How do I witness to my friends who don’t attend church?

H

HAILEY WRITES:How can I be a witness to my friends who do not attend church? I try to lead by example and have been able to build many relationships with people, but I’m just never quite sure how to work my faith into conversation.

How should Christians approach video games?

H

JACKSON WRITES:How should Christians approach video games? As an 18-year-old with a Playstation 4, I constantly find myself hooked on it, using most of my spare time playing video games much to the dislike of family and friends.

How can I watch anime in a safe, God-honoring way?

H

KAELYN WRITES:So, I am a Christian, and I enjoy watching anime. If you know anything about anime, you probably know that there are a lot of shows out there that can be pretty inappropriate. Not all, of course, but… A lot to be honest. At the same time there are a lot of really, really cool and fun shows that I’ve enjoyed for a long time. I am a little surprised that I’ve not...

How do I guard my heart with friends of the opposite gender?

H

ANONYMOUS WRITES: I have been blessed with a few friends who are guys. One of whom I’m fairly close to, but not at all romantically. He doesn’t like me in that way either. We’ve become better friends over the past few months, and have shared some edifying, helpful, but spiritually deep conversation. My question is, How much of my feelings and heart is too much to share? I feel...

Should we fight against unjust laws?

S

RYAN WRITES: I’ve been studying what the Bible says about rebellion and I stumbled upon Romans 13:1. “Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God.” (ESV). Paul goes on to elaborate how those who do rebel against the government are therefore rebelling against God and will be...

How do I balance having goals and listening to God’s direction?

H

JASON WRITES: For a while, pretty recently actually, I had plans for how I thought my life was going to go. And I still have hopes and dreams. The problem is that I’m the kind of person who likes to work toward things and have plans for the future. Sometimes that makes me incapable or unwilling to listen to God’s leading for me. Even when I am praying, I can assume that my plans are...

How do I battle anxiety and stay motivated?

H

SELAH WRITES: I am fairly sure I have depression, anxiety and a semi-crippling fear of failure. I’ve been battling with these for a while and it’s getting hard to be motivated to do things such as apply for jobs and practice for my drivers licence. What are some practical ways to battle these and be motivated to live life well, besides seeing a professional? I am planning to do that...

How do I encourage my hurting friend and her family?

H

ANONYMOUS WRITES: How do I encourage a friend whose parents have an unhealthy marriage that is drastically affecting the family? My friend doesn’t feel free to express her hardships with her parents and she fears telling another adult and getting help because of how her parents might react. The stress it’s causing my friend is unbearable. She also has been very close to her brother...

How can you be open without gossiping?

H

O. WRITES: In close friendships, and in family, I value openness and communication, but when a lot of the problems I face have to do with conflicts with other people, how can I balance being open while at the same time not gossiping about these people? Is there a way to do both? Share Your Thoughts in the Comment Section! There are currently 0 Comment(s) Have something else you’d like to...

How should Christians think about the environment and “going green?”

H

R. WRITES: How should we view our responsibility in caring for the earth in areas like recycling, waste, and our ecological footprint? How concerned should we be about the environment, and what should we do about it? Share Your Thoughts in the Comment Section!
