hi manic, just wanted to let you know jesus is always there, the bible is a good way to learn about the Lord, and don't worry he will meet you at what ever stage in life you are. he can answer the questions you have about life. remember everyone and i mean everyone who is a Christian is a sinner saved by grace. Jesus loves you he shed blood for our sins. the fact that your still posting let me know you are looking for the answer. just wanted to let you know we have an awesome God. i will pray for you. God bless you. in Christ, carolyn

while this is true living a Christian life is not easy, as long as you follow the Lord Jesus, you will never be alone. God is with you and will never give you more than you can handle. faith is believing in something you can't see, yet still in your heart you know hes' there. i pray that God will soften your parrents' heart so that they also will follow, pray also for you that you will be strong in the Lord. God bless you in Christ, carolyn

hi roxy, i agree and if you look at most of my post you'll find the only words i do capitalizie is God, Jesus Christ. i too feel he is the only true God. thank you for bringing that to our attention. in Christ, carolyn

thank you all for your prayers, these children really need to be in church that why i have such a problem telling them no. today we did a community service project with scouts, i took these girls along with us. we put bags out for the homeless & needy for personal items to be collected next week at the same time, they we're so good. praise the Lord maybe its sinking in. tomorrow they are going to church with us. we'll try again. thank the Lord for such a beautiful day in Christ, carolyn

i would like to add to this subject.,please. growing up in a family of five children, single mother. we had no extra money for for clothes we had hand me downs. my mother work 2 jobs to put us thru school and to put food on the table she had an 8th grade education, but to me my mom was the smartest person alive. she reminded me daily what love was all about. she loved bible stories and told them often. she on the other hand was from the south were they had special clothes they would wear to church on sunday. so my mother would let that keep us from going to church because i guess pride. thank the Lord for our neighbors who didnt care what i looked like they were just concerned about my heart. later on in my life a pastor came to our house, he told my mom, to send us to church he didn't care what we wore just so we came. my mom also went to church. my mom has now passed on but i know someday i will see her again thanks to that pastor not caring what we wore he was concerned with our hearts. sorry if i seem like i am rambling, but i think we as christians should lookn the inside not out. in Christ, carolyn

don't you hate when you have to explain the joke. i thought it was very cute.

hi starling, no i agree you shouldn't be watching movies that bother you. and if his love for you is great he will not want to put you in that position to have to make a decision like that. now as far as your self esteem, you need to talk to a counsler about that, a pastor someone who can show you how to deal with this. make sure this issue is resolved before you marry, because if you have trust issues now and your not married to him. believe me it will not get any better after marriage. suicide, talk to a pastor no one is worth that, did you say you were a Christian, if so greater is he that in you than he that is in the world. God loves you and he doesnt make junk you are fearfully and wonderfuly made. God sent his son Jesus to die for our sins. every pain you feel he felt in your behalf on that cross he won he is alive! go to him call on his name. he loves you. i will pray that God show you where to go. take care of yourself and remeber God loves you. in Christ, carolyn

hi well grew up in church first southern baptist, then general baptist along with going to the baptist church i went to a non denominational church, where i learn to read and sing scriptures out of the bible. i've also been to many other churches. when i married a catholic man i told my husband i would not raise my children catholic, he didn't seem to mind maybe he thought we wouldn't have children, needless to say two years later my son was born when he was old enough i took him to a catholic service, he was so bored and never wanted to go again. my children my husband and i went then to a general baptist church where my kids got involved and began to love church. my husband stop going. my kids started singing in church my husband would come when they sang they sang with a group of 3000 children at the twa dome in st louis with the billy graham crusade. we then moved tried many church but we ended up at a church free will baptist. my kids began singing there. my husband moved us again after 3 years. we have been here for almost 4 years, we are now back in a southern baptist church , my kids are happy lots of youth there. my husband on the other hand is out of the picture since last aug 05 when he decided to leave. we are happy in the baptist church. thank God that his hands are there holding us up. in Christ, carolyn

my brother served in the us military since he was 18 years old and has been all over the world. he married and now lives with a muslim woman in turkey. i too had heard all these things about muslims all my life, but when i met her i fell in love with her she has a beautiful love in her life. my brother was raised by a bible believing family. so i placed it in Gods' hands. its' not my place to judge but to love my neighbor. in Christ, carolyn

my son came home yesterday from school and told me this was a discussion in one of his classes yesterday at school. we have a picture of the last supper on the wall. he began telling about it. it was lies and one mans opinion. my thing is why? are they teaching my child about this, when kids are not allowed to read their bibles on their own free time, say a prayer, or one nation under God what happen to our country in Christ, carolyn

i believe if you give the devil a place to enter he will

i have never heard of it either but will check it out. thank you for the info

praise God that his son Jesus died for us. yet while we were sinners he still loved us. and on the third day rose again. He Has Risen praise God that he cared enough to send his very best, Jesus Christ. shouldn't we give him ours! in Christ carolyn

judas was given a choice, he chose evil over good. if he was a follower of Jesus, he would have known the voice of the sheperd. in Christ, carolyn we fall down, we lay before the Lord, and we praise his holy name for he alone is worthy of praise.

hi cutie pie i recently went to a shane and shane concert at a baptist church. though it was loud i feel the youth that were in that concert really came there to worship, they raised their hand to God, i was glad my teens were there to experience that feeling. i say pray that God will send the Holy Spirit to saturate your meetings just keep your eyes on God and your heart in the right place and the Lord will be there. in Christ, carolyn

hi suzian, i am sorry to say but their are christians who are guilty of gossip but their are those who are really concerned about you, God loves you and you need to find a good christian counsler who will take into confidence what you say. gossip is not right, it destroys relationships. i will pray the holy spirit will lead you to a church. please don't think all christians are that way. in Christ, carolyn

peaches, it is so much fun to work with kids, reporters great idea that age group loves adventures. detectives another idea.you could put words in a bag pull them out and write mysteries about that word, a story where they are the detective investigating. i remember a bracelett that we made long ago that had different beads on it it respesented Christ died for us had different color of beads black red white seems like there was another color had a great story told as we made the bracelett will ask my daughter when she gets home maybe she will remember how it goes together and i'll get back to you. we did it with small children. in CHRIST, CAROLYN I REMEBER MAKING ONE IN SCOUTS TOO, BUT IT HAD A DIFFERENT MEANING. THEY ARE CUTE BRACLETTS EVEN THE BOYS LIKED THEM

i will be praying that God will give you the strength you need to overcome the depression and he will, call on his name, we can do all things through Christ you are Gods child,and the devil is a liar remember that. in Christ, carolyn

hi everyone, i have a problem and need advice from anyone who can give it right now. let me start at the begining my children and i attend church,great right. well heres the problem we take neighbor kids along as many as my car allows and have been doing that for a long time. we've had argument between children but they always seem to work themselves out. the last year a little girl and her sister have been riding to church with us. i have trouble with the 5 year old she is very bossy, she doesn't mind so for awhile i wouldnt let her come i felt so bad because her sister came, i wouldnt take the little one because she is so mean to the other kids. forgot to mention they also go to scouts with us. this little girl runs around will not listen to anyone. we took her out to eat at a fast food resturant my daughter came to the counter to help carry things back to the table, in that few minutes she had came to help me carry the food, she emptied out a salt shaker on the table not much in it but still. i feel terrible for saying you cant go to church with us. someone please help. their is no help at her home believe me i've tried they tell my daughter she only a baby. in Christ, carolyn
