Baby Mama Drama

Baby Mama Drama

Anonymous: I have been with my boyfriend for two years. We are both Christians and recently made the decision to be obedient to God and to keep in His word daily. I love the fact that we are growing together and encouraging each other when times get tough.
My boyfriend has a three year old son that we pick-up on the weekends and I love him to death. When it’s us three we have a great time together. The only thing is I feel that my boyfriend is trying to keep me away from his son’s family. He doesn’t like to tell me when he talks to his son’s mother and seems to make calls over there secretly to keep me from finding out.Read complete Q & A

Partying & Clubbing

Partying & Clubbing

Lil Bro asks..What does the bible say about partying and clubbing?
Answer..The bible says “Don’t do it!” The bible refers to partying and clubbing as part of our “sinful nature” and goes on to say that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.(Galatians 5:18-21)
Romans 13:12-13 says, “The night is almost gone; the day of salvation will soon be here. So remove your dark deeds like dirty clothes, and put on the shining armor of right living. Because we belong to the day, we must live decent lives for all to see. Don’t participate in the darkness of wild parties and drunkenness, or in sexual promiscuity and immoral living, or in quarreling and jealousy. Read Complete Posting

My Ex Never Got Rid of the Indecent Pictures & Video of Me

My Ex Never Got Rid of the Indecent Pictures & Video of Me

Anonymous Wrote:
Sister, I need your help and prayers. I was in a relationship with a guy for a year and in that year I also became a Christian. As a new believer, I did not listen to God as much as I should have. As a result, I ended up emailing my ex bf undesirable pictures and a video of me. It's been roughly a year since we broke up and we still occasionally talk. Recently I accidentally discovered a message he sent his friend about still having those files on his email and computer. I was terrified. I thought he had deleted them but I was deceived. How should I go about confronting him about it? Should I talk to him about it in person? How should I go about it? Please help me. I pray that God will erase my past sins and forgive my sinful deeds so that I made me made pure and innocent again.

Scriptures on Self-Control

Acts 5:29 (Amplified Bible) 29Then Peter and the apostles replied, We must obey God rather than men.

Romans 8:9 (Amplified Bible) 9But you are not living the life of the flesh, you are living the life of the Spirit, if the [Holy] Spirit of God [really] dwells within you [directs and controls you]. But if anyone does not possess the [Holy] Spirit of Christ, he is none of His [he does not belong to Christ, is not truly a child of God].

1 Corinthians 4:3-4 (Amplified Bible) 3But [as for me personally] it matters very little to me that I should be put on trial by you [on this point], and that you or any other human tribunal should investigate and question and cross-question me. I do not even put myself on trial and judge myself.
4I am not conscious of anything against myself, and I feel blameless; but I am not vindicated and acquitted before God on that account. It is the Lord [Himself] Who examines and judges me.

2 Corinthians 5:14 (Amplified Bible) 14For the love of Christ controls and urges and impels us, because we are of the opinion and conviction that [if] One died for all, then all died;

Galatians 1:10 (Amplified Bible) 10Now am I trying to win the favor of men, or of God? Do I seek to please men? If I were still seeking popularity with men, I should not be a bond servant of Christ (the Messiah).

Colossians 1:10 (Amplified Bible) 10That you may walk (live and conduct yourselves) in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to Him and desiring to please Him in all things, bearing fruit in every good work and steadily growing and increasing in and by the knowledge of God [with fuller, deeper, and clearer insight, acquaintance, and recognition].

1 Thessalonians 2:4 (Amplified Bible) 4But just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the glad tidings (the Gospel), so we speak not to please men but to please God, Who tests our hearts expecting them to be approved].

