    For my younger sister

    I would like to ask for prayer for my younger sister who attempted suicide about a month ago. She is trying to run from God. Tonight there is a Christmas concert at the college that I attend. In the past God has really used the concert to transform lives. My younger sister will be in the...

    I love Al Qaeda

    "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." Ephesians 6:12 Yes I love the people that make up Al Qaeda. I hate the sins that they've...

    about going the speed limit or other traffic laws

    I totally agree with you there. At the same time it is good to follow the law, even if those involved in enforcing the law are not respecting it.

    Marriage and Christianity

    It's hard to say. We do know that Heaven will be perfect and that we can't even imagine what it'll be like. If anything, I imagine our love will grow greater, for we will be with the creator of love. God Himself is love. Things will certainly be much different in Heaven than they are here, and...

    about going the speed limit or other traffic laws

    Obey the law unless it crosses the line of what is right and wrong according to scripture. Seriously, how much would it truly effect your life if you simply follow the speed limit. Romans 13:1-3 says, "Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those...

    Open for questions! (It's okay don't be shy)

    God has been so gracious to me in my life. There have been times in my life when I have completely rejected Him and turned to a life of sin and darkness. For several years I held the belief that I was saved at the age of 9, but I am struck by how we are told in scripture that We will know that...

    drug addiction, inappropriate content addiction, and lack of faith , now what?

    Hey thanks for posting. I absolutely agree with you about the "sinners prayer." A prayer is not what saves us. It certainly can be a starting place, but it is by faith that we are saved. Faith leads to action. If you have faith, there will be action on that faith. It is not simply enough to...

    Need advice about something

    My advice would be to seek advice from someone older and wiser. Do you have a Godly mentor in your life? Other than that, lots and lots of prayer as well as relying fully on God and trusting that His will will be done!

    loving life / having to hate it for Jesus' sake

    I take God at His word when He makes a statement like this. I think that it is really easy to water down God's word and say "God didn't really mean that did He?" It's the same question that we have asked ever since the garden of eden. Let me share my testimony; Going into last September I...

    Growing up in a world...

    God's love is not dependent on anything we can do. He gives freely. Love is not something that can be earned. Love is a choice that is made. God chooses to love us. One way that I know that God loves atheists is that He continues to pursue them and call them to himself. I have heard of people...

    Growing up in a world...

    I encourage you to stand in the truth of scripture and be a witness for Christ no matter what gets thrown your way. Christ will be your strength! I used to get discouraged easily about such things, but as I sought to know God more and more I began to see God's heart for these people. God loves...

    What evils do you see in everyday life?

    Independence is something that many people deem as a good thing, especially in the U.S. That being said I believe that it is one of the biggest stumbling blocks as a Christian. For we are to be fully dependent on God. We can't even breath without God giving us breath. Yet most of us have been...

    Witnessing the Fall of the Church?

    I'd would agree wholeheartedly. The problem I see is in the dismissal of morality in most churches among believers. I am not talking about dressing in your "Sunday best" or looking "christian." I am talking about when believers in the church live just as the world does and you can't even tell...

    Witnessing the Fall of the Church?

    It's noticeable to me even though I'm still very young myself. In particular, I notice it with my generation. We are not supposed to be like the world, but so often I don't see a difference in the lives of those who claim to be Christians and those who are not, and if there is a difference many...
