Hi everyone! So I've been a Christian for a few years now. I used to live a life full of lust, vanity, materialism and alcohol/weed. I'm 31 and a new mom now and I was baptized earlier this year. Christ has changed my life so much I have never been happier, more sober and feelin…

Do you think Trump has an heir apparent, or is it one of those things where no one in Washington dares talk about it for fear of reminding Trump of his mortality/term limits? I know the obvious answer is Vance, but Vance does not wield the same kind of fear and influence that Tr…

As trump's approval ratings continue to decline following a series of controversial decisions, many people are wondering what political strategy might come next... One concern is that renewed election fraud claims (this time centered on allegations of Chinese interference in the…

Casting out demons still happens. If you do outreach long enough, you are going to run into it. That should not surprise believers, because Jesus said it would be one of the signs that follow them: “And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out d…

I was driving down the highway going about 70 mph around Annapolis, Maryland (Route 97) with my daughter in the car when suddenly I could feel myself outside of my own body looking down (I guess that's the best way to describe it?) at myself driving. I was not asleep and it did…

I have a sticky note on my front door with one word on it: DAILY. Why? Jesus said: “ If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross daily *, and follow me. If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your lif…

As an outsider, I find it hard to understand why the war in Gaza is still continuing despite the enormous imbalance in military power. Israel has overwhelming military superiority, while Gaza has suffered widespread destruction and a devastating civilian death toll. If Hamas has…

I’ll be upfront, I’m a former Christian (I got raised as a Christian) and this is actually the question that got me doubting my faith. I actually said that on Facebook and some guy said, “Then you were never truly a Christian!”… so I decided to ask him, “Well, what’s your answer…

Is it ethically acceptable or even strategically justifiable for politicians (regardless of party affiliation) to deliberately spread misleading, false, or deceitful information in pursuit of power, policy goals, or electoral success? No blame game and no referencing individual…

For those of us who have spent a long time on the internet interacting with militant atheists, or who have been asked the age old question by a friend: Why did God put the fruit in the Garden? Why would He allow a way for sin to enter the world? I believe most of us know the ans…

I'm 15 and have been raised in a Christian family my entire life. I always believed in Jesus for sure, but I don't think I was ever taking it the most serious. That was proven to me last year. Shortly after escaping some bad habits in my life, I realized how little I had been re…

What I mean is we should stop trying to divide ourselves about Catholic, Protestant or Eastern Orthodox because we are all Christians in the end. We all should unite together and be Christians. What matters is that you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour and that he die…

Yes, I know that the excitement comes from Jesus returning to earth, but it clearly says that He "will come to earth not with peace, but a sword". Though I'm still reading the New Testament, I've read in Revelations about what the end times will be like. And I'm still nervous th…
