Let me start this by saying I am a Bible-believing Christian. I was raised in the faith and got saved when I was 17. I know my stuff, got it? Anyway, Christians are supposed to have hope, but the problem is, I'm not seeing too much of it right now. I know I live in the first world and therefore...

Let me start off by saying I am a Bible-believing Christian. I got saved ten years ago. I acknowledge that I’m a very blessed person, at least materially. I have money, a house, the basic necessities. I was raised in a loving Christian family and have never been abused. I’ve always been a good...

It's all in the title. If anyone wants to take a shot at me, come get me. I've been raised a Christian. I've been a Christian for 8 years. I could recite the Gospel backwards. And yet I've always had a serious problem with one of the most important doctrines and the one we claim sets us free...

I know I'll expect resistance, given the nasty things I've said before. I know I may be mocked, ridiculed, and sidelined. But I don't care. I have a strong opinion and I want to share it. We've had five shootings in the last five days. Christians, when are we gonna get serious about this beyond...

I'm a Christian. I've been raised a Christian all my life so I of all people should know a ton about God. Problem is, I've been a Christian for 8 years, and no matter what I did and how hard I tried, I've never truly been able to love God. If anything, he terrifies me. I know he loves me, but...

Let me tell you a bit about myself. I am a 25-year-old Christian girl who's never dated, who's never had sex of any kind, has never looked at porn, has virtually no prospects in sight, and is not asexual or homosexual. How does that make you feel toward me? Do you view me with pity or...

Whoever reads this, please pray for me. I'm so tired but I can't sleep. I'm a Christian and I want to love God. I know he loves me. But honestly, sometimes I'm afraid of him, especially when I start getting unwanted thoughts in my head.

Hello everyone. What I'm about to say may sound weird to some people, but I don't care. I'm a Christian, but I live with a lot of fear. I sometimes feel as though I'm afraid of everything, and my faith isn't even a place I can go to for comfort. I was raised in a loving Christian family and...

No, this is not another rant. I'm just discouraged. I'm now writing what could be my debut novel. I would like to get some feedback so I can make the book worthy of publication, so I'm posting my rough drafts of the chapters. Problem is I've written and posted 5 chapters, and posted them on...

I'm blessed in a lot of ways, but I have my fair share of struggles. My Aspergers being one thing. Another is my melancholy personality and how easily I can become depressed. One more is my sense of loneliness and isolation. What I mean is I feel isolated from the rest of the world for reasons...

Yeah, I said it. If anyone wants to prove me otherwise, come at me. Rapists are no longer human and do not deserve our sympathy or even salvation. Yes. I said it. Rapists are monsters deserving of the lowest depths of hell. I hope they fry and I hope they rot. How would you feel if someone...

Let me start this off by saying I have NOT lost my faith in God. But I have lost faith in the institution of the church. I don't care if the church is not perfect. I don't care that it's made up of sinners. I don't care about ANY of that nonsense! We are called to be DIFFERENT, to be BETTER...

I want to sleep but I just can't. I keep thinking of all the ways Christians tend to be even worse than unbelievers. Those thousands of kids, abused by over 300 priests… And all of it was covered up… I don't want these people to just repent. I want them to BEG and PLEAD to both God and their...

This thread has nothing to do with any of my previous posts. This is just something that's been on my mind lately. The idea of a "personal relationship" with God may be popular. But just because something is popular doesn't mean it's biblical. For one thing, the idea itself never appears in the...

Let me start this off by saying I have never been abused in my life. Both my parents are godly loving people, and they did not teach me the things I'm about to say. I simply came to this conclusion on my own. I still have a desire to marry, but the more I learn about how hard it is, the more...

This is for every Christian who wants to read this. It’s time for us to stop our smug, arrogant, patronizing view of the world. I no longer call myself a Christian not because I’m ashamed of Christ but because I’m ashamed and even disgusted by the actions of those who supposedly believe in the...

I'm not gonna be debating God and his role in the evil of this world or whatever. What I am going to say is something that needs to be said. We've had yet another school shooting yesterday morning in Texas. We've had yet another wicked, truly evil person walk in freely and murder eight...

I am not embarrassed to call myself a Christian because I'm ashamed of Christ. I'm embarrassed to call myself a Christian because I supposedly have the same faith as the people who insist that we be doormats. Given the recent mass shootings we've been dealing with in the last few years, we as...

I was thinking and I kind of had a revelation. I think another reason why things like abuse and rape make me so angry, other than concern the people it happens to, is because I feel like I would lose my faith if that happened to me. I often feel guilty for all the blessings I have, knowing...

I don't even know where to begin, but I need to say this. There is a huge moral and ethical scandal going on in American churches, and that involves sex abuse. And it's been going on for FAR too long. To everyone reading this post, this needs to be said right now, to everyone. I don't care what...
