    Birth Control & Abortion

    I prefer to keep things simple. Abortion is abortion. Birth control is birth control. Let's not make things more complicated than they are. Only one is taking a living, growing, human baby, and tearing it into bits, and sucking out it's brain. Again... keep it simple. Abortion is abortion.

    Wanting to stop pursuing God

    I guess I would need more information. I don't see people who are Christians, in spiritual warfare all the time. I don't see Christians reacting the way that you are right now. That leads me to a few questions. Are you reaping something you have sown? The laws of the harvest are that we as...

    Will God give me a mate who smokes?

    Well first, I don't actually believe that G-d will "bring you a mate". I don't actually believe in that line of thinking. If you want a mate that smokes or vapes, then you need to search for such a person. I will say that finding a Christian woman that does either of those, will generally be...

    When you realize you are at the end

    Sure, I mean I've found life depressing since I started school. In high school teens, I knew life would get better. In college 20s, I hoped life would get better. In my working 30s, I was begging that life would get better. I'm 42 now. I've learned not to waste my time on hope.

    When you realize you are at the end

    Yeah, that is possible. Entirely possible. But as it stands now, I can't even think of what I would ever want to do. My parents bought a lake house, up on lake Erie, and I went up on the 4th, because they wanted to show it to me. I found myself sitting inside the house, watching TV. They...

    When you realize you are at the end

    hahah! :D Yes, I have of course walked in the park. I typically will walk 3 miles, in the local state park, through the wooded area. I like the wooded area, because no one is there. And I like walking through the park because it makes time go by faster. Plus it helps me do my favorite...

    Need Clarification Please

    We are not married but have been living together for a year and a half but she is still married to her other man that she hasn't got a divorce from yet. You don't need to continue beyond this point. You do not need to talk it over with her. You don't need to 'battle' anything. You don't...

    How to handle quarrel with spouse?

    No. You need to learn to live with your wife. You choose to marry. You promised G-d that you will spend your life with her. So learn to spend your life with her. This is your duty before G-d.

    Faith through physical action

    Your pastor is dead on right. You can't steer something that isn't moving. So you must move, in order for G-d to move you. (sounds counter intuitive, but it is right). The truth is, any of the things you listed, can have a positive result, if you put the effort into them, and don't bailout...

    In what situations can i use Oh my god

    The only time you can say that phrase correctly, is when you are saying it to G-d himself. When you say to G-d "Oh my G-d, please be with me" or a similar statement, then you are saying G-d's name correctly, because you are talking to him. When you say "Oh my G-d, look at that tick on my...

    Church discipline against me. is this a Right? Letter from church attached.

    Bottom line, the church has the right to follow the teachings in the Bible on how to deal with its members. Part of being a Christian is submitting to the authority of the church. You should submit to the church on this. And no, the church is not mis-using the scriptures. In fact, it's...

    Would God tell me to divorce my husband?

    Would G-d ever tell anyone to break a promise that they made to G-d? No, I don't think so. You made a promise to G-d, that you would spend your life with this man. You should keep your promise. 1 Cor 7:14-15 And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with...

    Help me

    Of course you can stop. No one is forcing you to watch inappropriate content. Get rid of your computer, and your phone, and disconnect your TV. Jesus said, if your hand offends you, cut it off. What do you think that was in reference to? If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw...

    Looking for a new source of advice..

    I'm not sure what to do about all that stuff from decades ago. The only thing I know, is that a girl friend, is just a girl that is a friend. It isn't really possible for a girl friend to cheat on someone, because they never promised their life to you to begin with. A friend is under no...

    EVANGELICAL POLL RESULTS

    I'm a bit torn on it. On the one hand, I can see the value of apologetics, which is the defense of the faith. Such men exist, like Ravi Zacharias. But for most people, what is the goal exactly? Jesus lived a perfect life, and healed people, raised people from the dead even, and he was...

    I feel stupid for asking God for something I don’t think I need or am ready for, now what?

    Everyone, boy or girl, wants to be wanted. Everyone, wants to know someone out there cares at all that you exist. This is normal. However, I would say that you should be careful trying to have that desire met by a boy, at your age. It is simply too early for you, and it is most certainly...

    3 Questions

    First, about not letting anything happen to you that you cannot bear, the actual bible verse says the following: “No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also...

    Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan. I would also suggest some of the books about the missionaries of the past.

    Starting To Feel Like Everything Is Going Wrong

    Where you go to church, you need to meet with the pastor, or an elder, and ask them if you can have some people pray with you. And that means telling them everything that is going on in your life. Everything. You need to be praying, in a group of other men, and you need to be down on your...
