    Find a church where you can serve well. Your own personal preferences and opinions may hinder you from finding a fellowship where you can minister in an effective way. Ask what you have to offer and find a church that needs you. You will be much more fulfilled by serving than you will by sitting in a chair with a bunch of others sitting in chairs listening to a worship band.

    The Bible does not instruct a Christian to pray every day. Prayer is talking to God. A Christian should “pray without ceasing.” You should begin your day with focussed prayer, continue to pray in your heart as you perform your activities of the day, take breaks throughout the day to speak directly to God in prayer, and retire to bed with another time of prayer. A conversation with God never ends. While you are conscious, it is always in your heart or on your tongue.

    How do I believe in Jesus if I don't believe in Jesus?
    Community Answer
    Read the Bible, go to church services, and talk to church members about their faith. Faith is something that will grow if it feels right to you. You don't have to believe to go to church; you just have to be open to the experience.

    What kind of tips are these? They sound like the script for Desperate Housewives.
    Community Answer
    These steps are useful to all Christians. Not only housewives go to church, read the Bible, and pray; this is a universal practice for all Christians, whatever their sex, age, occupation or background. If it's not something that works for you, that's fine but it's also important to be tolerant of other people's beliefs.
  • Question
    Is Jesus God or the son of God?

    Community Answer
    Jesus is God the Son. He is the son of God and God at the same time. It's a little confusing. You can put it this way: Jesus is the son of God so He can do anything that God can. That makes Jesus like God.

    King James Version Bibles can be hard to understand. You could look for a study Bible that has commentary, which means it tells about different passages. I also like to collect different translations of the Bible, such as New King James Version, Holman Christian Standard, New Living Translation, etc.

    If you believe in Jesus and pray to the Holy Spirit to come into your heart, you first must surrender your life to Christ and truly want to be free. Once you do Pray to God for you to receive the Holy Spirit and after some time you will feel that the evil spirits are leaving you. Never lose faith.

    As long as you submitted your life to Christ, you will always be a Christian. Pray to God for help, read your Bible, go to church, and maybe ask your fellow church members for help, like in a small group. The devil tries to make people think they are not saved, and that they committed the unforgivable sin, but that’s impossible.
