    Items of concern

    There are many. I'm a college student... next year's my last year of classes (in theory). Last semester I got a D, a W, a C, and a B. This semester, I'm looking at an F in one of my classes. Research methods of psychology. I've had Christian friends tell me to keep at it... to not stop and...

    A Story to Inspire

    Many of you know me, perhaps, from the theology and society forums... and a few times I have referenced having dealt with homosexuality. I would like to share my story with you so that you may be inspired. It is about two days in the making, and it is a bit long. I think it might be worth your...

    Homosexuality: ethical methods of outreach?

    Given that this forum, least whilst I was around, was heavily involved in debates about homosexuality, I have wondered if there is a method we should be using in trying to reach homosexuals that will work best. That is, are there approaches that do not work as well and do work, and might they be...

    Christian preaching...

    This is mainly for the unbelievers in this forum. I haven't posted in quite some time because I've seen a lot of people on this board who start threads on the same issues over and over, saying the same things, and claim they are doing what God wants them to do... My question is, is it moral to...

    Dire need

    Yes, I am in dire need right now. I have something running my life that simply has to go, and I've tried, and I've failed to get rid of it for good... So if you guys could pray that God roots out and destroys this influence. Specifically for the destruction of this stupid thing. I know it's...

    Career

    Okay, me of all people should be able to figure this one out. But I can't by myself. So let me lay out the basics: -I'm 20, and will be 21 this fall. -I've got a gift working with kids and others have told me this. I'm great at relating to them and helping them become more jazzed about God...

    Ideas?

    I have sufficient reason to believe that my grandpa (now dead) abused me sexually as an infant. I'd like not to go into the reasons why. But how do I approach my family about these suspicions?

    Information

    Hi! If anyone has any links to sites (not books) that discuss asperger's, and asperger's and sexuality, I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm not finding much with searches.

    Horrible situation

    I don't know why I'm writing this. Half of me wants advice, but the other half knows what it will be already. Maybe I just need to let it out. But either way, here goes: The facts: I've struggled with homosexuality and I've got a lot of victory over it- to the point where it's been just...

    The Star... real?

    So I saw a video last night, and I was curious what you guys think about this. After seeing the guy's arguments I'd say that he's got a pretty strong position. www.bethlehemstar.net Comments? Does this guy have a point or no? Discuss! Oh, and for those of you who say the Bible's not meant...

    Resources

    Hi! :wave: I'm not a parent, but I've seen quite a few advice- asking threads and thought it might be a good idea if we could start a sticky/thread that has resources in it for parents on tough issues. The only ones I can think of is Boundaries for Kids by Cloud and Townsend. Anyone else?

    Identity healing?

    Is anyone here familiar with the concept of 'not being or feeling like a real man', or healing male identity? If so, could you comment on what that can involve and how successful it is?

    A Strange Debate

    Continued discussion from 'where is the love?'. You would apparently have us be perfect. I've got news for you. We can't be this side of heaven. He who talks about love does a great job of calling people ignorant. So you need to send me to another place to try to show that they relate...

    Contradictions in the Bible?

    There have been more than one on this site, with some sort of Christian claim or faith icon that have stated that the Bible is 'full of contradictions', or something like that. The purpose of this thread is to determine, bit by bit, if there are. If you think you have some, post them here and...

    Had a dream this morning and I'm not sure what to make of it...

    I dreamed this morning that one of the kids I teach (9) got shot and killed. It seemed to be a warning. Comments? I could use some reassurance here... BTW, the rest of his family are not dedicated Christians, and the kid is slowly viewing it as 'just another activity', so I'm kind of worried.

This is something that has affected everyone in the school and the surrounding community. Please be in prayer for their friends...

    Why... ?

    Why is it logical to view God outside of the context of the Bible? Subjectively?

    Working with an autistic kid... advice wanted

    Not sure if this is the right thread for this, but I figured I'd get good advice here vs. in Christian Advice... God's called me to befriend, guide, and mentor a kid with Autism (he's in 7th grade). From what I can tell, he looks up to me (though has an odd way of showing it of course), and is...

    Discernment/vision gift?

    Okay, this is going to be a bit long, but bear with me. To start with, I'd like to say that I've noticed something about people- some stick out. When I say stick out, I'm not talking about physical features or anything they wear- but they stick out. It's like they shine. Now, here's what I've...

    Kids needing Christ

    I don't have kids, but I do have campers that I worked with this summer. I would like prayer for Mike, Mark, Je, Jay, Jake, Stu, Amery, and Hal. Mike, Jay, Stu and are all unsaved- meaning that they do not display an active faith in Jesus Christ. Stu I have seen the most progress with...
