    He was there for me before I even knew him

    “God, you can’t have him yet. He’s mine and I need him. Our kids need him! I can’t lose him right now, it’s not the right time and we’re not ready. Please don’t take him from us. I’m begging you”. These were the first words I have ever truly spoken to God and I meant them with every fibre of my...

    Is it God or Satan?

    Wow, thank you all so very much for replying. You have given me so much comfort and so many things to consider. I really do appreciate it so much! I honestly do have a longing for God, and he's just so important to me that I don't want to get it wrong. I'm going to take a look at some of those...

    Is it God or Satan?

    I was not raised with religion as a part of my life but came to believe in God about 4 years ago when I went to him in utter desperation and he was there for me.

    Why is Christianity so focused on Sin?

    I tend to think of Christianity's focus on sin as a positive (to a degree). When my kids were little they were taught very clearly, what was wrong and what was right. That made them happier and more settled because they had guidelines and didn't need to guess. I see the guidelines we are...

    Marriage ADVICE PLEASE!!

    I haven't read all the replies here so please forgive me if I'm repeating somethings already said. I've been married for 20 years and my best advice is to remember that marriage is not always easy and doesn't always feel good. You don't go to church to chase a feeling, just like you aren't in...

    A Muslim-Dominant Society

    I'm a new Christian so there is every chance I'm looking at this whole thing to simplistically. But in my humble opinion, God is the only one who can change this situation. And in the meantime all we can do is live the way we were asked to, not judging, loving others, treating foreigners with...

    Will I be punished for the sins of my parents?

    Hi all, I'm new here and a new Christian and have a couple of questions. I'm not sure if I'm asking these in the right section so apologies in advance if I'm not. Firstly, my parents were very abusive. Physically, mentally, emotionally to a degree that I can't accurately put in to words. My...
