    In need of prayers more than you could possibly understand

    Anyone who asks for prayer deserves our prayer. We are not to judge who is deserving or not. So I will pray for your pain and God’s healing and discernment for you regarding God’s will in your life. I hope you get better, sister.

    Can't stop backsliding

    There’s no such thing as a perfect church. They all have flaws because it is full of imperfect, sinful people … we all are. This is the problem when I hear Christians disappointed, they were looking at people. You might not know that some of these people were also looking at you and expect a...

    Depression and anxiety related to doubting salvation

    Hi Brent, Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit being unforgivable was possible only during the time Jesus was on earth when the Pharisees doubted that it was the Holy Spirit causing the healing and miracles made by Jesus. Any worship and love for Satan, or blasphemy against the Lord or the Holy Spirit...

    Why does God always deny the blessings you most want?

    May I respond to your original post, Brother? Be careful with using the word “ALWAYS,” because that is hard to support. Many Christians do not have the same experience. God will not change for you, it is the other way around. When we see things through God’s point of view as explained in the...

    I'm a failure

    When a person is saved and hears that “you are a new creation,” “you are a child of God,” “He will give you whatever you ask,” “you have the power of the Holy Spirit,” it is natural that a young Christian sees magic, instantaneous transformation, infallibility and want to see results based on...

    Please pray

    I will pray for you, my brother. I have read a good amount of your posts and I feel so sad and burdened by the things happening to you. I really pray that your situation gets better. And I will pray this whole week that your wife undergoes a spiritual transformation to stay away from false...

    new plan to stop inappropriate content addiction.

    Try getting the book, “Every Man’s Battle” by Stephen Arterburn. It will help you by getting informed about what you are dealing with, how it transforms your brain without you noticing it, and how it will control you even if you think you can control it. With other well-known psychologists, they...

    How much of our time should we spend on God?

    There’s really no formula. It seems that what you are doing are normal things that Christians do. Spending time with God should be delightful and not a burden, just like spending time with a loved one. But you cannot do it all the time. So you set your “amount” of time, which also may vary from...

    Marital conflict and frustration

    My wife and I read that book, "Love and Respect" by Eggerichs quite a long time ago as part of our Bible Study and I forgot about it. SirHash is right, this is a good book and consider getting it because it can transform the way you treat each other. It did that to me and my wife. And also, the...

    Marital conflict and frustration

    IMHO, it seems to me that your problem is mainly about family dynamics, you have certain idiosyncrasies from your past and she has hers. There are a lot of resources about how to properly discuss issues like this article, “Keeping Marital Conflict Healthy” at Keeping Marital Conflict Healthy -...

    How is God’s grace sufficient?

    I am not downplaying your pain, but if your loved one is 100 years old and you want her to go on for 20 more years, what then? We desperately need healing, sometimes it comes miraculously, sometimes it comes through medical science, sometimes it doesn’t come at all. It does not change the other...

    How is God’s grace sufficient?

    Well, QB, what is grace to you? How do you define it? Is it a feel-good thing that Christians just throw around to make another calm and settle down, as you said, comforting words? Here is a good definition, XXXX, but even this I think is not enough. As I understand it, grace is ALL the good...

    Marriage Separation

    Keep on praying, and I will pray for you this week. It is good that you got connected to a sexual purity bible study group. Get some counseling from a pastor as well, initially just for yourself, then your wife and then together. You need to keep pursuing restoration while there is still hope.

    Unexpected death - how to help non-believers?

    Keep praying for him, this is the first thing to do. Pray that the ground be prepared and that God will send you to minister to him. It might even turn out that it is not you who will be able to really share the Gospel with him. Be a friend and model compassion but pray and wait for the proper...

    Pleas pray about my marriage

    I will pray for you, my brother. I do not understand why she would get upset. As your wife she should have shown compassion and concern. For this to trigger physical violence and destruction of property, you need to get back to the pastor and ask for more help, hopefully some church volunteers...

    Please pray for me!

    This is a very difficult situation. You need to be commended for everything you are doing, being a responsible husband and father. There are many men and women who would just get up and leave. This shows your strength and groundedness. You and your family need as much prayer as you can get. But...

    Guilt from the past

    God can choose to forget your sins because He is God, while you are not. You are human, our minds are feeble, deceptive, corruptible, imperfect and fallen. It takes time because your guilt is genuine and the devil is there trying to lure you back, to get you to throw up your arms in the air...
