Hello! I'm not sure where to post this question, but any help would be greatly appreciated :) I am reading my Bible daily. I've been reading mainly in the NT (John, Matthew, Romans, Philippians) and I'm a little over halfway through Psalms right now. I just started on Proverbs. But I never...

James 4:8 Come near to God and he will come near to you.

Isaiah 53:5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.

Live as if the little things make all the difference. Because they do.

Hi finale! It is said that for first time readers, it is best to start on the gospel, like the books of Mark or John. It is also said that it takes 21 days to build a habit, so if you really are determined to read, I suggest John because there are 21 chapters. Before you read, I recommend...

Hey Andrewboy! :) I'm sorry you're going through such a difficult time. I have a lot to learn about Christianity myself, and I don't have too much experience as one either. However, I believe you are a strong Christian. Right now, you just feel weak because of what you are dealing with...

Does anyone know of mental health articles (depression, anxiety, etc.) that also relate to Christianity. Any Christian news websites that you know of that I could find something like that? I've been googling, but haven't really found anything. It's for a psych. paper. Just wondering and...

Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that NOTHING you do for the Lord is EVER USELESS

I don't want to put my trust in others. I just don't know how to trust Him. I've been trying to, but I don't know what I'm doing wrong with it. I just don't get how to lean on Him and stuff. I want to keep Him at the center of my life, which I must say right now He isn't. But I'm working on...
