    Not a Salvation Issue / Not Required for Salvation

    Issues with a commandment

    Parents are too old to change as quickly as we would like them to change. There's going to be ego involved. They gave us life. We have to be grateful for that and the many sacrifices they have done for us. It would take them even years to properly hear you out and understand you. Don't burn...

    Issues with Friends

    Friends are your extended family. I think that's the truth. Friends look at you from outside your family who assume they know everything about you. Your family knows you better. But they will miss a lot of details friends will know about you. With friendship, it's always where you draw the line...

    Christian counseling?

    I wasn't referring to the person's denomination. In fact, I don't know what denomination the person who started the thread is. I understand where you're coming from I think. People should be able to get help within their church. Or, since we all believe in Jesus and He is who we look up to for...

    The Spiritual Trauma Thread

    I want to share that spiritual trauma is ever present among believers and most families of believers. I'm sorry and I don't want to offend anyone here because the way I look at it, we are brothers and sisters in Christ. I see it that way. Although, I have always felt judged among Christians. I...

    are you a spender or a saver?

    I've had similar experiences too and I agree with what you say. At least you ask. Me, I just leave it. It's happened a lot of times. Although I know that God sees what we do for others and what others do for us. I think it's the right attitude to forgive but it's up to us to forgive. Those who...

    Is it a sin to drink alcohol

As long as the person who drinks is not influenced by it and acts drunkenly. Even acting drunkenly is all right. That should not lead the...

But to answer the question first asked in the thread: We need savings for the winter part of our lives. That's a time no one is...
