Advice & Discussions
Can it work if he's really Christian and I'm not?
He comes from a very religious family. My family is Catholic but most of us don't really attend church. I recently started going to church with my friends a bit for the youth group. But I didn't really go for any religious reason- I went to meet people and I saw this guy and thought he was really cute and nice and funny, etc.
Finding love in a christian youth group.
I met up with an old friend of mines who loves to go to her church's youth group every Wednesday. We caught up with each other at school, and I expressed my apologies about not going into youth group for the past year since I drifted away and being busy with my then-boyfriend.
A questions for Christians on here: adultery and word of God.
A sister in the church I go to, and my mom's friend, had contacted me and told me verses in Proverbs that are relating to adultery and said the Lord told her to tell me this. In essence this Proverb is saying that if you play with fire you'll get burned and not to mess around with a married woman.
If you're not christian don't bother
I can't seem to find anyone that could help me with this, so even though I didn't want to put this here I am anyway. This is going to be kind of long, so I'm sorry. When I was 10 years old I believed that I had a word from God. It was the only time I had ever thought that God had spoken to me.
Christian Life Vs. Secular Life
I believe that a Christian life is more exciting than a secular life. The first reason is because Christian reality is twice as big as secular reality. The inner spiritual life of having a relationship with Jesus can give meaning and purpose to even the most mundane activities of life.
