    You have to be very patient with her. Talk to her like a friend, and not like someone who is accusing her of spending a lot of money and taking unnecessary medication. Ask her how unbearable her pain is, and if all these meds are really helping her. Try to make her gradually understand...

    Spreading the good news

    The truth is that our historical time is atheistic and materialistic. Most people are afraid to talk about God, they are afraid to mention Jesus’ name, or to talk about anything related to religion. They prefer to simply follow Jesus’ example alone, without trying to help...

    Insight-Brother living with girlfriend, growing issue

    I had a similar problem with my son and his girlfriends. Many of them were practically living with us. He changed girlfriends many times… We didn’t like it, but we had to get used to it because there was no way my son would understand that this was not something he should do. This is how today’s...

    Excommunication

    This is a tradition. It may seem outdated in our time, but if the church insists so much in a wedding, it is because the relationships without marriage can be too many. Besides that, a young couple that works for the church should be a good example to be followed. They cannot be part of the...

    Everything can be solved, and you will find your peace of mind, besides helping other people too. I was also thinking about the way that your wife treats your children… If she is so cruel with you, how is her relationship with your children? She doesn’t seem to be a person able to respect...

    Need advice on dealing with a bad spouse

    I believe that it is obvious that the devil is dominating your wife, and that you are her victim. Your children are her victims too. God doesn’t want to oblige you to live near the devil. I think that it is totally wrong to consider your separation as if it was a sin. It is more than obvious...

    Sinning against god?

    What doesn’t make sense for you in Christianity doesn’t make sense for God too, because His lessons were distorted by the human mind and its selfishness. If there is poverty and suffering in our world, this is not God’s fault, but the result of human evilness. If there are many religions...

    The signs are very bad. You have to be realistic. I believe that you insistence with this marriage is a mistake, because your wife doesn’t respect you. You have the right to have your freedom, since you are a victim in this case. Your life with your wife is pure torture for you...

    I am so afraid of dying

    You won’t die. This fear is psychological: it is not a prediction. You need treatment, so that the panic attacks may stop torturing you, and your depression may disappear. There are many things that you can do about that if you’ll look for solutions. Besides that, if you believe in God you...

    What are some questions I can ask myself everyday to be better accountable to God?

    You could also ask the following: How many times did God forgive me today? How many people did I help today? How many lessons did I learn? Was I a teacher for someone else today? Did I bring light to the world? Is God happy with me?
