    Advice to Children

    I can totally relate to you, we too have a 23 year old daughter who we believe has "settled" and is similarly immature in dating and relationships, yet has chosen to align herself with someone we would never have her even be associated with. I get it. It's tough stuff! We are in a season of...

    Advice

    It sounds like flirting for you is a way to gain attention that you crave, in essence, feeding your carnal "man" when what you really might be seeking is a closer relationship with Jesus. I've been dwelling on this scripture for a couple of weeks now, Matthew 6:33 "But seek first the kingdom of...

    I have questions and need advise, please

    You may not ever know the "why" of it all. Start your day handing over the entirety of each sales approach, each activity, every word that comes out of your mouth, may it all be for His glory. Lay down all your efforts and allow God to order your steps and lead you in the way you should go. I...

    First of all, it's never to late to "train up a child", it's just that training takes on a different role kind of like sharing with a friend your excitement of your newfound beliefs. We too have a 21 yo daughter, at this stage they are looking for a real relationship, in every relationship in...

    Prayer Request Our adult daughter....

    Awe Mom, I feel your heart and pain. I know it's hard to take in when you were blindsided with new information while trying to celebrate your grandson's baptism. I think there's a kind of mourning that occurs when our kids make decisions that we feel are out of order and could potentially cause...

    God's will?

    OP, it really comes down to making a decision to trust and obey God. Do you trust Him? He LOVES you more than you can fathom. He knew you in your mother's womb, He has a plan for you, it is good and right. We don't know His ways because they are so much higher than our ways, so do you trust Him...

I try to remember that, I am only human, He made me, I'm flawed on my own, but when God looks at me, through the veil of Jesus Christ, who redeemed me of my sins by taking them upon himself and who also sits at the right throne of God the...

    Trying to find Jesus/God

    Welcome to the forum! The most awesome part about the Christian life is realizing Jesus paid it ALL for my sins to be covered and He gave it to me, a sinner born into sin by birth, as a free gift that He graced me when I recognize my sinfulness and acknowledge Him as my only source of salvation...

    Having Jesus in your life is only a breath away in saying the name of "Jesus" when you need help. He's the friend that sticks closer than a brother. Perhaps committing each and every thought and struggle you face might be a good starting action. God created you, you don't surprise him with who...
