  How to counsel a brother’s out of wedlock pregnancy

  A young Christian brother in his early 30’s (although I’m not entirely sure he’s born again - has the head knowledge but very little fruit), had been living with his girlfriend which I told him 6 months ago to either marry her quickly or move out. Didn’t heed the advice and now she’s pregnant. Of course they broke up right before they found out. She was threatening to call cops, berated him for not making enough money, threatened to cheat on him so he would take the break up seriously…

  Seeking book recommendations on (lack of) fairness of God judging mankind

  How's it going all? TLDR will be in bold. (Edit: I am from a Christian perspective, but I am attempting to take the opposing POV as fairly as I can.) So, I am taking an English class this semester. One of our assignments will be to write a research paper on any topic of our choosing. We need to provide double digit worth of sources for this paper. At the same time, I am taking a philosophy class. Earlier this week the phil professor was going on a speech against Christianity from Genesis 1-3 and creation.

  A hymn I wrote

  I wrote this poem/hymn in a time of great prayer, reverence and worship to God. I hope it can be of great edification to you all!- O That Wonderful Saviour [Verse 1] As I look upon that hill, that cross, my Saviour still. And as before he cried “Lord not mine, but your will”. He carries my sins from past and to till, And the words of old became fulfilled [Verse 2] For I rejected him from my inn Oh my iniquities abound within And he was crushed for my sin! What great did my Saviour win? [Verse 3] But how great that saviour

  Which seminaries are best for Minister of Education roles?

  I'm a reformed-leaning member of a Southern Baptist church, and an online seminary student. I'm looking to transfer to a different seminary because my seminary is weak in the areas of Bible teaching, church education, and administration. The roles I want to prepare for the most are education, discipleship, and administration-oriented. What seminaries are most strong in that realm? I'm open to reformed heavy schools, but they don't have to be. Edit: clarification about Southern Baptist submitted by /u/jonesderek76 [link] [comments]

  Becoming a member at a PCA church very soon. Do I need to agree with everything?

  I've been going to a great PCA church near me. The sermons are longer than what I'm used to and due to some medicine I take it is hard for me to stay focused during sermons because I get drowsy in the mornings, but the people are friendly and the music and nostalgia is wonderful. After going through an inquirer's class (due to my sleep issues I missed several weeks) I am being encouraged by the pastor to fill out some stuff to become a member.

  The Mind of Christ in a Believers Life

  I know that I’m not alone in saying that our fallen minds tempt, cloud our vision and to some up the multitude of other things the human mind does, torments the believer with a vast array of thoughts. I never questioned my faith because God is the one who started this good work in me and other regenerate Christians, but I have a hard time connecting my regenerate soul, enlightened by the word of God, and full of the Holy Spirit (Christ Himself), and the depravity of my mind.

  I am 100% convinced of the Reformed Faith, but do not find it comforting

  I want to preface this by saying that my son recently let us know that he is struggling with his faith and currently considers himself an agnostic who is open to being wrong. To his credit, he is meeting with our pastor and studying some fairly in-depth material on the resurrection with him. I recognize that I have some emotional stuff going on with all of this.

  St. Augustine on Operative and Cooperative Grace

  And who was it that had begun to give him his love, however small, but He who prepares the will, and perfects by His co-operation what He initiates by His operation? Forasmuch as in beginning He works in us that we may have the will, and in perfecting works with us when we have the will. On which account the apostle says, “I am confident of this very thing, that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.” (Philippians 1:6) He operates, therefore, without us, in order that we may will; but when we will,
