The point of the Ten Commandments and the Law was to point out the need for Savior. Jesus came and fulfilled the law. We're no longer required to "try" and follow them perfectly, but that doesn't mean they're irrelevent now either. They still contain truth about God and truth about how we...

Please don't give up, you are worthy and valuable. Both to other people in your life but especially to God. I know it's hard, and it often feels like it would be better to end it, but God does have a purpose for your life even if you can't see it right now. Praying for you.

Romans 8:26 In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; You don't need the right words to say and how to pray "correctly". God has you covered. I've been there. It...

You are still a wonderful person Kendra. Please don't give up hope. Satan wants to make you think that you are worthless, but it's not true at all. You're made in the image of God, and nothing can change that. Why does Satan want to tell you that you're worthless? Because you accepted...

The Bible is not going to tell you whether it's okay or not for you to hold hands. It expects you to have understood the principles of the Bible and apply them to different situations. So in each relationship, you have to determine what is appropriate based on your own strengths / weakness...

I know very few people who would have thought struggles with just holding hands with someone. Bottom line is that each relationship is different and some activities or ways of showing affection are fine for some couples and others should be more reserved. It's up to you and your boyfriend /...

You're not worthless and I believe you are saved Kendra. You are worth just as much as the rest of us. I know it's hard, and every day feels as painful as the day before. I wanted to give up every single day for years. But God didn't give up on me and I don't believe he's given up on you...

I would highly suggest not dating a non-Christian. Dating someone with a completely different worldview / core belief is completely different than just being friends. However, you can tell him how you feel, but just that you don't feel comfortable dating him if he's not a Christian. He'll...

You're not forgotten Kendra, and you're not hopeless :)

Run and don't look back. This guys is bad news, stay away. Concentrate on how God wants to use your while you are single. You still have time. Wait for the right guy who -will- pursue you and put some effort into it, and not make it feel like you were used.

I would say premarital counseling or don't even think about getting married. Especially at such a young age. Even if the only option is her father, and it's awkward. Still do it. Plus that would show him that you are serious and willing to do whatever is necessary.

Turkle, you mean well I know, but speaking in that way to a depressed person doesn't help. I received that advice my whole entire life, and what did it do? It made me feel worse. My family, my friends all kept telling me, you can do it. You have a choice. You can follow God. You can be more...

Have you tried actual medication for depression? - Edit, I see you've tried meds before, but I would encourage you to keep trying. Find a doctor who cares, not just someone who wants to push meds for no reason. Once you find the right ones, I think they will make a big difference. I have no...

You are simply making an excuses as to why you don't want to be legally married, and you want to do your own thing, your way, to protect yourself. I don't see God mentioned anywhere in your last post except to say that you don't trust Him either. That's a big problem! All I hear is about how...

You're not a debby downer, you're just going through a hard time. I think you are doing great. The reason it hurts so much, is because there's so much pain and it's never been properly dealt with. It builds up over time, and eventually it feels like it "explodes" and you don't know where it...

If you are really serious about going forward and possibly pursuing marriage soon find some other Godly people to surround you. Let them watch you two together and see how you behave and act. Find an older couple and listen to them, and seek advice. Do premarital counseling. Spend...

Should the marriage fail... parties can part privately and quietly. Should it fail... we can essentially walk away and begin our lives again the very next day. These two statements ring a loud alarm to me. It's the position of no commitment, I'll try it, and if it works out great, but if...

I'm still here, I've just been really busy with finals and end of the semester things. Still praying for you :)

There's a big difference between putting God in a box and people who just say "don't put God in a box" just so they don't have to defend their position or beliefs about a position. The first is a position that we can all tend to slide into at various times. The second is something people...
