    Made a stupid and dangerous choice while driving feeling guilty and scared

    An old man was walking on the side of a blind corner rather than the safe walkway on the other side of the road. I drove in the middle of the lanes around him when oncoming traffic started getting closer. My brain just went ‘got to go back in lane now’ but what really bothers me is that I also...

    My driving mistakes scare me so much, and my OCD doesn't help!

    The tricky thing is that I'm in Japan and my Japanese is limited. I think I will keep an ear out just in case, but since I think they were cycling as normal and didn't seem to hit them (they weren't swerving noticeably or anything when I saw them in the center mirror) there wouldn't be a point...

    My driving mistakes scare me so much, and my OCD doesn't help!

    So lately all of my compulsive thinking and anxiety and checking has been about my driving. Today I think I might have cut in front of a cyclist by accident! I even came back shortly after, but the cyclist had moved on somewhere. They were going down a hill quite fast, near the speed limit and...

    Getting baptised a second time for a new church

    Hi all, I moved overseas half a year ago and began attending a local Baptist church. I was baptised as a baby, and don't particularly strongly about the infant baptism/believer baptism debate. In order to be a full member of my new church I have asked to be baptised there, however, I feel...

    Please pray for me to drive safely in a new country

    I just started driving after a half year break in Japan and the different style signs and occasional poor intersections are making me very anxious. I've made some mistakes, accidentally ran a non-obvious red light the other day, but still entered the intersection carefully and checked that the...

    Deuteronomy 22:23-24 If she doesn't scream she's guilty??? TW: Rape

    23 “If there is a betrothed virgin, and a man meets her in the city and lies with her, 24 then you shall bring them both out to the gate of that city, and you shall stone them to death with stones, the young woman because she did not cry for help though she was in the city, and the man because...

    New teacher but stuck in guilt cycle.

    Hi, I've had ups and downs, since I keep making mistakes and learning from them... Today I realised I haven't been keeping very good track of a student that refuses to come to class as the room is different due to there being less students during lockdown (special needs school). I've always...

    New teacher but stuck in guilt cycle.

    Hi everyone, I recently started teaching but it's been incredible stressful as the devil had taken to reminding me of every relevant mistake I've ever made to convince me I'm a terrible teacher. From a family argument to my pets to mistakes at school. Every time I work through one issue another...

    Is it a sin to not report a crime?

    I've generally thought that to refer to civil rather than criminal matters, given that the government is God's sword against evildoers... But I don't think they always need to be included, for minor or forgiven offences (excluding things like rape and murder of course).

    Is it a sin to not report a crime?

    If someone has sinned against, and repented of their crime towards someone, are we required to still report it? Say a family member stole an appliance, apologised and made what restitution they could, and repented/was forgiven. Should they still be reported, especially given how much damage to...

    What is God's purpose for you?

    Sometimes it helps to think of the talents you have been blessed with, as they may be part of God's plan for you. But don't forget, even if you don't get there right away, it's part of God's plan. I'm currently studying a degree I never really considered simply because it was a logical choice...

    How to engage with church rather than seeing it as an obligation

    I have been a Christian all of my life, and have grown up going to church. However, church has always felt boring to me, with rare sermons being the exception. I usually learn about God through reading the Bible, lessons from Sunday School in the past and reading commentaries online from various...
