It’s your lifeline: better get used to it. (Continued from last edition)Have you wondered why you get sleepy when you want to study the bible? Your flesh doesn’t like it; it doesn’t appeal to it. Moreover, the devil knows its importance and will always try to stop you from studying the scriptures. The bible tells us that ‘the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak’. This tells you that the

It’s your lifeline: better get used to it!What am I talking about here? I’m talking about that singular key that will open the door to immeasurable joy and fulfillment in life. This treasure is what many have sought but never found. But guess what? You have had it at your disposal for years and you have possibly never known what a great possession you have. Many have risked death

My mum is just impossible!‘She doesn’t seem to understand me. She turns everything I say against me. At times, I even wonder if she was the one who gave birth to me. She cares at times, but is mostly on the attacking side. If I had another place to go, I would be happy to relieve her of the burden of being stuck with me.’ Is this something you’ve said before?

Are your feet on the ground?When I see him, I cannot control myself anymore, I just get all so excited. Oh my! When she shakes my hand, I feel some terrific sensations run down my whole body. The way he smiles at me gives my heart a double flip and I develop goose pimples immediately. Hey guys! Hey girls! Is there somebody, somewhere, whose presence, gesture, or touch

I’m tired of waiting!Oops! There it comes. It’s a common phrase with Christians at one time or the other in their lives. A time comes when you just can’t seem to hold on anymore. God has promised you some beautiful things but they aren’t forth coming. You want to quit, right? You feel like giving up hope! Possibly your scholarship fund hasn’t been sent and you’re wondering how your school fees

Do I really need friends?I wonder why you would ask that question in the first place. Could it be because you’re independent and you feel you can cope with your problems alone? Or is it because your so-called friends have hurt you before? Or is it because you have so many friends now, and you’re wondering what the big deal is?If you want to know my opinion on

I know it’s wrong, but I enjoy doing it!I’m sure you’ve said that at one time or the other before. Maybe you just said it this morning, who knows? You’re not alone. I’ve said it before, and I’m sure countless numbers of believers have said the same too at one time or the other. So, what habit is peculiar to you?Is it masturbation? You don’t like the thought of doing it but you just can’t

August 16th, 1962 18:30“Mum, I’m fifteen years old now. I am now a big girl, and I should be able to entertain male visitors. I don’t like the way dad walked Mason out of the house yesterday when he saw him holding him. I love Mason mum. Is it wrong to love someone?”Stephanie waited for her mother to respond, but she kept quiet. “Mum! Did you hear anything I said at all?”“I heard you dear. I was

It’s not really cheating, is it?Oh! So what do we call it? Do we call it copying, or networking, or lending a helping hand, or what? Cheating is cheating, no matter what form it takes. Do you cheat dear? Have you succeeded in writing an examination without accepting or rendering assistance to someone? If your answer is no, then please ride along with me.You might want to

Jogging and panting all the way down 3rd avenue road, Max couldn’t stop the flow of tears down his cheeks. Sobbing out loud, in between painful breaths, Max kept remembering his father’s words.“You’re the biggest fool I’ve ever known. Your brother, Sammy, is doing well in medical school, your sister, Martha, was the valedictorian of her high school class. Even your younger sister, Tamar, has

Ken, lying on the red sofa in the cozy family room, was deep in thoughts. He had transferred to his present high school after his 8th grade. In his few weeks in the school, Ken had noticed a quiet and responsible girl in class who he respected and admired.Now in his 12th grade and just about to graduate from high school, Ken couldn’t still get his mind off Stacy. They had grown fond of each other

I am very unstable in my relationship with God; hot today, cold tomorrow. I’m tired of this cycle! What do you suggest I do?Friend, it’s only the grace and mercy of God that can keep a man permanently on fire for God. We are all fortunate however because both are always available to us (2Cor 12:9, Ps 106:1)Just as 2Cor 12:9 says, God’s grace will be sufficient for you and He’ll help all your

I was sexually abused by my uncle repeatedly as a child. I live with shame, guilt and bitterness. Will anybody want to love me later in life if they know about my past?You are a very strong girl.

I’m already sexually active with my boyfriend. We hope to get married, so is there anything wrong in that? And if it’s wrong, how do I tell him without losing him?Hey! It takes a lot of sincerity to ask what you’ve just asked, more so, seeing you don’t want to lose or hurt this boyfriend of yours.To your first question; caressing, cuddling, smooching, petting, and sex itself are all ungodly.
