Craziest Grandpa I've ever had the privilege of meeting. ??. I agree 100%

Hi, nice to meet you and welcome to Worthy Christian Forum. I'm a young teen who still believes and practices what my Bubble teaches regardless of the time. Because i believe that though the world may change, my God and his word never changes.

Good one??

Welcome to worthy. People mostly learn things and may not always be easily convinced. Is you want to motivate others: 1. Pray ur way in: prayer prepares you. It makes the heart of those being talked to ready to listen. Prayer opens you too how God feels. It shows you (through the Holy Spirit) what to say so you don't get nervous. 2. Get a pal:if you hope to motivate others,you have to first have a relationship with them. Be friendly. Be more focused on being a good friend than on nagging them on what and what not to wear. Because that are more likely to take you seriously when they trust and respect you. 3. Be patient: change doesn't always happen immediately so be patient. 4. Don't be too judgemental: people get defensive when they feel judged or when they feel you're trying to make them feel inferior. So when you try to motivate others remember that we all are sinners and talk to them with respect, love but with a firm voice. 5. Be a person of modesty yourself: I'd you really want to be effective, you must learn to practice what you preach. Cus people don't go to robbers to save their money so they surely won't listen to u when you preach about modesty in a fishnet blouse and mini skirt. Always listen to the Holy Spirit. Never feel that any one is any less in God's eyes. To God, people are people. It's only a Pharisee that will consider themselves higher than everyone. And that's why they are ineffective. I pray that you never develop such an attitude. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. How this made sense. All the best, Chrisy

Why facebook when you have WCF?????

God bless you all. You're the best???

Hello. I'm not an expert on love but i'll try my best??. First, i want you to go back those old days when u were young and "in love", when you proposed till you both said " I do". To me it's pretty obvious that u still love ur wife. And as a lady myself, i know she loves you too. But if we love each other why is this happening? Nice question. The thing is that you fell out of love not because you're not meant for each other but you don't have your First love. You don't act the way you used to and ofcourse you can't act like that forever. Here are some things I've learned that I'll love to share with you. 1. It takes two to tango. Marriage isn't about the hubby making the wife to like what he likes or do what he wants. It's about liking or doing what he wants cus u want him to happy even if you aren't. Little things like not listening, watching only YOUR fave shows and dirtying her new floor tiles can make a lady reconsider her love for u. I'm not saying you should change yourself. I'm mean that saying little things like"thanks for making dinner honey"or"I'm sorry"or"how's my lovely wife"or something can help a whole lot. 2. Do unto others as you'd like them to do unto you. If you act nice she's way more likely to act the same way than she would when dragged counselor's office. Plus she will do it wholeheartedly. It may not be that her faith is weak. She may just not want to pray with someone who's mean to her. 3. No one is perfect. I admire that you want to solve your marriage problems but you also have your numerous flaws. Walk a mile in her shoes for a change. Search for your flaws and pray to God to help you with them. It'll do a lot of good than pointing fingers at her. 4. Prayer is the key. God should be first in ur marriage. When u have problem in ur marriage go to God in prayer. Ask for wisdom to be a great husband. She may have been against ur faith in the past because she probably doesn't believe u actually were serious about it. But when she saw u were, she supported u. Does she see u read ur bible or is just a PHASE to her. Ask yourself " Am i really serious about my walk with God?". U can also aak her. And instead of forcing her to pray, you can pray a bit louder and if she wants to she can say Amen. U can pray for her when she's sick. And u should always pray for her. U can post little Verse Of The Day sticky notes. U can casually bring up what u learnt from the Bible or something. There are a lot of ideas. Be creative. 5. Actions speak louder than words. When you say you love her do you show it or you just say it. We believe mostly what we see. Do your actions prove your love. There are a lot of ways of showing ur love. The same goes for ur Christianity. Does she see Jesus in you. The Bible says by their fruits you shall know them. I've learnt that in evangelizing, your actions are more important than anything else. Do you go against what you preach if you do repent and also ask your wife for forgiveness. That's all i can say in this. I hope everything works out and you both have a blissful marriage. Hope this makes sense

I love all the epistles of Paul.

