    Uncertainty around deliberate sin

    I have posted about something similar to this before, but just feel really drawn to seek advice around this so thought I would just share. I am a bit confused as to how to feel about something... Last Friday I went to bed later than I knew I should have at the time. I could have set my alarm...

    Fasting

    Hi, at times I feel urges to fast (food), for something I pray for each day. I am underweight however, although not significantly so. It would be useful to hear if anyone has any thoughts around whether to do so or not. Thanks so much.

    Evidence for hell

    Hi, The topic of hell came up at a meal time with my family a while back. My Dad being on the fence when it comes to Christianity, challenged me to see whether I could find anything online about there being evidence for hell and to send him what I found. I have only recently got round to...

    Does God still forgive when we know we would intentionally repeat the sin again?

    Hi, There are times when I don't want to do something, feeling it may be a sin, but I intentionally go ahead anyway as it feels too hard not to. Then although afterwards I confess what I have done to God, I feel if I was in the same position again, I probably wouldn't act differently. Today...

    Terminal illness - praying for salvation

    Hi, thank you so much for your advice. I really appreciate it. It is difficult yes. Although I am understandably concerned for her health and comfort, her salvation has been in my mind a lot. Sorry to ask, but when you suggest being honest and forthright, were you also meaning in the sense of...

    Terminal illness - praying for salvation

    Hi, Thank you for your advice. I ended up asking the volunteer over text if she would be happy to give her a card from myself, so I could perhaps offer her even just a small amount of comfort. She responded saying she (her ex's Mum) lives very far away. I offered to pop on a stamp if she would...

    Terminal illness - praying for salvation

    Ok thank you, that's really encouraging. Although sorry, when you say about mostly focusing on that when praying, do you mean focusing on praying around this rather than saying/doing anything so much, sending a letter for instance? Or just when praying, focusing on this? I hope that makes sense!

    Terminal illness

    Hi Rachel, that is a nice idea. Although as I am Deputy Manager to the Volunteer, I am unsure whether doing this could be viewed to the Volunteer as overstepping boundaries professionally, if she were to hear about or read my wording in the card, communicating my beliefs to the women. But...

    Terminal illness

    Hi all, a volunteer where I work told me this week that their ex partner's Mum, her children's Nan, has quite unexpectedly just been diagnosed with an illness and is, incredibly sadly, expected to live for around just one more week. Prayer around this would be really appreciated - that she will...

    Terminal illness - praying for salvation

    Hi, thank you for this :) I appreciate it. That sounds the perfect thing to say. I admire you for working in a field where it is common for you to work with people who receive bad news like this. As I am not in touch with the women, I can't really have a similar conversation with her myself...

    Terminal illness - praying for salvation

    Concern for having shared my beliefs incorrectly

    Hi, Thank you so much for your advice and encouragement. That's a really good idea yes. Although now I have said what I said, I feel I owe it to her, and God, in a way, to correct what I said and be honest with her, since I essentially lied in my beliefs and understandably want her to know...

    Concern for having shared my beliefs incorrectly

    Hi both, Thanks so much for your advice and encouragement. All you both say is so useful, thank you. Watching others evangelizing on YouTube is a really good idea yes. The experience you wrote about is wonderful Bella. I like the idea of God's will filling us with peace, rather than unease...

    Concern for having shared my beliefs incorrectly

    Thanks so much for the advice. The idea of letting it go feels more comfortable. I just feel guilty and concerned for her that I essentially lied in my beliefs. I feel I owe it to her, and God, in a way to bring it up with her again to correct what I had said since I essentially lied so want her...
