I grew up in a very religious home and was a church-goer, not knowing the transforming power of Christ's blood. There was a deep emptiness in my life that nothing could fill. In college I realized how messed up I was. I was in ultimate, intentional rebellion against God. But just when I knew...

I'm so glad to meet you here! I pray that you will continue to grow in your faith and understanding of God. On your journey of faith, may you find His healing and restoration as you trust and obey Him in every area of life!

Hi, I'm so sorry to hear what you're facing. My dad passed away 2 years ago from pancreatic cancer and I know how difficult it is to walk through the valley of shadow of death with a beloved. But I am glad to hear that you're turning to God during this difficult time. There is no one who can...

I grew up in a church too and thought I was a Christian for the longest time. I knew that something was wrong in my relationship with God, but I didn't know what that was. I feared God. I knew that if there was a hell, I would surely go there. In spite of all my efforts, I found little...

I am praying for you and your home. May our heavenly Father continue to right all that is wrong... with your mom's health and in your relationship with one another. May you behold the Lord Jesus who saw you worth dying for and gave His life for you on the cross to bring you near to God. And...

I am praying for you & your family. Let's keep bringing our requests to God in this matter and I pray that His peace with guard your heart and your mind in Christ Jesus, our Lord.

It's wonderful to see that you're committed to your BF and you want to respect his wishes to enter ministry. But the concern is not that you don't want to support him, but that only one is sensing the calling. Ministry is an entirely different sort of occupation. It's not like being a cop or...

Hi Sam, it's so good hear how the Lord's encouraging you to serve him in ministry. Do you have a local church you are involved in? Are you actively involved in teaching and leading? It's wise to seek guidance and I think starting at your church, with your small group leader, or your pastor is...

@Andrew98, Most of my young adulthood I thought to love God was to be afraid of Him & try to live "right" for Him. Unfortunately, I was a slave to my sins. I became very religious and tried hard to change, but I was messed up inside. I began to hate myself and hate God. It was when I hit very...

I hope you don't mind my asking. Why do you self harm? And how do you feel about self harming?

Let's say that you love someone very, very much, so much that you'd even give your own life for that person. But, let's say you find out that something is making him/her cut their bodies & hurt themselves. How would that make you feel? If your body is a treasured gift from God, how would he...

He seems silent to us now, but God will bring His justice upon wicked men, in His time, in His way. Life is broken and so messed up. Just remember how our own salvation was purchased-everything about it was wrong! God's Son became a servant, was unjustly convicted, executed as criminal...
