    I want to fight for my marriage...she doesn't.

    I have been a stay-at-home dad for the most part of the last 8 years for our 3 adopted kids. My wife has been the one working hard for the paycheck to support our family. For many years now I have had, what I now realize as, an addiction to shopping. Buying tools, electronics, etc... I would...

    Spiritual Competition

    I'm not sure where to place this so I'm hoping this board is the correct place. I'm faced with a fault of mine, stemming from pride, but I realized today, I'm spiritually competitive. When I'm corrected or someone knows more than me, especially if it's someone I feel particularly competitive...

    Take it from experience: you don't want to just beat your psychosis, you want to tame it

    Hi there, So yes, a word of hope here: it is possible to tame your psychosis - in a manner of speaking. Initially, schizophrenia (for example) can be very wild and unchecked, but with proper self-care (meditation, diet, medication - to an extent - exercise), you can reach a point, where you...

    But Take Heart!

    Based off John 13-16 Tomorrow I will turn 70 years old, Lord willing. It is hard to believe that I have lived that long. And, the next day will be the year 2020, which is also so unbelievable, too. It seems so futuristic. It brings back memories of old SCI-FI movies I watched as a child or as a...

    On the subject of porn...

    Hi all, Gonna open up with something quite personal here, something I've only ever shared with my fiancée but I was wondering if there are others who may have had a similar experience. I was introduced to porn at a very early age (maybe 8/9) by my neighbour at the time (who was about 16). And I...

    Chaos And Lawlessness In The World Today

    Christians, family of Christ, please listen ever more to what God has to say and guide you to do. There is SO much darkness in the world today that we are truly getting closer and closer to the Days of Noah and Lot. However, this also means that Christ is about to return, as you know if you...

    In Evil Times

    Recalling Your Tears 2 Timothy 1:3-5 NIV I thank God, whom I serve, as my ancestors did, with a clear conscience, as night and day I constantly remember you in my prayers. Recalling your tears, I long to see you, so that I may be filled with joy. I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first...

    Fleshly Offspring

    Do you test what is being taught in the church against the Word of God? Or, do you have a tendency to believe what you hear, because it sounds good? Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world...

    Share His Holiness

    Thursday, February 16, 2017, 6:11 a.m. – The Lord Jesus put in mind the song “In Faithfulness He Leads Me.” Speak, Lord, your words to my heart. I read Hebrews 12:4-17 (NASB). For Discipline (vv. 4-11) You have not yet resisted to the point of shedding blood in your striving against sin; and...
