Q: Should we consider our kids missionaries sent unto the world to be the light, such as sending thrm to public schools?  A: No. Parents who think like this arent thinking from a child's level, and dont understand real spiritual warfare. Kids and teens [even college age] are highly impressionable & thus easily led astray by peer pressure or athiestic teachers deception. The kid is probably not even saved, and if by chance they are, theyre not mature enough, nor know Scripture deep enough, and are not equipped to do missionary work.  "I want to give my kids chances to be missionaries" is the worst argument made by Christian parents sending their kids to Caesar. And that's saying a lot.  And it's often said about children who couldn't clearly share the gospel or otherwise defend their faith if their life depended on it. - Pastor Mike Stone  Kids: salt and light in public schools?

Q: Please pray for me. I have been fantasizing taking my life to go be with Jesus.  I’ve lost my way in the past 6 months  Ended up being dependent on alcohol and painkillers to the point where I have been admitted to hospital and now diagnosed with multiple chronic stomach ulcers.  I now live everyday physically in pain  No appetite  Weak and lethargic because of my iron deficiency anemia that has gotten worse because of the ulcers.  I’m 32  No kids , no husband.  I was engaged for 5 years but now I’m single. I feel like I am worth more dead than alive.  I really need God to intervene. A: Do not automatically believe that if you willingly take your life that you will be with Jesus. Some folk are not saved but think they are, as self decieved. A belief in God or Jesus or embracing a false Gospel wint save you. It's why Scripture calls us to examine ourselves to see if we really are in the Faith . I say this in love, as it may be...

Q: How to handle a family situation when a sibling or relative says theyre now transgender (or "whatever") & now wants/demands you to call them a different pronoun. Dealing with this issue currently with my sister and need advice.  A: Lots of MZ Gen kids and young adults are dealing with this identity crisis because of the sex cults infiltration in public schools over last 15  yrs, and went full force under the Obama and Biden administration, and with their blessing.  This video clip addresses the core issue in a nutshell.  Bowing to their pronoun demands, is getting Satan to get you to lie, and sin against God. The answer is to call them what God created them as xx or xy. If they have male chromosome at all, theyre male. Tell them, "It would violate my love for God and you to call you anything other than [she/her].  This will also equip you well on this topic from a biblical perspective in truth. And this can help in how you respond and behave around the...

Q: I could use some prayers and/or Bible verses.  I've created a very safe, little bubble for myself over the years (due to trauma), and whenever big (and good!) changes come my way "to pop the bubble", my anxiety and nerves shoot through the roof. I just recently got a new job after being unemployed for over a year, and it's a job that I prayed for. I don't know if it's imposter syndrome trying to set in or a fear of failing or both, but whatever it is, I don't feel like I'm good enough for the job, I'm scared that it won't work out, I'm scared that my new employer will think I'm stupid, I'm scared of making mistakes, etc. I'm having all of these thoughts and I can't go back to my safe bubble. A: God calls Christians out of their comfort zone. Were nit to hide in the barracks when we are soldiers of the Lord, serving and following Jesus. We're enlisted in His Army, and in a spiritual battle. That includes not living fir...

Q: Can you please pray for me? I took a step of faith to leave an abusive marriage. It’s caused me mental health issues.  He has cheated twice. He is verbally/mentally abusive. It actually almost cost me my life and I wouldn’t be here with my kids if it wasn’t for God pulling me through that. God didn’t tell me to divorce but feel its right for me to separate. Also, I have been supporting our family financially 9 yrs. He has not contributed. I will not renew my lease here so that he won’t help out. The Bible is also clear on boundaries isnt it? The gaslighting, manipulation was too much. I will leave till next month and the days feel long.  He continues to try to pick a fight. He says I’m a promiscuous woman and sleep with other people when this entire marriage I have never cheated on this man and it’s frustrating. He also tells me "I am not covered by God’s protection" since im leaving him. We have had many counselors within church and outside of church. I believe God will ...

Q: My husband bought a swing set for the kids, which I had no idea until I saw him and an employee bringing the packages into the backyard.  After they got everything in the backyard and he was opening it up he noticed it had a lot of pieces so I asked him how can I help and then he told me what he needed help with so I set up a picnic blanket outside and put the baby on it to play with some toys (we have a 9 month old, a 4 and 6 year old together and a 13 and 18 year old from his previous relationships).  Around dinner time and with us still building the set ...I ordered the kids pizza for dinner because I wouldn’t have time to make dinner. When the pizza arrived the order was wrong and I was annoyed because it happened the last time I ordered but I set up the kids with their pizza then I went back in the backyard where he and his son who is 13 were and I was telling him about how the pizza order was wrong and he got upset with me and told me he doesn’t want to hear about it...

Q: Will one go to hell if they marry a non believer? A: Are you asking if God will approve of and be ok with you living in rebellious sin towards God's command (for believers to only unite with other believers)?  I cant fathom why any true Christian would even consider that thought let alone pursue that path to destruction. It's actually a premeditated plotting of a sin crime against God.  Your life will be ruined if you pursue that, and God won't hear your prayers since you are living in willful sin. Once married to him your stuck in perpetual sin. Your life and marriage wont be blessed. You wint Go to Hell but you will be living in hell on earth for 80 years. Why would anyone in their right mind do that?  There is no blessing in such a sinful union.  Heres helpful info for you to go through to further guide you avoid going down that wrong path.
