    destructive family members

    So sorry Forealz. For what it's worth I think you've done the right thing too. True, Jesus didn't cut us off despite our sin, but we are not Christ -despite are calling to be Christ like- and you keeping your distance does not mean he is abandoned. Most importantly, I'm just agreeing with the...

    Husband's use of inappropriate contentography before marriage.

    It's not that it doesn't matter - of course it does because it is clearly affecting you and you said that he feels like it is a stain on him too. But part of the power of inappropriate contentography to damage is not only in what it contains and the hurt involved in the making and viewing of it but in exactly...

    What about mistakes?

    Just a quick one, that may have been dealt with elsewhere but all the same.. Can/Does God, in his sovereignty and grace, act to cover the ill effects of error in the same way that he can redeem us from sin? What if something happens as a result of a genuine mistake rather than deliberate...

    What to write in Soldier's Bible? (Gift for my deployed husband)

    Or something from Ephesians 6 seems fitting. There must be hundreds of passages inspiring strength. Eph6 is massive but it's this: “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our...

    What to write in Soldier's Bible? (Gift for my deployed husband)

    Psalm 73. 23-36 is my favourite, it may be comfort in far away places, and provide courage and remind him of the great love he is held in, here and in heaven. Ps73: I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand. You will guide me with your counsel and afterwards receive me with...

    Would this be a red flag to you?

    probably just had a moment insecurity herself- overcautious and was just checking your daughter wasn't one of the ones who HAD to make her own lunch, rather than having the great time it sounds you did after she'd chosen to. I guess they might a look a bit the same (kid with own made lunch in...

    Would this be a red flag to you?

    I was too lazy to make my own lunch. Maybe I'd work harder now if I had!

    Sex before marriage

    Have to say not sure where the evidence is for this. In fact women are often incredibly disadvantaged in African countries (generalisation I know) but sexual rights and gender politics in traditional african cultures and laws are real issues in development. The 'protection' and 'provision' you...

    Is anyone here ultraconservative in this sense and am I the only one?

    Hey ladybug! Haven't read ALL of this thread in detail and don't know if you are still out there, but just to say- and I am pretty far from the ultraconservative after becoming a christian in my twenties- I think you are absolutely fine to be 'genuinely concerned about the effect kissing' in a...

    Theraputic radiographer

    Hi MercuryAndy! I think you've cracked it all the same- therapeutic radiographers are special kinds of radiographers. Basically, they sort out the wherewithall to give radiotherapy to people with cancer. They work out the doses, talk it through with them and press the buttons. There's a lot of...

    Love experts, help please

    yeah like rocklife said- this is a time you are coming back to God and that is the most important thing. Careful- its easy to confuse the idea of a christian life and closeness to God with being with, or getting to know a beautiful girl. Whatever happens between you, make sure it is your...

    Careers

    There is no problem with being 'defending the faith' or being a talented apologeticist as well as a successful businessman- its what you do that matters and through that, as long as you stay prayerful and open to God in the rest of your life, that God will bring you the opportunities to fufill...

    How much love is too much love?

    Hope it's not too late to catch you. One more thing: we are also meant have God's love for each other, or you can reach the same conclusion from the command to be christ-like. Either way, the love of God is immense and can never be too much. So the harder challenge is to always be truly acting...

    Help with praying out loud

    Like everyone else said- don't worry about sucking. I felt like this for years, and still do- but it's really only when I find myself thinking too hard about what words to use halfway started into a prayer that I go blank- and by then, to be honest, it's probably more an obstacle than anything...

    The ever shrinking dating pool.

    Man I feel a bit like this and I am only 27! Besides, did you say you had already been married? and i trust you're not an undesirable baggage laden divorcee- at least that is you clearly don't think you are past it yet so why should everyone else be beyond hope?! Abraham was promised children...
