    Prayer for God's Will in Marriage

    Hi, I kindly request prayer for God's will about marriage partner. I know God has a faithful and wonderful man for me, but it's been many years and I feel a bit sad lately. Some months ago I encountered a man on SoMe that has been encouraging me and sort of like my biggest cheerleader. I was...

    my south Indian Bible believing (Pentecostal) parents (father is a pastor) are forcing me to get married, they say the choice is yours but as many women aren't liking your profile (as I have receding hairline), if something comes up I can't say NO outright.

    Mismatched!

    2 Corinthians 6:14-18; 7:1 ESV “Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?

    Polygamy...Was Never God's Plan

    All you have to do is read the Bible story of Abraham or Jacob and see the misery that having MULTIPLE WIVES brings into a home, to KNOW that POLYGAMY was never God's plan. It brings no more happiness today than it did back then. As Christians, if we want God's blessing on our family, we need...

    Does the Bible ever really allow divorce?

    I think Moses says it is allowable but Jesus later sort of said that it was not supposed to be. So it seems that even with an abusive spouse you have to stick it out? Now I'm just going to ramble but please focus on the above question! I personally consider my wife abusive (and I admit it...

    Darling, Where are You?

    Many of us have loved ones we care about who are professing faith in Jesus Christ but who are not living what they profess. We are concerned for them for we can see the damage they are doing to their lives, and we know that there is a better life for them if they will repent of their sins and...

    Let Marriage be Held in Honor

    The Marriage Bed Undefiled Hebrews 13:4 ESV “Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous.” Sadly, this is not generally the case in today’s world even among those professing faith in Jesus Christ. Many...

    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...
