    Hello all, I'm new here and I'm not sure where to post this question so I thought this would be the best forum to ask for wisdom. I am 26 and my fiancé is 29. He is a wonderful man and does treat me very well. This is my first relationship by the way. Long story short, my fiancé and I got...

    What's Your Purpose?

    1 Peter 2:21-25 NASB For you have been called for this purpose, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example for you to follow in His steps, who committed no sin, nor was any deceit found in His mouth; and while being reviled, He did not revile in return; while suffering, He...

    See Danger: Take Refuge

    Proverbs 22:3-5 NIV The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and pay the penalty. Humility is the fear of the Lord; its wages are riches and honor and life. In the paths of the wicked are snares and pitfalls, but those who would preserve their life stay far...

    Is Purity Possible?

    Psalm 119:9a NASB How can a young man keep his way pure? How Can We? I live in the USA (America). And, I regularly ask myself this question, “How can a young man keep his way pure?” Only, it is more like, “How can anyone keep his way pure?” Why do I ask this regularly? Because, no matter...

    Perfecter of Faith

    Hebrews 12:1-3 NASB Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith...

    Revive Our Hearts

    If someone asked you to describe yourself, what would you say? What would you say – not about your looks, not about your job, not about your activities, and not about your possessions – but about your character? Who are you deep down inside your soul, especially when no one else is looking...

    what is, and isn't adultry

    the bible isn't very clear about what activities count as adultry. Obviously sex is adultry, and kissing (probably) is not adultry, but what about everything in between? (edit: im not talking about cheating on a significant other, im asking about activities outside of marriage) in order to...

    The Thrill And Beauty Of Purity

    Sex is more than just when you should have it, who you should have it with, and how you (should) prefer it. I tuck my kids away at night and think about how boyish they are. I think about how the bath that night turned brown and mirky within seconds of them getting in, thanks to their grubby...

    Of the Same Kind

    Does everyone who has faith in God have the same kind of faith? Does it matter if we don’t? Do all types of faith lead to the same end result? The Lord Jesus led me to read 2 Peter 1 (Select vv. NASB). Simon Peter, a bond-servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who have received a faith...

    Closer to God

    Do you ever have times in your life when you feel… well, maybe you don’t even know what you feel exactly, or you don’t know how to express it. But, you know you want to go deeper with God. You want more of him in your life, i.e. more of his life being lived out through you. You don’t want to sin...

    What's Our Purpose?

    Life gets hard sometimes, doesn’t it? In this world we will have troubles and hardships. But, this world is not our home. We are just passing through. We don’t belong here. Our home is in heaven with God, if we are his by faith in Jesus Christ. So, that should encourage us, that this is not...
