    Is it right to change oneself

    The bible does tell us we need to change. But its not for others that we're supposed to change, but for Him. Being a Christian means laying down your life and taking up the life of Christ. As the famous saying goes... WWJD? We are supposed to be servants, but foremost to God. We do want...

    Roomate Differences

    God operates with purpose and is continually working in our lives. Maybe God wants you (and probably your roomie too) to learn patience. It may be training for something God plans to use you for in the future. Remember, take joy in your trials because they are opportunities to grow in God...

    How can I help?

    Here are things you can do. Be a Christian friend. Be there for him, and yet keep it a biblical friendship... do not share or even give off the impression that you support anything sinful that he does or says. Pray continually. Have faith in your God. He has a purpose for what He...

    anyone happy being single

    God is preparing me right now, not only for the my soulmate, but for the ministry that He wants me to be a part of. I know its the time for me to pursue this and that i'm very likely not ready for a relationship. I feel lucky that i don't have to deal with both right now. Although i do feel...

    I'm a DDR Freak too! I am pretty much addicted. I try to play ever Sunday after church. Been playing for... 2 years now? I guess i'm pretty good (should be! Do you know how many quarters i've fed that machine! I can sometimes beat a few of the 10 ft songs like Sakura, Max 300, and Paranoia...

    Sharing the Gospel with Witches!!

    All you can do is witness (truthfully and honestly) as Christ would. Only God can save. After that, you can pray and live a Christ-filled life. The more vivid Christ is in your life, the more your family will see who Christ is.

    Help- bringing up a 10 yr. old

    What is the measure of a good parent? Its the love, not the child. You can have and should have the biggest hand in molding her (through Christ of course), but God gave us all free will. God is the greatest parent of them all, but look at all his children. When i was a child, i listened...

    First time dating

    I agree... be honest and open. If you really want to have a good relationship, you should be honest and open in the foundation of your relationship. Don't start your relationship with hiding things that would affect your two relationship in the future. Also you need to know how he'll...

    Boyfriend with Different Belief

    I agree too. Also the one who God wants you to be with will be better for you than any other person in the world. God made you for that person and made that person for you. He wants you two to be together. It may be Nathan, it might not... but the way to find out is to trust in God. The...

    Is God still listening??

    I thought what wvmtnkid said was good advice. God never never stops listening to you. God is ALWAYS with you. Sometimes you won't feel his presence though, but this is one of those trials that will help you get stronger. Its easier to live a life of faith when you can feel God there, but...

    second career , maybe

    Well this is something i said on another thread... Something i'm almost done reading is "The Purpose-Driven Life" by Rick Warren. Its a very good book and i believe it will help you. But in a sentance, the book tells you that you can realize your purpose by looking at your Spiritual gifts...

    How do I get my parents to know God?

    You can't do anything. The bible does say that its Him that saves, not you. You're a witness... you only share the Word and knowledge of God. You are not the savior, so you cannot save them. Have faith in God's good Will. Of course lift them up in prayer, but do not despair. The more of...

    Dating or Courting???

    I've been in love three times in my life. It wasnt till my last love that i started hearing God's voice. In fact i broke off our relationship because God told me it wasnt the kind of relationship Christians are supposed to have. Since then, i have been lonely, but i have drawn close enough...

    How do you decide?

    It wasn't till i was 24 that i realized what God wanted me to pursue in college. I believe that i just wasnt ready to pursue a career till then... i had other things in my life to work on. But when it came, it came as God's voice telling me what to do. Something i'm almost done reading is...

    Afraid to sleep...

    1) Is your friend a Christian? If so, then you have nothing to fear. Because 2) Your friend will be with God and be happier than she'd ever be in this world. She won't die before her time, so trust in God's wisdom. If she did die, you should think "While so many will be crying at her...