Thank you all for your wise words. May God continually bless you always and forever in Jesus Name. Amen

Hello. I know it may sound dumb but I'm worried about rapture. It's not like I'm not born again. Iaccepted Jesus as my Lord months ago but i feel like I'm not exactly Christian material. I want to grow and a lot of people have told me that I've grown spiritually but i don't feel it. I feel like no matter what i do i sin and I'm scared that one day it'll be too late for Jesus to forgive me and I'll be left behind. That's why i do my best. I'm different from how i was but is it enough. When i sin in any way, i go to God in prayer but sometimes i feel he won't forgive me anymore. I know i shouldn't beat myself up all the time but i feel terrible because I'm hurting God. I mean all God has done had been for my good. He never hurt me. He even Died for me and this is how i repay him??? I don't blame God is he decides to leave me behind and today i just watched a Youtube video about rapture so i feel guilty. I wonder if I'll even go to heaven. I mean I've met a lot of highly spiritual Christians who when compared to me make me look like a rash. They know all the words, verses, stories and everything. I don't mean to sound jealous I'm just pointing out that to Jesus when he's selecting the godly i might not be picked. It's terrible to feel like this. I want to grow. I want to be ready for his coming. Please help. Any advice will be appreciated. Thank you. God bless you

By the way, parents out there. Be careful. I have a lot of seniors who date behind their parents' backs. What is your advice on dating? What advice would you give your kids? Please feel free to share with us and learn some. GBU

Let's just say i have a crush on a friend of mine at school. He's the nicest and most Christian like person I've met there. I really like him but hey i don't wanna do something dumb and i don't believe in dating someone as a teenager. My parents would freak out. Some people said i should date him. But i can't disobey my parents just because of a crush, that wouldn't be right. Should i date him? NAH!!. As i said, he's a Christian and only has love for Christ(and that's what i like about him). He told me when i discreetly asked him what he thought of dating. Anyway, it's just a crush but I'd love to hear advice on this. I'm bored?????. God bless. U guys are d absolute best.

