    Where Is Your God Now???

    The Bible says God is omnipresent so the only place you can have a "God free zone" is in your heart.

    Advice for a struggling friend

    I admire your concern for your friend. I hope she realizes that friends like you are very rare. Sexual urges are extremely strong, especially if you've had sex and know what it feels like. She is battling between the flesh and the Spirit. As the old saying goes, the spirit is willing but the...

    I'm pretty sure I'm a bad person.

    You don't say what the sin is but only that it's a lie. I can't imagine what kind of lie could cause you to lose everything you have "worked for" but I can tell you than anything is worth losing in order to be in right relation with God. If you've gained anything through lying than you never...

    loving one another

    We all deserve to be rejected and yet Jesus loves us all. And yet none of us deserve to be rejected because Jesus loves us all. This may sound contridictory but really is not. People who are unlovable still do not deserve to be rejected. However, you don't have to be with them 24/7 either. Not...

    Is it a mistake to send Christian kids to public schools?

    Jesus ate and drank with sinners and sent us into the world to be ambassadors for Him and spread His Good News. He told the disciples to go into all the world and preach the Gospel. How can we seclude ourselves from the world and shine our lights at the same time. The Bible says to live in...

    Have any of YOU done this?

    Fasting is a very personal thing. It is not about striving to eat as little as possible because when we do that we are placing some of the emphasis on ourselves. Jesus fasted food and water for 40 days and 40 nights but I do believe that it was something that the Father called Him to do. It...

    Why was it important that Mary was Virgin before she had Christ?

    To be born of a man would mean to be born from sinful seed. To be born of a women's egg would also mean to be born from sinful seed. The only way to have a sinless birth is to have a Holy God implant a Holy seed in Mary's womb thus creating a sinless child.

    St Paul didn't support sola scriptura.

    Jannes and Jambres were egyptian magicians and can be found in Isaiah 60:1 At Paul's conversion, if you remember, he tells us that he was taught directly from Jesus. I would imagine Jesus told him "It is more blessed to give than receive" during this time.

    Faith struggles - help please!

    It seem like you are placing a lot of emphasis on what you are doing to reach God when He is the one who came down for us. Yes, Jesus is our intessor but we also have direct access to come boldly to the throne of God. God is not inaccessable. On the contrary, He knows what you need even before...

    Is this bipolar or OCD?

    I am not a psychiatrist but my husband has bipolar disorder, OCD and ADHD diagnosed about 10 years ago and has never exibited anything like this. You probably should look into it.

    Why is it so hard to stop swearing?

    I think there is a line that can be crossed that God draws in the sand but not as deeply as we might want it to be. There are certain words in our society that anyone with any kind of morals would deem inappropriate under any circumstances. Then I think people can get so legalistic, such as the...

    Thanks for the welcome. I see you are a prayer warrior. I have a doc's app't this morning at 9 AM to try to get accepted for rotator cuff surgery because I don't have any insurance. I fell in Sept. and have had severe pain and immobility since then. Slowly God has opened doors for me to get...

    Joel Osteen

    I agree that Joel Osteen is a motivational speaker and preaches a prosperity message. IMO the church of today wants to hear what this guy and most other TV evangelists tell them. Hard to see Mr. Osteen filling God's calling of either a Pastor or Evangelist. I don't think he's what God had in...

    Was the thief on the cross saved by faith alone?

    If he did die on the cross as a criminal then he already was an enemy of Gof.

    Is/Should government be without compassion and understanding ?

    I Don't Think There Is Much Logic To The Laws We Have Been Passing In Recent Years. I Think Our Founding Fathers Said What They Meant And Meant What They Said But I Don't Think They Anticipated The Incredibly Illogical World We Would Become When They Wrote The Founding Documents. If They Did...

    Why is it so hard to stop swearing?

    PART OF OUR FALLEN HUMAN NATURE IS TO FIND SIN ALLURING AND FUN. IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO GROW IN THE GRACE AND KNOWLEDGE OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST AND TO CRUCIFY THE FLESH DAILY. WE WILL ALWAYS HAVE THIS BATTLE BUT THE MORE WE CRUCIFY THAT FLESH THE MORE WE WILL BE ABLE TO BECOME MORE...
