    Let Justice Roll Down Like Waters

    “I hate, I despise your feasts, and I take no delight in your solemn assemblies. Even though you offer me your burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them; and the peace offerings of your fattened animals, I will not look upon them. Take away from me the noise of your...

    Walking in Integrity Proverbs 19:1-3 ESV “Better is a poor person who walks in his integrity than one who is crooked in speech and is a fool. Desire without knowledge is not good, and whoever makes haste with his feet misses his way. When a man's folly brings his way to ruin, his...

    When Should Loyalty to Our Blood Family Exceed Loyalty to God?

    I ask this because there is so much which transpires within the Christian realm, at church and in the Christian home, which motivates me to ask this question. In the church we see parents and spouses propagating and manipulating circumstances to ensure that their children or spouse, however...

    Afraid I'm Fake

    I guess this is something of a follow-up from my first-ever thread. I received a lot of great advice there, and I'm very thankful for it. I'm still struggling with making God the center of my life. I pray about it all the time. I know I can love God much more than I do now, and I want to. I...

    Dealing with Sexually Immoral non-Christian Friends

    Hello, I'm going to give context to this post so you all can understand my situation more clearly. I am a seventeen-year-old Christian. I've grown up in the church my entire life, but I turned away from God fully around age twelve. The Lord continued to pursue me, though, and after living a very...

    Fully Surrendered

    Jesus Christ, God the Son, left his throne in heaven, came to earth, and was born as a baby from the womb of a young woman named Mary, who was engaged to be married to a man named Joseph. But, back then engagements were a contractual relationship, so they were legally married, only without the...

    The Cure for Lukewarm

    I am currently struggling with Lukewarm interest in nearly every area a Christian can. I am trying various means to overcome, and I have no doubt that I shall.
