    Read the word of God day and night and desire God with all your might. There are going to be times you when feel like giving up, and these feelings of doubt will start to come up, but humble yourselves, and do not stop.

    What can I do if I am always feeling like I am far away from God?

    Community Answer
    Pray! When you meet someone for the first time and you are interested in being friends then most likely you would speak to that person on a regular basis so that you could get to learn more about the individual, and if the communication stops, then the relationship weakens. Likewise is our relationship with God. By praying constantly and reading and meditating on his word, we will be able to build a strong relationship with him. So whenever you feel far away from God, just pray!

    How do I get away from doubt?
    Community Answer
    For Christians, the only thing God in Triumvirate requires of you is to have faith. On a practical level, that starts with the understanding that doubt has no reality except in thoughts alone; and that thoughts are only that, and are not what you are or what value you have. Only you can determine, acknowledge, and let go of thoughts that disturb you. Practice thinking that affirms and supports you. Reading, studying and community with others in faith is your path.
  • Question
    How would I know if God is talking to me? I ask him to actually speak to me, but he won't. And is it ok if I learn his word through videos instead of reading the Bible?

    God speaks to us today through his word, the Bible. This is the major way he uses, and sometimes he uses humans too. It is very important to confirm everything learned, even from videos, in the Bible, because it isn't false or deceptive, neither is it misleading.
  • Question
    How can I understand the word of God and get revelations?
    Community Answer
    There is nothing in this world that can make you understand. Only God can work through the Holy Spirit and work through you. Pray to God daily, praying that he will reveal Himself to you, and you will surprised at how he may answer. Talk to your pastor or a spiritual counselor you may have. Once you get who God is, you can dive into the Word and find out who He is and just how great his love is for you.
  • Question
    I want to have a strong desire to read the bible, but when I do I don't get an excitement or willingness to continue. Any tips?
    Community Answer
    The feeling or desire of the Holy Spirit comes and goes in periods -- not one is better than the other, they're just feelings. The important thing for you is to keep praying, keep trying. Being a Christian on your own is difficult. Find a church, and go often. Christianity is a community -- we need each other. At church we read, listen and talk about the bible together, and it is much easier than trying to do it on your own all the time.

    Pray about it. The more you strive not to sin, the more you won't want to.
  • Question
    Do I need to be in the Church of Christ to be saved?
    Community Answer
    No, you just need to accept that Jesus Christ is your lord and savior and that he is the one true God. You need to admit that you sin (do bad things), repent, and ask forgiveness.
  • Question
    Is being led by the spirit and waiting on the Lord part of the same concept?
    TreeofHolz
    Community Answer
    Yes, this is all a part of the same concept, as the Holy Spirit (Spirit of God), Jesus (Lord, Son) and God (Father) are all apart of the Trinity. To "be led" does not always mean to move, sometimes it means to wait until He prompts. Romans 8:14 "For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God." Psalm 114:10 "Teach me to do Your will, For You are my God; Let Your good Spirit lead me on level ground."

    Who should a pastor pay tithe to?

    A pastor may give tithe to the local church or to the church governing body to which the pastor belongs.
  • Question
    Is not tithing a sin?
    Community Answer
    It depends on why you aren't tithing. If you aren't tithing because you have nothing to give, there is nothing wrong with it - what could you be expected to do? On the other hand, if you have a lot of money and refuse to tithe because you don't want to give anything away, that is the sin of greed.
  • Question
    How can I hear the voice of God when He is trying to tell me something?

    Yes, you can. That is why He would speak to you. Being turned to Him, keeping everything secondary to Him, will help you concentrate. You might benefit with praying and seeking His help in listening better.
