I agree, Peter. We shouldn't go out and investigate everything we eat for minor ingredients, if we can be justified in believing it is fasting (e.g. pita bread). At the same time, we shouldn't purposefully avoid reading ingredients and act as if we …
Does anyone know of powerpoints in English that have the spiritual songs with music in the background and the text appearing, etc.?
I heard that this is becoming big in Egypt. The preacher usually starts the powerpoint and people just follow along.…

Greetings in Christ.
Hey everyone,
I was wondering- is it bad to eat things that have gelatin in them during the fasting season?
I cant taste it and only recently learned t…
Yeah, brother you are being very clear :)
I too like hymns that are recorded "naturally" (as you say). So, you cleared up my confusion about why people record hymns 'live' or without the intent to teach. . .
But why do people record hymns for the…
Welcome to the site, brother.
I listened to the recording - you have an amazing voice. May you continue to use it for the glory of God.
As you said, the quality of the recording was low. Once you fix that it will be much better.
Please don't t…

I am honestly repeating those words. I remember a former time, where I could be in church, walk out and because of the experience, wonder how anyone could d…

That's funny you bring all that stuff up because some people dedicate their whole lives to finding a natural explanation for all the phenomenons in the Bible. . .they're called unbelievers.
Begin by listening to the podcasts I linked. I just listened to the "God and Science" recordings and found them edifying. May God reveal His wonders to you.
Try listening to these from Ancient faith radio:
God and Science pt. 1 (Clark Carlton)
God and Science pt. 2
Darwin and Christianity pt. 1/17 (Fr. Thomas Hopko)
I recommend listening to some of these podcasts. . .they are usually very good.

Dear brother,
I had similar doubts several years ago. A friend turned me to a book called Darwin on Trial by Phillip E. Johnson. READ IT, PLEASE! (Check your library).
I know you don't want to read another book and want a simple answer. But if y…

In my opinion, if you really believe that it is because of God's grace that you get high grades, you will have no problem sharing them. Every time you lie to hide the good things God has given you, you hide the glory of God.
So, share the high gra…
