Has there ever been some type of awards given on the site? It might be interesting to give some type of mention to posts in each category that elicited the most responses. Or best art work. Or even who garnered the most of each type of responses. Or a multitude of other categories. I know if...

As we go through different seasons in life, a particular name or attribute of God attends that time and is often extended and manifest to us in ways we previously haven't known. How is God making Himself known to you these days?

The leaves are now falling. There's a chill in the air. The snow on the sidewalk makes men quite aware That the season draws nigh now for all those now livin' When a child was born and a Son was given. Lights blinking on houses and the signs in the store, The cards in the mailbox foretell of...

We all have questions about a number of things. But if you could ask only 1 question that you believed the answer to which would best help you currently in your Christian walk, what would that question be?

Often on this site, in our attempt to offer help to others, we can inadvertently have the opposite effect. So I thought perhaps we could share a verse that encourages us and tell why, and in the process, encourage others. An example might be Romans 8:28 because it reminds the Christian that...

I awoke Christmas morning and rushed to the tree To open all the gifts that were given to me. My excitement was not disappointed at all As my stocking hung over a gracious windfall. I opened the boxes as I there kneeled; Ripped off the wrapping to see what each concealed. I had received various...

John 5:19...Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. What things did Jesus see the Father doing?

I have found recently that for threads I have been following I no longer receive a courtesy message when others at the site post to the thread after a day or two. Is there a limit to the number of threads one can follow at a time? Has anyone else experienced this?

I believe most people would agree that the Bible itself is inspired and infallible. But all of us have come across verses that under a cursory reading seem to contradict beliefs we hold as truth. So I'm wondering what process do you employ to reconcile these apparent differences?

Do families still take time on regular basis just to enjoy one another as they enjoy a time of diversion? I'm asking somewhat selfishly as I had children later in life and still have a houseful of misfits and I'm looking for some fresh ideas.

I ask this question because as I enjoy going through all the different posts on this site I find that threads often deteriorate to the point where opposing views are polarized and the participants seem to be less concerned with the opposing viewpoint and more focused on what one already...

I grew up in church and the preacher had said How Jesus had suffered, how Jesus had bled. How He's coming back shortly, His love you must receive, To get into heaven...I just couldn't believe. Lecture upon lecture I got from my dad. He's so narrow-minded. Hey, I'm not that bad. Don't tell...

You met one day His saving grace, Your life forever commuted. Your sentence placed upon another Who joyfully substituted. His Spirit took up residence And began His purging chore, But you knew deep down inside His plan included more. He melted away a hardened heart And gave you one with...
