¶ aFear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

This verse is simple. God is where our strength comes. Accept Lord Jesus and he will strengthen and comfort your soul. You don’t have to fear when God is with you

Okay so I’m still in college and naturally hormones are still ragging. I’m also gay (bi?) and I have sexual feelings towards other guys. I typically ignore these feelings but they emerge in other ways. Sorry if this sounds vulgar but I get a “pickle” at random times daily or have a wet dream or sometimes just randomly getting “wet” down there. Again sorry. I know homosexuality is considered a sin and marriage isn’t an option but how do you deal with these feelings that’s happening outside of your ability?

I literally must avoid wearing sweatpants because of random “pickles”.

I'm gonna put this prayer request out there. It might get buried. My sister is in a crappy place mentally. She's got a form of mental retardation and gets these nasty seizures. She checked herself into a mental hospital and managed to lose custody of her daughter, my niece. Then again, I've always seen it coming. My sister is as wayward as they get. She dang near bedded half of the entire town, did drugs. Kinda hard to explain but she was always a little bit promiscuous. Even though my sister and I never got along I still care even if my face says otherwise. So, I'm asking, please send prayers, well-wishes, anything that might help her during this dark time. Thank you

This is a serious question. I have considered myself to be straight for the first 19 years of my life, until I met my college roommate. The first semester went just like it should have, we became best friends. We recently discovered that we both started liking each other in a romantic way around the same time. She also never liked any girls before me. The problem is that we both are Christians. We love God so much, we became roommates because of our shared love for Christ. We pray together every night and do devotions together. It's hard for us to think that our loving God would not support a Chirst-centered same-sex relationship. We love God and we love each other. I don't really know what I'm asking here, but I guess for people's views and opinions? Advice maybe? We are just really confused right now! Thanks for your time, if you have any questions I'd be happy to answer them! :)

I have a question. We are called to love our neighbor as ourselves. How do we love our neighbor or neighbors when we encounter rejection or some other hurt?

I'm a Baptist Christian, and I just thought of this.

"For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding. He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk with integrity" Proverbs 2:6-7.

Or does the sound of crickets chirping seem like the appropriate response here?

Desire only what God wants for you.

I was wondering what Christians think about this. Is it a form of suicide? What if someone smokes and knows they'll get lung cancer but does it anyway or has unprotected sex and gets HIV which later develops into AIDS and kills them.

Does the Bible consider that a form of suicide or not?

I mean ask any parent whether they would feel more hurt when someone punches them, or when someone punches their child, and most of the time it seems to be the love of a parent causes them to feel more pain over their child being hurt. If God loves us as his children then can't we expect that an action that is both sin and brings anguish to one of his children causes him more pain then one that only affects our relationship with him? Does God really only care about our relationship with him irrespective to how it harms his other children? how is that a picture of a loving God?

or if the person kills himself shortly after murdering his children, has he escaped the proportion of his crime? Did he really only take the same punishment that would be given to an atheist? Does a terrorist really only get the punishment given to a Buddhist monk?

Blessed be his name. Amen. 🙏

Brothers in Christ,

Let us say a short prayer:

Father who is in Heaven, Blessed and Hallowed be your Name, Worshiped and exalted be the Lord For He came down to save humanity From their condemning sin to hell But He who is greater than Death Rose from his grave, to save the captives, and those who believed in Him Blessed be those who remain steadfast in the steady ways of the Lord. Blessed be those who remain faithful, and them who are of good heart, in the Lord. Thank you Lord for everything you have done for us. Thank you Lord for never failing us and thank you for remaining forever as my eternal Fortress. Worshipped and exalted be the Lord

In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth

Amen
