Where can I chat with randoms

When I started chatting with people online somewhere between 1998 and 2007 I was both volunteering at a big Christian ministry where anywhere multiple ministries had ads online Chat requests funneled to their ministry and us volunteers chatted with those people. I did that for a long time before FB was a thing and a while after.  When I went off on my own, the odd named sites I liked to go into had a chat room area where you could just chat with anyone and had to catch your chat 1:1 or 1:2 as it rolled by so yiu could reply. I liked that. Some were really fast blowing by you cuz of how many were in General Chat. I like General chat bcuz the world isnt actively looking into religion and those chats get silo'd to the religion or Christian chat room as if to push us to be in there. I do not want to get stuck in there if I am there for seeking gospel convos and fishing with a lure to reel one in at a time.  I will note that time can get away from you while reaching the lost or min...

Ministering to those with Cancer

Image
Someone I know has Cancer Q: I would like advice on how to reach someone for Christ. Our church congregation is blessing a local family this Christmas, and I’m the “point person”. I am the contact person for the family. The family was chosen because the mom is battling stage 4 cancer. Words like terminal have not been used, but what she has is inoperable. I’m in daily contact with the lady, and I have found small moments to share my faith & give God the glory, but I feel a tugging on my heart to go further. The husband has said they are not church-going folks, and I do believe that the mom at least “knows of God”, but I haven’t asked about their relationship with Jesus. I know about evangelism, and participated lightly in a ministry in college, but I stumble over words and don’t want to be insensitive to this persons situation. I also don’t know when it’s the “right time” to open up a conversation. I know that God will give me what I need when I need it, and it will be the Hol...

using ai gptchat or bard to get transcripts

Image
You have likely heard of gptchat, it has been in the news a lot in 2023. It is very new. There are several ai generators besides gptchat and another one is google bard.  Bard is free so it might be more convenient useful to use. In the past we had no idea where the data set came from yet it provides output material. We have since learned ai prior to Sept 2021 was (no surprise) using data with a liberal data set, in other words, you cannot really trust what it gives you.  Now it is connected in real time to things on the internet, but you have to be wise, use discernment and give very specific detailed prompts for it to return decent data, however even then you need to look at where it pulled that data from.  When getting religious or Christian answers you might find ai pulled material from catholic, mormon, other cults or other heretical churches (because theyve probably through pre ai era paid google to be being high in ranking responses when asking google direct search...

When witnessing to family using WOTM goes wrong...

When witnessing to family using WOTM goes wrong. Q: Recently my husband and I tried to witness to my dad the way Ray Comfort does - going through the 10 commandments when presenting the gospel.  It didn’t go as planned - he wasn’t willing to admit to being a sinner.  My mom, a long-time church goer, was defending him and was making it harder rather for us trying to help us reach him. Plus, During the conversation she admitted to having many doubts about the faith which  made us question whether she is a true believer.  A few days before this she had returned 2 books I lent her, Mere Christianity & More than a Carpenter, and said they were really good & interesting. I was shocked that she could read these books and still have so many doubts and questions about the Bible, God, etc.  I would love your prayers for my parents to come to faith and also, is there any book or resource you think I should consider giving or sharing to my mom, (or questions to ask ...

Door to Door testimony

Door to Door evangelism testimony: A man came home from work. His life had been falling apart for months. He had chosen to give up. He got home, took his gun out and loaded it. Took a seat in his recliner and put the gun to his head and pulled the trigger... CLICK. He threw out a few expletives and once again put the gun to his head and pulled the trigger... CLICK. He pointed the gun at the floor and pulled the trigger... BANG. Being startled he threw the gun across the room and began to weep, crying out to God... if You will not let me kill myself, give me a reason to live. KNOCK, KNOCK... He wiped his eyes and opened the door. Three people were standing there, unknowing of what had taken place a few moments earlier. They had actually been assigned to see a new convert and talk about joing the SS at the church. They got lost and when time was running out for to be back at the church, they saw a house with a car in the driveway and decided to knock on that door so they would have somet...

Why do people get annoyed at Christians

Q: I can't find where Jesus said to not annoy anyone when sharing the gospel. No matter where we share Christianity, at work, in town, door to door, or anywhere... people will be annoyed. A: We are told to Go into all the World and Preach the Gospel. That is what we are called to do. And when we go we are to give answers with gentleness, care and lovingly share the truth. This is what Scripture teaches.  There are more false converts in churches (and false religions claiming to be Christian with those addl false converts) than actually saved people. But among the true converts those who love God will share the gospel. They read the Bible regularly, and will serve in ministries too. Some will get equipped and join the church outreach team and make time to go into town or d2d to reach those in the church area.  The purpose of sharing the Gospel is not to gain numbers of bodies in the pews but to share the gospel, plant seeds, and be faithful servants of Christ. If they get saved...
