Why is it taking me so long to grow as a Christian? I’ve been a believer for a while, and I have to confess that my lack of spiritual progress has really got me down. When I was born again, I thought life was going to be beautiful from that moment forward, but several years …
What is the best way to communicate the Gospel message to the “millennial” generation? Our church has committed itself to reaching out to this group, but I’m concerned about what I perceive as a tendency to “broaden” the Gospel’s appeal to twenty-somethings by watering it down and removing all references to sin, repentance, and judgment. …

I’m 18, single, and pregnant, but I don’t want to release my baby for adoption. Why should I? I could never give up my child to strangers who might turn out to be weird and abusive. Besides, my parents have already promised to help me (they don’t approve of adoption anyway). I’ve even got a …
