Awww... okay.

Hi Angeleena, welcome! Hope you find this forum helpful in your journeying with Christi.

People tend to draw assumptions and jump into conclusion to the point that they are becoming judgmental without any solid proof. And let's admit, there are Christians with "holier than thou attitude," which is sad. Let us not forget that we are all unrighteous and we have to continuously work towards Christlikeness to be deserving to be called righteous. James 4:12 questions us "who are we to judge our neighbors." As Christians, we are called to hate the sin but love the sinner (oftentimes we call them enemies). Christians are called to love (God first and our neighbors). We should not be afraid of those neighbors who may be able to violate our physical body, for they can never mess up with our soul which is far more important (Matthew 10:28). I know of people who are ministering in the maximum security prison cell, and they are not afraid for they believe that they are being protected by the Lord if ever something happens. These lay who reach out to these people love these sinners unconditionally but not their sins and they were able to save some souls because they have learned how to be not judgmental.

Glad to hear it isn't that bad

Thanks. I have made an appointment with our local pastor, who is not available to see me yet until a week from now, so I also tried looking online for a counselor so I could talk to someone at the moment and came across a counseling site ReGain. I talked to one of their counselors and he had given me some sound advice which I think I can benefit from.

Can you recommend someone?

We are having a marital problem and I am hopeful it's not yet late for me and my husband to fix things up. I wanted us to attend marriage counseling, but upon checking there are Christian counselors and just the regular counselors. Which do you think of this two is more effective and the one we can trust more and will make my husband open up?

it is not who you are, but how you live your life. Is the life you are living pleasing to the Lord (1 Thessalonian 4), and in verses 3-6, it is clearly stated... 3 God wants you to be holy and to stay away from sexual sins. 4 He wants each of you to learn to control your own body[a] in a way that is holy and honorable. 5 Don’t use your body for sexual sin like the people who do not know God.

“We have three types of friends in life: Friends for a reason, friends for a season, and friends for a lifetime.” What you had could be for a reason and obviously just for a season... You still have to wait on God to send your friends for a lifetime...

we may not be burning offerings to the Lord like they used to... but I pray that my offerings (no matter how little and simple) always smell pleasing to the Lord!

It is important to dress in a way that you will not lose your dignity... for Proverbs 31:25 clearly says that "Strength and dignity are her clothing..."

When did you start feeling like that? And are you not considering about getting professional help?

Skyscraper - The Rock

Hi. What do you usually experience? How do you deal with it? Sorry for asking. I just wanted to understand more how my friend is feeling.

Hi. I was able to finally see her and she showed me her legs. She's terribly sad and I am thinking that her condition led her to have a summer depression. I didn't know that there's such thing as seasonal depression till I found out here . We're trying to convince her to have a sort of therapy or counseling to help her lessen the terrible feeling she has now. And of course, she will continuously see her dermatologist and we are also looking for additional effective home remedies. I hope she feels better each day.
