Hey Guys! biggrin
I need some advice,
Ive been asking some of my friends, and ofcourse God, but still am feeling kinda lost.
Okay so first problemo,
My friend is slipping from his faith. Hes been raised in a Christian family and has always been supported well with his faith, the other day he told me hes doubting it all. Not only is he doubting it but he said hes finished with it. Hes tyring to find a fault with everything including bible verses and church services.
Hes one of my closest friends and i would just really appriciate it if you could pray for people who are slipping away. I want to try to help him but he sticks with his views and its really getting me down, so yeah please pray! biggrin
Also,
Okay so you know how difficult relationships can be? Well since when have they been easy?! But im really confused over this particular matter...
Ive got a friend and he keeps asking me out and weve known each other noe for about a year. The problems are though, hes not a christian and im always doubting his motives. Now seems pritty simple, just dont go out with him! But i do like him, im just worried about getting hurt/hurting him as i always seem to do that.
Now its not only this, My ex-boyfriend and i are like best friends, and i keep thinking if only we didnt split up, and i think i still have feelings for him.
Its really difficult cos my ex is a commited christian but i feel as if we get on loadz better as friends, im just worried that i might loose him if i go out with this other guy.
Oohhhh its all so confusing! And actually dont really think many people care, i just really needed 2 get this off my chest and hear (okay well read) some advice... Please!
God Bless x x x

God Bless x x x It really doesn't matter if you date a fellow Christian or a non-Christian It doesn't matter...let me hear you say it a few times...It doesn't matter. your friend is exploring the world around him...try it out...it wont kill you. So what if he finds something he thinks is better than being a Christian. remember...It doesn't matter. Good, see your catching on. ya know you'll never know what your ex is thinking unless you ASK him. It's one of those silly communication things ya know. And the last thing you should worry about is hurting someone or getting hurt. That’s what happens in relationships. There is nothing you can do to not get hurt or hurt someone else. Relationships are about working through the not so fun times and sharing the joy of all the good times. remember that love is unconditional its a lesson the authors of the bible missed

Hi!
Of course we care! Last time I checked, you have some brothers and sisters in Christ hanging around here!
Sorry to hear about your friend! And as Lordstar pointed out, your friend is exploring the world around him. Although we can get ourselves into some trouble out there, God knows each and every one of us and what it will take for us to understand the beauty of following after him wholeheartedly. For some of us, this means we spend a little time in the dirt. While I'm not saying it is a great idea, I'm saying it is common and in the end could really help strengthen his faith! I'll definitely pray for him, because the other side of the scenario is of course that he never returns to his faith in God! It is a tragic possibility. So what can you do? Be steadfast, be consistent, patient, truthful and loving regardless of what he ends up doing. I think that kind of interaction is the most influential thing you can contribute to what your friend is going through right now.
As for your ex, perhaps one day you'll end up together or perhaps God has something even more amazing planned for the both of you that you haven't even considered! Only time will tell. If you are loads better as friends as you say, go with that! Building an amazing friendship, even if it never moves into the realm of a husband and wife relationship, will never be a bad thing! And don't worry...if God's got this guy set aside as your husband, you really will end up together! Just calm down and trust in God! Oftentimes the drama of the circumstance is less important than how you deal with it! God very seldom speaks through that panicky voice in your mind.
Lordstar sums it up well! In both these situations, DO remember love is unconditional! That's the kind of love we all need most, the kind that comes from God alone. It is the same love we see communicated throughout Scripture, the same love we are called to reflect to a world that needs it so bad!

i know wat u mean everyone does this at some point the best thing to do in my opinion is dont let the devil change yer mind he works in many ways through your eyes where it seems like it cant b true because of something u c through your friends them tryin to pressure u into doin something u know is wrong and many other ways including your mind the devil knows wat we think and he is always goin to fiddle with it tryin to get u to think my faith is wrong well u know wat i say DONT LET HIM GET TO YOU its part of human nature it seems to doubt things , but were not meant to know it all there wuz a reason God told adam and eve not to eat the fruit from the tree and just like then the devil came in and tricked eve into thinkin it wouldnt hurt
no matter wat the surcumstances r nevr give on on yer faith without faith and without God we r nothing
