    Brisbane!!:)

    I once thought "Brisos" were a bunch of losers... living in Surfers does that ... just a wee bit spoilt down there. Now having lived in Coorparoo for 10years I think a little different. It's a great lifestyle with the bay, mountains and either Coast close by! :cool:

    How far is ... not far enough?

    Christian girls with nonchristian boyfriends

    I agree. A relationship with a non christian is not so fullfilling, and in time, I believe those who do will realise those words in the Bible are provided for your benefit. If the girls are dating non christians... maybe it's because the christian guys haven't asked! "Missionary dating"...

    What is your favourite Bible verse?

    Acts 5:29-39 ... 38"And so in this case, I tell you, do not take any action against these men. Leave them alone! If what they have planned and done is of human origin, it will disappear, but if it comes from God, you cannot possibly defeat them. You could find yourselves fighting against God!"

    Some help with a girl.. Please help...

    Hello I read somewhere along the way a respondent say if the other guy is spending so much time with her then he's definately interested. This is not always the case. I have had a number of friendships (still continuing) where we simply enjoy each others company while having no...

    living together and remaining abstinent

    Hello I think it's marvellous that you guys have found the Lord your Saviour together! You will know the answer, as the Spirit will provide it for you. The important aspect, in my opinion, is that you are both saved and living to Gods plan (even if it is under the one roof). peace Tim...

    Have broke up but want him back

    Hello Valencia I chose to walk a physically different path from my last girlfriend for the very same reason. The decision and aftermath are a very difficult period to overcome when you truly feel for that other person. I simply came to the realisation that if our destination differs how can...
