I wish I was older than I am. It is going to get very tough here and finally the general population will have something more vital to worry about instead of which bathroom a person can use. They will thankful if they have indoor plumbing. God is definitely judging the nation. That is why Biden...

I couldn't have said it any better. Your words here reflect my idea of the life of a Christian I think exactly. There actually is a middle ground between the lawlessness which typically goes along with the idea of once saved always saved and the shallowness which holiness is regarded in the idea...

That is one of my favorite verses too. D.H. Hill wrote that verse to his wife once in a letter; he had such a tragic life (lost four of his nine children amongst other things). It sure may feel as though God is killing us, but we must trust him nonetheless and know that no matter how we feel it...

Would you be able to make up somewhere else you are going? I can try to help you think of something. People meet other people online all the time. You can say you are going to meet a friend for a few hours. You can tell him it's me if he demands proof and I can tell him I live around you. If you...

Like Sabertooth asked, what do you mean by that? Why would you have to excuse yourself to go to a church? It appears that this may be the first step in providing a remedy to your spiritual poverty right now. Attending a worship service physically in the assembly of God's people is a huge way of...

Dear one, I am so sorry and I know there's nothing I can say that will fix your problems. What you have been handed by God seems very unkind indeed and I don't know that I would do any better and probably even worse were it me. It is very easy to think that God hates us. Some of us seem to be...

It is not too much to ask. It is too much to demand and to get angry at God when it doesn't happen. He is God and you are not and you have to trust, like a little child, that he knows what is best for you even if you are 100% sure there is absolutely no way it is possible to your understanding...

Your mistake is in thinking you know what is best for yourself when you don't. I don't say this lightly either. I certainly can't understand why our Heavenly Father took my husband from me unexpectedly at such a young age; it seems entirely cruel of God to do that. And he has not given me much...

He is giving you bread and not a stone. You have to trust that is what it is. My explanation is entirely Biblical. Look at Job. Your life isn't over yet. Also look at the countless other saints who have suffered while still trusting in God. I can't help you if you think you can demand anything...

I'm very sorry if this comes across the wrong way, but you seem to expect that God owes you something in this life. "Where is my credit?" What credit? What have you done that our Heavenly Father has not enabled you to do? Give all glory to God; there is none for yourself. You may want to stop...

I do not know either. I'm afraid you will not receive an answer here and must submit to the Lord's will in this. Why did my husband have to die when countless others have strokes (and he did not even have any health markers which put him at risk for a stroke) and survive? Why did he pass...

[apologize in advance, original message got deleted] I would trust that God is merciful--that he took into account the mental disease of your friend which prevented him from knowing that God did love him and that he with the Lord now in paradise, free not only of his mental illness but also...

We must realize that God is on the throne and we are not. Our prayers are always successful because we are to pray that the Lord's will be done and not our own. God's will is always done. Our will and his often do not match up. Skeptics believe Christianity does not "deliver on it's promises"...

Welcome, Grace. I hope you will find much edification in your time here.

Yes, we are working out our salvation in fear and trembling, knowing it is Christ working in us. It may be that the terms get confused, but let's not get hung up on the terms justification and sanctification. Jesus says that all that the Father has given him he will not lose. So to say that...

It's okay. Not expecting it to happen then. Would be nice. Would be nice if it happens today. I prefer the Biblical stance that no one knows when the Lord is going to return except for our Heavenly Father. I'm not sure why people seem to waste so much time trying to predict when that will be...

I hope you're right! Jesus can't come back soon enough for me. It's just the lost that I'm heart-broken about (many of which includes my family). But man is this world just very wearisome for me. There's a few things I look forward to every now and then, but to be in our eternal home will be...

I was thinking the same! @Learner how did you have so many siblings?

Jason, please take to heart our words here. We know our Lord. He will receive you with open arms should you turn to him in repentance. Please know that the choice is yours--the only way he will send you away from him forever is because you chose to be away from him forever. Please don't choose...

You are right. His word can't be broken. He has provided justice and mercy in the cross of Christ. If God will hold your sin accountable to you and not forgive you, then he is lying when he says, "Come to me all who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest" and "I will in nowise turn...
