Thank you to everyone who has prayed... please don't stop. Study break has started here now, so we don't have any school, I met up with her yesterday morning and we spent the day together and then I slept over at her apartment last night. She told me that she's been out partying almost every...

I'm not an expert, but as far as I know, the way it works is that refugees are allowed into the EU, and then are directed to a particular country by an EU council. That way a big country like Germany gets more refugees than a small country like Denmark, and the countries in the south don't end...

Just search for "international church (Insert city name here)" on Google. You'll usually find an international inter-denominational church in whatever city you're going to. Unless the city is tiny. If you want to find a Mormon church that might be hard, though. I've never tried... Anyway, I...

Of all of my friends only one is Christian, so yes, I've thought about this. I honestly don't believe in an eternal Hell, I found the arguments for annihilationism quite convincing. But I guess that could change in the future. It still upsets me that they live so separate from God, so many...

So, this might be really cheesy, but I loved the kids stories by Max Lucado when I was little, and one of my favorites was about this... it's a bit of long, but it's a really cute story, and I think it makes a good illustration of the Bible verse at the end. If you don't want to read the whole...

I go to church services held for Christian refugees every third week - they live at an asylum center near here, and it's one of the few activities they're allowed to leave the center for. There aren't many, because almost all of the refugees are from the Middle East, so most of them are Muslim...

Ummm.... I'm a little bit concerned about this. You say that you want people to really "believe that this woman is saved", because that will allow "God's Truth to enter in" - but it sound's like the women isn't actually Christian. Which means you're deceiving/tricking/lying to people. Do you...

I also posted a longer prayer request on the Prayer Team board... Please pray for my friend. I love her, and I try to help her when I can, but her life is so broken, she's 16 and sleeps around, sometimes with men twice her age, she says her mother cares more about her boyfriend than about...

:sad: I love her, I love being with her, and I try to help, but her life is so broken, she's 16 and sleeps around, sometimes with men twice her age. She goes out every weekend, and sometimes on schooldays too, to party at bars and nightclubs. She smokes pot. She hasn't done any other drugs...

So, I support the theory of theistic evolution, but I've been reading some things by people who don't and I do think they ask some good questions, questions I would like answered. I have also noticed that ALL the questions they ask, even ones that seem worth explaining, are dismissed by...

You might not be able to change who you are, but God can... at least, in my experience. ;) And I think you're right about you needing to change... I don't have any firm stance on homosexuality (I used to go to a church where the minister was gay, actually), but the thing with the kid sounds...

If you like her, go with her to the prom. And, if I may be frank: Absolutely irrelevant. You shouldn't make a decision about how to treat someone because people might be rude to you for doing it... you should do what you know is right. If you like her, go out with her. If you don't...

So, I'm only 17, and I can't say I know that much about it, but... do you think maybe you should think more about not talking to your sister? I don't know what your situation is, so this may be way off, but don't you think it's a little unfair to make your sister choose between talking to you...

I would say the same thing everybody else has been saying - pray and go to church with him. But I also wanted to say that I experienced something similar recently - I've been Christian for a bit under a year, and before that I went through a period where I wanted to believe but couldn't. I'd...

Well, does she just say things about it being silly to believe in God that make you feel bad, or are there specific reasons she doesn't believe that you don't have answers to? If you were more specific about what kinds of things she's saying that make you feel like this, people could help...
