    1 Cor. 5:11- Fellowship with wayward Christians

    Thank you. I'm realizing that I'm the type of person that hears a perspective and if it sounds valid, I feel like it must be truth. So I'm pushing myself to really try to understand and hear many perspectives. So this will be helpful to hear this commentary. Thanks again for your responses.

    1 Cor. 5:11- Fellowship with wayward Christians

    I hope I'm posting in the right spot. I tried to find whether this has been discussed and couldn't find it. This scripture has really been weighing on me and confusing me lately. I've discussed it with pastors and other wise people. I feel like no one wants to delve into what it may really...

    Dating

    I was hoping to hear some wisdom regarding teens and dating. I have a 14 year old daughter who is a freshman in high school. I can't believe I've waited this long to set the ground rules. I've been hesitant to do the wrong thing. We've talked about boys and dating and sex, etc. She has not...

    Marriage almost over

    I just wanted to ask all you wonderful prayer warriors for prayer. My husband was unfaithful 3 years ago. He repented and was a wonderful husband for a year and a half.....doing all he could to repair the marriage. Then a little over a year ago, he started a new job. It was far from home...

    DNA testing a toothbrush

    You know my situation from my thread. I just wanted to say......you will trust him when he builds trust with you. As I've learned recently, I can't make myself trust him. I can't trust him by checking up on him. I will trust my husband again when he willingly offers transparency and begins...

    working all the time

    My husband has always been the best father and man. Throughout our marriage, he has always wanted to be together all the time. He's liked his job in the past, but I still felt like he would rather be spending time with us if he could. We have had a really rough few months. He started a...

    Slipping husband

    Would you all please pray for my marriage? My husband had an affair two years ago, ended it, and did a wonderful job rebuilding. Now, he just got a new job and a girl there is flirting with him and I feel like he's blind to it. He's not right with God right now and I'm not sure I have the...

    My marriage is in big trouble (crosspost)

    Unfortunately, because the two of you have or have had feelings for each other, you cannot have that kind of relationship. That is the very kind of relationship that eventually leads to affairs. I encourage you to do the right thing and tell this man not to contact you any more. You are both...

    My marriage is in big trouble (crosspost)

    I just responded to your other thread. I wish I had all the right answers. First of all, I think you should confess your emotional affair to your husband. I think he needs to know the seriousness of how your marriage is deteriorating. Don't defend your affair....tell him that you know it was...

    Heartbroken over the end of emotional affair

    I agree with Sadi. You need to get out of that class. You may desperately want this man. But he is off limits. God will NEVER bless your relationship with the other man. Nearly all affair relationships end because they are based on a fantasy. In your mind right now, that other man is...

    Disagreement about Being on Time

    Thanks for all the advice. I have set clocks ahead and told him we were leaving like 15 minutes before we actually were. But then he slowly figures it out each time so that doesn't last long. I know I just need to leave without him. But I felt really manipulated into staying last night. I need...

    Disagreement about Being on Time

    My husband and I continually have disagreements about the importance of being on time. I am the type of person who likes to be on time. He is the type of person who doesn't care if we are late places. Last night, we were supposed to be at a dinner party at 5. He asked me around 4 what time...

    Couples' Masturbation

    Ezekiel, I can see why that was disturbing. But I'd like to ask you where you find it in the Bible that a man CAN touch and a woman CAN'T. I know that Christians have differing opinions on the issue of masturbation. It is my opinion that masturbation apart from your spouse doesn't have a...

    I'm scared he'll cheat again

    There are so many issues to work through when you are dealing with an affair: forgiveness, loss of dreams, trust, insecurity about future, self-worth issues, etc. If I hear you right blubell, this is more of an issue of trust, not forgiveness. I am working through forgiving my husband, but...

    I'm scared he'll cheat again

    I feel your pain. My husband cheated a year ago. I am still really scared he will cheat again. He tells me every encounter with women too. He is honest with me. It takes time to rebuild trust. You need to work through the pain you went through. I ask my husband lots of questions to get...

    Another man's attention

    florence, Good advice here. Run from this man....just like Joseph did with Potipher's wife. It is very dangerous to entertain his attention. You may not be interested now, but if you feed yourself with his attention, eventually you will probably become interested and possibly create a mess...
