    Don’t like my son

    You seem like a good father. So, it's ok not to like him. At least you have a son. There are so many out there who don't have one. The world is a harsh place. His environment would definitely play a role in shaping who he becomes. As long as you do your part and still continue to do so as a...

    Do our words carry the same power as God?

    No. We are made in God's likeness. This does not mean we are God. A good example is in the Book of Genesis, God creates the Earth and all in it in 6 days just by uttering words. There's a huge difference between God's word and Man's word. Our words can't compare to God's word. There's a very...

    Need encouragement. Married to unbeliever

    Your belief is yours. Feel free to go for worship, Bible study and keep believing in our Lord. Nothing more wonderful than that. Don't give up on your husband. You both may not see eye to eye because he believes differently. It's okay. He's your husband so you can get through to him in so many...

    your thoughts?

    I can talk about it if I feel it is relevant and it is about my country. So, yeah. I will speak what I want to. A thread can be continued at any time. You have conveniently left out so many others who continued the conversation long after it was over.

    your thoughts?

    If I were you I wouldn't listen to what Gandhi says. Sure, he was a leader. But He was a religious fanatic. Though he was straightforward in some ways. A good example is Gandhi's reaction to Dr. B.R. Ambedkar when Ambedkar asked for a separate Electorate for Dalits (Untouchables) at the round...

    Bad experience due to lies

    people lie to you to use you. Plain and simple. They will promise you the sky but they will hardly give you anything. This world is out there to use you. You will find very rarely that people are true and genuine. And when you find those people, don't let go. I'd say, hold on to God. God will...

    Marriage...expensive or just the wedding?

    God made Man and Woman for each other freely. There never was a price tag when God brought the two together. Money does not determine the marriage. Unfortunately, we live in a society that operates this way. I think it is between the couple. How they want to get married. Or whether making...

    What would you do in this situation?

    I'd have probably done the same. Everyone looks at things their way

    The Bible on romantic love

    Love is rare in this world. You don't find it everyday. It is a gift from God when you find someone who loves you. The Bible is full of love stories. There's the story of Esther where she changes the heart of a King to show favour on her people. There's the story of Ruth who goes with her mother...

    This line is meant to intimidate or threaten someone I suppose. But it always makes me laugh. "if you're bad... then I'm your dad."

    rocky picture horror show, totally inappropriate for christians?

    I'm more picky with my horror movies. I feel all media in moderation can be educative. I'm someone who would keep an open mind when it comes to movies. Entertaining horror is something I avoid. I go for feel good movies. A little action and adventure, fantasy. I haven't heard of this one. I...

    Give me bad advice...

    Here's one I got from a work colleague. If you don't like being single, marry anyone willing to marry you. Doesn't matter if they don't match your expectations. Just get on with life after :/ IMO that's super bad advice... there you go.

    Confusion about Sodom and Gomorrah

    The men who visited Lot were not humans but angels. The people of Sodom were wicked. They were not just homosexuals but evil men who didn't bear in mind to be hospitable to travelers who passed their land. Also they did not respect Lot who lived among them. They threatened Lot as well when he...

    How many Christians are all words and no actions?

    Our lives are difficult and we may feel left behind always. Such is life. Although there would have been so many times where we received kindness from people before who are not there for us now. This could be at Church, among relatives, work colleagues. I have no scriptural quote for this. Just...

    Speak Your Mind.

    I try to be everyday? My faith in Jesus? Live life? Absolutely? Why not why? Why Why not? Where God sees me more than I see myself? Great day have I? Take away all the question marks for the above questions and what do you get ? ;)

    Nothing but questions.

    Nothing but questions.

    Very honest of you. I wish I could say that sometime in my life without feeling bothered by those questions. But those aren't my favourite questions. I'd be happy if someone asked me.... What makes you happy? Are you a happy person? Do you love what you do? What do you want to achieve in 10...
