    Need your prayers. Just an ear to hear.

    Thank you brother for your words of comfort. I did need to hear that. Our Saviour does lead us by example. Still, if I were above being human, I would not write here at all. It's because it hurts at times that I write. Because I need assurance from others who believe in my Lord Jesus as I do...

    Need your prayers. Just an ear to hear.

    If God were not the source of my life, I would have died a long time back. I'm holding on to Him. I owe Jesus my life. But I thank you for your prayers and your words. Thank you

    Need your prayers. Just an ear to hear.

    My mother is a believer. But she's someone who has been deeply wronged throughout her marriage. She has sacrificed her life so that me and my brother can have a good one. Someone like her cannot understand what we're going through emotionally and what we face at work or at our school or college...

    Need your prayers. Just an ear to hear.

    Thank you for your kind words. I do have goals. I have made progress by God's grace. And what you say is in my mind and I know I'll have to do that eventually. It's the difficulties I face in the meantime before those dreams can be realised and the waiting to see it happen while working for...

    Need your prayers. Just an ear to hear.

    It's easy for you to say to move out. I'm dependent on my family's support at this time. Sure, I'm a graduate. A master degree holder. I've juggled jobs and tried businesses. But what I do now requires funding and my family does it for me partially. I have not found someone to love in the...

    Need your prayers. Just an ear to hear.

    So, I've been living my single life hoping for the best in my future. In my mid 30s. Struggling with my life. Lacking self confidence in my job. You see, I've been bullied growing up. I live life with a very insecure parent. A parent who can turn abusive on me at will. I started to type this and...

    Life Feels Like high School

    You as a person are worth much more than that. God has not left you destitute. You are working for a living. It doesn't matter what job it is. You don't have to be arrogant to anyone that looks down on you. But please do defend yourself if you think your self respect is at stake. That's all...

    Getting Rid of Drama

    I got kicked out of Tinder for nothing at all. I was just swiping left and right. I didn't even communicate with anyone and they put me on review and banned me. When Jesus says you are not of this world he means it. When you stand for Jesus, you will be rejected by the world, by your family and...

    The main reason there can never be true unity between Catholics and Christians

    Buddha was a rationalist. What He propagated most was the 8 fold path of Buddhism during his lifetime. The depiction of him fighting demons and sitting under the serpent's head is all imagination and anyone can tell that it is the mythological depiction of Buddha and this is owed to the...

    The main reason there can never be true unity between Catholics and Christians

    Anything to do with the Mahayana Sutra has to do with Hinduism. Because Guathama Buddha during His lifetime never did mention God. He was a Social thinker and reformer. Buddhist followers later on wrote many other sutras to assimilate Buddhism that posed a threat to Hinduism at the time...

    The main reason there can never be true unity between Catholics and Christians

    You clearly don't know much about religions do you? A Hindu is a believer of Gods and clings to Caste hierarchy. That's what it's all about for a Hindu. Buddhism speaks about atheistic principles and Gauthama Buddha sought to free people from the oppression of caste. He neglected to mention God...

    Rules of Engagement

    Honesty. That's my only rule. If that's there then that's good for both parties.

    Comment by 'justahumanbeing' in media 'church dress'

    It's a skill. Not everyone can cook, make their own dresses, do such things. You have been blessed by God. I'm not you, but if I could make such beautiful clothes, I would give some thought to becoming a fashion designer or something. All the same, it makes me happy to see someone else happy...

    What Verse or Passage of scripture do you find difficult to interpret?

    Sadly, it has always happened in my life. There is another verse too like this. 49 “I came to set the earth on fire, and how I wish it were already kindled! 50 I have a baptism to receive, and how distressed I am until it is over! 51 Do you suppose that I came to bring peace to the world? No...

    What Verse or Passage of scripture do you find difficult to interpret?

    This passage has always left me wondering with more than a few questions. What could Jesus mean by these words. That there was no real peace and fellowship intended to be within a family? Are there no happy families? I get that God wants us to be happy and look to Him for guidance. Is this...

    Older single children living with their parents....

    This would depend on the child and the parent. No home has the same framework, family background and structure. A home like mine does not have this. Some homes will have parents who expect their children to leave and be on their own. Not every home will have parents willing for the children to...
