It happened to Paul. Have you read that before where he says, "Oh wretched man that I am. Who will deliver me from this body of death?" And his answer is the Lord. It is a discipline, but just like with exercise, the more you focus on him and surrender your will and your life and put him first, the stronger your walk will be. Reckon yourself (Brandon) dead and alive to Christ. If you are not dating a saved girl, stop that. God does not want an unequal yoke. Surround yourself with other believers who delve into the Bible. Start to memorize passages that give you power (Thy Word Have I hid in my heart that I might not sin against Thee.) You are a child of the King. See yourself as that. Confess your sins and get into fellowship and keep confessing to Him when you fail. The more you fill your head with Him, the less you will fill it with the world and it's ideas. The Word is how you will grow. Good Christian radio. Bible-believing teachers. These are all helpful to you and they are there if you wish. There is a promise that says, "He who desires to know of the doctrine (teaching) will know it." Sounds to me like you have a desire. Forget the past things that weigh you down. If you are having sex and that is what you want, get married. God invented sex, but for a marriage between two believers. You have been saved for a purpose; to glorify the Lord. You are honestly assessing yourself (great!). This is good. You are heading in the right direction, just keep going.

I am in middle school an 8th grader and i need some help with my parents. I am a straight A student also in all honors classes. I dont feel as though my parents trust me. I have a friend that i've known since i was 4. I would always hang with her we called our selves Bff's :) Since then my mom was okay with me hanging with her. Lately she never wants me to hang with her. She says her spirit does no allow her. My friend has been wanting me to hang with her but i always feel as though i have to lie my way out of it and i really dont like it. I really like her as a friend and she's not an infuence at me at all. My mom just doesnt like her mom for personal reasons that has just occured. Is it okay for my mom to make me cut my friends off because of what has occured betwen her and my friends mom? What can i do to make my mom understand that nothing will happen to me? Instead of cutting my friend off all at once is it a better idea to do it graudally? What should I do? I s there any bible verses that talk about this? What if y feelings get hurt? Please I've been having these questions in my had for too long.I really need answers.They have been distracting me.Thanks and God Bess Im 13 and my family is a very big christian family.

We both make each other happier than ever, laughing and being romantic. Never a dull moment. We met online and texted/talked every second for a month, which is something I dont normally do, but with her, has been awesome. We both admit to be falling in Love with each other. We are somewhat a distance from each other, about a 3 hour trip.No big deal from either of us. She has streesed to me that it isnt too far away for her at all. We finally got a chance to meet up, which turned out to be a great time.We spent the weekend together. We had alot of buildup and things felt as if we were with each other forever. By the way, when I met her in person for the first time, I also met half her family at a reunion. Talk about alittle nerveracking. But things went good. She was always touching asnd kissing me and when I left her last weekend to go home, I felt great. The next day, I sent her a text as I usually to make her day start off great and happy, her response was alittle dull. She sent me kisses back as usual, but something was just off. Alittle later, she sent me a text stating that she is arguing with her ex-husband and she might call me later if she has the mental stability to do so. I responded back that she should call me anyway, even if she doesnt want to talk about it. She never called me, so I responded I was worried and I hope things get worked out. I let her know that some things just arent my business but I am here for her. I also let her know how beautiful she was inside and out and that I am greatful to have her in my life and thank God for it everyday, just to try and raise her spirits alittle. The next day, responses were still vague, so I decided to tell her that I was going to be silent until she was ready to talk to me, and that I am still there for her. She responded with a thank you:) Muah. I have very little doubt that she is trying to get rid of me, just by how well things have been going, but still, it sucks to be in the dark. It’s only been 5 days since hearing from her, but still hurts here and there. Does this sound like things are ok? I’m going to hang in there regardless. I guess, I’m just trying to figure out what would make her not want me to be there for her right now. Any information will be helpful to help me get through this. I know that this kind of thing could happen when starting things off with her. And I know I need to grow stronger if I’m going to stay with her. I just need some good advise about what I can do and what to look forward to in the future.

My boyfriend baptist already but he backslide. Now i want to be baptist. I realise i have to leave everything behind and focus on christ. I understand that but becoming a christain now. Don't christain need love too? What i mean is when I become a christain what do i do to find love that is pleasing in the sight of God. I will love to have children i was trying beofore i took sick. Becoming friend with a male will be hard for me especially if i want him to be my future husband and father of my children. Because no matter what i still love my boyfriend, it sort of something is there but you have to gave it up for the greater good in my life. But it come like we never break up in a sense. The love is still present as it was yesterday. How do i move pass this? It won't be fair to others who i wish to have a relationship with christain wise. Then there is the meeting that special one to love, there isn't much men in the church where i attend mostly women. And the few men is either not around my age or they are already dating other christain in the church. My question is where do christain find love? And what are needed to make sure you and that person does not get caught up with temptation? The other question about being baptist, can one baptist by one religion and attend another church after? I wanted to get baptist but the church i am going (Pentecostal) usually have baptism once a year around easter time. Right now seventh day adventist is having crusade in my area and i wanted to get baptist and then attend the pentecostal church after. What is your take on it? I figure if someone want to get baptist it doesn't matter which church they attend after. The word of God is the word of God. If someone want to get baptist they should be able to and then choose which church they want to attend right? I am asking for your advice please.

I'm 26 and have been calling myself a Christian since I was 14. At the time, I was so paranoid that I was messing up the acceptance of Jesus prayer that I'm sure I said it 100 times. Although my life is far from lined up with God's word, I have no doubts about his existence. Never have. I feel it's honest to share though, that I don't think I've ever actually experienced God's presence. That is, I don't believe I've ever been man enough to actually give enough of myself to God and feel his power in return. Currently, I'm finding myself straying further from the word. My girlfriend and I, while both 'saved' participate in premarital sex. I don't attend church because I'm lazy, and I simply don't read any of my Bibles. Saying these things, reinstates something deep within me, and I'll tell myself I'm going to change, right now. But in a couple of hours, the human part of me will dull any spiritual senses and I'll keep living a sinful life. I don't really know what to do. Thanks Hello,
