    Does God want me to be single by not sending any men with whom I can connect?

    Looking back, I realize that I discounted some good men. But at the time, I did not have feelings for them. I wanted to have feelings for them, but the feelings weren't there. I even cried one time because this one guy was great but I just couldn't like him. I am not gay--I have had crushes...

    In This Hope

    Romans 8:24-25 ESV For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience. God’s plan of salvation for us is that we should die with Christ to sin and live with him to righteousness...

    For Many Are Called, But Few Are Chosen

    “The first man Adam became a living being;” the last Adam a life-giving spirit. The spiritual, however, was not first, but the natural, and then the spiritual. The first man was of the dust of the earth, the second man from heaven. As was the earthly man, so also are those who are of the earth...

    Part 1 - In The Beginning: God's Perfect Creation

    In one's attempt to understand God's plan for mankind's salvation it is important to start at the very beginning of time. Time is a relative term, especially when it comes to understanding the need for God, the creator of all things, to create a plan designed to rescue us from eternal damnation...

    Can I ruin God’s plan for my life?

    Is it possible to destroy God’s plans for your life? If we make a mistake that causes us to unknowingly go against God’s plan for our lives will He really redirect us? I am a new Christian and my biggest fear is this. God revealed something about my future to me. I have faith it was Him...

    Step Eleven – Your Place In The Body Of Christ

    A disdain for organized religion has many Christians struggling to work out their faith in isolation. This is a bad idea and not what God wants. Believers are all part of the body of Christ and need to be working together to each do their part. If you are not interacting with other believers...

    Step Nine – Life Is Suffering

    There is a myth that Christians should have perfect lives and if they don’t, then they must not truly be connected to God. The truth is, God wants our lives to be challenging so that we can grow in strength and wisdom. There is no substitute for hard work and there is no hard work if you are...

    Step Four - I Need God

    It is obvious that we need God in our walk with Jesus. In this step, my goal was to outline specific reasons for needing God. I think God wants our desire for a relationship with Him to be focused. If we know exactly what it is we’re seeking from God, it is far more likely we will be able to...

    Good day all! As some of you who see this may know, I am still new to Christianity and still have a lot of questions so please bear with me. But before I began to accept God and Christ more and more into my life, I was dead set on becoming an officer in the Canadian Armed Forces. More...

    What is the Point of Prayer?

    A little story before getting to the meat of my question. I've been taking care of my grandmother for the past several years. This is because as time has gone by, her dementia as steadily gotten worse to the point that she rarely, if ever, recognizes she's at home. One thing she does...
