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…

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…

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…

A pardon covers offenses against the United States. A pardon does not cover offenses committed against individual states in the United States nor does it cover offenses committed against foreign jurisdictions. If Mexico or another country, like Colombia after today's ICE killing…

For her protection, I obviously won't be disclosing any major details. I can't believe I'm even in this situation but I could really use some prayers or some further advice. I have offered indefinite sanctuary to a friend and coworker of mine. She's a Syrian immigrant here on a…

Just thinking about this after seeing the news about the potential resurgence of the “rigged 2020 election” cycle. Does Trump still really have that kind of sway, and does he still have an impassioned enough base to pull off something like J6 again? Being in a deep red state, I…

Lindsay Graham, an influential Republican, just passed away very suddenly and Mitch McConnell is seeming to be not too far behind him. What kind of implications could this have overall on the GOP’s power structure losing both these men?

Hi hopefully you’re feeling blessed and happy today. I just wanted to share my story here. I became Christian around a year ago. Leaving Islam wasn’t even a hard choice, it was more like getting out of prison. Jesus had given me freedom. I was drawn towards Jesus naturally, no o…

Three years ago I walked through a rain storm in the middle of winter to my local church. It was past midnight and when I got there the gates were closed and the lights were off. I knelt down in tears and cried out to God promising to finally give my life over to him. From then…

Do you think Trump has an heir apparent, or is it one of those things where no one in Washington dares talk about it for fear of reminding Trump of his mortality/term limits? I know the obvious answer is Vance, but Vance does not wield the same kind of fear and influence that Tr…

There's a growing body of research arguing that American division is overstated, and this is becoming an increasingly popular narrative. The implied conclusion is that the division is partly a misperception problem, and that correcting it opens political space that currently see…
