    Traumatized From Money Loan to Sister and Drug Dealer

    Hello Faith712: In my opinion, if I were in that situation, I would apologize to your sister, in order to mend the relationship. But I would wait for her to call me first, so as to give her a chance to calm down and recollect herself. And during the conversation, I would let her vent, by being...

    Race is Not Important... Character Is

    Hello Michie, I agree. Basically, the left-wing news media convinced a lot of very gullible Americans that there are millions or perhaps billions of Neo-Nazi, Skinhead, and Ku Klux Klan members roaming around, ready to pounce on the nearest minority. This is being done deliberately to...

    Worried and concerned

    Hello Emily7584, "Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding" (Proverbs 3:5). You do this by: "Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done" (Philippians 4:6). Cheers, Al A. Gammate

    Calling all Word of Faith

    Hello Now Faith, I watched the video "American Gospel: Christ Alone Movie - Documentary or Propaganda?" by Rod Saunders. And I must say that Rod Saunders sliced and diced the critics of the Word of Faith movement. His Word of Faith apologetics is powerful. I would love to see a public debate...

    Atheism Disproven?

    In my opinion, I find it difficult to hold onto the ideology of classical atheism after reading the following passages by two very deep thinkers: Douglas Wilson on Atheism "If there is no God, then all that exists is time and chance acting on matter. If this is true then the difference...

    The not so friendly neighbour

    Hello Hopeful37, Been there, done that. Sharing the same wall, floor, or ceiling with a neighbor can be a very challenging experience. From my experience, most neighbors are not noise-sensitive to the point of making noises behind your noises. But such noise-sensitive neighbors do exist...

    If I can’t trust God to protect/help in this life how am I supposed to trust Him for the afterlife?

    Hello Questioning Brother, I am sorry for your pain and suffering, but please understand that life is supposed to be tough and in many instances brutally tough. It is designed that way. Nevertheless, the Bible does offer us a blueprint on how to handle life's challenges. Step One: "Keep on...

    Prayers continually rejected by God

    The reason I am losing faith is the pain in God’s plan, why does he think more will bring me back?

    Many humans desire a life of comfort and ease. But comfort and ease cause weakness and atrophy. Consider the muscles. Muscles only grow stronger and larger when subjected to pain via physical exercise. Nevertheless, if you allow the muscles to avoid pain (physical exercise), they will shrink...

    Ask God for Anything?

    Hello Everyone, I had stumbled on an interesting passage in the Bible that might be worth philosophizing about. Here's the passage: "And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it" (John...

    Beware of the Left-Wing Media and Modern Liberals

    I believe the left-wing media is deliberately pushing a very dangerous lie that all police officers are attempting to target and murder minorities for no other reason than they are minorities. This action is extremely irresponsible and evil, causing the deaths of too many police officers. The...

    Very depressed, and discouraged

    From my own personal experiences, during times when I had bouts of depression, I found that saying positive affirmations to myself such as "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me" (Philippians 4:13), several times a day, everyday helped to improve my mood. On top of this, I...
