You are speaking in the past tense (acted, treated). You are a new creation. The old you is dead. Seek God and his righteousness. Whenever thoughts of the past enter your mind, rebuke them. Literally say go away. And if you are concerned about getting close to others, take your time. Let God...

We have all done shameful, disgusting things in God's eyes. All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. You are a new creation. The right person will come along and they will love you for who you are. Seek God and his...

Just a quick observation here. How about we bring the discussion back to what the Bible says about Christian behavior? Not about what people, including Christians, say and/or do. The Bible is our standard of behavior. Our standard is not what other people do. Christian parents are to teach their...

Welcome and God bless!

First of all, a Christian should know and follow the biblical teachings on sexuality. And then they should teach them to the children. Do not act like it is a taboo subject or that abstinence is impossible to achieve. Many people, and especially Christians, throw in the towel on this subject...

I would like to add that this same advice applies to non-virgin Christians who are currently single. The reason fornication is talked about so much is because it is a need we all have and that many believers struggle with, to varying degrees. We need to eat and we have a sex drive. Most people...

I am blessed to be raising my kids. Looking back, it is amazing how God prepared me to do it. I did date one woman for 18 months, about 4 years ago. It was hectic and ended badly. Since then, I have grown so much closer to God and have realized that I need to focus on Him and what He has for me...

I’m divorced and I’m raising my kids. Not exactly by choice but I’m comfortable being single.

Guilty as charged. Single for 12 years (so far).

Is this it? I used DuckDuckGo.com to search for the lyrics. The Celebration Hymnal: songs and hymns for worship 194. We worship and adore You | Hymnary.org God bless!

I have been thinking about your post since I first read it a couple of days ago. Your ex-wife’s behavior was horrible and addictive and it was not personal. First, I pray that you are finding healing. I pray the same for your children. Know that God is there with you during this time and...

Go and look at CarMax. They have hundreds of vehicles that you can test drive and they have a one week full refund policy. Their salesmen are paid per sale, not on the price of the vehicle they sell you. They are motivated to get you into a vehicle that works for you. One that you will keep. I...

I agree that you should not do a factory reset. It could destroy evidence, as Endeavourer said. Go to the police. And doing a factory reset may not remove certain kinds of spyware. The most sophisticated kinds are hard to detect and very hard to remove. That's kind of the point. And be sure to...

Welcome! I also struggle with this and I pray about it. I pray that God would help me to see others as he sees them, and to love them as he does. This helped me realize that I would be exactly like them if it wasn't for his Saving Grace. I have come a long way but still need to grow in this...

What a beautiful testimony! God bless!

Pray for the courage to be truthful about what happened. Whenever I’m concerned about not having something I feel I should have or having something I should not have, I pray. God gives us the strength and wisdom. When we are weak then we are strong.

That is excellent news about the 3 days without alcohol! Keep it up one day at a time. One minute at a time. And feel free to reach out anytime for any reason. As for the nicotine, try to stretch out the time between having it. You will eventually realize that it is not worth the time and...

First, I wanted to say congratulations! You are going to meet her in person! Looking back, was your fear about asking her out justified? As the others have said, go meet up with her and be yourself. As much as you can be. That is always the best course of action. And I'd say that some...

I agree about Celebrate Recovery. I found it very helpful and many others that I know have as well. There's a book called The Addictive Thinking by Abraham Twerski. It is available with a second book called The Addictive Personality by Craig Nakken. That gave me a lot of insight into the cycle...

Lying was mentioned by 98cwitr but I wanted to add that someone who is dishonest in their behavior, business dealings, taxes, etc will be dishonest with you without even thinking about it. Another red flag is somebody who is a gossip. Whether you're considering marrying them or if your're just...
