    To tell or not to tell? Please help.

    Thank you ALL for your words - be they of rebuke, encouragement, or support - and your prayers. I have needed every single one of them. I am pressed for time now, but I do want to briefly share what has happened. After much self-debate, transparent prayer with God, and conversations with my...

    To tell or not to tell? Please help.

    This is my question: should I tell my husband that I cheated on him? It has now been three times. I haven't committed adultery, but I have in my heart. For more background, you can see my thread "Terrible Pattern" in this forum. Or find it in my statistics. Important Fact to Know: If I...

    Life, Work, Marriage

    I really need prayer right now. I am spiritually isolated and the enemy is tearing me down. My ability to resist temptation is very weak. I am physically in pain and experiencing runaway thoughts. Men flirt with me at work and I can't help but flirt back. It's a vicious cycle. Please...

    Terrible Pattern

    Thank you so much for your post! Your encouragement means a lot to me. I also really appreciate the Scripture that you've quoted. I am surprised that you're only 18 - you speak with a lot of wisdom. I am definitely stuck in some sort of bondage cycle. I want to forgive the men who have hurt...

    Terrible Pattern

    Thank you. I appreciate your getting real with me. You're right - I do need to get myself together. I just want to make a decision - either commit 100% or start the process of going our separate ways. Doing this half-in half-out thing is not God's way. He has declared it a sin because He knows...

    Terrible Pattern

    Thank you. Your reply is very edifying for me, and I appreciate your understanding. We haven't been seeing a Christian marriage counselor. My husband absolutely refuses to go to any sort of counseling, alone or especially with me. He once went to therapy with me and a past relationship...

    Terrible Pattern

    Thank you. I agree 100%. Any ideas on how to seek Him out further? I read the Bible daily and pray often.

    Terrible Pattern

    I'm in a terrible pattern in my life right now. I have a background of trauma from childhood abuse and a subsequent lack of healing. Just in the past year have I started the healing process. For me, this has been mild medication and therapy. I am having success, but obviously it's not...

    How do I break my mind from this obsessive morbidity?

    I can relate to what you're going through, but on a different level. I grew up in an unstable environment with much abuse (and a subsequent lack of recovery till recently) and I suffer from PTSD. What that means for me in day-to-day living is that I am a fighter and a survivor. Even though...

    Meek wife seeks to please picky husband while honoring the Great Commission

    Thank you for your feedback. It is interesting to see a theological debate in reference to a real situation in my life. I believe that I shouldn't dishonor my husband as long as it doesn't cause me to sin. I believe that God doesn't want me to force my husband to do something that would...

    Meek wife seeks to please picky husband while honoring the Great Commission

    We're driving down to the new area tomorrow to look at a couple places to rent. Please pray for us to know where God wants us to be! I agree with the past two posts - I really do want a good church family. I had been going by myself, but I felt uncomfortable being a married woman in church...

    We or someone should pull together and produce a full digital movie of the Bible...

    Charles, I am 100% with you. I don't know much about the technology end, but I have many years of acting and DJing experience and would very willingly volunteer to do voice-overs. As far as portraying Jesus goes, it does need to be approached carefully, but we must also admit that it will...

    Will God protect Israel?

    Pilgrim, your analysis seems right to me. I am a Christian from a Jewish bloodline. I don't know what that means for my walk with God, other than the fact that I am probably somehow related to some people in the Bible.

    Meek wife seeks to please picky husband while honoring the Great Commission

    Good evening, friends, and thank you all for your caring, supportive words. A couple nights ago, I wholeheartedly asked God to point me in the right direction, and I am pretty sure that He is pushing me toward the more "civilized" area. We are going to look at a couple houses next week, so...

    Meek wife seeks to please picky husband while honoring the Great Commission

    Bren, thank you for your input. Would you elaborate why you think that is the best course of action? George, thank for for your analysis. I don't know how I could possibly make it seem like his idea. He's said over and over again that he would never choose to go to this place, but that he...

    Meek wife seeks to please picky husband while honoring the Great Commission

    What is God's will for a husband and wife in this situation? Here is the boiled-down version: The couple has been living in a very remote area for 2 years, 9 hours away from any family, and in this time has not engaged in church fellowship or really any friendship whatsoever. It was the...

    question about marriage and what is called free love, about the bible

    I have some words to share with you. I can sense that you are deeply distressed and looking for an answer. God has the answers to your questions, so do not fret. Be still before Him and hear what He has to say. Let me first examine what you have said above: Biblical marriage love, done right...

    Apocaliptic Visions

    I have Apocalyptic dreams often. Their frequency has diminished since I've been on psychiatric medication for anxiety. Some dreams are about biological warfare. Sad, very sad. I am left with terrible visions. I always pray a lot after those dreams. Some dreams are about spiritual...

    Where is the line between wifely submission in Christ and neglecting His Temple?

    To clarify, taking care of our son isn't all he does. He cleans the house while I'm at work and prepares food for himself and our son. I have very high standards, being a homemaker and all, so when I come home, I make healthy dinners, bake bread in the breadmaker (saves $), do laundry, etc. Not...
