How should I respond when someone picks a fight about religion?

By

The best way to respond to an argumentative friend, especially when it comes to your faith, it to give the most unlikely, unexpected response:  LOVE and RESPECT.  You can practically do this, through: responding with gentle words keeping a respectful tone showing loving actions commit to private prayer Jesus commands us to love God and love others: Matthew 22:36-40 36“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” 37Jesus replied: ” ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38This is the first and greatest commandment. 39And the second…

Is it okay that I am very comfortable with being the weaker partner…

By

…in reference to 1 Peter 5:7, where the husband must also respect his wife? I find myself loving being weaker or vulnerable because it usually doesn’t happen due to my own physical nature. I’m strong and smart enough and to keep myself out of dangerous situations, but do you think this is dangerous? I grew up in an environment where my mom was the head of the household, and men were treated with contempt. I was taught that women were meant to control men, and that men were not really smart enough to be the head of the house. When…

My relationship with my mom isn’t bad, but I don’t feel like I know her. How can I get to know her better?

My relationship with my mom isn’t bad, but I don’t feel like I know her.  How can I get to know her better? This is such a hope-filled question.  Truly, it is a blessing to experience a peace-filled relationship with mom.  However, it can hurt right down to the core to feel like you don’t know her either.  For some reason, when someone holds themselves back from us, it always feels like that must be because there is something wrong with “me” instead of “them.”  Usually, however, it is just the opposite.  When a mom or friend guards her heart…

How far physically are we allowed to go?

How far physically are we allowed to go?   I remember this was the first thing I wanted to know after becoming saved. I wanted my next relationship to be right in God’s eyes. I began by using the concordance in my new Bible to find some answers, but none seemed to give me a clear direction. I could find verses about sex, but what about kissing? Holding hands? And all the other things we know about that include keeping clothes on and taking them off, without actually having sex? Much time has passed since I first searched my Bible,…

If we are in a relationship with a guy, how much time should we spend with him? What is considered to be a bad boyfriend?

By

These are really wise questions to be considered, so kudos to the gal who wants to know! However, let me offer a disclaimer in that I don’t believe it is a good idea to have a boyfriend or spend lots of time with a guy while still in high school. My thoughts on this subject stem from issues of intimacy and a desire to remain pure emotionally and physically until marriage. Yet, that being said, for the benefit of those who already have a boyfriend, or who want guy friendships, it is good to know what to look for and…
