H

GRACE WRITES: A good friend of mine recently told me that he struggles with an attraction to other males, and I really don’t know what to do with that information, how to treat him, or how to walk with him through all of it.

Any suggestions for starting a Bible study?

Does Jesus Like Me?

D

Have you ever believed a lie? Maybe when you were young your older siblings told you that the moon was made of blue cheese and you had no reason to disbelieve them, right? Or maybe they said a nickel was worth more than a dime, since it was bigger. Doesn’t that make sense? Just like we believed those silly lies until a sensible adult, most likely our parents, came to the rescue, we also believe...

What If I’m Just… Normal?

W

I wanted to do big things. I was the 8-year-old enthralled by missionary stories, the teen excited about “doing hard things.” I dreamed and planned and prepared. God surely had awesome plans for my future. Funny, but the future doesn’t look like I expected. Two years out of college, I tutor and own a small music studio. I watch my friends follow God’s calling: to be a missionary, to marry a man...

How do you know you’ve been forgiven? How do you forgive?

H

DAVID WRITES: Several times Jesus said that if we do not forgive our brothers, God will not forgive us. The thought of God not forgiving me is probably the single most frightening thing I can imagine. How can you be sure when you’ve forgiven someone for the wrong they’ve committed? And in turn, how can you be sure that God has forgiven you? Share Your Thoughts in the Comment Section...
