My old roommate is fairly hostile and negative and angry at me and is a Christian. He ignores my requests to pray for him and to talk with him about scripture. He then makes fun of the fact that he does these things to my other friends.

I struggle with the decisions I've made as well. I always second guess myself and I think this comes from a lack of trust that God is making my paths as I walk them. It is difficult.

I worry about my future constantly. I wrestle with singleness and it makes my future so dark. I have a very hard time seeing past my isolation.

You should tithe to the church you are a member of first because you made a commitment there.

It is impossible to take faith too seriously. One can take specific doctrines too seriously to the point where love and grace are nonexistent and all that one cares about is theology. But faith is the silent trust in God. Never.

Have hope. The only unforgivable sin is blasphemy: the lifelong rejection of the Holy Spirit. If you are alive you still have hope.

God does not save all people. God saves all people who believe in the one he sent(John says). God opens people's hearts to him selves and those are the ones who believe. They have ears to hear.

I struggle with having affection toward God after the icy cruelty of losing the greatest love of my life. She was the sun in my solar system and I know that I idolizes her, yet now I am alone and cold and the future seems dark and lonely. I don't know how to proceed from this.

I struggle with my singleness. My most veracious desire is to be the husband of a wife. I have actual dreams of service and sacrifice in that position. My heart deeply yearns to love someone in that capacity. Yet God closes every door and isolates me so much that it seems close to cruelty. I am...

I'm relatively new to fasting and want to get the most out of it that I can. What are some practical things to do in quiet and solitude to help with this?

I have difficulty with a group of Christians who are in a group with me designed to facilitate close accountable relationships. They mock my attempts at deeper conversation, ignore my intentional messages and requests to pray for them. I don't know how to respond to this.

Thank you for this.

My family and I have been at odds for a long time, they claim to be professing Christians but often get angry at me for bringing up sound Biblical doctrine or practice. How can I deal with this?

I'm lonely, single, literally all of my friends are married or close to it. I rarely get to talk to anyone because they're all so busy and distracted with their lives. I feel forgotten, abandoned by God, and crushed. I'm tired of being alone. I'm tired of looking for people. I'm tired of waiting...

I've been single for 3 years, close to friendless for that same time. Whenever I finally manage to meet someone to be friends with they almost immediately get into a romantic relationship and disappear. Literally every person I know over the age of 18 is married, engaged, or in a relationship...
