Yes, there are many people who just like to hear themselves talk, but there are also many others who really do struggle with issues that are, to put it plainly, just not covered in the Bible, except...

    Staying on Track

    I've definitely been there a few times, and I can say, it really stinks. Sometimes it seems like your whole world view is just one big cycle that randomly changes depending on your mood and what ideas you have worn out in your mind. The only thing you can really do is just play it cool and...

    What to Do What to Do?

    What does being Christian have to do with how well a person is at cleaning a house? Isn't it God who determines whether things are holy or unholy, not who cleans them or how much they advertise themselves as Christian?

    lost my faith after going to college

    I have had a similar change of heart after attending college, although through different experiences. I was really religious my freshman year and had just gone through my dad dying.

    Love

    The best way to love other people is not to do it consciously and just learn to think in terms of other people. The fact that you are so concerned about loving other people just from a desire to already speaks highly of you.

    Don't look at it as failure! Think of it as one year and one month of success, which is really awesome! Just keep it up!

    Does Free Will Exist?

    According to Christianity, free will necessarily has to exist because otherwise, all of our actions could be considered blameless. Therefore, there would be no point of a savior.

    Are we as christians allowed to "break up" with our friends?

    Whatever you do, make sure you are doing it because you are looking out for her. I would definitely talk to her first and tell her how your feel.

    help me please!

    I remember feeling exactly the same way a couple years ago when I was your age. It is a very valid question, what it really means to repent of something. After all, most of the sins we commit are the ones we do over and over again. After thinking on such things, I eventually went down a very...
