    Interested in knowing more about the church

    Hi, Hope you don't mind me posting here. I was at a country show this weekend and there was a stall held by the local Seventh Day Adventist Church and they were so kind. They gave me a selection of books and leaflets and one of their Bibles and it's really interested me. I thought about it a...

    Faith gets worse as I become more unwell

    Every time my BPD gets bad, my faith really struggles. I stop going to church or reading the Bible. Stop listening to Christian songs or talking about God with people. I don't know how to keep my faith strong at the times I really need it. Any advice?

    How do you meet people?

    I'm now 30 and still single. I don't think I will ever meet anyone who likes me and wants to be in a relationship with me. Everyone at churches seem to be married with children at this age and I feel like I am just going to be alone for ever. I have really bad anxiety too and so find it too...

    Is faith enough?

    I have been reading various chapters in the Bible over the last few days and they all seemed to be connected to faith being what is needed to be saved and to give the hope of eternal life (I love how the Lord connects these things!!) When it says that faith in Christ is all that is needed -...

    What is modesty to you?

    The more I study the Bible and come closer to God, the more I want to be modest in my clothes, thoughts, behaviour etc, but have found so many differing views on what modesty should be in Christianity. How do you view modesty? What clothes do you think are modest? What behaviour or acts would...

    Will fasting help save my faith?

    I am really struggling right now with my faith. i was going to post here and complain about why God doesn't love me and why He allows me to lose faith. then I started reading some threads on here and in my head was answering them with everything that I should be telling myself. That God is...

    Annotating Bibles

    Do any of you have a Bible that you annotate? I have one that I write in a lot. I highlight verses, write notes in the margin, cross reference scriptures. I love having a Bible that is annotated. I have markers for certain chapters etc. I do have another one that I like to keep clean...

    Prayers for univeristiy :(

    I am studying for an MSc and the research project I was involved has now moved to a location which would take me over 6 hours a day travelling, and approximately £600-700. I am really unsure whether I can continue with the project. I keep thinking about it and it makes me feel so anxious...

    Lent

    Lent begins on the 13th February. What do you guys do throughout the six weeks? Do you fast? Give up something? Take up something? My church generally fasts the first and last day, and from when I was little I would use it as a period of abstinence of something - be it chocolate, bread...

    Really need some prayers and kindness

    I've not been around much recently. I've been having a really difficult time so have been keeping to myself, or going crazy with various ways of dealing with stress and anxiety. I never really write much on these forums about the personal things I am going through. I've also not really got...

    Everyone is being taken :(

    I don't really know what I am asking you guys to pray for. Since June, people close to have have either left or have died. My dog also died, and now my little bird. So many people and animals in only a few months. It makes no sense. I don't know why God is taking everyone from me, does me...

    Hey guys, Wanted to see how many of you have converted to the Catholic faith? I have been thinking about it for years, and seeing as the thought doesn't go away I feel I really should look into it more. I have a few questions for anyone who has converted? Did you know beforehand that...
