    How do I establish a relationship with God if I feel he has given me nothing but failure all my life?

I will not go back and delete posts but I will ask you all to remember that the rules of this forum do not allow for members to engage each other but that we must answer the OP's questions only.

    Is it possible to make a Christian novel for a secular audiences?

    One way to find out. Isn't the Bible for secular audiences?

    Does anyone hate the IRS?

    And, if they were in the wrong or were intentionally wrong then they deserved to be proverbially slapped. On the other hand, the IRS is not above the law and is made up of people, people that can make mistakes just as we can. If someone feels the action taken was not appropriate, they always...

    Does anyone hate the IRS?

    The dilemma with the IRS is if you fail to pay your due taxes, you will be in for a world of hurt because once caught, not only will you owe the back taxes but also interest and penalties that can add up to quite a bit. My wife likes to gamble a little and most of the time her winnings are low...

    Invisible Christianity

    Having to work on Sunday is a little different than having to watch a ballgame. I often get whimsical when members of our own church get concerned about what time we hold our worship service. I can't help but ask, what is more important, spending time with our Lord or the ballgame?

    Invisible Christianity

    So is it appropriate to schedule worship around football? If we truly want to take a day out every week to spend time with our Lord, is an hour enough?

    Why didn't Jacob divorce Leah?

    I'm guessing he's the only one that can answer that question.

    God in the OT

    It's best not to fret about such things. They will only serve to introduce doubt. God knows the end from the beginning and we are to trust Him in all things. It is not our place to question God's sovereignty so when you ask this of Him, don't be surprised if you don't get a satisfactory answer...

    Need help understanding this…

    A question I ask is, "What specifically is prayer?" Prayer is not just a phrase or group of words one memorizes and recites on occasion or otherwise. Prayer is conversation with God. Take a look at Jesus' prayers recorded in Scripture. I have included a few references. Notice that in all of the...

    I need direction on a bible

    You will find that people have their favorites. Some don't trust certain translations and may even claim some translations are biased or leave text out and things like that, even though those translations usually include footnotes to explain why certain differences exist. When the KJV was first...

    coffee!

    That's something I find funny. Whole bean coffee is about twice the price of ground coffee. Thing is, there's less processing. It's an example of placing value on something. Pricing isn't always about cost of production. Sometimes its about image, personal preference, etc.

    coffee!

    When I was working as a service technician, I had to go to Germany to help with a project. One thing that really intrigued me was the coffee. It was very dark and very strong with lots of flavor. Any time I try to make coffee that strong it comes out bitter. I don't know what they did different...

    I need direction on a bible

    Many have already recommended the ESV (English Standard Version) and for good reason. The ESV is known to be a good one that is easy to read, particularly for younger adults and students. I reference that one myself, although my favorite is the NKJV (New King James Version). I also use a NIV...

    Name a remarkable (possibly once in a lifetime) )moment in your life.

    Here's another one from me. Back in 2001, we had hired a contractor to replace the siding and roofing on our home, which we were nearly done remodeling. One day they came and stripped the old siding off our home and wrapped a house wrap around it. That night at about 4:00 in the morning, I woke...

    Have you ever seen a ghost?

    Not me personally but a coworker told me about a couple events he and his wife experienced. For about a year before I moved into my current home, I rented the lower level of a home. After I moved, the home was sold to a coworker of mine (Tom) and when I found out that he was the one that...
