Married 25 years. My ex from high school and I have kept in touch over years occasionally. Phone or email. We lived in same neighborhood so families were friends. To be honest, he was my first true love. So, my dad age 86 just passed away and my ex, who loved my dad, found out 2 months later. He...

So last week we were not at church Sunday because my 86 yr old father had emergency surgery late Saturday night and we were at the hospital all day Sunday and Monday -- but we did get a message from our pastor (the one who asked us the prior week what were we doing for Jesus) - which is a...

We've been going to a new small Christian church for about two months now. Week 1 the pastor invited us to a weekly small group bible study he hosts at his home for couples on Friday nights at 7 - including a meal in which everyone brings a dish based on the theme. My husband and I opted out...

We had a 2 hour church service today with a visiting "missions" pastor who basically gave a salesman type of service for 2 hours on funding their ministry to train new pastors to go out and serve in India and several other countries. He went on and on about it costing $3,000 to train a pastor...

My husband is under a lot of stress at work right now. His boss got fired 4 weeks ago, and my husband is having to do his job and his fired bosses job without any training or help. He's very stressed. Since this has happened, he has been going in work early around 6 in the morning and working...

Hi, I've been told that I am pre-diabetic by my Dr. No one in my family has ever had diabetes, but a few months ago, moms Dr. told her she was diabetic and put her on a low dose of metformin (sp?) ... her A1C was 6.2. My morning blood sugar is always around 135 - 145. The moment I eat yogurt...

Well, Christmas at my parents was a flop. The "favorite" family (my sisters) went to see her in-laws at noon, so they didn't get back to my parents until 3. I went to my parents with my husband and son at 12 noon so that we could see my middle 27 yr old son (who had to work at 3:00 that day)...

What is the significance of the decorated Christmas tree and hanging stockings from the chimney from a Christianity basis? How are they related to the birth of Jesus Christ which is what the day signifies?

Our pastor told our congregation yesterday that he is stepping down from being a senior pastor effective January 4th. He got a job in the corporate world after being a pastor in his own ministry for 31 years. He started the ministry of this church on his own, started in a school building, years...

Hi, I have never been one to say a blessing before eating a meal, other than on special occasions with family and friends, but in my deeper walk with the Lord, I feel more inclined to ask a blessing before eating. Because I've never done this, it feels a bit awkward and I really dont know what...

I have a question (fairly new at studying the depths of Christianity and Bible) and I understand that we as Christians believe that only by accepting Christ can an individual be saved. Does this mean that the overwhelming majority of Jews, God's chosen people, will not be saved? Also, I don't...

I've been terribly upset the last few days and harboring a lot of feelings of hurt, resentment, anger, bitterness, jealousy and the list goes on and on. These are not good Christian or human traits, I know, and I am really working on letting go of those feelings today. To make a long story...

Let's all just stop and say a prayer for our world, especially those in Paris right now who are feeling so much hurt, pain and grief. Let the gospel grow and flourish again in Paris, Lord. May the messengers of "Serve God & kill" be overcome by the ONE who served God & died. Praying for Paris.

Over 1 year ago, my husband and I decided to go through the Dave Ramsey Financial Peace program. We've managed to pay off over $50,000 worth of debt (most of it student loans for my kids college), and some credit cards. We are on our last debt (which is always the largest debt) and coming up...

Hi my wonderful friends! I know that God has been working on my heart because for the last 2 weeks, all I can think about is being re-baptized (by full immersion) in my Christian church. I was baptized as a baby Catholic. I thought 100% that I was completely saved after giving my heart, mind...

My husband and I are Christians and we belong to a great church. Right now, we are giving financially what we can to the church, and we participate in all the activities and volunteer opportunities the church, as well as traveling overseas on missions trips to help up in every single way we can...

God must be working hard on me and my husband both. Trial after trial! After our big blow out yesterday, God handed my husband a crisis of his own when he arrived at work this morning. A major crisis. His boss was fired from the company, husband was made 2nd in command (behind the owner of...

It really is a sad thing when couples just can't get their act together. Maybe it's not meant to be that way. Maybe living love in paradise is just something you see in movies and read about in books. One strong disagreement well over a week ago took an ENTIRE week to settle down. Things were...

Confronted husband in a gentle conversation about the lady from Honduras mission trip who is consistently sending him facebook messages once she started asking him personal questions about me. I told him that I felt that lines were being crossed now, and that because she flat came out and asked...

Trying to make a long story short, but husband went on his first mission trip with our church to Honduras. Here, the Lord spoke deeply to him, and he was baptized the day he returned. There, he met a family of 4 children who got very attached to him daily as the team worked on the school...
