Q: I am Christian but I am pretty sure my brother just joined a cult (that claims to be Christian).  The way they are doing things is evil and wrong. Their beliefs are twisted and not of the Bible. They call it a CLUB but they are mentoring people & teaching them some modern messed up version of the Bible that is false.  Its not a popular group. Its a small local group. I cant even find it on Google or anything. He calls it a 9-5 group. They somehow combined Christianity & modern day spirituality with an added & massive amount of greed and ignorance. He is blocked on every social media acct and phone # etc that I have. He abused me as a child so we have gone no contact a while ago, but I still talk to his children’s mother and my mom talks to him. Like I already disowned him. I asked them to keep him away from me and out of my life, and not to talk about me to him or about me, and I don’t want to hear about him either.  He claims he is praying for us all to lo...

Q: Our niece who is a professing believer, has a child and is living with her baby daddy. They both work, but she keeps asking to borrow money every week, sometimes multiple times a week, for different amounts. She not only asks us, she also asks multiple members of the family for all different reasons and amounts.  My husband and I are very conflicted about this.

But I’m starting to feel used and that she may not be using the money for what she says they need it for The things she usually asks money for is gas, the dentist to get her teeth fixed, or car issues/repairs. It’s usually between those reasons. Where do we draw a line or do we set boundaries. Are there any scriptures that may lead me in the right direction. I’m g...

We need help. now. Our hours at work have been drastically cut, so we have almost no food, and our bills are behind. For 2 weeks I've been eating one meal every other day.  So if you could pray for me & my husband, and give ideas.... I would appreciate it. A: Glad to help... First, if you have a car, sign up to work for all delivery services you can. Uber drive, Uber eats, Door Dash, & local food delivery service similar, and instacart [you shop and drive here> but take any decent bid offer and work well at the job, as if to the Lord, and go the extra mile, even if they do not add any extra tip.  If any services dont allow you to sign at multiple places, only sign at the ones that don't try to monopolize you.  You get paid a gig fee to do the job, (which is 🙃 commonly labeled as be a tip). Be polite and kind to the folk you deliver to. If after you deliver the goods or transport the people, the customer might give an extra tip, but you are not entitled to o...
