    Need verse to help teen who's cutting

    Thank you for your reply. I'll try to remember to be specific when I praise her -- that's good advice I hadn't thought about.

    Need verse to help teen who's cutting

    Thank you for bringing that up. It's important. She will be in counseling with an experienced female Christian counselor. Is there anything I can do to help as far as pointing out passages in the Bible?

    Need verse to help teen who's cutting

    My ex-wife and I recently discovered our 14-year-old daughter has been cutting herself since last fall. She was having trouble with some of the popular kids in school tormenting her -- but we never imagined she could do this to herself (as we considered her mature and well-balanced). I'd like...

    Moving on too quickly?

    I'm confused... My fiance died just over a week ago after a long battle with cancer. She suffered and endured many things before her life ended at an all-too-young 39. We were close and meant the world to each other. Her death was expected -- but it was still devastating. Our lives were...

    Witnessing at theaters showing The Da Vinci Code

    I plan to witness to people exiting a local theater after viewing The Da Vinci Code on opening weekend (May 19). I have a stack of the following Discovery Series booklets from RBC Ministries: Can I Really Trust The Bible? http://www.discoveryseries.org/q0402/ The Da Vinci Code: Separating...

    Am I saved?

    Thank you for your reply. I agree with what you said. There's such an emphasis out there on letting God do everything...that we are powerless to do anything...yet isn't it biblical that we have to do our part? I liked your example about being snotty to your neighbor. I've asked for patience...

    Am I saved?

    Am I saved?

    (One of the downsides to having so many categories on a forum is wondering where to post something. I hope this question is appropriately placed.) Oswald Chambers said, "Personal holiness is an effect of redemption, not the cause of it." So if I'm struggling with sin, does that mean I've not...

    I Pledge Allegiance to the Lamb

    Our small church begins every service with a particular version of I Pledge Allegiance to the Lamb. It's on a re-recorded tape. No one knows who sings that particular version. It's not any version by Ray Boltz, Brad Meredith Gabrielle Callis or Justin Courtney. It's more choir-oriented and...

    Reading Jesus Freaks to teens

    I feel a strong desire to serve Jesus and be a witness to the wonderful things He's done. But my prayers are pretty awkward even when I'm alone and I get tounge tied when I try to discuss God with people. Nevertheless, the pastor of the church I attend is letting me read some stories from...

    In order: 1. Frasier 2. Frasier 3. Frasier :) Can you tell I love Frasier? What a great show. Very funny and well written. Bold at times as well with how simultaneously imperfect and lovable the characters are. I love the sitcom format when it's well done. Other favorites are: 1. Cheers...

    How God answered the prayer of a smoker

    Greetings! I've been dating a woman for four years who'd been smoking at least three packs a day for close to 25 years. I'm not a smoker, but we connected and grew to care for each other very much, so I put up with her cigarettes. She tried many times to quit smoking, but was unable to...

    Idea for witnessing - no idea for how to make it happen

    That's a good question! Do as the Lord guides you. :)

    Idea for witnessing - no idea for how to make it happen

    I wholly agree it's imperative we witness to people through interpersonal communications. Being a rather shy person, it's not easy for me to approach friends or neighbors, but God can work around my weaknesses and open doors for me if I pray for that to happen. I think we should take advantage...
