Hi everyone, I work in a mental health unit and I recently had a Baptist patient with spiritual visions, both Godly and demonic, he was diagnosed with psychosis, but who knows what was actually going on. When he went home that family organised for his gifted cousin, who is 9 years old, to complete an exorcism on him. Is this safe? It doesn't feel like it. What are your thoughts?

My church does tithing, but I have encountered many christians saying it is an old testament, Levitical priesthood thing, and not for today. My response to them is the NT church needs to cover its expenses, and that is through the congregation paying for some, or all of it. So why would the amount given be different to 10 percent that was what the levites did? This isn't really showing the Biblical case for tithing now though. What is your understanding of tithing for now?

This poem was written for my pastor and his wife for Christmas.
Jesus In You
Day by day, and throughout all the years,
You both taught us by faith what was right and true;
You modelled our Saviour in word and in deed -
We learned so much about Jesus through you.
Faithfully trusting and serving our Saviour;
We are amazed by all that our God can do
Through those who follow in the footsteps of faith -
We know we can see Jesus living in you.
Through the years, I’m sure you’ve entertained angels;
By your example, we know our hearts grew too;
You showed compassion in your care for us all -
We see Jesus loving others through you.
You showed us this life’s not the end of the story,
You both modelled for us the eternal view,
In this world with all of its fading glory,
In the way you live, we see Jesus in you.

Acts 4:13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.
Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
1 Corinthians 11:1 Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
