    The End Times has finally come

    Am a simple minded gal with a simple faith but I do think the most important thing is to preach Christ crucified as often as we can. I always tell people "I don't have the answers but I know the one who does!". Because no one is guaranteed tommorow. The unbeliever could die at any time so it...

    The End Times has finally come

    I do think the end must be close as the birth pangs have got so intense in the past two decades even. It seems that the time of Jacobs Trouble may even be round the corner. I used to be a bit sceptical when some believers said they reckoned Jesus would return in our lifetime but I no longer...

    When you have to suppress yourself to be friends

    I can relate to this, as i tend to be the same. Hate saying no and sometimes stay in friendships because they want me to be their friend. It doesn't sound like you are getting much out of their friendship though. They don't seem all that interested in you so I wouldn't feel too bad for letting...

    what is it like to be priveliged?

    Ah, ok. I have a rich family member and I see them as much a human being as anyone else. Like skin colour or culture, being rich or poor is only a part of someone's identity . It may shape them but it doesn't define them! Jesus looks at the heart motives not the outside trappings

Speed dating and dating strangers seems to be for those who...