DON'T EVER GIVE UP

DON'T EVER GIVE UP

The Creator of Heaven and Earth as good plans and a purpose for your life. You are not an accident. Our God made all the delicate, inner parts of your body and knit you together in your mother’s womb for such a time as this. He made you so wonderfully complex! You are His marvelous workmanship. He watched over you as you were being formed in utter seclusion, as you were woven together in the dark of your mother’s womb. He saw you before you were born. Every day of your life was recorded in His book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. He has wonderful and precious thoughts about you. His thoughts toward you cannot even be counted because they outnumber the grains of sand! When you feel lonely or like you’ve lost your way remember that Jesus is just a prayer away. Don’t ever give up! (Psalm 139:13-18)

Insults, Rumors, & Gossip

Written by: Saved By Faith
“Did you hear? ...”“You didn’t hear it from me but…”“Someone told me that….”We’ve all been there before, either saying it or listening to it. Gossiping, exchanging stories, talking about someone, whatever you want to call it. But what exactly did you get from it? Do you still see that person the same way, without judging them? Can that information be used to lift them up? Or did it damage their reputation? Hurt them? Or maybe hurt you?Click here to continue reading

What's Love Got To Do With It?

Show Me A Sign

Written by: Saved by Faith
Just as God created trees, He created us to be rooted too. Rooted in His word. Rooted in His faith and love. Many are quick to question whether or not He's there for them. Many say, "Well, if God was there then why would he let that happen to me?" Sometimes we have to go through certain struggles in order to continue on the righteous path. Sometimes these struggles are used to humble us or remind us of the walk we should be taking as Christians. In order to truly survive these trials, we must be firm in our walk...

Do You Think I'm Beautiful?

Do You Think I'm Beautiful?

Written by: Trophy of Grace
A friend gave me a book to read called, Do You Think I'm Beautiful? written by Angela Thomas. She said that she thought it would be good since I am doing the WeUsed2bu ministry and so many girls and women ask, “Do you think I’m beautiful”. Since this is a question that I have asked on several occasions I was determined to see what this book had to offer on this frequently asked question. I could never imagine the blessing that was in store for me. I know now that it was most definitely our loving and sweet Lord who put it on her heart to give me this book to read.Click her to continue reading

"Do Over"

Written By: Trophy of Grace
“For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard.” Romans 3:23
Recently I have been thinking about how many believers allow themselves to be tormented by feelings of guilt and condemnation when they sin and fall short of our God’s glorious standard. They get so down on their selves when they realize that they are still susceptible to sin. We must remember that we are going to make mistakes as long as we are here in these sinful bodies living in this world full of sin and temptation.Read complete posting

What is Truth?

Written by: Daughter of the King
Recently I was at a Christian concert for teens handing out brochures; these brochures contained biblically accurate information and advice for Christian teens about some of the tough issues they face today, issues like abortion, sex, pornography and homosexuality.
For the most part I had a great time sharing this information with many teens and young adults, they were very grateful that we took the time to answer their questions. But then a group of girls came along and they picked up some of our brochures and after reading them one of the girls said that she didn’t agree with me, so I asked her what was it that she didn’t agree with. She replied that she didn’t agree that abortion was wrong, I told her that the fact that abortion is wrong (a sin) is not my opinion but God’s opinion and really the only opinion that matters is not mine or yours but HIS. I reminded her that through out the Bible God tells us that HE creates all life and all life is sacred, then I asked her “Are you a Christian?” “Are you saved?” what she said next surprised me; she said, “Yes, I’m a Christian but I don’t believe everything that’s in the Bible”.Read Complete Posting

Locked Up Memories

Locked Up Memories

This article is for mature audience; Graphic in nature; Not for the weak or judgemental

Written by: Blessed & Highly Favored
My mother died four years ago and I’m still having a hard time going through her stuff. In fact, there are boxes in my possession that I haven’t gone through since March of 2004. The boxes are full of papers, pictures, letters, etc.
I really loved my mother and I miss her terribly. I know she’s in heaven and I’ll just have to wait to see her again.
Now, my father…I hated him. He molested me for years as a child, forcing me to perform oral sex on him, and fondled every part of my body. He made me fear him, fear my feelings, and sowed the seeds of distrust. I didn’t know what love was, only that I was exploited for his pleasure. And I never told my mother. I thought I was the one who was being bad, almost asking to be abused. As so this is how a child thinks.Read complete posting
