Would you encourage a child, discourage a child or simply do nothing to the child if he/she is pretending he/she is Jesus. Scenario: two children are acting out Bible stories and one of them says, "I am Jesus" and then acts out the story.

At what age did you all expect your children to be able to sit in a sermon and pay attention well enough to be able to tell you what it was about so that you knew they were indeed paying attention? How did you go about training them to pay attention? I am asking because I am wondering if I'm expecting too much, too little or about right out of my kids.

My 2-year-old son wakes up just about every night around 3:30 and wants to get in bed with us. I put him back in his own bed and he goes right back to sleep. Any suggestions on how to help him stay asleep in the first place???

Chores

Do you make chores fun for your children? I do because I want them growing up thinking worlking can be fun. I try to, but it always doesn't work or they are in trouble, and there is no fun when trouble has brewed. here are examples I do. I refer to cleaning house as "a house cleaning party" everyone likes parties and just throwing in that extra word makes a world of difference. I also bought both the girls an apron that they decorated. The love wearing their aprons.

You raise your child in a Christian home and environment. Christian school, and with Christian love. Now they’re over 18 making their own decisions but not the right ones, and not the ones they were taught, what can you do they are adults now. I know that Many will will say all you can do is pray for them or they will come back to the things of the Lord later. The world or evil is pulling them in and their fellow shipping with non-believers which we know is not a good step. My question to you today is, if the rapture took place today, would your love one be left behind for turning back into the World.

I belong to a Christian dating site. I REALLY hate it but how else will you meet someone these days. At church I think everyone is married (with exception of a very few). Plus it's a small church. Anyway, as I look through the endless profiles of professing Christians I can't help but notice a great deal of hypocrisy. There are many who say they are Baptist (or other conservative denominations) and have that they drink and/or smoke. Some even pose with their shirt off. It bothers me when I read this nor am I impressed by such behavior. Not that I expect everyone to live as I do, but I do believe that this man should have higher standards then the average person. Am I…

I Peter 4:9 says, "Use hospitality one to another without grudging." The word grudging means murmuring. Hospitality simply means to give one's own desires up to fulfill the desires of others. Certainly a lost virtue!

"Christian parents need to understand that the government-operated schools in the USA are propaganda mills for the anti-God, leftist idealism. They are social laboratories in which your children are the guinea pigs. We recommend and urge families to do whatever you must do to get your children out of such incubators."

I know this isn't the best category where my topic should be, but couldn't figure out where else to put it. As I posted in one of my previous topics, I need prayers because I have doubts about God, and I also noted that I have problems at school. In my opinion, this isn't a problem that should be taken lightly, so I want some counsel from you. We all know that the Lord Jesus Christ was greatly persecuted in His days, and also His disciples saw a great persecution. He forewarned us of that. We also know that throughout the centuries there were faithful disciples who were persecuted and put to death many times, and they still endured and were content in the Lord. I …

The first time the word humble is heard. Today when Christians are being humble, many time they are being taking advantage of, how should they respond today. I believe we should all have a open mind, and watch out. If we must used the laws to reply, or sometimes force, this does not make you a non-humble person. Exod.10 [3] And Moses and Aaron came in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, How long wilt thou refuse to humble thyself before me? let my people go, that they may serve me.

Married folks how do you handle when others flirt with you? What about when they ask you out? Or when the opposite sex puts their arm around you, pats or rubs your back. I often take my wedding ring off at work while doing procdures (blood and diamonds don't go together :oops: )and forgot to put my ring back on. Although I am a chunky girl, I still get asked out and flirted with. I usually say "my husband don't let me date" and slip my ring back on. and walk away. The other thing is I work with a bunch of touchy people. The men and some women I work with will come up give you a hug, rub your shoulders and even put their arm around you. It is all in a friendly mann…

Forget what its called, but I just love this new product...its like a baby teether but at the end there is this little mesh bag and you put fruit or ice or whatever in it, and close it in the tight lock, and baby can chew and suck on it without fear of choking. (I think it was invented by a father who lost a baby from choking... :( ) Anyway its neat because I have been letting Andrew chew on fruit in one while we eat, then he stays safe and busy until I can get to him again. You can find it in the feeding stuff in the baby section.