Thanks

Hello Aunt Darian????. Welcome to WCF. Ur questions definitely make sense. Proving that God equally created women with brains??. I'm a proud teen girl and i'm here to prove to u that God loves u (God help me??). 1. God knew Adam will need a pal ( not necessarily helper) to hang out with so he created Eve. Don't u get it? The last is special. And u can see that women are delicate and beautiful. It took God a whole night to create Eve. So stand tall cus God loves us?. Note: he didn't create us first cus we ( whether we like to admit it or not) like to be "tough" and "independent" and probably won't want to admit that we need help. I know i won't. 2. First come, first serve. If u ask me i believe God was being considerate. Let me use my school as an example. In my school, when you're new u get special treatment so u feel welcome and that's one of d best things about being new. But. When u settle down as a "student", special treatment decreases (groan). Eve was just created. Cut her some slack. She would probably want to explore or climb trees or something. Adam on the other hand doesn't have much to do. So God gives him a job. And Eve is free to help out when she wants to. And Eve is a beautiful name. Adam must have been full of love and adoration to give her that name and i'm sure she liked it. And if she didn't complain, why should we??? 3.As a matter of fact, Adam was supposed to "show her the ropes". And interrogating Eve wouldn't solve problems, it'll only make her feel like she's being picked on. Eve felt bad already so God didn't hammer on her (He was being Gentlemanly). Eve was a newbie to Earth and so she will be easily tempted, Adam was created earlier and knew the rules. God was just simply telling Adam to be a better pal or helpmate or buddy to Eve, thus respecting her as a person not just a "helpmate". So Stand Tall Cus God Loves U. 4. God never wanted women to be raped or beaten or hurt. God made us so we can be cared for. Women are weaker yes but are not punching bags and any man who beats a woman is a beast. The answer is simple. Self defence classes. They are a fun way of learning how to defend yourself. I'm not saying punch every guy that hugs u???. Simply set boundaries. Find out WHY he hugs u. Was he recently divorced? Did his daughter die? Is his mum fine? Or anything that could make him do that. He's not an enemy. Tell him he's nice but u'd appreciate it if he stopped the hugging. Joke around with it. Just tell him how uncomfortable u feel. He may not even know. And the strange things happen u might be compatible???? (Just kidding!). If he's forceful and continues to hug u, self defence or a simple slap is advised. Keep on setting boundaries. If he doesn't learn avoid areas where u can see him. Discovering shortcuts and new roads can be fun. But i doubt if u would need to, i'm sure he'll learn. 5. A woman's worth is in who she is. Can i remind u that there are women whose marital status was not known as married but were still great? I'll leave u the work of finding those women but Deborah is an example and there are others. Marriage is adviced so the woman will find a FRIEND, someone to spend ur life with and how they choose to serve their husband is none of our business. And the Bible never said men are free to fornicate. Or have sex as much as they'd like. I have never seen that in any place in my Bible, Have u?? Don't get jealous of men cus those who don't keep themselves pure are liable to shame, regret, suffering, feeling used, AIDS, Herpes, Syphilis, Hell and a whole lot more. God doesn't want us to suffer such so he warns us and those who fail to listen whether male or female will face the consequences. Plus let's not be envious of those who commit such sins because our bodies are God's temples and we keep it pure because we WANT to and if it helps i know a lot of pure male friends who believe in abstinence too. Let's not judge people for the kids they want. We are all different and they have their reasons. Who said Jacob wasn't hurt. He was devastated. It may not be written but how won't he be? He was an old man who had no way of defending himself not to talk about his daughter. I mean let's leave him out of this unless u wished he had a heart attack. Her brothers were violent and killed the guy who raped her. Though, i don't support violence, it showed that they DID care about their sister. 6. C'mon do we have to be every where. Just relax. God loves us and it doesn't matter who has more of this or more of that. BTW, the Bible isn't a genealogy book, u can always Google??. 7. If u look at the Bible heroes they all had flaws. And God uses those who are "over-flawed" or "useless" to show others that God loves everyone. Women in that time were judges and priestesses (Deborah), helpful( Rahab) and just plain pure (Mary). I'm not a feminist and i do understand that men go through a lot. They have to deal with alot too. So let's try to walk a mile in their shoes, Okay?. If Ruth isn't complaining, why should we? The book proves that Ruth is selfless and is considerate about her mother-in-laws. That's an awesome attribute. I love the Keep It Simple Stupid principle. Why turn a few chapters into three books? It's easier to read the way it is. And if u consider it, u find out that if Ruth never met her mother-in-law she would have still been an idol worshipper and won't be worth mentioning and if she hadn't met Boaz she won't have had Obed and there will be no Jesus. So they are important. And who writes only about themselves? I'm sure Ruth is glad that her story was written with the two people she loved most: Naomi (Mother-in-law) and Boaz (her hubby). 8. Women love their kids and are far more considerate than most Men. God chose to be a father because he knew that women take parenting with all their hearts and that men may tend to shy away a bit. All he's trying to do is assure the widows and single mothers that he's got their backs. He's also the mother of the motherless. 9. You're missing the point. Seriously does it really matter how Jesus came? Honestly to me it doesn't even matter if he came as a woman. The point is he came to save us and instead of us to be happy we still complain about how he came(things that don't matter). Whether he came as man or not, he came to save US and that's what counts. 10. Jesus didn't dodge females. He had his reasons. Here's some reasons why: A. Jesus needed people who knew the cities very well. Didn't it every come across to you that Jesus picked fishermen? And a tax collector? He needed people who could navigate through the sea who knew the cities and who would be better than tradesmen, fishermen and tax collectors? Women probably didn't know how to do those things. If you ask me i believe Jesus said them from embarrassment. B. Women tend to worry more than men. Eg if i ask my male friends to follow me, they'd simply shrug and say "sure" but if i ask my girl friends they would first ask me where we are going, what we are doing, what they should wear and stuff like that. If Jesus called women i doubt if they'd be as fast to accept as the men. I know i won't be as fast so let's tell ourselves the truth. They would probably pack bags of clothes they probably won't need and even more "just in case". I'm speaking based on myself and others i know. Not to mention that the women had their lives to think about. Men tend to be more adventurous than women. It's easy for the men to follow but some women are afraid of such traveling. They could have been worried about their homes, houses, friends and a lot more. Whether they are married or not. C. Discipleship ain't a walk in the park. The were constantly on the move. They didn't have time for sightseeing it shopping as many would have liked. They meet many unpleasant people, they were hung, crucified upside down, put in jail countless times and so much more. Women may have been homesick and tired of the travels. Not to mention the fact that they were low in cash. They could have slept in cheap inns and under uncomfortable conditions and some women would have thought that it wasn't worth it and would have left. So considering all this, the amount of women that would have been happy to be disciples would have been low and if there were more men and only one woman, she would have felt lonely and wouldn't concentrate. She might even feel discriminated against and oppressed. 11. Husbands are also required to love and respect their spouses. Hope these answers make sense. God Loves You, Chrisy.

Thanks 4 d advice. Will do????
