What it means to believe in God and be born again.
One of the most powerful messages I’ve ever heard, this is from Pastor Steven Furtick
Some of you have been trying to fix your relationship with God by doing more, trying harder. “I promise I’ll do better, I’ll really do better this time. I’ll really really really really do better this time, God.” You need to be born again.
The most famous verse in all of the...

jedbrewer:
jesusandalex asked you: Hi Jed! What does it really mean when God say he will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand? I’ve watch video of artists who seem to have a relationship with Christ falls short of His glory and never return back. Why did God allow them to be tempted…

Christian dating: goals not rules
unkaglen:
Let’s face it, dating is a modern cultural phenomenon. The Bible doesn’t say anything about it, because dating as we know it today didn’t exist back then. So can we still apply the Bible to the modern cultural phenomenon of dating? You bet. But it won’t work to try and rewrite the rules of dating to make it more righteous, and that’s not how mature Christians handle things anyway.

couldbekitschy:
So it seemed that it was cool, for everyone to be in a relationship but me. So I took matters into my own hands, and ended up with him. Him who displayed the characteristics of a cheater, a liar, an abuser, & a thief.
So why was I surprised when he broke into my heart? I called 911, but I was cardiac arrested for aiding and abetting, Cause it was me who let him in…...

Christian Dating, where do I start?
unkaglen:
There’s lots of really weird advice about dating available to the young Christian today. Head to your local Christian bookstore, and you’ll find bookshelves full of it. Nowadays, it seems like it’s getting to the point where the advice boils down to: wear a full body condom, lock yourself in a closet, and try to have no thoughts or feelings about the opposite sex. That’s not Christian...

When your Christian friends don't act very...
unkaglen:
One of the toughest things we deal with in our Christian faith is when our Christian friends, the people we fellowship with, end up taking a major left turn in their lifestyle. Here’s an example sent in recently:
I have a friend that has been one of my closest for years and we’re into a lot of the same things. But recently, she’s been changing. Popularity and “fun” are her biggest...

The Sin You Can't Quit →
If you’re struggling with habitual sin, first, welcome to being human and a Christian. We’ve all been there. Second, relax for a minute. God’s not going to let you go. Take a deep breath and be still. Then, start asking God for wisdom. Seek out some older Christians who aren’t uptight about the subject. Seek the Lord on what’s driving the sin areas in your life. And step by step, address those...
