I have read just about all the verses in the Bible about condemning homosexuality and the fact that it is an abomination against God. I do believe that. My boyfriend is dealing with a friend, who is a believer, and has recently decided to take action on his feelings toward men by dating one (no...

If you are asking if something is wrong, that is an indication that you may think it is. What is the purpose of your touching yourself? Is this causing you to lust after your fiancee? You may call it playing, but it can lead to other things once he returns. I would encourage you to look at the...

I just returned to California from Meridian and Boise, Idaho. I had the best time! It's so beautiful there and everyone is so nice. I loved checking out the Rembrandt coffee shop in Eagle.

Yes, you can be conservative in California. You don't just have to be in Northern Calif., as Moluku mentioned (and there IS culture in N. Calif. The tree huggers are WAY North in Humboldt County). All you have to do is be you. You may be different than most, but as Christians, we are also...

I have tickets to see it in August and am so excited. I am really enjoying the soundtrack too. Has anyone seen the other Broadway Series plays, such as Joseph or Dr. Doolittle?

Hello...I recently moved from Northern Calif. to San Diego. I'm still getting used to the weather down here. There's no rain and it feels like spring. I'm living in OB and looking for a strong Christian female roommate who would like to search for a new place with me. If you know of anyone...

Yes, I'd also say that moving in with your bf is not the way to go. I'm moving to a city to be closer to my LDR bf of 2 1/2 years. People keep asking if I'm moving in with him, but I'm not. That's something the world does nowadays. As Christians, we are to look different from the world. Moving...

God created our sex drives for a reason. It's not a sin to be tempted. It would be to act upon those temptations outside of marriage when you know you shouldn't. I am in an LDR and most of my close friends are married or engaged. It can be difficult to push those feelings out of my head when I'm...

I'm also in an LDR and my boyfriend is the type who writes me letters because I love getting mail and his words are so heartfelt and sweet. Flowers every so often can be nice. It depends on your girlfriend whether or not she'd get sick of them every week. You may not have to do it that often...

If you are feeling tempted, you can always stop yourself. All that matters is the way you go about it. Jesus was tempted in many ways, but never gave in to any of them. I think the right thing would be to definitely pray about it, read what the Bible has to say and also know how you are being...

Temptations are absolutely normal, as most others have said. I agree with anointedtruth in that you need to know how you are most tempted. Is it when you're alone or while watching a certain tv show or whenever. Know when those times are and I would encourage you to keep yourself from those...

I, too, am waiting until marriage and I've been dating my boyfriend for 2 1/2 years. I think having sex before marriage can cause far too much confusion, besides it being against what the Bible says. Yet, God forgives, as long as we are truly repentant. Over the past few years, I've read some...

How do you interpret 1 Corinthians 6:9-20?

Had I not had to work, I may have gone. I'm sure it was good.

I mean, what is the purpose of it?
