    Doomed to be single?

    While I am a firm believer to tell it like it is according to the Bible, I feel like you are missing the point. I can empathize where the OP is coming from and also do feel her frustration. If she gets encouraged from your post, that's great - but do feel your post was like a dad who's sternly...

    It's the Official Singles Forum DIY Matchmaking Thread! (Whether for Friendships or Dating.)

    That doesn't sound like Kim at all but rather reflecting your own heart, seeking attention by causing disruption.

    It's the Official Singles Forum DIY Matchmaking Thread! (Whether for Friendships or Dating.)

    You gotta be kidding me, right? From what I'm seeing, you are the one who is preoccupied with single seeking another single, not seoul. No one is forcing anything, nor seoulsearch keep going on and on about how she is single. If other singles wanting to stay single, then good, as there are other...

    Stagnant growth

    In John 15:5 Jesus said, "I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing." You and I, being branches, it's not our job to figure out or worry about whether we are growing or bearing fruit. Our job is...

    Why do you think God has you single?

    I can attest to what seoulsearch said about Lynx since I know him on a personal level as well. I am fully convinced that he does not make himself appear as or pretend to be happy (heck, he doesn't even try) but he is genuinely a happy person who is content with his life right now as a single...

    If You Were Married...

    Plenty of people, including myself, aren't refusing to wear pajama; they just don't see the need of it at all. I just take off pants and go to bed with a t-shirt/boxer on. They don't walk around naked.

    If You Were Married...

    just as Jesus loved His disciples, loving her, not with my feeling/emotion but by doing/serving/putting her ahead selflessly while expecting nothing in return. And in turn, she loves me just the same, giving herself, everything to me because she knows I will lay down my life for her and vice versa.

    The way of our Lord Jesus Christ

    Three robbers with gun, sole purpose is to rape and kill, your family's life at stake. Certainty if you don't take necessary action, not only these robbers will kill you but will rape and kill rest of your family. You will find alternatives to violence... like what? Hey guys, you guys can kill...

    The way of our Lord Jesus Christ

    Okay, so, the situation I described earlier, robbers who are going to violate your wife and your children and kill them afterward, what are your "peaceful" ways to spare the enemies and quell violence?

    The way of our Lord Jesus Christ

    Okay, as for me, I will resort to violence if necessary to defend my family. For you, sir, you would let things happen without resorting to any violence then?

    The way of our Lord Jesus Christ

    If you ask me the same question, my answer is I will do whatever it takes to defend my family, including having to kill the intruders, because it's my job. It is one thing to shoot and killing a teenager who broke in to steal, it is another to just sit and do nothing when it is so foreseeable...

    The way of our Lord Jesus Christ

    While I agree, and I would personally suffer consequence for not resorting to violence, but not to the point of letting things happen because I failed to take action. The situation I described is very realistic and happens all the time. I want to see how far you are willing to stick to your...

    The way of our Lord Jesus Christ

    I'll take that as yes then? According to your own version of what it means to love your enemy, in that particular situation I described, you should do nothing and let things happen?

    The way of our Lord Jesus Christ

    So, three men with guns, broke into your place while all your family was asleep, and tell you that they are going to rape your wife and your children and kill them afterward, you would still do nothing but die instead even you had a chance to stop them? If you die, your wife and children, who...

    Streams of Consciousness & Thoughts~~~

    Just got the news that Kobe Bryant was killed in a helicopter crash today - it just feels unreal and just another reminder how fragile life is as no person can guarantee tomorrow, no matter how well your life seems to be going, no matter how secure you think your life is. I was hit with a 2.6...

    I want to love more.

    @LittleMermaid Great topic as this is something I struggle with also time to time but this is what I go by: (1) I stop helping when I no longer do it out of cheerful heart and also let them know; (2) context matter as in do they really need help, have they become feel almost entitled to my...

    Thinking about 2019

    I've met some great people that I wouldn't be able to otherwise, traveled by road to my heart's content and visited a friend, lot of reshaping/reminder of who I am and where my confidence lies, and realizing/thankful for where I am because of God's love and grace. I do feel something is...

    How a sweet Asian gal captured my heart with a few words once upon a time - How is this possible?

    While I can't speak for your life, I agree with Dino that it sounds more like an unhealthy obsession. Next time, instead, do things differently so it wouldn't turn out to be another regret. God bless.
