The nausea is actually caused by my stomach being damaged by the chemo drug I am on. Anti-nausea does nothing, although the migraine pills help a bit. The sad part is that with each infusion it is probably going to get worse. I have stopped eating all fermented foods like vinegar, anything...

I used to lead a Christian forum and there was one Christadelphian who kept coming in and posting that Jesus wasn't God and we were all not real Christians. He would never admit what he was. We had to hound him based on his beliefs, and he finally admitted he was a Christadelphian. In the end...

A month ago I started on a new med for my Rheumatoid Arthritis, and so far all I have gotten is a lot of bad side effects. There are no other drugs I am eligible to take. Please pray this will work, and that this constant nausea will disappear. Thanks!

I have to also wonder how much stress being in an MDiv program is causing. I did mine part time, and I was stressed out all the time. About wanting to please God, do well, and just how hard the program is. It may be your husband is living his high school or college years again, being in school...

The reason we have so much bad doctrine in the church today, is because everyone thinks all they need is the Holy Spirit and whatever idea pops into their head and they are a prophet or have a new doctrine. I'm not even talking traditional divisions, but some of the weird and crazy things that...

Acts is the history of the early church. I do believe some things have changed since those days, so we cannot take it as normative. There is a progression in the book, which starts with the incredible miracle of the day of Pentecost in Chapter 2. Then the numbers added "daily" just get bigger...

Not even just education, but character! We need to allow the Holy Spirit to transform us into his image. Both men and women. And there is nothing wrong with dressing up. I do it all the time - esp. for church when I am playing with the worship team. Or for weddings! Just not for the purpose...

I am with Claudya too! Although a Christian friend did post an amazing classical violin solo by a woman in a Miss America context from 1989 that was unbelievable. If she doesn't become a professional violinist, I miss my guess. So yes to the talent, and no to the bathing suit and objectifying...

GMO is not about simple genetic manipulation within kind. They take the genes of a soil bacteria, and put it into the DNA of corn. Then if another insect bites the corn, it gives off poison and the insect dies. Or other cross species manipulation. Corn is virtually 100% GMO today, and animals...

I read both Greek and Hebrew. In Hebrew last year, we did word for word translations, then compared them to various versions. ESV came up as the best option every time. KJV is nice for fancy language, but I really found it impossible to read all that early modern English, and it doesn't hold up...

Here is an interesting article from Christianity today on "Strong is the new Skinny" http://www.christianitytoday.com/women/2013/september/strong-is-new-skinny.html?paging=off Just a different perspective!

I do not have tattoos and never will. I think our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and therefore we should not deface it. I also wonder what those tattoos will look like in 40 or 50 years. Pretty funny on an old man or woman. Well, maybe not a man, but certainly on a woman! On the other...

I don't watch much TV, but I do spend too much time on the internet. The one strange exception I make for TV is the Walking Dead. If you can block out the zombies, it is actually a very Christian show. They do not mock Christians, and in fact several of the characters are Christians and they...

As a woman who body builds I think some explanation is due. I have a bad whiplash injury in my neck - many overstretched and damaged ligaments. So the muscles gained from body building keep me from immense pain. I have very damaged knees from a variety of sources. Body building and bicycling...

I've been praying for Boston and those who were injured and for the families of those who were killed. I think we also need to pray for America, which has had so many terrible things happen. Pray for a spiritual awakening and hearts turning to God. And for healing between the left and the...

I will pray for this pastor and his family. I am not a US citizen either, but I pray my government will also stand up against this terrible persecution of a Christian man on bogus charges.

I will pray for your friend to know Christ as Lord and Savior. God is amazing the way he uses these crises to draw people to him. As for the cancer, praying for successful surgery/chemo/radiation or whatever has to be done. Also praying for you, that you will be there to comfort, and to share...

I think it is wonderful you are beginning to find peace about this person. I am going to remember this if someone tells me they are bitter and filled with hate towards someone. I know God will answer the prayer to bless an enemy, especially when it means forgiveness for that person for us.

Thanks for welcoming me. I do think there is something purifying about suffering, and facing death. It either draws you closer to God and matures you, or it can make you bitter. God has opened many doors for me to share the gospel with those who are far from God, but my joy is the people...
