Not sure if this is the right forum, but a washing machine is electric, so... I loaded up my washer a while ago and started it. A little bit later my whole laundry room was filled with smoke. My washer was trying to spin out but couldn't drain. Now something could be frozen in there (my laundry...

Would everyone please pray for the healing of my niece's baby? She's about 6 months old and has pneumonia.

Reposting this from another thread which has strayed off-topic: I grew up in a Baptist church (obviously) with Nazarene relatives outside of my own parents. I don't know how many arguments and debates went on between my family members, but most of the confusion came from some relatives...

One of my daughter's friends is pregnant and has made up her mind to have an abortion. Well, today her mom took her to a clinic and they started her on medicine to dilate her cervix to make it easier for them to remove the fetus. Why is she doing this? Because she's a cheerleader. This is...

I am asking for prayer for my friend, Stacie. She went to the ER tonight with severe pain in her side and was told she needs to have her gall bladder removed in the morning. She's in a lot of pain, very upset about it, worried about the surgery and anesthesia, sad about missing out on...

I would like to ask for prayers for my teenage daughter and her friends and classmates (and teachers). One of their friends was in an accident recently and everyone has been praying for him to recover. But today he died. Please pray that these young adults will be comforted despite having to...

Are there any other Food Network junkies out there? I confess to spending way too much time watching it. My favorite shows are Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives, Iron Chef America, and Dinner Impossible. Anybody else love these shows?

I've been active in online Christian communities off and on for the last six years. And it has been my experience that atheists generally have one of two motives for joining Christian online communities: 1. They truly desire to learn more about Christianity and seek Christian's advice and...

Christians, we are called to witness to the lost and unsaved. We witness with the Word and with our speech and our actions. So when unbelievers come to this site, I often wonder what they think about us. How well do we represent Christ, his life and all He taught? I wanted to start this...

For anyone who is diabetic and on insulin, I thought I'd share something I found out today: Did you know that some types of insulin are available over the counter in America? :yes That's right, my mom went to Walgreens in Texas and bought herself some. I called my local Walgreens and they also...

What was your favorite book from childhood? Mine was the "Ramona the Pest" series by Beverly Cleary. I loved her books so much, I wanted to be Beverly Cleary! (I still dream about writing children's books) :study

Two of my kids now have their driver's licenses and I am having so much difficulty letting go and not worrying about them every single time they leave the house! Does any parent have any advice for me on how to let go? I pray for them and I keep trying to give the whole matter to God. I know...

Does anyone have any thoughts on Judas' fate after he betrayed Christ and then hung himself? Some believe that Judas will spend eternity in hell because he betrayed Jesus. But Matthew 27:3-4 tells us that he repented: "Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned...

Do you ever waste time doing something you enjoy but that has no apparent purpose? This is meant to be more of a fun thread where we can 'fess up about those things we do for no good reason. How would you finish this sentence: I waste too much time... Personally, I waste too much time playing...

Has anyone ever considered that there may be a difference between "heaven" and the "kingdom of God" or the "kingdom of heaven?" http://www.wor.org/Books/h/heavking1.sn.htm If you follow the links on this site, you will eventually find a page leading to the Foursquare Church...

Hi all, I have a relatively minor prayer request. My 17 yr old daughter's wallet came up missing today. It has her brand new driver's license (she just passed the test today), social security card, work ID card and $150 cash (she cashed her paycheck) in it. Would anyone please pray that the...

I just wanted to share a proud parent moment with you all: Today while my teenage son was at work (he's a sacker at a grocery store) he was returning a cart from the parking lot and found a money bag. He opened the bag and found $1400 and a bunch of checks written to one man. He figured the man...

I'd like to get your thoughts on this question: Where was Jesus between the time of his death on the cross until the time of his resurrection? I know his body was in the tomb, but where was His Spirit? When Jesus spoke to the thief on the cross, He said, "I tell you the truth, today you will be...

Any other Big Brother (US) fans waiting in anticipation for the new season to start July 9? I admit I get hooked on this show every summer. It's fascinating to watch how strangers interact with each other and then grow closer over time. I don't care for the disputes, but it is interesting to...

Not sure where to put this question, so I'll throw it in General Talk. I've been meaning to ask someone how to quote another post with their name. I can quote by highlighting the text and hitting the quote button, but I don't know how to insert the original poster's name. I used to be active in...
