I’m ashamed of that, considering all Jesus did for me, but it's true. Lately I challenged myself to just obey with a good attitude when asked, but even then, I feel so guilty knowing I didn’t want to.3. 27:17 {Celebrating Black History in Church?} Is it appropriate for a church to dedicate a service in celebration of Black History Month?

Thoughts?9. 55:27 {Can a Christian Attend a Catholic Mass?} My husband’s family is Catholic, and we are traveling to see them for Easter. They want us to go to mass with them, but I feel uneasy about it now that I am an active Protestant believer. Should we go?10. 59:08 {Lectio Divina & Spiritual Formation?} What are your thoughts on the Spiritual Formation movement including practices like Lectio Divina in non-denominational churches?
