9	Rooshv Converts to Orthodox Christianity and Shuts Down Casual Sex Talk on Forums It is good for a man to have integrity in his beliefs, but the phrase you're using is straight out of the Book of Judges. All sorts of wrongdoing in Israel are footnoted with: "In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes." The right thing in man's eyes tends to fall short of what is right in God's eyes.	/r/RPChristians	26/05/19 03:11 PM
1	Does God "help" at all? So my questions is how does God help when we ask for it? I cant really tell the difference between strenght from within and ´´strength from God´´. Maybe God has already given me everything I need to overcome the obstacles in my life, but why should I ask for help then? "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. " James 1:17 Whatever strength you have within is still a gift to you from …	/r/RPChristians	03/12/18 10:35 PM

2	Thoughts on Ben Shapiro and Milo Yinnopolous best pagan he can be Milo calls himself Catholic and does speak well for it. (atheist article analyzes Milo's public statements) Doesn't excuse the homosexual lifestyle, but pagan doesn't fit. Non-Christian is more accurate, though I feel there's a better word out there.	/r/RPChristians	10/10/18 11:45 PM
1	Do you fast? Spiritually motivated fasting? I've done 5 days twice. The 5 day fast was part of volunteering for a Christian conference - the leadership spent a week fasting and praying as prep for the day of conference. It was surprising to me that I was able to go that long. On the physical side of things, it gets easier on the 3rd/4th day. Doing it as part of a group was an important part of sticking to it. I've tried and failed doing a 5 day fast solo. Feelings of hunger go away, but I did feel weak for m…	/r/RPChristians	19/09/18 09:46 PM

1	Church has nominated a female Deacon This is a good point. God may be calling you to stay. How much have you prayed about it, and has God given you a clear answer? Let me flip the question. I have no calling to leave, outside suggestions from this thread. You are correct, probably no one else will. Keep in mind though, that a Christian's main mission is to share the Gospel, not fight against the culture. I'm not saying it's wrong to do so, but it shouldn't be our primary objective. Churched kids need the Gospel, too. Both to initia…	/r/RPChristians	04/09/18 09:08 PM
1	Church has nominated a female Deacon Your church is abandoning clear biblical instruction against women serving in positions of leadership. It really comes down to whose side you're on: God's side, or your church's side, because your church is engaging in something that God has instructed us not to do. And consider what may come next: women pastors? Gay deacons? Those are reasons to oppose this development. It's a slippery slope for sure, and you're more likely to get caught up in error if you stay. Plus you are in leadership there…	/r/RPChristians	04/09/18 06:30 PM
1	Church has nominated a female Deacon If they're already falling for the "culturally relevant" theme though you should be prepared to leave. I see multiple replies suggesting this, and I do fill roles that give that option bite. However, this is the church I grew up in, and I am fully committed to building it up. Is there a Biblical reason I should leave? What purpose does that serve?	/r/RPChristians	03/09/18 05:26 AM
1	Church has nominated a female Deacon As mentioned, deacons in my church serve on a board with the pastors. They act as the congregation's elected representatives to choose the direction of the church. IMO, the position corresponds with 1 Tim 3's "overseer/elder", whereas the officers who run the ministries are more akin to 1 Tim 3's deacon ("servant"). > All that said, if your church during elections gives an opportunity to ask questions or express concerns about a pending issue, why would it be at all inappropriate to do just that…	/r/RPChristians	03/09/18 04:24 AM

She sought to fit into his frame and he granted it. At no point did he devalue his own mission for her sake.	/r/RPChristians	31/08/18 09:10 PM
