I'm trying to find Jennifer Lyons who with her husband Jamie were the leaders of a band called foreverafter.  They put out an album in 1999 and then seem to have fallen off the face of the earth.

I've done Google searches and can't seem to find her.  Does anyone know if they're still in ministry?  If so, how can they be contacted?

Thanks to anyone who can help.

In your opinion, what does it mean to be a Christian?

Do you have to be as good as possible? I mean I'm going to heaven anyways so why does it matter?

I have been searching for this song that was a big Christian song in the 80's--approx 1986. '87 or '88.  The group may have been Rock Solid or Solid Rock but I can find nothing on that name.

The lyrics go something like this--"Christians say that I live my life all wrong.  Won't someone show me the right way to get along. 

"If I have to live my life alone, I don't want to live.  Do I have to live my life alone or is there someone I can give...my life?...my love...all the joy that I feel...my hurts...my pain...

That is about all I can remember.  If you know the song or group name--please help.

Thanks

Before I directly ask a question let me explain my situation that I find myself in....Well a friend adressed me that my relationship with my boyfriend is not biblical and that I have to break up with him. This all started when she asked if he was a christian and I hesitated before revealing the truth which is "I'm not sure" He does go to church everyonce in a while which is about as much as I do...Anyway I know I am saved and I want him to be but my friend is almost certian that I shouldn't date him when the fact is she doesn't know him..she has never even talked to him. And she is a firm believer in a christian and non- Christian not being together at all but if you look at it from a certain perspactive it is a good witnessing opportunity....And his morals,values, and ideas about life match closely to mine so he comprehends the basic idea of christianity so he has no problem with going to church...Honestly all he is lacking is the relationship with God. I can be an example to him.  How would it look if I said"Hey your not a christian I can't be with you" When at the same time I make mistakes to and I have areas to improve upon myself...I can't just tell him I love him and actualy love him and then just turn around shut him out...As you can tell I am confused a bit and upset at my friends blunt demand...and in the midst of it all I am questioning myself. Which now I'm noticing how I need to start spending time daily with God rather than quick lil prayers. My heart is heavy with the great loads I continue to put on it...and I need to pray and I would be very thankfull for prayers!!!!!!!! So my overall question is " Could some one please give me some advice on what to do?" any little statement would hopefully help bring some clarity in my life!!!!!!!Another factor to this is now I'm thinking to myself "If I was a devoted christian would I have gotten into this relationship in the first place" "Nothing is impossible with God" "People change" "He isn't a bad person" "I did the rite thing when I stood up for my belief in no sex befor marriage and he said he will wait for me and he respected all the reasons we shouldn't and agreed that was the best route" 

*Thanks in advance*

I'm looking at possibly becoming a youth minister.

The problem is, the college that I'm planning on going to doesn't offer youth ministry as a major.

What is a good major for someone going into youth ministry?

I was thinking something versatile, in case I discover that youth ministry isn't for me.  Maybe along the lines of sociology?

 Any suggestions?

When I do helpful little things for certain family members, they see the opportunity to take advantage and try to make me do other things for them.  I can either withdraw and try to stay away from them so they can not bully me around, or I can tell them "no," and they will call me names for not cooperating.  How can I be helpful without giving people the impression that I can be bullied around?  I have prayed about it, but I still don't know what to do.

Ok, so I made a habit about a month ago of reading my bible for at least 15 minutes every night, and i've done a REALLY good job at keeping to it. Anyway,I finished Luke and I was left with one question: In many of the books in the old testiment, it says that on the Sabbath no work shall be done, it is to be kept holy, and it is a sin for any work to be done because it is a day of rest. Well, in Luke, it says how Jesus heals a man on the Sabbath in front of the Pharisees, and when they point out that he can't do that because it is a day of rest, he says that they are hypocrites because they have done work on the Sabbath too. My question is, isn't it still a sin to do work on the Sabbath, dispite the fact that the Pharisees did it too? It's not causing me to doubt my faith in any way, but I'd just like to know. I have a brother who is VERY against Christianity, and he is studying the bible, so it's only a matter of time before he asks me this and I want to be ready when he does. Thanks and God Bless

Christen

Why is it so hard for some people...like me to say that I'm going to do something and make it happen....is that me not putting the work into it?...for exmaple eating healthy I can never do it...I say no more junk food but, it never fails I eat me a huge bowl of icecream. Another problem I have is reading the Bible daily which is important but I'm so discouraged with myself because it never happens like I want it to...something comes up and I'm always making excuses never accomplishing what I truly want to accomplish...what can help me I have the motivation..I'm lacking something to keep me on track....

Hey all, I am a nerd and STILL haven't gotten a subscription to CCM Magazine.  I know, I need to quickly!  But, in the meantime, do you know how I can get a copy of this months magazine?  I don't think I've ever seen CCM in the stores...?

6 months a go i felt led to be a writer, so i've been writing and this is what i ended up with.

