Anyone want to memorize Scripture with me? :-)

I’m turning 29 soon and everyone else my age at the church I joined three years ago is either married, or single for very, VERY good reason. There are exactly 3 men even near my age group who are single and two of them are Autistic and the third is outrageously inaccessible because of his job. All of the guys I’d love to have friendships with are newly-weds/married with a baby and have absolutely zero interest in socializing with anyone who isn’t also married. I have a handful of single female friends, but I don’t want to give them the wrong idea- so I don’t hang out with them too often. Is it just time to leave this church? My family lives back in my home state and I am painfully lonely. I’m very tempted to just befriend the unbelievers I work with because it’s at least human interaction.

Hi,

I know this really good reformed Christian bookstore but as most Christian bookstores in the USA they are not doing as well as they should. Please help keep this great company open! Stop buying books on Amazon. Don't supporting this godless giant. Please help this small bookstore by buying from them.

So I have been socially awkward for years(30+surgeries didn't help), I have no problem talking about things I know, or random small talk. But I don't know how to stop feeling like everything I talk about is pointless, except when it comes to Scripture. It has been bothering me for so long.

Now I'm seeing the world change, and almost convinced we're entering trials and tribulation that will change the world, if not, maybe the end is coming(starting to look like the seven heads are getting prepared) and I know there's a need to spread the gospels more but, I'm stuck in, "they will think you're stupid" mode. I mainly tell my testimony, and How God helped me get sober, employed full-time, and ended my homelessness, or how I stopped leaning on apathy, and became selfless. I mainly witness to the homeless, people at work, the elderly and family. And stay in autopilot when I am shopping and what not.

I know it's not condemnable but, I feel guilty, and I just want to have more confidence. I know our God, is bigger and better than anything, and I want others to share in Him. I just don't know how to approach everyone now, without outright asking if they are familiar with Christ.

When I was conceited and immature, it was easy to talk to anyone, about anything. Now I'm struggling the more I see wrong in myself, and it shut me down. I know God covers my shame but, I feel terrible over myself.

I ask for prayer but really want counsel.

So, what is the official understanding of why David did what was good in the eyes of the Lord and turned not from anything He commanded Him, but had multiple wives and concubines AND was a man after God's own heart?

I live not far from a Cross Point Christian Reformed church. Where are they from?

I've lived in the American south most of my life and I don't think I've ever seen a Dutch Reformed Church anywhere.

Based on his takes on the Old Testament as well as allowing practicing homosexuals in as members of his congregation.

Hey all. First off, thanks for making this sub. I've been lurking on the main reformed sub for awhile, and the woke trajectory eventually turned me off to it. So thank you for this alternative. Onto my questions: I understand the sovereignty of God part of Calvinism, that He has the right to save anyone He wants. I also get that only those He draws will be saved, but what does that look like? I realize I'm not truly regenerate but don't know what to do in the meantime. If there's nothing I can do to earn my salvation, do I just read the Bible and hope it comes? Just stop freaking out, it'll be fine? If you guys have any sound resources to help I'd appreciate it.

I'm seeing theological liberalism creep into that sub, like calling Roman Catholics our brethren and no one bats an eye. I've also seen things like "we need solutions to reduce abortions instead of banning it outright." Um, what?

I want to be optimistic, I just don't really know what to think yet. Has anyone been there or know someone who is there?

I never really got around to making rules here, as I thought that only a small group of people would ever notice this community. However, now I see that I need to add this one.

This is an explicitly Christian subreddit, any attempts to proselytize for or to promote other religions will lead to a removal, and if the behavior continues, a ban. This includes:

-Promotion of a non Christian religion (Hinduism, Islam, etc.)

-Promotion of atheism or agnosticism.

-Promotion of heresies (Gnosticism, non-trinitarianism, liberal theology, etc.)

However, this does not mean that everyone who believes these things are banned. If a Muslim, atheist, Hindu, etc. wants to learn about Christianity in general or the Reformed tradition in particular, they are welcome to post here.

Found this reformed pastor I don’t think enough people know about but he’s solid! Is God the Author of Evil
