Most of my life, my faith has ebbed and flowed. In 30 years, my faith that Jesus died for me and that there is one and only one God has ranged from complete and total belief to complete rejection of the concept.So do I make your grade?

You may notice that I have not made a post in about a month. That started because of a good thing. I was studying the Books of Paul and focused on The Word. But about two weeks in, I missed a day and I have still not made time each day to get back to my Bible. This is a pattern for me.

I have been praying about this for guidance as I try to determine where to draw the line on how much and what TV I watch. I did not vote in the poll at the top of the discussion, because I believe the answer is that it depends how much and what TV you are watching.

This is the spot between your peaks, when your only ministry is dragging yourself to church once a week.

What does it mean to Drive like A Christian? and then, do I drive that way?So I thought I would look at some other peoples opinions about How Would Jesus Drive. As I agree this is the more important question than What Would Jesus Drive. We are judged by our actions, not our possessions.

When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

In my early stages of belief, I was torn between belief and disbelief. I hope that this inspirational prayer that helped me will help someone else.Similar to the day I started this blog, This was the 1st occasion that I felt the Holy Spirit lead me to action.

It really is amazing how quickly you can get a website set up now. In two sittings, I have my own personal space on the web that I can post my thoughts and try to spread my Christian Faith.

It is an easy answer. I consider myself to be a won Christian. I was born to a Catholic family and raised in a Christian Church, but as a child my beliefs were superficial and shallow. My family and I never discussed God or Faith, or read our Bible, we simply went to church on Sunday and that stopped when I was young.

For anyone who has never heard this phrase or lived this phenomenon, it means that the Christian believes the Holy Spirit has tugged on their conscious until they submitted and performed the act. In my young Christian Faith, I have experienced the feeling of being lead just a few times in five years.
