I've been attending this church that my uncle has introduced me for the last five months. the church has asked me to do bible study with the high school students. I would love to do it, and disciple them..
However, the English worship serice at that church seems dry. People are standing there, not really worshipping passionately. As of now the church is not really into Missions, and they seem more interested into fellowships... I dont see anyone at that church like my spiritual mentors or like life time accountability partners.. If I love to serve, teach but the worship serice seems dry, not too organized, and people at the church is not really my spirtual help, do I move to different church where people can make difference in my life? I know that It is not a good reason cuz of people but the englishi worship sevice makes me feel that way.. in the other hand, I see the need of high school students at the church.. do I move church? what do you think?

And I swallowed what they taught. It was rigid time of blind faith and doctrine. From an early age I knew I was different somehow, but I couldn't put it into words. I followed what was expected of me, and performed for the admiring crowd. That is until I couldn't do it anymore and had to follow my heart. I did so with trepidation caused from years of indoctrination, yet as I stepped forward into life I never abandoned my faith. I couldn't and can't. What I don't understand is why my faith has abandoned me? Rather, why has the teachers of doctrine made me an example when I live an examplory life?

I sincerely believe that G-d put me here not to test me, but rather to test others on how well they treat their fellow man.

Any mature thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you for your time.

I don't know much about it really. I know that you are supposed to give 10%. These are probably bad questions, but:

I don't have a job, I am underage, so does it apply to me?
When would you give it? Everyweek? Everymonth?

thank you so much. God bless.

I work for an apartment complex and the company is having a christmas party and all employees are allowed to come except the two girls who work on the weekends. (they work on weekends only by themselves only part time people who work there) Is it common for some employees to be excluded from company activities like the christmas party?

There was a Scotsman, an Englishman and Claudia Schiffer sitting together in a carriage in a train going through Tasmania. Suddenly the train went through a tunnel and as it was an old style train, there were no lights in the carriages and it went completely dark. Then there was this kissing noise and the sound of a really loud slap. When the train came out of the tunnel, Claudia Schiffer and the Scotsman were sitting as if nothing had happened and the Englishman had his hand against his face as he had been slapped. The Englishman was thinking: "The Scottish fella must have kissed Claudia Schiffer and she missed him and slapped me instead". Claudia Schiffer was thinking "The English fella must have tried to kiss me and actually kissed the Scotsman and got slapped for it". And the Scotsman was thinking: "This is great. The next time the train goes through a tunnel I'll make that kissing noise and slap that English man again. Calm down only a joke.

My mom has been dating her boyfriend for about 12 yrs now. Last year he started studying to be a jehovahs witness. Now he doesn't want to celebrate holidays. He's not a jehovahs witness yet but is trying to be one.

Is it wrong for him to make us not put up a christmas tree? We think so but he's saying he's comprimising with us.

And he's saying if we love holidays and stuff so much he doesn't want to be here so hell leave.

Is it wrong for him to do that?
Pleasse give me some advice or suggestions etc.

In God's Currency.. Grace is much more valuable. I will be surprised to see more than one answer with any kind of even beginners understanding of the term "Grace" as it applies to God. This applies especially to Christians.

Yes I am a very strong Catholic of seventeen years and there is so much I don't know. But I do know that threats never solved anything. In fact they only create more resentment and hatred towards you and what you believe in. Why do so many christians say this? (note: I do realize that there are lots that don't, but I have heard about a lot that do)
Is it because they are not strong in their faith and can offer not better argument to defend what they believe in? I would never answer this way, in fact I leave the whole matter alone. We are called to pray for them, what more is needed? If you truly believe then you know the power of pray.

I also do not bash other religions, some of my best friends are pagan, wiccian, jewish, or atheist. Should I despise them simply because of what they believe? No! We are called to hate the sin, but LOVE the sinner.

Remember that, even if you just think of me as some crazy Catholic that hasn't a clue.

I don't know about you, but I have about HAD it with people preaching their beliefs on others....claiming to be people of God....not everyone, just the extremist that really aren't living the laws of God...after all "Thou Shall Not Judge! " is a commandment the last time I checked.

This is an example first read the question, and find the response from "Servant Leader" then go to his profile and read his description...correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't someone that is called by "God" be accepting of someone like the DALAI LAMA? A man who doesn't preach, but rather lives by example, teaching peace, and other wonderful virtues to the world?

here's the link: let me know what you think....
