    2009 Resolutions

    I want to do better in treating my body as a temple. I'm starting by eating much healthier (lots of fresh fruits, less fast food) and doing some physical activities I enjoy.

    Emptiness

    Have you ever studied St. John of the Cross's dark night of the soul? It's worth researching. Like the person above me said, sometimes God takes us through a period of spiritual dryness in order to purify our soul. That being said, I feel for you. Spiritual darkness/emptiness can be one of...

    Is The emeging church and Rob Bell a cult

    I watched that whole video expecting them to talk about Rob Bell based on your title, but they didn't. That being said, I've been to the church Rob Bell founded multiple times. It really doesn't come across as a cult at all. I think a cult only becomes a cult when congregants treat the church...

    [College] How well do you and your roommate(s) get along?

    My first year roommate and I got along really well even though we were really different. My second year roommate and I barely talked. This year my roommate and I are very good friends, but we don't really spend a lot of time with the other girls in the apartment (though we'd both consider them...

    The number one quality?

    That he always strives to walk closer with Christ. That includes a constant attempt to strengthen his faith, become more loving towards others, and see life in a more positive light, never 100% satisfied with who he is, but happy with how he's progressing in life and always hopeful for the...

    Penpal anyone?

    Hi, I'm new to CF, but I'm looking for a penpal or penpals. I'm 19, female, a first year college student majoring in English. I like music, theater, reading, and writing. Meeting other college students would be cool, but I'd be happy to penpal with anyone! PM me if you're interested. :)

    Feeling Torn...

    I'm kind of having the same struggle, except the opposite (I'm Catholic right now). I don't think there's an easy answer, but the most important thing is to research the beliefs of each choice very thoroughly and define your own beliefs as much as possible before choosing. Don't just jump in...

    How should one feel about sin?

    I really had a tough time with this too for quite a while. I'd feel slightly bad because I knew sin was wrong, but deep down I didn't truly realize the gravity of my sins. Now I think of this: Jesus died for our sins...every single sin every single one of us has ever or ever will commit...

    Need some advice

    Wow, this really sounds like the other side of the current relationship I'm in right now! Even the ages are the same! I'm 19 and he's 24. Sounds a LOT like your situation, so, I just might know a bit how your girlfriend is feeling. A question: Is this your girlfriend's most serious...

    Fears....

    Death and hell are big ones for me. I struggled with major anxiety over those fears a few months back. I kept imagining God as this great powerful figure just waiting for me to "mess up." I despaired for weeks, but in the end it actually led me to a stronger faith than I have ever had. I know...

    Is this age difference acceptable?

    I think that could be an acceptable age difference, but it truly depends on your levels of maturity. And yeah, probably a little too early to throw that "love" word out there. I suppose it's possible. I'm not you after all. Do you have a very strong friendship with this girl? What do you...

    Women working after having children?

    This is actually a topic I have very strong feelings about: Working at a daycare for a year and a half, I have seen firsthand what parental absence does to kids. It truly breaks my heart. Most kids come in very sweet, but most do not stay that way if they are in childcare on a regular basis...
