My husband and I were only friends for about a year. I was dating another guy, and had no intentions of being with anyone else ever. I wasn't looking, and I made that very clear. My husband, then friend, Dave, understood that I just wanted a good Christian friend to hang out with. And that's...

Try saying 2 Timothy 1:7 “For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind!” Romans 10:17 says "So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ." Speaking Scriptures out loud, and hearing them with your own voice is very...

First of all, congratulations on getting your life straight and making a decision to follow Christ! It is one that you won't regret - a great decision for you and for your children. If you and your boyfriend have been together for 2 years, then you have had plenty of time to learn about him and...

When we told the kids about the event, we were very careful to explain to them that if they did not feel a conviction to stay pure, then don't do it. Two girls told me at the beginning, "We don't want to buy rings at the end." And they actually ended up asking if I could front them money to get...

I forgot to mention that the people doing those "studies" are also people who are not Christians and are looking to discredit programs like the Silver Ring Thing. The devil will use anything, including the media to make Christians look like fools. In the parent/leader session, they told us...

I'm sure you can find something negative about everything. There are always going to be people that don't make it, kids that do it for the wrong reasons, or kids that stray from their relationship with God and can't do it through their own strength. A lot of kids do make it and thee proof is in...

Two weeks ago, the Silver Ring Thing came to our area and my husband and I were able to take 16 teenagers with us to the event. For those of you that aren't familiar with it, it is a purity event for kids in middle and high school. They travel all over the country and world doing these...

The fact that no one has answered this makes me a little nervous that everyone will jump on me for answering, but... I think I do make my husband's life better. Iron sharpens iron, Proverbs 27:17 tells us, and it is true about our relationship. We are able to challenge each other to be better...

If you are asking, does it matter if the person your marrying was still a virgin, then no. If you asking, does it matter if people in general stick to abstinence, then yes it does matter, the biggest reason being God commanded us to obstain from sex outside of marriage.

It might just be me, but I'm not sure what any of this means.

Cold drink. Even if you're cold, its still feels goos going down. Would you rather have chocolate or vanilla?

I just started cross stitching and that is quickly becoming a hobby I really enjoy. Also a big reader. My husband and I play Rummy 500, with a twist. As a means to spend some quality talking time, we are playing to 10,000. Right now we are in the 5,000's and he is leading by 200. We started...

I can't answer your question because DH and I both work full time. But I can understand how you could feel like that is just, off. I plan on working until I am pregnant, and then I'll work up until the baby is close, then stay home with our kids. In our case, I'll still feel like I'm working for...

Who wants to talk about down time? As a lighthearted topic, what do you do in your spare time? Do you have a favorite hobby or activity? What about hobbies that you share with your spouse?

I currently serve in the children's ministry. I started teaching the 3 to 5 grade class a couple of months ago, and it is a challenge. Kids are very different now then when I was their age attending Sunday school. I stepped down from the music ministry in November of 2009 after serving for 3...

As a lighthearted topic, I wanted to talk about what types of ministries everyone is involved in. In what areas do you get to serve in your church family?

Hot coals. You can just run really fast! Would you rather be a great seamstress or a great cook?

That's super easy, CLOTHES SHOP!!! Who doesn't love to shop! Would you rather visit Ireland or Australia?

Well if I just had to have it once, a cold sore. Would you rather have to give a presentation to 100 people, or bungee jump?

We are doing a Bible study with our youth right now on the Fruit of the Spirit. We are of course continually going back to Gal 5:22-23, and as we go through each of the different fruits, we use the concordance and pull out everything the Bible says on each one. I can't say that I know of any...
