    A message for Christians with depression

    I'm sorry, what interpretation? I didn't use any of my own words so I'm not sure how I interpreted anything. It's an encouraging parable that Jesus gave. It assures Christians that they are a well-built house built on a strong foundation, and that the "torrent" will not completely destroy...

    Israel from exodus to captivity?

    I'm going back through my bible again and just finished both Kings. I'd like to read more about the state of Israel from the time they entered the promised land until they were led into captivity. I know they split, that they prostituted themselves to other gods, that they lost their glory...

    i dont understand.

    I don't know hon. People have their own interests, sometimes selfish or even un-Christian interests, but sometimes just other interests. It may not be you at all. The best way to find out is to study your bible carefully, note all the ways a Christian should be, and check them off one...

    i dont understand.

    Sweetheart, I'm sorry. I know this isn't a good feeling. I don't know you so I have no idea if there is something about you that is putting people off, or if it's them. Generally speaking, people aren't very nice anymore, so it could very well be them and not you. Have you ever just come...

    Depressing situation

    Just one person replied? The woman is very real even if the story isn't. Some advice would be most appreciated. The question is, how does she keep from letting her situation get to her? How does she not have hateful feelings towards her mother? She wants her heart to be right in God's eyes...

    So tired of hurting!

    It's nice to remember that I'm not alone. It's called Osteogenesis Imperfecta, type1 (the mild form). I'm going to make an appt with the pain mgmt doctor and see what he says. Probably "take more pills" which I don't want to do, but I might have to. I don't like being buzzed all the time...

    Celebrate Christmas?

    I haven't celebrated christmas in about 10 years now. My conscience won't let me. We are told to worship in spirit and in truth. TRUTH. Jesus was not born on December 25th. No where are we told to celebrate his birth at any time. Three wise men did not visit the baby Jesus in a...

    Depressing situation

    Here is a completely made-up story, but I have my reasons for using this as a parallel. Suppose there is a single woman, and she lives with her mother. Her mother has a handicap and is unable to live alone. They don't have money for nursing home care or assisted living, so the only option is...

    A message for Christians with depression

    "Why do you call me, "Lord, Lord," and do not do what I say? I will show you what he is like who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice. He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house...

    Just Need A Hug

    I need a hug! Life is tough and my family is so many miles away. I haven't had a hug since this time last year when I visited my family and friends. I'd give anything for a hug from my Gramma. I'll take a cyber-hug though! I've read the prayers on this thread. Some of you have a real gift...

    How do you console a near-suicidal friend?

    I sure feel for you. There are no easy answers. Use your good judgement since you know your friend best, but here are some suggestions. If you can catch him at a moment when he's feeling a bit reasonable and stable then maybe point out to him that his life won't change if HE doesn't...

    What are you thankful for??

    God saved me from my own carelessness yesterday evening. I was making dinner and not paying attention to what I was doing and about cut myself good. So I sat down and ate my dinner and enjoyed it, and was thankful.

    Longing For Something

    Kim, that was beautiful and succinctly put. Chuck, maybe it would help you to sit down and analyze precisely what it is you are longing for? It may seem to be one thing on the surface but if you get right down to it, what is it you are longing for? I long to be out in the country, away from...
