    Does God Really Protect His Innocent Sheep?

    Never did I say God is my slave. Also I have read through my Bible a number of times, I recall verses referring God to a "heavenly father" and so much more. In my friends prays she was not screaming for new toys, She was praying for deliverance from this really bad situation. I think that is...

    the pursuit of Happiness

    Happiness is thrown around quite a bit. Some people think they can buy it, some think it comes from marriage or a car. But I think the only true happiness can be given from God only. Notice how people who seem like they have everything seem sad and feel like they are missing something? It's...

    Does God Really Protect His Innocent Sheep?

    Update: This afternoon I talked to my friend about calling a hotline. I tried reassuring her but she instantly turned white and her voice turned thin. She basically said, that if her abuser has another victim she hope's that the next one will be stronger then she is, and the next one can be the...

    Please pray about today

    I will pray for you. When foolish thoughts enter your mind, try reciting Bible verses. The devil will flea from this.

    Does God Really Protect His Innocent Sheep?

    What do you mean by "buying into the whole conspiracy that this 'friend' created." This situation is rather complicated so seeking justice is not easy. The whole thing would end up in one messy court case that would lose. Getting a video is a good idea, but I don't know if that is possible...

    Does God Really Protect His Innocent Sheep?

    I did mention it above that she was quite "young and innocent." She was not held hostage, she was under a form a mental control by her abuser. She was too afraid to get help. People are so quick to assume that a story like this is fake. No, this really happened. I wish this was one big lie but...

    Does God Really Protect His Innocent Sheep?

    It was done by a "Friend." Kinda doubt the police could do anything. This person who did it is a minor, and there is no proof of any of it. May do more harm than good. The justice system fails at this type of thing. I've told her countless times that her parents would not be angry. Her parents...

    Does God Really Protect His Innocent Sheep?

    People insert the world "trail" in place of temptation, stating that God won't let anyone go through something too much for them. But I can't believe that. People go through things and sometimes end up killing themselves because of it. Maybe that's just a misinterpretation of scripture.. Her...

    Does God Really Protect His Innocent Sheep?

    But there are times were God, has helped people, my friend keeps hearing those stories, and she wonders why he didn't help her. Then she thinks everything is her fault. (which it definitely was not) I see what you are getting at though, and I thank you for your reply. My friend was a young...

    Does God Really Protect His Innocent Sheep?

    I didn't know exactly where to post this because there are so many topics, so I'm sorry if this is the wrong place. It's also been awhile since I have been here. Really need some help right now... My friend has gone through some serious sexual abuse for a couple years. She was young and...

    Black Friday question and commentaries--sorry for coming across as judgmental

    Here in Canada we do have Black Friday, but it is not near as huge. So I kinda am just sitting here in Canada looking over and wondering, "what is happening?" I also have always wondered, why is Black Friday called "Black" Friday. The name seems to incur something bad. Maybe all we can...

    What do you think about Homeschool?

    @Cimorene I'm not entirely sure what your asking but hopefully this covers it. It gives me a final grade at the end of the year. Since it is a known reputable math program that has been extensively tested, most Colleges won't question the quality of the person's math. They will just accept the...

    What would you do if someone tried to force you to deny Christ, or Christianity?

    Well, I think you can never know for sure unless faced with the decision. I would like to say I would take the torture and death, but I really don't know. I hope and pray that God would give me the strength to carry through. The flesh is weak, but the spirit is strong.

    Are you a dog lover or a cat lover?

    I have both a cat and a dog. The dog treats me like a master and the cat treats me like a servant. I travel a lot and I find the cat is almost impossible to travel with. He hates it! Chester (my dog) loves to travel with me. I have a very special bond with my dog so I would have to say I prefer...