My Night Adventure                    By: ML Morris                 December 2007


        My adventure started when I died. I was asleep when I died, and contrary to popular belief it’s not a very peaceful way to die (well, I didn’t think so any way.). I was dreaming at the time, and I was walking in a forest of yellow trees covered with purple roses, snow white grass, where the sky was fire red, and the ostriches fly like eagles. As I was walking in this strange forest, I heard an awful sound, like a woman screaming, but deeper in pitch and jagged. Then I heard a voice saying, “The ending, the ending of a story too short to be known is coming.” The voice was not made by the same thing that made the screaming. It was friendly (if you can call what it said friendly) and familiar, like that little voice in the back of your head that tells you to get out of the dark and back to the light. Then, whatever was screaming started again, but this time talking, “I’m coming! I’m coming to do what I was created to do!” And then started screaming again. After hearing this, that little voice I talked about before told me to run, so I did. I ran and ran, and then the little voice told me, “Stop running, it is no use, for the monster is here, and he has come to do what he was created to do.”. So I stop, and waited for him, and waited, and waited, and waited, and (did I tell you I have a very short attention span) finally the screaming started again. Suddenly, something weird happened: I started feeling cold and calm (actually, it was one feeling but there isn’t really a word to describe that feeling, it’s like waiting for a snow flake to land on your tongue, or waiting for a good thing to happen in a uncomfortable place. Like I said, it was weird.). The more it screamed the stronger the feeling became. After an other long period of time, just when it felt like my ears were going to bleed, the screaming stopped. I looked all around me, not leaving my spot, searching for any sign of movement. As I was looking (it looked more like I was spinning in circles than looking) the forest started to disappear. It was gradual, like every thing was melting away, getting out of my way so I could see, until the ground was gone. After a while of standing on nothing, I finally found my self floating in mid air. Then, my child survival instincts kicked in, and so I did what any five year old would do in this position: I closed my eyes and screamed bloody murder, waiting for something to happen. After about five minutes of my screaming had passed, the little voice told me, “Open your eyes, and when you do, do not scream.”. So I did, and what I saw when I opened them was a giant. A twenty foot tall giant with wolf heads for hands and a elephant skull for a head. Seeing this, I did what the voice told me not to do, I screamed. Promptly after doing so I ran, but I didn’t get very far because he caught me before I could get 6 feet away. After catching me, he brought me face to face with him and started talking to me.
        “Are you ready to die?” he asked.
        “Wha'!?”  
        “Are you ready to die, and face judgment?”         
        “…..Uuuhhaa.. I guess.”
        “Good. Will you fight against me?”
        “No, why would I fight against a giant, that’s stupid.”
        “Because I am death, and man always fights against me.”
         “You’re death! I thought death was supposed to be a skeleton in a black robe carrying a scythe.”
         “A common misconception. Plus you’re dreaming.”
         “I am?”
         “Yes, for quite sometime now. You should really wake up and meet Tony.
         “Who’s Tony?
         “I’m Tony.” After hearing this new voice, I woke up to a very odd sight. An angel wearing a neon yellow suit (he said it’s lemon, but this is my account of the story and I say it’s neon yellow) and a black and white checkered neck tie.
         “Are you Tony?” I asked.
         “Yep.” He replied.
         “What are you here for?”
         “I’m here to take you to Heaven.”
         “Why?”
         “Because you’re dead.”
         “’Kay, does that make you a death angel?”
         “Actually I’m an escort, but yes I'm a death angle.”
         “So death angels don't cause death.”
         “No. I just take people to there destination.”
         “Hence the taxicab get-up.”
         “I’m only wearing this because you have a good since of humor, and also to prove a point. I usually wear a blue suit and matching tie.”
         “Odd. I was figuring that someone had a near death experience, saw you and decided to put it on a friend’s taxicab as a joke, but the colors were appealing and were used on the taxicab ever since.”
         “Well, that was the corniest thing I have ever heard.”
         “Thank you.”
         “Time to go now.” He said as he turned towards the door.
         “Cool, how do we going to get there? Will we fly or instantly pop there?”
         “Walk.”
         “’Kay, why walking?”
         “I like walking, and I thought we could talk as we went.”
         “OK, now how do we walk to Heaven?”
         “I’ll show you, just follow me.”
         I remember leaving my room, walking down the hall way to the front door, leaving the house, and walking down the drive. But nothing about the walk there, except the walk there and our conversation, is of no importance.
         My arrival to Heaven was not how I expected it to be. I was expecting to walk through great golden gates and to stand before God’s throne and have my life judged and be rewarded accordingly. But instead I just arrived, no pomp, no ceremony.
         “Um, Tony.”
         “Yeah?”                          
         “Are you forgetting something?”
         “No.”
         “Are you sure, because I thought I was supposed to be judged by now like it says in Hebrews 9:27, ’And as it is appointed unto man once to die, but after this the judgment:’”
