I’m 16f and am a Christian. People can be so rude about being a Christian on this site.. it’s weird. I’m also waiting until marriage, and people seem to get mad about people making this decision for themselves which is strange. I’ve never told anyone that they have to live how I…

So, the other day we were leaving the church at about 10:30 at night after a service and there were some young guys drinking and smoking in the parking lot. One of our volunteers went to speak with them and pray for them, and they werent interested so he left and just started pr…

As I was praying just a few minutes ago, thanking the Lord for bringing me back to Him, to a place of connection with Him and just to a state of doing better than I have been. I heard this word in my mind. It sounded like “Teshuda”. I finished my sentence that I was praying and…

The header is a little rhetorical, but discussion is obviously invited nonetheless. I have seen nothing but blasphemous, blatantly ignorant rhetoric about the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit-even the Bible. I look at the tags of the commentators and think, "Okay, so obviously…

A pardon covers offenses against the United States. A pardon does not cover offenses committed against individual states in the United States nor does it cover offenses committed against foreign jurisdictions. If Mexico or another country, like Colombia after today's ICE killing…

I'm really confused why Republicans would delay announcing his passing or that hes on life support etc. Besides just political inertia, what advantage does that even give them? It appears that the KY law would lose if Beshear challenges it for the right to appoint a new interim…

I was a bit shocked and sickened actually. and the thing that made it worse was that the pastor brought it up. what kind of hypocrites are we dealing with here? he made a point beforehand to say not to start the recording yet, but later in the day I was going through some files…

For her protection, I obviously won't be disclosing any major details. I can't believe I'm even in this situation but I could really use some prayers or some further advice. I have offered indefinite sanctuary to a friend and coworker of mine. She's a Syrian immigrant here on a…

Just thinking about this after seeing the news about the potential resurgence of the “rigged 2020 election” cycle. Does Trump still really have that kind of sway, and does he still have an impassioned enough base to pull off something like J6 again? Being in a deep red state, I…

Lindsay Graham, an influential Republican, just passed away very suddenly and Mitch McConnell is seeming to be not too far behind him. What kind of implications could this have overall on the GOP’s power structure losing both these men?

I am about a month into accepting Jesus and it has been a wonderful and couple of weeks. It was so nice to know that I have someone who unconditionally loved me, and was happy to help me comfort me through my faith. I wanted to know Jesus even more, so I read the Bible and read…

Hi hopefully you’re feeling blessed and happy today. I just wanted to share my story here. I became Christian around a year ago. Leaving Islam wasn’t even a hard choice, it was more like getting out of prison. Jesus had given me freedom. I was drawn towards Jesus naturally, no o…

Three years ago I walked through a rain storm in the middle of winter to my local church. It was past midnight and when I got there the gates were closed and the lights were off. I knelt down in tears and cried out to God promising to finally give my life over to him. From then…

We talk a lot about what to read or how to pray, but not nearly enough about the discipline of just... showing up, every single day, even when it's five minutes, even when it doesn't feel needed. Scripture actually speaks directly to this, and I think we skip past it Daniel didn…

There's a growing body of research arguing that American division is overstated, and this is becoming an increasingly popular narrative. The implied conclusion is that the division is partly a misperception problem, and that correcting it opens political space that currently see…

I'm trying to look past the daily news cycles and understand the actual long-term structural shifts happening in real-time. Historically, the Right was defined by Reagan-era free-market economics, strict deregulation, and a strong defense of traditional institutions. Today, the…

Completely disregarding the loaded "gotcha!" questions, even the honest questions devolve into debates with atheists. Honest question, Mods... Is that what you want for this sub, to be a place for atheists and Christians to debate?

I got baptized at my cousins church, her and her husband are both ministers and her husband baptized me. I didn't want an audience so it was just us and 2 of their grandchildren (6 and 4). The 4 year old kept confusing baptize with bath time and the 6 year old thought it was sca…
