Thank you for your reply!

Thank you a million to all who replied. I will certainly consider all that was said.

Hi all, I’m really big on God using the people around you to speak to you. And what better way to reach a man but through his wife? However, I believe I am called to be a pastor and my wife does not. She says that I’m not warm to the crowd and I “clam up” in front of an audience. She is...

I’m going to go with no. First, please allow me to say this: it’s not that Satan had to win over unbelievers because they were already born into his kingdom (see Ephesians 2:1-3). However, he likely intends on keeping them as citizens of his kingdom so he will continue to steal, kill, and...

Thank you all for your wonderful replies and suggestions! I have concluded that it is wrong to work on my personal studies during work time but as someone noted there are scheduled breaks in my day. Also, if there are times that I can combine my studies with our group activities then I think...

Hey all! I accepted a new job back in June and it is a much slower pace than my last job. While it’s only a slight pay increase, it’s generally easier money to earn. Whenever I have a little bit of down time I often read material that is related to my work to increase my knowledge and not waste...

Thank you for all of your replies!

Hi all! I am employed with a rather big drug and alcohol treatment organization that largely focuses on medication assisted treatment such as methodone, suboxone, and librium (or perhaps a vivitrol shot). I joined the organization two years ago as an ambitious Christian with a 12-step...

Your feedback is very valuable, Turkle, thank you!

That’s a good suggestion!

o.k. thank you for your reply!

Hi all! I work for a secular drug and alcohol treatment facility with about 50 male clients. Recently, based on a discussion I had with a regional manager, I was presented with an opportunity to lead Bible studies with our addicted clients. The manager said that faith is very important to...

Yes. That prayer helps. Thank you for telling me about it.

Hi all! I work in addiction and recovery at a rehab/detox (inpatient). And while I work at a secular facility, I often have small sidebar conversations with my clients about spirituality. Most of my clients have very serious addictions, often using an I.V. to shoot up fentanyl and/or heroin...

Um...well...yes. You have an evil side and you probably genuinely want to sleep with him. But it may not be 100% evil: God created us as sexual beings. Although since they're unwanted thoughts and since he is your friend and not your husband, then it's sin. Typically, especially with women...

Hi all! I'm struggling between becoming a biblical counselor and a pastor of a church. I tend to lean more toward biblical counseling but I need to be sure. Can you give me some advice? I know and understand that the advice you give me is to be weighed with Scripture and I need to discuss...

Hi Coffee! Just remember that this battle is one day at a time. I can understand why you went on facebook because when we first starve ourselves from inappropriate content we tend to search everywhere for our drug of choice. Even if we can find a cheap imitation of it, we'll take it. I am three and a half...

Hey man, I know I'm a year late on this but I hope you get it! I am 40 and I am recently married. I spent most of my life addicted to inappropriate content and masturbation (in addition to years of substance abuse, depression, and anxiety). When I was engaged, I told my wife EVERYTHING. To be honest, I don't...

I agree with the Romans 8 guy even though you thought it might be boring to go to a youth group. In fact, it takes more effort to hang out with a Christian youth group or a campus ministry. In that case, they will likely hold you accountable to living as a Christian. I don't recommend going to...

that's a great point, Com7fy8!
