    Need Help/Advice: Help Me Figure This Out

    I can't figure out how to make this anonymous... I am an Eastern Orthodox who has worked tirelessly to mend the division between east and west, but every now and then, I go through these waves of wishing that I was myself Catholic, rather than being [as the Romans would consider] an outsider...

    A Plea and Praise to the Lord

    My soul doth long for the Lord without ceasing; yea, in the depths of my sin and wandering did my spirit cry out for Him, that I might be restored unto His mercy. My heart knoweth no greater desire than to fall upon my knees before Him, to hear Him speak unto me, “Thou art Mine, thou art...

    My Thoughts

    To the child of God, every tear is seen and gathered by the Lord, bearing a purpose both holy and tender in His sight. Yet to those who are not His own, tears are but fleeting shadows of pain, void of hope, unless lifted to Him in humble surrender.

    Bad dreams

    I sometimes have these dreams where there is a bad presence around me and I need to rebuke it in Jesus’s name. It’s not sleep paralysis but a dream. I actually start to say “I rebuke you in the name of Jesus Christ” but I can’t speak at all, especially when I get to Jesus. This happens a bunch...

    I'm going through a very difficult time in my life right now. I'm trying my best, though. I practice an abundance of self-care skills, activities, and things that otherwise bring me joy.

    Designing a weapon to defend myself and family

    Hello people, This question might sound weird and quite inappropriate for a Christian, though I can't really call myself a Christian as I recently realized I most likely never truly repented. I currently try to fix this, but eh, not really the topic here, or maybe it is. I hope this question is...

    Zechariah, a complex book to understand

    Hello folks. It seems that Zechariah is a complicated book to dissect and analyze. How do I go about doing this? The book uses a lot of metaphors, and deep historical/prophecies which are difficult to apply to daily life or summarize in a convenient format. I am hoping to analyze Zechariah...

    “On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being locked where the disciples were for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, ‘Peace be with you.’ When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when...
