    Good Reads for Youth Leaders...

    Off the top of my head i think it is called "No guts, no glory". Not sure by who - not very helpful i admit, but i found it encouraging in handling a Youth Group.

    Does This Anger You?

    I agree. A lot of people think they know what it is like to suffer depression and to stuggle with cutting, whilst they have never actually been through it themselves. Unless you have experienced this personally they can only offer limited help cause they just don't know what it is like. While...

    self harming-i know it's been done before!

    I just like to say first of all that although i'm a guy i know a little of what you are going through. Whilst i am cruising ok at the moment there were times over the last year that resulted in me becoming badly depressed and suicidal. I did end up self-harming. Over the past couple of weeks...

    A laughing Thred

    It's not the hyperventilating that's a problem when you don't breathe - it's the turning blue and the falling over that you have to watch out for. ha - i'm afraid that's all i can summon at the moment.

He could have easily been somewhere else that the garden and all that foreknowledge would have amounted to nothing. No - God chose Judas to betray Jesus. But he didn't make him do it. That was...

    Are we really predestined to heaven or hell?

    it could have been stopped because God is the one doing the predesting.

    Are we really predestined to heaven or hell?

    I don't actually have any scripture on me, but i do have an idea. If everything God does is for his glory, then his creation brings him glory. Includes us. Can we bring glory to God in hell? God knew before the beginning of time that we would fall and that he would have to send Christ to die...

    Isn't war evil?

    This is really the wrong way of looking at this problem. We live in a fallen world where evil is an inherent part of it. We are called to in the world but not of it. Jesus was perfect - we are not. I know some may see this as a cop out, but that is the basic truth. In the last day all those not...

    Isn't war evil?

    I agree with Archangel on this point. There are references in the gospels where Christ spoke to soldiers, in particular the centurian, and not once did he say put down your weapons - what you are doing is wrong. Christ said to obey your commanders. Those placed in authority over you. God has...
