  1. Yeah I gotta agree with you there. I believe there is already a thread like this though. After reading up a little i did some further research. Their "prophet" is a scary man. Believing himself to be Jesus and manipulating his congregation. The "growing in grace" church already has thousands of followers. Its actually a good reason to be concerned. Sean
  2. I go to Church every Sunday morning. I have actually just come out of a bit of a attendance slump but now its all good! I approach Church the same way the desciples did in Acts. We gather in houses to discuss the gospel and do studies. Then on Sunday we all go to "temple". My relationship with God is a personal one and He teaches me through His Word. At Church I get a chance to fellowship with my extended family that I dont get a chance to see during the week and am spoon-fed scripture from the pastor. There is nothing wrong with that at all. In fact its a wonderful thing but ultimately its a meeting place for believers. I think its important that every believer goes for their own personal growth. The Bible even says that we should. I dont think however that we should go 7 days a week unless you are convicted to do so. God bless! Sean
  3. Hi there sister! At the moment I am on this serious diet cause Im getting married in a few months. I just cut out all snacks, no soda, half the sugar and only 3 meals a day (normal portions). The key of course is exercise. I go to the gym 3 times a week to tone up and shed as much as possible. Its hard work but nothing in life worth having comes easy. Hope you get to where you want to be! Just set your sights on the prize and push forward! GOD BLESS!!! Sean
  4. Hi everyone! This is a subject that I feel very strongly about. Alot of modern Churches dont teach on the subject of spiritual warfare. My sisters boyfriend has been afraid to be alone for years and when he sleeps he wakes up screaming because of terrible nightmares. We know this is spiritual but he wont hear of it. He considers it offensive that we believe him to be opressed. We will be praying for him. My mother and me are from "old stock" in the way we handle things of this nature. If we feel the home is being attacked we will walk around the house praying over the doors and windows. Spiritual warfare is something I know to the a reality because I have experienced it in my life. A few years back i had a terrible dream. I wont get too into it because its long and irrelevant. I drempt that I was possessed and there was a presence in my dreams. I woke up screaming and had perspired so much that the bedding was soaked. It didnt take me long to realise that the presence that was in my dreams was standing at the right hand side of the bed. I panicked at first. My mom came into the room to see what was wrong and together we prayed. Similar things have happened to me and others I know. We have got to start taking charge of this situation. Pretending that evil doesnt exist is foolish and dangerous. Im glad that this thread has been started up. We can learn alot from peoples experiences. God bless and keep all of you! Sean
  5. Things like this should not be taken lightly. The enemy is dangerous and is out to destroy. Fortunately we are covered by the blood of Christ and will never die. I know that when Christians talk about things like this they get all excited. I did. But its something that is evil and dangerousto those who arent ready for it. I witnessed an attack on a friend of mine. It was a particulary violent attack and the at first she (and we) thought it was a wild animal as we camping in the bush at the time. We found out very quickly that it wasnt an animal and her life was turned upside down cause the situation wasnt handled properly. She would see these creatures everywhere and she had a breakdown. Its no joke. Eventually with prayer and counseling she was delivered from this but it took its tole. Brothers and sisters in Christ must remember that while we mustnt glorify these thing, we should always be prepared cause the devil roams like a lion. He is sly and will try and strip you of your faith in the blood of Christ. God bless! Sean
