In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Hello I just signed up today. I am a 15 yr. old Christian and was raised in a Christian home. I found christianforums.com through a search in Yahoo. I have a question and will take anything that you can suggest.

My question is on how I can help my mom. Ok here goes. My mom is having a lot of questions and disbeliefs about God. Her mom is pretty ill and all of her family is on the other side of the county. So she is feelling lonely. Also, to make everything worse she is divorced. My brother and I go back and forth between houses equally so are away from hew at times. She feels like no one loves her, I guess. I try to help her. Last month was her birthday and so I had a surprise birthday party for her and had about 15 of her friends show up. It went really great and she had a good time. I just dont know what I can do to help her. :confused: She is going through hard time. I wish I could help. ANY advice spiritually or otherwise would be apreciated.

            Thanks for you help

Umm, you could try to talk to her with the Scriptures and tell her how/what God has done in your life. If she has any refutations, you can come here to post the questions you have difficulty answering and see if any of the members can help out. Cover her in prayer and maybe if its possible, try to get the rest of her family to move in with her or vice versa. :)

welcome!
i'm sorry to hear about that.
well...share the Gospel with her. just be there for her, encourage her, and just be a witness by your actions. i know from experience that when you are lonely...no amount of friends around you will help. maybe only temporarily...
but also pray for her, and don't worry about it.
hope everything works out!:)

[move]Welcome to the Christian Forums! :)[/move]

They are right, the bible is the place to go. Prayer and sripture will the best tools for fixing this problem. Does your mom go to church? If so, contact the pastor and try to get some help from him. Even if she doesn't you can try. I'll be praying for her :pray:

Hi aaron! Welcome to CF! You are very sweet to be so concerned about your mother. She is very lucky to have you. You have received some great advice here and I hope it will help you in dealing with this situation.

I hope you enjoy your time here on the fourms!

I went through the very same exact thing in my youth with my mother. Praise GOD, now she is a powerful christian blessed with the gifts of the holy ghost.

I prayed, fasted and prayed some more. Everytime, I tried to convince her that Jesus loved her, I failed. When I guit getting into GOD's way, he prevailed with the answer's that only he could give her. Have faith and praise GOD for the things already headed her way. Step back and let GOD handle it. He uses you as a witness to his greatness. That is how to show her. She is watching. She will see.

Man, GOD is Great!
