Thank you all for the replies, I have come to a decision that works for me. Foxfyre you wrapped it up in a neat package! No way!!!! You don't say! I really can't believe this (I am saying this unsarcastically).

I'm sorry for replying late to my own thread. I am grateful for everyone's replies and views. I have read through them all and it has helped me a lot. I was just scared that choosing to shun certain music based on the artist being gay was a bigoted attitude for a Christian to have ("if not for...

This is a topic that always made me wonder. I try to examine the music that I hear because it is such a powerful influence. Therefore, I also examine the artists I listen to as well to guard what comes in to me from their lifestyle. I have been doing pretty well until I come and find out that a...

Thank you! You too! We'll make it together all of us in Jesus' name.

I appreciate brother, but I just do what I can.

Wow, and I thought I had it rough when I read what others have went through with their parents. But still, this message hits the very heart of my Christian walk. I find it very difficult to turn the other cheek when it comes to forgiveness with my own my own mom. When I was small, my parents...

Amen, I will be expecting a great thing brother. May God Have is way! That's a great idea, and I have been thinking about it whenever I have a chance on my summer break to try and go and visit. It is just that I fear if I can barely withstand her with this much distance between us, I scarce...

Thank for you for this advice, forgive my late reply. I have been praying a lot more because of this and that in itself is a good thing for my spiritual life, and I am trusting God for His breakthrough in this situation. Now I also know the weight of making promises or agreements, and I will...

I appreciate the practical advice. Well, I have been having my periods of quiet time throughout the past week with no music playing and my phone put away and I just hear my own thoughts and desires, like you mentioned, or just floating thoughts that pass through my mind from time to time. It's...

Thank you. I have been praying, very much so. I am trying to listen to what God would have me do but honestly it's hard because I haven't been hearing anything. I would think not to trust that person too but because she happens to be my mother I thought that would trump anything else when it...

Okay, that's what you mean. No, I don't really have friends and no one knows this in my church beyond me saying pray for my mom for her housing situation. I understand what you mean about me having these kind of people in my life who would sit down and care. Maybe I am just not that free in...

Thank you for your input. I also wonder to her mental state as well because this also ties into her being a Christian, so to speak. Even before all this when everything was good, she would use God for everything and hide behind God in everything. That may seem weird to say, but like when I would...

Sorry for the late replies, being in engineering studies takes a lot of time. But I will reply as often as I am able. Thank you fo your patience and care.

Thank you so much for your advice, I appreciate it really. I always thought that, because I am the last support she is standing on but I just so badly want her to return to her normal self because she wasn't always like this, at least not to this degree. She had a nice side, a kind side, but the...

I am sorry to hear about this, but be of good courage brother! You mustn't be going on about this as it is not the inheritance of a follower of Christ. We are inheritors of better things, not depression, not doom, not discouragement. I am not your girlfriend's judge but if she accepted Christ...

Hello all, greetings in love. I have a situation that has been draining me over the last few years. To give a brief overview it all started when I was little and my parents divorced, though my mom already had a son from a previous man but that wasn't the reason for the divorce. After dad left...

Thank you for that reply. I am gaining more insight from this than from several articles and forum posts I've read on the web. And it was beautifully sad of how you said that sort of brokenness touched you deeply. I can see the blessings behind it, but I am just trying to see how this is applied...

Then how does one who wants nothing to do with God suddenly want to change from his wicked ways and wants to live like God? What is the cause of the change? And I never heard that Adam and Eve were prototypes banned to Earth. What made you to think that? Weren't they already on Earth?

Really? That's wonderful. Greetings from Lakeland :).

Ok, finally someone with experience with this! Don't mind the barrage of questions :flatt:! So, you did this not once but twice in your life? What ages did you do this? And how did you know the extent of how much to give/sell? As in could you at least keep your living arrangements and...
