Whether scripturally based or not I feel that the reason, if their truly is one, is because of the need for humans to procreate. I have always asked myself why God would create us men with that natural "lustful" urge to the opposite sex and I assumed because If perhaps he didn't there would be a...

Do not forsake the assembling. When I first got saved I hated all religion. Still do not care for religion-only Christ! Saying that I went several years without going to church until finding a great church home. My take-well worth it to be in the church. I occasionally teach my men's Sunday...

Exactly as others have said. I know firsthand that openly preaching Jesus can offend many. The preaching of the cross is foolishness to those who don't believe. Do not cast your pearls before swine....etc. Prayer is number one, the Holy spirit guiding them is two, and you will be three as you...

AND THEY ARE LEGALISTS THAT TOLD YOU THIS! When I first came to Christ I was told the same thing about the KJV and actually fell into that trap. All versions can let the Spirit of God teach. Heck, for that matter, the best sermon a person can "read" is to observe a person who walks and lives...

My take-just ended a 20 year marriage about two months ago. The actual marriage ended about 5 years ago(lack of compatibility and emotions). I realized that the only way to be ready for dating is to be completely over my ex(was)and be able to communicate and co-parent with her correctly because...

Totally get the avoiding sexual scenes-really do as I try to avoid the best I can. But always remember you are saved by grace now. Do not pick up that yoke and put it on-and worst of all put it on him! I struggled for years carrying these burdens in my life until I truly believed my pen name on...

Totally agree with the original poster. We are NOT PERFECT and we know the one who IS! EVERYONE will make mistakes in relationships! This gentleman is being honest and kindhearted to not let her emotions entrap him. He is only trying to do the RIGHT THING by gently telling her that he might not...

I hear ya. The reason it matters to me so much is that my ex had a bad problem with drinking and really don't even know if I ever want to be around "that" again. My biggest fear would be for my future wife to drink rarely on occasion and then at a later time develop it into a major problem-like...

Thanks to all the great responses! Yes, I have seen plenty that appear to be strong morally and might check the box that they drink socially. It seems they maybe don't drink but do not want to sound too strict for the rest of the people. I generally try to be careful and only talk to the one's...

Just officially finalized my divorce yesterday after being married for almost 20 years. It was very hard to do. I knew I had to because of her adultery and the two of us being unequally yoked the last 8 years but I found no sense of peace afterwards as some describe. The 7 months to get the...

Update: divorce was finalized and I did wait for that to happen before I did register for a couple of online dating sites. I do feel like the Lord is not wanting me to rush into anything at this time. I have two wonderful kids that I have really strengthened my relationship with during this...

Patience is a must! Jesus says that the road to heaven is narrow and very few will make it but the road to destruction is far and wide and very many will go that way. I just recently divorced from a long marriage where I spent the last 8 years unequally yoked to a non-believer. Right now I am...

Kinda looking for some feedback. I'm a guy and a woman's perspective would be helpful. The main thing I need to know concerns the drinking issue. I do not drink and haven't in 8 years. Quite content without and due to my recent divorce have witnessed firsthand the damaging effects on people(was...

First Get into the Word of God-that should be your first and last priority of the day. Second realize that God has a purpose and a pan for your life. Third-Stay in the book of Romans-particularly chapter 8. Memorize Romans 8:28 and repeat that always. Things WILL work together for your good-just...

Very tough situation indeed. I am kinda in the same boat. Currently seoar as separated and hopefully the ex will agree to sign in a couple months. Marriage basically ended three months ago due to her infidelity. Am I lonely? Most definitely, but I know any thing I start now is me forcing it. If...

All I can say is that love can't be forced. If she is not willing to give it a try then the best thing you can do is give her some space. I speak with experience that the more you "try to get her back" the more you will "push her away". Our hearts want to push, push, push, but the only pushing...

Separation is hard. I'm the Christian husband and the stbx(soon to be ex) is not one. She fights with abuse and foul immoral language, yet that is not an option for me. It gets hard sometimes and the negative thoughts do start mounting up. I find a few good songs will help lift me to the place...

Thanks for the responses. I will know what to do when I get to the church Sunday:)

Not really gonna debate about the issue of tithing. I've just decided that 10% is A good amount to give. Only question is whether its based on net or gross? If by a cheerful heart then I'm sure I already have my answer! Just curious as to the norm.

Not sure what your ex is going to want from you. Mine wanted everything and them aloy more. It caused me to search for help to "educate" myself about divorce laws. And yes, i was UY too for several years. Try some forums for dads going thru divorce. I love this website but the divorced and...
