I'm sorry, I just get so frustrated with myself and my sins sometimes and I feel perhaps I am seeing what I have always looked for....seeing my sin as being so pervasive in my life that I ought desire and love Christ even more and gain a fuller appreciation for what he's done...and yet, I find...

When I was a newer Christian a couple of years ago, one issue I struggled with was doubting my salvation because I perhaps did not feel conviction over sin enough to come to Christ. My problem was that I did not feel as upset over my sins as I thought I should have. I acknowledged I was born a...

I usually try to explain to them things like this, especially if I am with someone I know, saying "they aren't going to kidnap me or anything" and they say they understand but the next time the issue comes up again it is almost as if anything I ever said before no longer applies.

Yes, I am the only child. My dad is not like that though. If I ever go somewhere or have to do something I tell him and he is fine with it. My mom usually calls a lot though. I guess maybe it's just the way that they were raised to be that way. My grandad (my mom's father) tended to be a bit...

They always say it's because they want to make sure that I am okay. Which I get it, but it's just that it doesn't seem healthy to take it to this level of calling me so many times or wanting me to call them so many times so I can talk for not even 30 seconds just to tell her "oh don't worry I am...

So here's the deal and I am in a bizarre situation. My parents have this tendency to be...overbearing..but here's the thing, I get they want to make sure I am okay, but what they have been doing recently has been getting out of hand. I am 20 years old, and whenever I go take a walk or try to...

I think it's wrong for any Christian to pick on someone or make fun of them for being different. Just because a few people who profess to be Christians do this does not mean all Christians do. Making fun of people is something that shouldn't be done.

Yeah I know that's why it would depend of the person's stance.

First of all, before you answer, let me say right off the bat this is not an issue that I am personally dealing with, but someone did ask me today if a Christian could date and even marry someone who happens to be bisexual. Now, my initial thought process was, assuming that the person who was...

Not for me personally. Nobody ever would be shocked if I told them I was a Christian but I would say that there are other people I have met who I was surprised when they said that they were Christian.

That's not really what blasphemy is. To me, it sounds like this was something you said out of frustration rather than something you actually meant.

Why would you call the police for someone saying "boo"? I would just let it go personally. Responding with an insult or something back to someone only worsens things.
