I am lucky at work at a Christian organization where everyone is very friendly and these kinds of advances are unheard of. But I will not lie; because I feel there is a sibling relationship missing in my life since I was very young, when some coworkers come up to me - I sometimes wish we were...

It's good that people are discussing this post and thinking through the subject even if ultimately I am proven wrong; I would just add that something else to notice in Ephesians 5 is Paul's insistence, that the woman submit to her "own" husband as apparently a problem in the Ephesian church was...

I get this by a clear reading of the text: 22Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 23For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. 24Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the...

With all love and respect, I disagree with the conclusions made in this original post. The original post does have it right on that men and women are very different persons in terms of their emotional characteristics, but that does not automatically equate to mean that a woman should submit...

UPDATE: I wanted to update people on this. I confessed the entirety of my struggles to my wife, difficult as it was. I totally and completely agree that she is my best friend, now my accountability partner and confidant. I am going through the Steps to Freedom in Christ with Neil...

OneFaith - I think you are an extremely godly person wanting to serve others. I understand some will question your motives, your techniques, your desires. But if it is something you enjoy doing, I would only say to temper your ministry somewhat so you don't get burnout or feel resentful later...

Hello, this might be a slightly odd request for friends. Please allow me to explain. About all last week, the left side of my mouth was *killing* me, a throbbing pain which I've never really experienced before. My guess was sinus allergies, it just wouldn't stop and sometimes massages and...
