    Letting go and giving it all to God

    Ive been struggling with stopping myself from liking a sister in Christ for 10 months now. And it's been hard. I expressed my interest to her and got rejected being told we don't really understand each other. The next night she ends up telling me hadn't gotten over her previous relationship yet...

    Is God against marriage for some people?

    Well, Paul does that being single is good! And hence some people are just not meant to be married.

    How do you know if you are supposed to marry the person who proposr to you.

    I'm unmarried, but I think they key to a healthy strong marriage is commitment to God. What you said CAN be part of the answer, you need to be able to love and live with that person for the rest of your life. But its not necessarily about finding the 'perfect match'. We all have our goods and...

    Advice Needed! ~

    It's going to be hard, but as others have mentioned, don't be unequally yoked. Our love for Jesus and God needs to be greater than our love for anyone else in this world. And so we need to keep follow God's word and not our own desire because He knows whats best. Explain your faith to your...

    Anger issue?

    I've found that I can snap at people when I get annoyed by what they say or do. Tonight at our leader's meeting, the guys and girls were going to split off and I was telling one of our guy leaders to go with the guys. One of the girls just jokingly said "Bob is a girl, he can stay with us". I...

    How can I grow more as a Christian?

    It's really great that you're already spending time looking at God's word regularly and praying. And if you're involved in ministry with others and helping them grow in their understanding and relationship with God, that's awesome! Ways to think about stretching yourself, is to identify areas...

    Not sure what to do in my situation

    I've contemplated on talking about it more with her letting her know about my issue, but I feel selfish/weak (bit of both) for burdening her because she actually hasn't done anything on her part. If I talk it out, its going to affect our friendship and I'm not even sure if its going to help my...

    Not sure what to do in my situation

    In the middle of last year I started to like a friend at church whom I found to be very Godly and loving. I thought we got along alright and so I approached her and asked for her thoughts on dating/relationships. In that conversation, she tried to be as loving as she could and told me she didn't...

    Lack of enjoyment in anything

    I forgot I posted this. Thank you each and every one of you for all the words of encouragement. I think I was/am still in a stage of transition and finding where God wants to take me next. Funnily enough we'll be teaching Ecclesiastes to our small group bible studies in a couple of weeks...

    Would Like A Woman's Perspective

    Sounds like you're in a bit of a situation. A lot of people are saying just TALK TO HER but just realise that once you initiate that conversation, things WILL change. So be prepared for this. If she is just an overly nice person and didn't actually have any feelings for you, then the situation...

    How to be a healthy man...emotionally

    It sounds as though his upbringing has had quite an impact on who he is now. But he seems to be open to making changes. First things first, as someone already mentioned, work out how his relationship with God is first. God's always going to be at the centre of every Christian's life and...

    What do the women look for in a man?

    hehehe I guess I ask because I'm at odds into how relationships should work. My dumb and naive mind thought that a godly man and godly woman who were close'ish friends could potentially come together. BUT boy was I wrong. There's this compatibility thing that I haven't quite understood :( I...

    Remaining friends

    I've thought about just crushing on another person. But in the past, I didn't actually spend a lot of time crushing on people because I think it sapped energy away from me on focusing on other things in life. And perhaps its because she's the first girl I've actually felt attracted to not just...
