Support for Parents of Child Who Says He’s Gay

How do we cope with the emotional impact of our son’s recent revelation that he considers himself gay? This whole thing has thrown me into an emotional tailspin; I find myself weeping, praying, raging, and blaming myself by turns. I can honestly say that I’ve never felt so bewildered and confused. We love our son, …

Biblical Basis for Giving to the Poor

What does the Bible have to say about poverty and giving to the poor? I want to have a God-honoring attitude on this matter, but to be honest, as a new Christian I’ve been confused by some of the differing opinions and ideas I’ve heard. Do you consider this kind of activity to be an …

Church, State, and the Idea of a “Christian Nation”

What is a “Christian nation?” I’m increasingly confused on this point. I do think believers should be deeply involved in the political process. As a matter of fact, I’m sick of hearing about “separation of church and state,” and I’d love to see America become more thoroughly “Christian” in every way. At the same time, …

I’ve been clinging to this verse since losing my job, but it doesn’t seem to have done me and my family much good. Over the past several months we’ve lost our home, our car, …

What the Bible Says About Hell

How does the love of Jesus line up with the idea of a God who condemns people to an eternity of suffering? I’d become a believer in a heartbeat if it weren’t for the “mean streak” I find running through so many aspects of the Christian faith. Do you really expect me to give my …
