    Defending ourselves as Christians

    Rich Wilkerson back in 1994 gave an example of what he'd do. I'll simply tell you he said he only has one cheek to turn. Personally, I'd make an attempt to stop the onslaught. Not necessarily with retaliation, but rather a disarm/defend stance... then I'd ask what the heck the guy's problem was...

    HELP... How to deal with a foot fetish :(

    Even to this day, I have to MAKE myself turn away from staring at a woman's breasts... it's like the first thing my eyes lock onto! Even with my wife at my side!!! In time I've come to be aware of this issue, and now when I "lock on", I consciously "unlock", and in my spirit I give God kudos for...

    Please help us break away from this sin!!

    Prayer is en route. Remember that Jesus is stronger than ANYTHING we get tangled in. Raz, you know the choice you must make if you're to walk with Jesus... nobody has to(nor should they) come down on you about it. I'd like to call your attention to Gideon. He wasn't exactly the model of courage...

    I need strength. Please pray.

    Visionary, we do get paid to do this... currently, it's our way to make a living. It's just that the past month we've been bombarded with things, like having to pay for passports, forgetting documents needed to get passports and having to go back to Georgia from Minnesota to get them, truck...

    help me..help me.. help me...plssss

    A bit of advice, my friend. Yes, receive Jesus into your life. Also, go to Him, that He may receive you. Jesus isn't just a name we "accept" or "receive". He put aside His royal divinity and came to this earth to be the blood sacrifice for YOUR sins. He took your place, man! He did it so that...

    Christian view of ghosts?

    To reinforce what is being said about the weejee board "game"... MANY things we call innocent aren't so. We're just too ignorant to see them as an implement of evil. Consider how you play a weejee board. You ask it a question, usually going deeper and more personal with the questions as the...

    I need strength. Please pray.

    Hey y'all. I've been on here for some time now, and I've enjoyed trying to lift people up, and help point people in the right direction. Now I find myself in a position that I see no way out of. My wife and I have moved people's goods cross country since December '08, and we've had good...

    Christian view of ghosts?

    Yes, there are spirits among us. I've experienced clean and unclean spirits. In Iraq, I was comfortably awakened by a spirit telling me "Great is your reward". I remember such complete happiness from that moment... it gave me strength for the journey. Fast forward four years. I was once woke up...

    Say someone lived a live 'close' to as perfect as Jesus then sinned right before...

    Even if someone led a PERFECT life, and followed the Law of God to the letter, and obeyed God everytime... without Jesus, they're bound for hell, because they've ignored the gift of salvation in Jesus' sacrifice. On the flipside... I, once a drunkard, once a sick-minded individual who you...

    Dear God

    Dear God, I just want to say Thank You. You've saved my life in Jesus' sacrifice, and You've conquered death for me. To top it off, You've given me a beautiful wife who I love dearly, and a wonderful son who knows nothing but love in his heart. Why are you so good to me?

    Paul Washer

    Paul Washer doesn't like what he sees in American Christianity. I have to agree with him. When he preaches, the emotions get worked up in motivation untill people are so pumped up by what they're hearing... and then he reminds the crowd that he's talking to THEM. We all like a good message about...

    Can christians drink alcohol?

    We all have our weaknesses. For some of us, it's the opposite sex. For others, gambling, Others still, money, drugs, their fast car... and if you've had a problem with overdoing it in the past with alcohol, then you best not tempt yourself with it now. I heard a pastor once say "It's okay to...

    When you tryto not sin.

    Oh, and start in Acts to know the power of God in true believers. For guidance and instruction, go from Romans to Jude. Also, read John 17... Jesus' prayer to God for YOU. He loves you like crazy!

    When you tryto not sin.

    Of course you make God happy by trying to do the right thing! Now, I'm not beating on other people's religions here, but the fact that satan is coming against you like this simply proves that you made the right choice... think of all the requirements other religions heap on their followers, and...

    My Tattoo

    So true. Don't let tattoos become an issue in your life. What matters is your relationship with Jesus. My bro-in law is almost crazy in Christ, and he has USMC on his arm wrapped in barbed wire. If anything, it helps him to remember the life he was saved from... we all have those kind of "scars."

    The Lazy Man vs the Worker

    The sabbath was made for man, not the other way around. God knows our limitations, and the sabbath is sort of His ounce of prevention for our well-being. Imagine trying to go a whole week without sleep... you'd be useless for the month after! Our spirit needs that same rest, too. Not the...

    How to convert an Atheist to a Christian! Please help!!!!

    It sounds like you have a genuine heart for these friends. Don't tell them about Jesus, ever... LIVE OUT JESUS RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM. When they ask you how you can still have that unspeakable joy after hell has raged against you, when they see your faithfulness to count your blessing to the...

    feeling the weight of the world...

    As for the view of salvation, it can be tricky to talk to people about. But, Jesus said we'll know a tree by the fruit it bears. If someone thinks he can do whatever he wants after he "gets saved", he goes against what Jesus said... was he ever really saved??? On the other hand, to be saved...

    Should I make the commitment prayer?

    Welcome to the family! Angels are rejoicing over you in Heaven right now... talk about a party! Yes, you've started a walk with Jesus. This isn't like a date or anything. This is an all-out committment for life... think marriage on Red Bull. What's most important is that you continue to walk...
