made short. I had a lifetime struggle with an alcoholic father. He got sick and was not doing well. I received a brief message from God. Brief but overwhelming; it was like being soaked in a tsunami. "Go forgive your father!" I did not want to, but when He tells you to do...

The door I speak about is not for anyone to barge in on. Again, no one should tolerate abuse. The door is your heart, your willingness to wait and to understand there are significant things yet to come. It is your willingness to offer this issue in prayer, both for yourself and your mother...

Whether you have the best mom on earth or something else, there is a bond between you that is unique, not shared with anyone else. No one should ever endure abuse from anyone, but please keep the door open so God may enter and perhaps totally change your relationship. He does that sometimes...

Welcome to CC. Here are people who will be in prayer for you, both to support you during your rough times but also to help you grow in Christian faith. It may not take as long as you now think, He is already at work.

"We need to compare ourselves with ourselves, not with others." This is truth! Sadly, reading down your list, in honesty I do very poorly. I try, but what I want to do, I do not; and what I do not want to do, this I keep on doing. Who can rescue me from this body of sin? Praise be to...

Thank you for this message. If we could ever fully understand that we are where God has brought us, and not yet where he will bring us, most of our disagreements would disappear.

Some say thee, others thou or you, There are ministers, pastors, reverends and priests. Some have a creed, a catechism or tenants, Some use bread, others crackers or wafers, There is wine, and there is juice, Some sprinkle, some pour and some dunk, Some wear robes, others suits or jeans, There...

A couple come instantly to mind but I have no wish here to hijack your question. Sometimes "Christian" unacceptance of other Christians boggles my mind.
