R. WRITES: When I think about my most precious possessions, they’re not the most expensive ones. They are things that are invaluable to me but no one else, a handful of books or pictures connected to memories or individuals. What are some of your most precious possessions that are worthless to others? Why are they so special to you? Share Your Thoughts in the Comment Section! There are...
ANONYMOUS WRITES: In the past few months, I’ve been battling with regular sin in my life. It feels like Satan’s attacks and my own wrongful desires are on overdrive. I’m praying, reading the Bible, and have even told my father about it. I would love to start an accountability group, but it’s difficult because I can’t drive yet. For some reason, even though I’m really trying to focus on Christ and...
ANONYMOUS WRITES: Should Christians watch Thor, Superman, or any other superhero movie? I particularly mentioned Thor and Superman because of the spiritual references normally applied to them. Thor is a character derived from pagan Norse mythology and he is often called a demi-god, god, or the god of the thunder (although, often in his movies the claim that he is a god is refuted). I mention...
R. WRITES: There are so many amazing people from the past. There are presidents, writers, actors, activists, abolitionists, artists, chefs, preachers, missionaries, musicians, ancestors, professors. There are godly, gifted, creative, compelling, capable, winsome, beautiful, fascinating individuals. History is jammed full of them. If you were able to meet one person (who is not Jesus) face-to-face...
ANGELA WRITES: I have a longtime friend who is a Christian, but recently told me she’s a psychic. She claims that she sometimes blacks out and sees things that end up happening a short time later, and that it’s not her fault because she “suddenly and randomly goes into a trance.” She says she doesn’t like it or try to do it. I’m just not sure how to react. I...
LIANA WRITES: Our family was hurt pretty deeply by our former church and I have been rejected multiple times for reasons I don’t know by people I trusted in various churches. This has made me very hesitant about getting involved with my church and I struggle with pretty deep bitterness towards churches in general. It can’t continue like this, since my dad is a pastor. I would...
R. WRITES: I wouldn’t say that I have a weak faith, but I do want to make it stronger. There have been days I had doubts about whether I was really saved and days where I’ve been overwhelmingly discouraged by sin. How do I bolster my faith? I know spending time in God’s Word and prayer are key, but what else can I do? Share Your Thoughts in the Comment Section! There are...
ANONYMOUS WRITES: How do you keep natural God-given desires for a romantic relationship someone of the opposite sex at a healthy level? How do you keep from entering the lustful and impatient stage? I know God gave us those desires. I know having feelings for someone is natural and isn’t a sin in and of itself, but I’m not keeping it at the healthy level anymore. I’m old enough to be in a...
ROSE WRITES: There are lots of sins I struggle with daily, sins like ingratitude or self-righteousness. I know I’m not alone. As Christians young people, we may not be out there killing people or doing some crazy big sins, but we all wrestle with little, equally shameful sins. I’m asking you to be transparent and help me here. How do we fight these small, daily sins? Share Your Thoughts in the...
R. WRITES: This past week my youth pastor was unfairly fired and mistreated. How should I be responding? The youth group is only an after thought in all of this, and I’m confused about what to do and how to feel. This is the fourth youth pastor in four years. Is it wrong if I want to go find a new church/youth group? Share Your Thoughts in the Comment Section! There are currently 7 Comment(s)...
