I realize it's been a while and there haven't been any new replies to this thread, but I just want to say thanks to you guys who helped me see things more clearly. Amen. I'm not in a position to go to Indonesia in the near future, and I have realized it's much better to be with someone close to...

Those are somewhat unusual views as a Christian. May I ask, which denomination do you belong to and what are some of its core teachings? You sound a bit like a deist.

Scripture makes it clear that we cannot serve two Gods, love of money is hatred of God. However, a question that has always troubled me, and has even led to very severe faith crises, is WHY has God allowed establishment and continuity of the monetary system as a thing that makes up such an...

Buddhism in Thailand is, well..... more deeply rooted in society than Buddhism is in China, but it's often mixed with lots of folk beliefs about spirits and other things.

Well let's not hope it will be at the other place. Perhaps I should seek God's wisdom to give me righteousness and cast away my fears, so I can live day to day and trust that God will give me and my loved ones (if they are saved) greater things we have never thought about. Amen.

I used to be sort of into K-Pop, and being a guy, it should not be surprising to you that I was into girl groups. Right now I still listen to some K-Pop songs from time to time, such as "I" by Taeyeon of SNSD. Really nice song and really nice video. However, I am keenly aware of the fact that...

I would like to add a bit of my own insight. I was brought to faith by a brother who did not serve in the army, but had served in the Air Force (USAF) in the role of a soldier who guards airfields (forgot the name) and he went on a tour of duty in Iraq. Last time I heard from my brother...

Authentic, 'pure' forms of Buddhism do not believe in God, and do not look to God as an explanation for the existence of things because it is not of concern. However, Buddhism as practiced in many parts of Asia is polytheistic / pantheistic filled with deities, ghosts, spirits etc. As you...

I definitely agree that some of the mid-tier ships are more fun than the high tier ships. Sure at high tier you get some undoubtedly very potent ships like the Yamato, Des Moines, Worcester, Khabarovsk (Tier 10 Russian destroyer, blueprint design) etc. but the game play changes so much compared...

Brothers and sisters, I run the risk of being disciplined in the fact that I might be idolizing man, a human being, but it is this exact passage that sometimes gives me a crisis of faith that can severely affect my mood. To be perfectly honest, it is of great pain to me knowing that I will not...

Without Christ, there is darkness. With Christ, things will not be easier, but even in hard times we will have saving grace and an almighty God that we were without before.

Prayer and blessings to you brother, though I do not know you personally. I pray God will find a way to help you through these times and on to better days, just as He will for myself. AMEN.

Hi all, I would like to share with you a story that I believe could be material for some discussion. I am a Christian who's of an ethnically Chinese background, being born and having spent the first five-and-a-half years of my life in Chongqing. I've lived perhaps 55% of my life in the West and...

Brother, I feel you because I have been through some of it myself. Though I've never used drugs of any kind even before I believed, I did struggle with inappropriate contentography in the past and even now I do struggle at a moderate level with a foot / shoe fetish. It's especially hard for a male in his...

The Law I believe refers to God's Commandments given to the Hebrews on top of Mt. Sinai, as well as much of the content in the Old Testament such as Deuteronomy, Leviticus etc. Due to the impossibility of humans to fulfill the Law by our own mortal strength, God came and fulfilled it for us. I...

Christians are no longer under the Law, but under Grace because Christ, as God in flesh, fulfilled the Law when He walked the earth.

I'll list some of my favorite here: 1. Jo Hisaishi-Asian Dream Song, Shape of Life, etc. 2. Attack on Titan-Guren no Yomiya, Vogel im Kafig, EMA, Mankind's Counterattack, Eye Water (fave one) 3. Unravel-Tokyo Ghoul OP As for video games I like a lot of tracks from FF and the Ace Combat...

Laura Story-Blessings Carrie Underwood-Jesus Take the Wheel Eminem-Beautiful (yes, there's profanity, but the line 'God gave you shoes, so put 'em on and wear them' should inspire believers who are doubting themselves due to judgment from others and society around them)

I've played it for a while already, my account is on the NA server and my ID is Grand_Viceroy_Zhou_Ziyu. I'm a fan of historical naval vessels, along with generally being a history buff. I'm a slightly above average player with 52.5% overall win rate and I mostly play Tier 6/7 because the...

I hear you, and as a single Christian struggling with sexual urges and temptations, I've been trying very hard to combat the lusts and fetishes I have. I know I won't be able to love my wife with all my heart and soul if there are distractions and deviations from what God intends as the healthy...
