Please pray for a resolution to this conflict with my wife. The physical violence has begun again this evening.

Donald Trump according to the polls has considerable evangelical support. Although he is is incredibly foul mouthed and narcissistic this does not surprise me. Many evangelicals in the US adhere to a cultural conservatism which is not very different from many secular conservatives. However he...

Thank you for your prayers, After some improvement my wife is again in crisis. We have had conflict. She has become weak. I am under pressure from work because of the time I am taking off. Her therapist no longer wants to see her because she feels she needs a higher level of care.She is...

Thank you for your prayers. However the situation seems impervious to prayer. My wife is not on Medicare as I wish matters were that simple. If I cannot work she loses her health insurance. She is 54 and has hardly worked so cannot qualify for Disability or Medicare. Even if I were to retire the...

Many Russian Pentecostals settled in my home town in Upstate New York in the 1980's and perhaps somewhat earlier escaping religious persecution in the Soviet Union. After the collapse fn the Soviet Union there were a series of articles in our local paper about the local Russian Pentecostal...

Linda is experiencing some head pain but also stomach and back pain. Please pray for the relief of pain and recuperative sleep without nightmares.

Please continue to pray. I am missing a lot of time at work. I am not easily able to do this without consequences. My wife continues to have pain in her throat and stomach, is not taking in sufficient calories, taking laxatives and enemas to alleviate the pain. She has difficulty sleeping when...

Matters are very chaotic here and I am taking off more time from work. I need wisdom to know whether to go to work despite the fact that my wants me to stay home and take care of her. Income and health benefits are dependent on my job.There is a lot of conflict. Please pray.

My wife has gastrointestinal, problems and cannot sleep unless I am inside the house. This is creating havoc with my job. I am not able to retire because I cannot afford her health insurance, which I would have to pay for, because of her many medical needs. I have difficulty walking but I am...

I think the politics of white evangelicals in the US lacks sensitivity when it comes to economic issues. For example health care should be provided by the government and available to all. (Christians have neither the resources or will to adequately assist with this problem by means of charitable...

Please pray for this situation. I have prepared retirement paperwork which I will need to get notarized. I am considering a retirement date of 6/30/16. I am doing this hastily with no planning and at this point without my wife's awareness. She has poor health and will lose her health insurance...

Please pray. I cannot give a complete account. My wife is alternately to weak to get up to go to the bathroom and suddenly lunges at me to strike me with a metal walker, throws chairs, threw a $250.00 radio down the stairs. This has been going on for hours. I am unable to work due to the...

I would like to recommend 4 books. Acts Today, Signs and Wonders of the Holy Spirit by Ralph Harris provides many verified accounts of healings, Xenoglossolalia, divine provision and other supernatural occurrences. Also God's Generals by Roberts Liardon includes the biographies of Smith...

Syriza's capitualtion to its creditors was perhaps pragmatic as total default would have caused severe suffering for the Greek people especially its most vulnerable. Alexis Tsirpas's gamble to win a better deal failed as was probably predictable since Germany held the cards in any arrangement...
