    Please don't judge me....

    The thing is, to stop we have to take to initiative ourselves. If you truley desire to stop then when a tempting opportunity comes up, you will say no, that you want to glorify God instead. On a practical level that's hows it done, you make the choice to stop an action that does not glorify God...

    Please pray for me, as things dramactically change next year

    So after a year of being on and off with God, the past 3 months, I have experienced a much deeper love for God and am definatly walking in his will now and committing to his ways in every way that I know how. I just finished school for good a few months ago and I've been working a few days a...

    Hard-hitting topics

    Encouraging holliness in everyday life I find is really hard. I guess it's a largely talked about topic, but I know that it's something that a lot of people don't put a lot of effort into. It's so important to be equiping others to be a holy example to the world. Best of luck, hope you see much...

    Advice needed on a couple of things

    1. Well, reality is we aren't always going to be jumping on the first chance to read the bible. When it comes to that, you need to keep praying and believing upon God to change your enuthusiasim. Until the time comes that your more easily reading the bible, you can do thing like reading...

    Feel like satan is putting up a battle for me and god giving me opportunities?

    One point I'd like to make is that you really need to get into a good church. Being in church isn't about meeting some sort of expectation, but being around a community of believers who will help you in your daily struggles. And also it would also help just in your own spirit. Please don't be...

    Is T.B. Joshua a False Chrstian Prophet?

    I never heard of him, but just from reading what you wrote, I definatly feel he is a fake. He has some odd beliefs that don't line up with the bible. It's sad there's so many wolves in sheep's clothing

    I need advice on starting a bible study...

    Is there other people coming? I think stepping out of the square and inviting people who your not as close with, can bring great things. Also if (and hopefully) your part of a church then ask an enthusiastic member, doesn't matter if you know them well or not, to get involved and give some...

    Should I buy The Sims 3?

    Yeah I guess it's just a game though. Just don't get addicted, I know I used to spend over 12 hours straight sometimes playing the sims...

    Things u only see in church:

    I don't what most churches are like, but I know the one I go to is nothing like that. The thing about church, is it's filled with sinners. All we are is people reedeemed by God, we aren't God so the church is never going to be perfect. Though, with some of the things you mentioned, I would say...

    Daddy Issues

    All I can say is you just have to do it, simple as that. Just pray and put in the effort into your relationship. I haven't seen my Dad in 7 or so years mainly because I kept saying I'd eventually get in contact with him. Time passes quickly and now it becomes harder than ever to make the effort.

    Walking away...

    The thing I would question is, if not to live for God then what else lasts inb eternity. we can make money, give to charity, be a friend, be an otherhalf, do things that are enjoyable and many other things in our daily lives, but if each thing we do isn't for God then we do everything in vain...

    How can I get my 12 yr old into church?

    Yeah I agree with youth groups. If you look around your area and see which church has the most vibrant youth group. I used to go to youth group when I was a bit younger and there was a lot of kids around 12 to 15 years who loved it. They weren't necaccarily from christain homes and a lot didn't...

    11 year old brother wants an Ipad?

    I have teenage friends who've always got whatever they have wanted, not to the extent of ipad's when they were 11, but none the less they get what they want. This girl who is 18, has her own job but her parents still pay for everything, including completly unnecessary items leaving the whole...

    Picking a Denomination

    The thing with the church is it's full of sinner's, so it's never going to be perfect! Luckily there is redemption in christ. :) For me, I go to a baptist church and I love it. Yes, there is people who are quite out there, but after all isn't that the obligation of all followers of christ to...

    Need advice on a friendship *long read*

    It's true that can be hard when it seems people won't budge. What I think is best to do, is be in the word all the time so you have answers, let the holy spirit speak through you when your being questioned. If she denies that, then all you can do is let your Godly light shine and the test of...

    How Old Do You Think the Earth Is?

    Personally, I lean to the 11 000 side. Does it matter in my eyes? No, not really. I don't get why God would leave the universe and earth for millions of years in our time, but either way, I can see that the lord is behind it all. :)

    Demon Possession

    This is what I think, a person can become demon possed when they let pagan things into their lives and other similar stuff. I think a spirit can follow people and influence them just from taking their eyes of God, but not actually be within them. At the begining of this year, I was pretty far...
