Q: Need suggestions regards of myself and my own healing as I’m soon to be 28 and I have zero friends, no job and am disappointed in life.  I have friends from high school or middle school and I don’t keep in contact as they started their own lives or I’m always put on the back burner or they just moved away and had their own lives. It’s been 10+ years since I had a female (same sex) friend seems like after I got a relationship the timing wasn’t good or he would disapprove of. Or they wouldn’t stick and end up treating me horrible such as A. Being my friend and stealing B. Being a friend and trying to get with my partner. Or C both. Either way I haven’t had the best situation with getting or having friends within my adult years!  It’s been very rough. I feel such regret and pain even hate and jealousy which I know isn’t what a person should be. I just don’t know how to to deal with I had a kid after a great job and lost it (was fired for maternity leave) and I felt that was ...

Q: I am 34 years old man, born and raised most of my life as an ultra-Orthodox Jew and about seven months ago I was blessed and born again and baptized into the Lord. AndI left the ultra-Orthodox community I was living in in New Jersey and moved to Dallas, Texas so that I could grow more in my Christian faith and grow with Jesus. As an ultra-Orthodox Jew, I had a well-paid, well-paying job that I could both live on and send to my children who live in Israel. As soon as I came to faith, I had to quit my job, which I happily did and moved to Dallas without any other job. Today, after six months, I still haven't been able to find a good job in Dallas for all sorts of reasons, and the main reason is that as an ultra-Orthodox Jew, I don't even have a high school diploma. And I've reached a point where I'm just giving up and I'm going to go back to my friends from the Haredi community next week to help me look for a job with them, but that will mean that I'll have to,...

Re: trust & faith husband isn't committing any form of sexual sin with female partner in firefighter/police/military/similar or any job Q:  Need godly advice. I have trust issues, so I’m not sure if that is getting in the way of how I’m thinking right now. My husband is a firefighter. Currently, he has a female partner who is single and has messed up and knowingly had an affair with someone. I understand that is her past and can’t hold that to her now. Anyway, my husband started to tell little lies, but it went on for 7 months before he told me the truth. It wasn’t anything bad, but hiding chewing from me, when I asked what he bought, since he used a card he would lie to my face and stuff like that. He also texted his female partner drunk, nothing sexual. He’s just overly nice to her. Texting her to have a great vacation and birthday, telling her happy birthday he hopes she has the best day. All that said, I just need some Godly advice. I know it’s not cheating, but I kinda fe...

Q: Some people have asked me if it is ok to just listen to solid reputable sermons online instead of going to church? * Usually this comes from those who work on Sunday either saying it is the schedule the boss put them on (such as truck and delivery drivers, food service, or emergency service employees), or to make extra money getting paid double time. A: The core of their problem is a heart issue. What is more important? Obeying God and worshipping together as a local congregation or money at your job? Because the truth is these folk are prioritizing money (and possibly greed) over obeying God. God will always provide for us but we need to be at church on Sunday. For very few it is a hand to mouth situation by having that job. For the majority it is about accumulating money to have this and that [wants not needs]. Change is needed. For some this might involve some sacrifice [such as in non USA countries (because in US we have religious rights carved into our Constitution)]. For t...