I am not talking of spanking, I am talking of stuff like saying excuse, and such. I will give an example, and I also will ask that my example not be picked apart. It is just an example of what I talking about. Today at the pool Sami kept cutting other kids off, walking right in front of them and such. I am not saying she was doing it on purpose to be mean, she just wasn't watching what she was doing. So I informed her she shouldn't be rude and to stop getting in front of others. My natural tone of voice is usually harsh with a little colorful language thrown in for variety. I'm not the type to go "now honey don't do that" I am more of the type to say get your…

Hello, I am a recently divorced 38 year old man. My exwife had an affair, refused to reconcile, and became physically abusive towards me. I'm ready to move on after much prayer, fasting, and good Biblical Counseling with my pastor. Our church runs about 150 on Sunday morning. There is a 28 year old woman that has caught my eye so to speak and I would like to pursue a relationship. I have NO IDEA how to court, as I was unsaved when I began dating my exwife. I want to do things the right way now. For those of you that have adult daughters in the church, do you want the man to ask for your permission to date her before they begin dating? How do you …

Recently, I've been extremely confused about what the process of courtship is supposed to look like in my life. I was saved at the age of 10 but raised in a non-Christian household. When, I was 18, I left home because I wasn't allowed to attend church, read my Bible, etc. My parents (more specifically my dad) did not want me practicing Christianity under their roof and ultimately gave me the choice of renouncing my faith or moving out. Today, I have a relationship with my mom but my father is still refusing to speak to me and has vowed not to walk me down the aisle when I get married. I have been attending a small (50 people) independent Baptist church for a little while …

I need some help on this. I have cut my kids out of my life. Between the three of them they have stolen over 30 thousand dollars from me, antique jewelry (including both my grandmothers' wedding rings and my mother's engagement ring). They constantly tell me what a horrid mother I was to them when the two who have children have abandoned their children (one decided that drugs and partying were more important than her two little girls and the other and his "wife" also decided that being responsible was more than they wanted to do).I know I was not perfect, we had some pretty hard times and maybe I didn't handle things as well as I should have...BUT...all three were taken t…

I have deleted all my posts. Sorry. I will not post. Please delete everything. It is not wise for me to post here. I came here for fellowship & help. I have no where else to talk so I came here. I am sorry any trouble I have caused. I should have NEVER joined this site. I am very down & confused by everything in my walk with the Lord. I know it was wrong to vent. God Bless.

How to develop a life of Holy Meditation and Godly Devotion ~ By John Young Psalm 55:17 Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice. Morning: Personal Devotions A good morning starts with the prier day. Be sure to go to sleep early to get enough rest and wake early enough that you are not rushed for the morning activities. Upon waking offer a quick prayer of thanks to the Lord (Psalm 5:3) and a pleasant greeting to any loved ones, shower and prepare your morning drink of choice. In a quiet uncluttered place bring your drink and bible with a simple note book and pen. Start with a reverent prayer of thanks an…

Often we talk about what not to do while dating/courting. But what should we do? What kind of activities are good? How should we act?

I hope I did not imply that the translators were inspired; they did not say anything like that of themselves. I would like to know if some of the members of this forum consider the KJV as the word of God in English, as I do. If anyone claims that the KJV is the word of God, then it is (for them, at the least) inspired. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, 2 Timothy 3:16a "We know where God's word is now..." does not make that clear to me. -

Yet, when taken out of context they breed the likes of Ruckman. We know where God's word is now... apparently you're being intentionally obtuse considering you quoted from it. -
A sandwich tried to get a reservation at a restaurant, but the waiter said they don’t serve food there. There are three types of people: those who can count and those who can’t. He was addicted to the hokey pokey, but thankfully, he turned himself around. I finished the puzzle in six months, even though the box said it would take 4 to 5 years. I’ve had amnesia for as long as I can… It was an emotional wedding — even the cake was in tiers.

Thank you for responding. I did not catch that part. That brought to mind a two part question. These verses: Isaiah 40:8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth; but the word of our God shall stand forever. and Matthew 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. If you think these words are true and that His word is for ever, where is it now?

So .he believes not only in the "preservation" of the Bible for the English speaking people to be the KJV, but that it's also "inspired?" He apparently believes in the double inspiration theory put forth by the likes of Peter Ruckman. Sorry, but you'll NEVER get me to buy into that position.
