We're all sooooo desperately in need of a Savior[/b]...I don't care if we have been a Christian 30 years (I do that that I don't want to do....said that great Paul)... Why do we forget this? Accept the grace yet again.....you're gonna keep needing it til you die..... Humbles you, if you're honest, and keeps you from being self righteous and judgemental....Lot of that goin on here I noticed....Oh well.....such is life Jesus, Jesus ...more of Jesus.....

This is a confusing age for children 13-19 (esp girls)... I went through it with my own.... Things did not get better until I decided to love her through it...and not judge her....we have to be the parent and see the bigger picture... At 15, my daughter left to go stay with my sister...I called her one day and said, "no matter what you do, I do not hate you, judge you, or blame you and I will always be here for you no matter what." She came home that night. And I learned to listen, REALLY listen to her...and to not worry about all the Christian expectations, or what kind of a parent it made me look like, if my kids weren't perfect. I told her every single day after that, that I thought she was absolutely beautiful inside and out. Today, she is 20. She leads worship (music) at church with her fiance...and she is one of my closest friends and I believe I am one of hers. Take heart, God isn't done with her yet. This is part of her "natural" separation from you (ya, not done in the best way I know)...It is part of the growing up , and growing out...the longing for independence....If she does not go through this, she will still be living at home at 35 :-) Temper it as an ADULT...pick your battles, but mostly LOVE her and be wise for her.....She needs your love and acceptance now more than ever... ....sometimes it takes a village to grow a child.... :-)

And then there are those who do lay a hand on you, abuse you mentally and verbally and are still practicing in the church. Point is, a lot of controlling and abusive men look for women who are Christians because they know they can do whatever they want and get away with it. Now I have 3 amazing brothers who are all exceptional husbands and truly Godly men...I thank God for their example. It means everything to me, and gives me hope. Enough said by me. I, too, am sincerely praying for you.

Of course you should remarry...do NOT be ridiculous and do not listen to garbage that is clothed in righteousness, but is not from God. Absolutely , of course, you should remarry and DO NOT listen to anyone who tells you can't. I know FOR SURE you are allowed to and God will bless it. DO NOT add yet another 40 years of lies to your life. Praise the Lord Jesus....Your Savior and mine....

Hi, I'm just wondering what this is all about?

I think when people believe they are God (New age teachings....God is in all and we are all connected and we are all God),(they "proclaim themself to be God").... this is a strong delusion...and they don't believe the Christ has come in the flesh ("It is the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a man is the antichrist"
