Forgiven Christians Ministry understands there are many folks throughout the world who love the Lord with all their hearts, yet for one reason or another are unable or uncomfortable attending a local Church.
Perhaps it is a physical restriction, or an uncertainty of which denomination to identify with, or issues of anxiety in crowds. Some folks feel they can worship the Lord best in the magnificence of nature, and others have a "hermit's heart" - feeling most comfortable worshiping the Lord in the solitude of their homes.
Well, Joe has experienced each of these seasons. We believe in the gathering of believers to worship and glorify God, and to join in community to support and fellowship with one another, yet we also believe this can be accomplished in small groups and even when "two or more are gathered together" in Jesus' Name.
In his quest to develop a non-denominational - non-biased - understanding of Christianity, Joe Schooler has found spiritual support through the broadcast ministry of Protestant preachers like Charles Stanley (In Touch), Adrian Rogers (Love Worth Finding), R.C. Sproul (Ligonier Ministries) and John MacArthur (Grace to You). Developing a more intimate relationship with Jesus is Joe's highest goal, and he has gained much insight from his brothers and sisters in Christ, regardless of denomination.
Please feel free to consider this as a support website if you are going through a season where you are uncomfortable in a traditional church environment, and let us know how we can serve you in Christian fellowship.
Contact Joe with anything from prayer requests to questions to advice on how he can serve you better at joe@forgivenchristians.org .

Devotional
At the Last Supper, Jesus washed the feet of the Apostles. How often I catch myself in the act of pride - either thinking of myself as someone "to good for that line of work" or who looks the other way when confronted by a stranger.
Here we see Jesus, knowing His fate and the actions of his followers, grabbing a wash basin and towel and cleaning the dirt off of His friends. What a lesson we have in how deeply Jesus loves us in spite of the filth we have in our hearts. Let's understand He washed away our iniquity. We need to understand the Holy Spirit is living within us. We should desire to keep our hearts pure. Let's reach out to unbelievers with kindness and service.
Please visit the "Devotional of the Day" page for more devotionals and Scripture study.
"Do you know what I have done to you? You call Me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's feet." John 13: 12-14
This is a Christian non-denominational site. In addition to the services noted, discussion of Apologetic issues is welcome.
It is not our intention to use this as a forum for criticism of Christian denominations; we will, however, discuss discrepencies where fundamental doctrines are compromised. We are here to support and inspire you as you grow in the joy of the Lord and accept your position as a tremendously loved child of the Most High God.
Live in the joy of the Lord, stand for the truth of the Gospel, and study the Scriptures. To know Jesus, we must dig deep into the Bible.
One of the wonders of the Bible is that we can read it every day for the rest of our lives and always, always receive new revelations. Every time you open the Bible can be an "Aha!" moment.
