As I understand it, early Christians didn't have a Bible with NT writings to study from (understandable considering that that is the time period in which the NT was written). I've been doing a bit of digging for information and understand that the Bible as we know it today was compiled...

California is on fire. Our biggest utility service keeps shutting down the power every few days (which is hurting businesses and schools), which was supposed to prevent these fires from happening. Instead, another big fire has been caused by this utility service and (again) another town is being...

I have recently (as of a handful of months ago but started considering doing so years before that) stopped going to the church that I was raised in because I no longer felt like I was a real part of it and I was a bit disgusted with some of things I've seen go on amongst the church's members...

I caught my mother on the phone with my great uncle telling him absolute lies about me (he has dementia so he doesn't know any better than to take her for her word) and both of them were talking about kicking me out onto the streets so that I'll "pick myself up by the bootstraps" and learn to...

Having more trouble with my ears because of allergies and such. Haven't slept well in five days and my doctor says there's nothing she can do. :( I just want a good 8 hours worth of sleep and for whatever is messing up my right ear to go away.

My friend's niece was taken to the children's hospital and she has a low blood cell count and really high fever. It might be leukemia. She's only 2 years old and her parents are very young.

I miss going to church but I just cannot go because noise just really hurts my ears. Even sitting in the cry room with adjustable volume doesn't help because sound coming through speakers really messes with my hearing and because eventually someone will come in with a crying baby (which is what...

Every single guy that I've dated (not a lot, more like 4 and two of them only lasted a week before I ended things myself) since high school were perfectly normal when our relationship was just friends but as soon as it progressed into a romantic relationship, suddenly it was always like their...

This weekend I intended to spend time with a male friend that I hadn't seen in awhile (we still talked over facebook and text) and while I may have had a crush on him, nothing prepared me for a complete change in his character after we decided to kiss. He turned really creepy on me and basically...

A fair amount of Christians say that Adam and Eve ate the fruit God commanded them not to eat because Satan deceived them into believing it was good for them and would make them like God. Many Christians say that because they didn't know better they were easily decieved. Here's the sticking...

I keep getting recurring ear infections in one ear from my eustachian tube dysfunction (for which there is no treatment that works for me and my ENT has given up) and it makes my tinnitus so intrusive and loud which makes it near impossible to sleep. Please pray that this goes away soon :( I...

As my condition gets worse my mother gets angrier and hates me more and more. I'm never enough and not trying hard enough for her. Her attacks of anger come down on my more frequently and they in turn make me incredibly angry (because I do not deserve to be treated this way, much less by my own...

When talking to various Christians both online and offline, in person or over text, about my situation regarding my severe hearing loss and ultra-severed tinnitus and how it affects me both physically and emotionally to the point of being disabled, I get mixed answers on how I should approach...

I know I know, God doesn't think I'm worthless. But that doesn't stop me from feeling that way. My mom thinks that I'm lazy and selfish because I have to have a lot of downtime to recover from being active and doing things that need to be done and because I have to sleep a lot to help keep my...

Most of the people I know in my life around my age (I'm 25) have extremely bad parents who treat them poorly. Even people I don't know personally claim that their parents treat them terribly. As someone who had two parents who both struggled with mental illnesses and personality disorders, I can...

A good friend of mine, Shaun, is struggling to process and cope with the death of one of his best friends, Kris, who passed away yesterday after a long fight in the ICU due to Chronic Granulomatous Disorder. He was only 31 years old. He leaves behind his family and his two very young children...

I was having a discussion with a fellow Christian a few weeks ago about how far humanity has come in terms of scientific discoveries and the gathering of knowledge. Some of the things we have heard from others over the years include sayings like "God works in mysterious ways" and "the more I...

I'm about to be fired from my job. They already took me out of the system and everything. When I go into work tomorrow I'll be given my firing notice. It seems like every time I try to just find the strength to continue on, I get kicked back down again. And I can't depend on God for any kind...

Not using her name because she might not want her name out there. So for now we'll call her G. Please pray for her. She's a very kind and helpful person who moderates on another forum I'm part of and her husband left her after 30+ years of marriage. She also has Meniere's disease to deal with...

I've come to accept that my prayers won't change God's mind or won't spring him into action on my behalf. Everything goes according to his plan (including the horrible awful things) and he has planned out every instance where he will help us and where he will not help us. I know prayer is...
