Charge card bill arrives. It has a number of mysterious transactions on it. Call charge card company. They say they will investigate and get back to you. They call back an hour later asking if you have spoken to your husband about the charges as the calls are to sex lines. Knowing your husband...

Nothing like support from a group of Christian parents.

Or maybe not. I'm in a new country, I know no-one, I'm not sure whether to continue studying or whether to get a job (one has come up as a possibility), one of my kids is unsettled in school ... I'd be inclined to homeschool but I want to be able to do things like work and study and no I can't...

I recently started a masters degree in a field I have worked in and enjoyed. This is my first time back on campus in many years and I completed my previous degree by distance. There was a different Masters degree I preferred to do but the time involved in placements didn't work with my family...

OK, so I have come to realise after 20 years of marriage I have never felt a burning desire for my husband or any other man for that matter. I'm ok once I get going and it can be good but I found abstaining from sex before marriage easy (supposed to be hard to keep hands off each other isn't...

I was at church the other week and I was prayed for and I felt God's presence really strongly. I was kind of overwhelmed and I think it was apparent as someone came and stood behind me in case I fell, which I never have done before. I didn't fall, but I did buckle at the knees a couple of times...

I got a letter from a church I haven't been at for 3 years. "Dear Parish member ..." (ha!) "We are doing programme .... and would like to know if you would like to contribute towards supporting it financially...". We left this church after a major health crisis in the family, we had attended...

Hi everyone, a while ago I posted about some difficulties I was having with the financial side of my counselling practice in my church. I decided I didn't want to charge and decided to put my faith in people's generosity. I have made it clear to everyone that I am not paid by the church but...

Just wonder what your thoughts are on this. If someone felt very free to dance and sing passionately when at home, how come they feel inhibited in church? The obvious thing is that at home no-one is looking. How can they 'let go' and just let out what is inside, especially when on stage leading...

What would you do? I've put a poll up so you can vote for church A or church B. I know ultimately it's about where God leads but let's assume it doesn't actually matter because neither is right or wrong. So here are the details: CHURCH A: Church you have been at for 2 years. You're fairly...

Can anyone suggest some good deliverance songs? Thanks.

If you are part of a ministry team that cares for people, and you are aware of someone having a struggle that you should report, and they tell you that they have not talked to any of the leaders - and are thinking of changing churches ... but they won't talk to you any further knowing you are on...

For those who don't know, I'm doing counselling and pastoral care out of church. I'm just feeling frustrated with everything right now. First, waiting on my contract. I contacted the pastor two weeks ago and haven't even had an acknowledgement about this important issue ... so I re-sent it...

I start work this week in the pastoral care team. I don't feel I'm very good at praying and am a bit nervous about doing so in front of all the pastors. Any suggestions?

Some of you know I've been working in the counselling/psychology area for a while and moving into pastoral care. Last year, God laid on my heart that I should be coming alongside other people and walking with them in a spiritual vocation. In January this year, I felt that this was...

I'm new this this board ... have been doing some counselling out of my church and am currently moving into the pastoral care area. (Will continue some counselling). I'm also involved in worship ministry. I've recently been offered a position heading up a pastoral care department in a...
