I used to listen to Tim Keller quite a lot. And Paul Washer a lot. You might also like Francis Chan Now I try to spend more time in Scripture and praying. I don't listen to as many sermons as I used to.

I would just say no. I know some people use that sort of thing as ammunition against you. But chances are, they would have found ammunition upon a few minutes of conversation with me anyway. I am trying to become more bold since Jesus promised the world would hate us. Why be surprised when...

Hey April, Ive actually been praying over you and your insecurities for a while since you mentioned them. I will continue to pray for a breakthrough in this area.

I want to become a prayer warrior as this is what God is calling me to. I will beg God to teach me how but any advice would help. How do you get to the place where you are praying against principalities and strongholds and winning? How do you get to the place where you're praying in the...

Im African-American but I don't believe that there is an over-arching systemic racism in America any more. Why? Because there is no top-down discrimination of black people anymore. Because black people actually did better and had more two parent households in times past closer to slavery...

Its a mean-spirited joke if you ask me. Would she be okay if you joked like that to her, race and everything? It sounds like maybe she caught herself being rude and then tried to fix it. In my opinion, it wouldve been better not to have said anything like that in the first place.

I like that your approach to sin is offensive, in a sense, rather than defensive. I call it being offensive when temptation goes away because you're seeking God actively. This is one of the most effective ways to get rid of sin in your life. Thankfully, not giving in to temptation gets...

I am sincerely glad the thought and temptation never enters your mind. However, this has not been my or my husband's experience. I think God gives us grace to overcome these temptations but you do have to submit fully to God. I don't believe its always effortless. That is to say, if you are...

I do have to try to when it comes to resisting temptation. It's by God's grace that I have the will to even do this. But for me, the temptation to walk in the flesh is very strong at times and it is an effort to stay in the Spirit. There is porn at our fingertips 24/7 through the internet...

I think these verses are relevant to the debate here. Emphasis is mine. John 15:1-7 King James Version 15 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. 2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring...

Sometimes, a debate can be successful, not because you've convinced your opponent (Let's be real, plenty of people are really attached to false doctrines. ) but because you've left a trail of breadcrumbs for an audience that may be on the fence about the issue. I was on the fence about OSAS for...

What are some Christian Movies you enjoy? I love The Prince of Egypt and David and Bathsheba with Gregory Peck.

Im sorry to hear that. I know its not always easy to feel good about your own appearance.

Behold, you seem to be making the case that any effort on our part negates trusting in Jesus Christ's blood for our sins. But what do you do when temptation comes? Is resisting the devil not effort on our part? What about 1 Corinthians 9:27? 27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into...

Mitch Etling How do you explain Jesus turning water into wine in this passage? John 2:1-11 King James Version 2 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: 2 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. 3 And when they...

I agree that we should have a heart for the lost. I think God likes when we intercede for others and pray big prayers. One time, I prayed very hard that God would save every last person alive on the earth today... Then, Covid happened. I believe God is using Covid to wake people up and call...

Can we also talk about the fact that the news' purpose seems to be to spread fear?

I turn off the news and it helps a LOT. I get all my news secondhand and Im a happier person for it. I know most of that stuff is not in my control. Plus, we can trust God. This world is passing away. But Jesus has overcome the world. We can trust Jesus because He loves us in a way that is...

I'm not defined as a sinner any longer thanks to Christ. I am a saint. I was a sinner at one point. Romans 3:23. If I sin now, I confess and turn from it. But I no longer live a lifestyle of sin because Im made righteous by the blood of Jesus.

Its looks like a bun with a braid wrapped arround it. A braided bun!