  6. PRAISE THE LORD!!!! Thats the best news i have heard in ages! God be praised!!!!!!

    Self Defense

    Well I have spent a good portion of my life learning martial arts. While I havent been training the last few years I believe that we should defend the body that God gave us. If anyone wants to kill my body I will not hate them or curse but I wont give up my life unless God specifically asks it. My body is a temple and it will be treated as such. Sean
  8. Still praying for that child on this side. Almight loving God, I pray that your face would shine on the mother of the child. Show her that what she is thinking of doing is wrong and lead her onto the right path. Above all let Your will be done Lord. Amen
  9. Have been thinking about this one for a while. It must have been a hard decision to agree to gay marrages. For so long they said no but the gays can be persuasive. With enough bad publicity they could drag even Disney through the dirt. That would mean no more for the kids so they probably decided to take the knock. So I blame the gays, not Disney. Sean
  10. Interesting. Well the church would probably have a safehouse set up. I would probably move my family and loved ones there and keep up there. Food would be hard to come by but considering the other problems we would be having I believe it would be bearable. Guess we will have to wait and see. Sean
  11. I have felt Him, heard Him and experienced Him so no, no its impossible that there is no God. Sean
  12. I still havent seen this one! Is it really good?
  13. I guess I would. I gotta admit that I think that the scientists should leave farming to farmers. Featherless and beakless KFC chickens are kinda gross!
  14. Well the man should shouldnt even have a choice. My mothers church is going through a similar problem except the pastor there had the nerve to RUN! He up and left telling only one member of the church! What is the deal with these guys?!?! Sean
  15. Just read this now! Incredible! I will keep praing that God softens this girls heart and lets the father keep his child. God be praised! Guess all we can do now is pray and wait. Sean
  16. Disgusting! The only consolation is that the baby killers will pay for their sins. When all legal mumbo jumbo is removed and its just them and God THEN we will see them beg. God, please bring justice to this world! Sean
  17. Hi there sister! The anwer is simple. Satan. The enemy will go to any length to destroy souls and ruin God given relationships. I pray that these killings will stop but its just another sign that we are not long for this world. The Lord is comming and when He does there will be justice. God bless you! Sean
  18. Hello there! Yeah, I have never been sold on Disney. Its all about business and it just so happens that family entertainment is BIG business. So in a nutshell Disney isnt about family, its about business.
  19. Im a firm believer in the Holy Spirit. Some "Christians" think of Him as a figment of the imagination. Can you believe that?!?! Anyway, He is the helper and counseler. I asked to be filled with the Spirit when I gave my life to the Lord and He has been with me the whole time. I feel Him at times and know that through me the Holy Spirit can perform miracles. Well that about sums it up. All I can say is that I would be lost with out the counsel of the Holy Spirit. God bless!!! Sean
  20. Hi Lostsoulmate! Im new here but I can tell you that you will find people that care here. Brothers and sisters that love the Lord and will love you. I will be praying for you. I havent gone through anything like you are going through but still, if you want to talk please feel free. The door is always open PS: I thought of that old story of the footsteps in the sand. Let God carry you in this time. We should always walk with God but sometimes God wants to carry us. May God hold you close in this difficult time Sean
  21. Sorry guys, Im no theologist but didnt Jesus say that He came NOT to do away with the old ways? Like I said before, Im not the "go-to-guy" when it comes to scripture but Im sure Im not wrong. Sean
  22. Hi there LadyC! Being tricked never feels good but isnt it great that we get to carry on afterwards with the knowledge that we wont make the same mistakes again. Like you said, God sees all and there is no shame in making a mistake. Have a blessed day and God bless! Sean
  23. Well the Russians werent exactly America's best friend. I guess the disdane for the reds has been carried over even in this time of peace (with the reds). I have always thought of communism like this, "its a great idea in theory but so is a monarchy". Once you put these things into practice they go horribly wrong. Just my 2 cents Sean
  24. With all the talk about rock music and its potention negative effect of youth I thought this would be a something encouraging. For those of you that dont know korn, its a band that plays pretty heavy music. They arent exactly the kind of guys you want to bring home to meet your parents. I while back the lead guitarist gave his life to Christ and left the band. This was a huge step because he went from multi platimun band to stand alone Christian. It bridged a big gap cause many kids that came to Christ had very few role models (besides Jesus) in the faith. I was encouraged by this and thought I would bring it up. The website is www.headtochrist.com. Its a little dark and depressing but that is just the artists style I guess. Watch the video under the media section and be inspired. God bless Sean
