    I need some advice.

    Hi there, What I have found is that the “enemy of our soul” likes to pick on us and tell us things that cause us to doubt. I am reminded in Ephesians 6:10-18 to put on the full armor of God because the warfare is not carnal; it’s a spiritual battle. Reading and studying God’s Word really...

    Hi Newsgurl, I am so happy to hear that your prayers have been answered. I’ve loved what Romans 8:28 says, “And we know that all things work together for good to them who love God, to them that are called according to His purpose.” God has a purpose and a plan for your life, and He will...

    Hi there, I am so glad that you are putting off sex before marriage. In my experience, that intimacy is made more special when you have waited. In the meantime, have you considered attending a pre-marital workshop through your church? My husband and I found it to be beneficial. It might...
