I’m 16f and am a Christian. People can be so rude about being a Christian on this site.. it’s weird. I’m also waiting until marriage, and people seem to get mad about people making this decision for themselves which is strange. I’ve never told anyone that they have to live how I…

So, the other day we were leaving the church (Dunamis Ignite in Ottawa) at about 10:30 at night after a service and there were some young guys drinking and smoking in the parking lot. One of our volunteers went to speak with them and pray for them, and they werent interested so…

As I was praying just a few minutes ago, thanking the Lord for bringing me back to Him, to a place of connection with Him and just to a state of doing better than I have been. I heard this word in my mind. It sounded like “Teshuda”. I finished my sentence that I was praying and…

I’m a 16 year old girl who’s held a very pro choice stance for a while now. After doing more research about abortion and pregnancy in general, talking with other Christians about it, and watching things about the actual process of abortions, I changed my mind about my views abou…

The header is a little rhetorical, but discussion is obviously invited nonetheless. I have seen nothing but blasphemous, blatantly ignorant rhetoric about the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit-even the Bible. I look at the tags of the commentators and think, "Okay, so obviously…

Satan never goes after someone he already owns, he only hunts those who are to God or try to know him. If you are distraced, in despair or simply don’t care he already won, will not even bother with you. His main goal is to literally make you think that you are extremely horribl…

"I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!" I really fear hearing this. I don't want to be cast away. I don't want to sin, yet I do it. Paul said it well: "For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing." I can't even begin to i…

Hi everyone, I’m writing this because I’m feeling overwhelmed right now and honestly I just don’t want to feel alone in this process. I’m 22 yo male. For my entire not so long life, I was strictly atheistic. I had a very analytical skeptical mind and viewed any religion as a fai…

Hi everyone! So I've been a Christian for a few years now. I used to live a life full of lust, vanity, materialism and alcohol/weed. I'm 31 and a new mom now and I was baptized earlier this year. Christ has changed my life so much I have never been happier, more sober and feelin…

I want to know more about God and understand his love for me. I’m wondering if you have any advice about me getting to know God more and being Christian? I’m also planning to start reading the Bible, but I don’t have an actual physical copy of the Bible yet so I think I’m going…

I don’t know who else needs to hear this, but I am so grateful that I waited on God. After a long talk with a woman from my church, I heard God speak to my heart and my mind and my soul and knew this was the right choice. I felt Him speak to me and tell me how each child he form…

Hello all. I don’t think I’ve ever asked someone for prayer before - ever. I only found Jesus (he found me) recently about 6 months ago, after 28 years of wild, sinful living. I’m in a dark place as of late. Paralysed by feelings of depression and anxiety and basically chained t…