         “That’s true, but not right after death. The Saved and the unsaved judging is not till the Great White Throne Judgment, at the end of the world. It doesn’t make since to judge people twice.  
         “I guess not.”
         “I got to go now. Here’s Cain to show you around and to answer any and all questions.”
         “OK, bye.”
          Let me describe Cain for you. Cain is a Seraphim, like in Isaiah chapter six, he was dressed in what looked like liquid fire that reached down to his feet and the only holes in it was the ones for his head and wings. The fire cloth (that’s what I called it) was a vibrant green, like spring grass. It is very tempting just to stare into it and watch it whip and ripple about.
         “Jenny, Jenny, Jenny? Jennifer!” he said, trying to get my attention.
         “Yes… oh… I’m sorry. I got drawn in by the beauty of your robe."
         “That’s alright, but there is more beautiful things here to see than this. Please, follow me.”    
         Cain led me around the city, showing me the mansions, the Temple of God, the tree of life, the tree of multiple fruits, and the many notable people of faith. While writing this, I wanted to describe the beauty of Heaven. I found that the human language is a very ignorant one. I can’t describe it be cause of the lack of meaning words have for the glory of God and His house. But I can describe how it feels to be there, though. It’s like having a song living inside of you. It’s like coming home to loved ones after a long journey. It’s the feeling you have when you're laughing nonstop for no other reason than to laugh. It’s the feeling of safety of a parent after a bad dream, like life was all a nightmare. Love in with form. Joy made a part of yourself. And what made this all so real is the inner knowledge that we’re with God and that this will never end. Another thing I can describe is a lady on a porch in a rocking chair, holding a baby (yes a baby). I found this quite odd myself, because people can’t have babies in Heaven. I inquired Cain about this.
         He answered, “The child is an abortion victim, and the woman is a faithful servant who had no children on earth. She is reworded with the rearing of the children."
         This was quickly followed by “Cool.” An other strange thing I saw were people sitting around a picnic table, others talking about their life on earth, some playing tag, and others sitting in lawn chairs drinking something warm. I wondered about this, because I thought people in Heaven were forever singing and praising God. I asked Cain and his answer wasn't what I expected.
         “We do praise worship God continually.” He said.
         “This is worship?” I asked.
         “Yes, we are God’s children, and being a Father He enjoys seeing his child play and enjoy the gifts he gives us. He wants us to fellowship with one another.”
         “How is that worship?”
         “It’s not. The Saved worship God the same way they did on earth, in there heart with singing and thanks. They are forever talking with Him, it’s a never ending prayer.”
         “So you never talk to Jesus or sing out loud?”
         “We do, I am just explaining how they are praising God now. You must remember the Saved never had the Holy Ghost leave them so they still worship the way the Saved on earth do, or should do.”
         “Wow.”
         “Are there any more questions?”
         “Yes. Can we see Jesus?”
         “No.”
         “Why not? Did I do something wrong?” I was in tears.
         “No, you did not do any thing wrong. He does not want you to see Him until you can stay with Him forever.”
         “Am--am I going some where?”
         “You are going back to earth.” As he said this, he put his hand on my forehead. ”Goodbye, Jennifer.” Then, he pushed me backwards.
         I hit the ground. It was pitch black. I lied there for a long time wondering where I was. It took me a while to finally realize that I had my eyes closed and that I was lying in my bed. I opened my eyes expecting to see my ceiling and hoping to see Heaven’s golden sky. What I saw was nothing I expected: I saw Tony.
         “Have fun?” He asked me.
         “Yes I did.”
         “Disappointed?” He asked as I sat up.
         “Yes.”
         “Thought you would be.”
         “Why am I back?”
         “To tell the world a story.”
         “Wha'?” I said, getting to my feet.
         “God wants you to write down your little adventure and share it with others.”
         “OK, why?”
         “He taught you things He wants you to tell others.”
         “Why me?”
         “He loves you.” (I heard that all my life, but it didn’t really kick in till I realized that God only uses man because He loves us and allows us to show are love by obeying Him.)
         “Wow.”
         “I have a gift for you, it’s in your closet.”
         “What is it?”
         “You’ll find out. Goodbye! See you soon.”
         “Not to soon I hope.”
         “Hahahahaha! That’s so old.”
         “How old?”
         “You don’t want to know, Old.” After waving goodbye, he left.
         And being the curious sort, I went (when I say went I mean I 'ran') to my closet, an inside I found the yellow suit and checkered tie. On the floor was a notebook, a pencil, and five erasers. After seeing the erasers, the first thing that popped into my head was, “Smart Alec.”

Help Me! I need some good advice! A relationship is at stake....Well My boyfriend....... how do I put this? He has posters in his room that are indecent of some singers and on his myspace has this very indecent video...I love him but I don't like the fact he likes indecentcy and "adores" unmodest people....I just don't get it...If I bring it up it won't change his true feelings.....then what if he just hides it? He says he loves me so I think that gives me the rite to adress the problem but frankly I'm afraid....I just really hate how ladies show off their bodies and get credit for being perfect when they are fake....Sincerely Miss Upset, Confused, and Afraid....
