My Parents Treat Poor People Badly, What Do I Do?
thebridgechicago:
Anonymous asked: There’s something that disturbs me. It regards feeding the poor. My family, who claim to be Christians, are…well, selfish and have an Osteen mindset, to put it nicely. We’ll go to a restaurant, and there will be some poor homeless fella begging us for even just a penny, and my family will be ignoring him like he’s invisible. And then when I give something, I...

by Paul Washer
First of all, a young woman may pursue a relationship with the opposite sex only after she has embraced adulthood and it’s responsibilities. You’re going to be looking for a woman that’s not just beautiful, because she might just have no character whatsoever, but someone who has embraced adulthood. Biblical adulthood, she doesn’t want to be a child. She doesn’t...

When the relationship with God has broken down
unkaglen:
Anonymous asked: I’m in a bit of a fix lately. Long story short, I feel like I fell out of love with God. I was in a place where I needed him to come through for me, and he didn’t, then I got angry, then I got bitter, then I stopped talking with Him altogether. I know it’s the wrong thing to do- but it gave me a sense of confidence, and I feel like I’m truly finding myself lately. I...

Things I'd Like To Buy:
Your Gay Friend’s Guide To Understanding Men for Izzi. (Nowhere near as kitsch-y and “anecdotal” as it sounds. Seriously. It was actually such a convicting read. If you have a Kindle, you can get it for free this week.)
“The Fault In Our Stars”. Dillon said that he’d put me on the train to get it next. But if that doesn’t happen, I’ll just buy it...
myisrael asked: I will never sing Workin' at the Car Wash the same way again...
Oh, and I think I lost my card.
Again.
…whoo.
TMI To Danni
I dunno what’s going on, but I must be wearing a shirt or a look that says, “Please, divulge your innermost secrets to me even though I barely know you.”
In the past two days:
This kid I knew from Business Law, Owen, sat down with me to have the first conversation I’ve ever had with him… and used it to go into explicit detail of every sexual encounter he’s...
someone: Can I touch your hair?
me: yeah, sure.
someone: WOW, IT FEELS LIKE....LIKE...
me: no. you don't wanna do that. don't compare it to anything.
All the time.
ALL THE TIME.
Sheep, brillo, cotton...
It's not amusing anymore.

Modesty, Lust, And Emotional Rape.
The slow thud of pounding bass through my bedroom walls shook me half-awake. I kept my face in my pillow and wondered why it was necessary for music this loud to be played in our family’s home at 7am on Saturday mornings. I pulled my comforter back over...

Q&A... What's Up With Lent?
leeyounger:
cousined asked:
Hey Bilbro Baggins. I was talking at my lunch table today with some kids and they were talking about lent. I know what it is but like hearing their opinions. I don’t do lent just cause I wasn’t raised with it. So, lent. Yes, no maybe so? Biblical? I’m a little confused on it especially because the non-practicing Christians/catholics/whatever’s who don’t normally...

No, Chick-fil-A on a Monday night with your church bulletin is not a valid first date.
All of the boys keep tripping around me. Probably because I’m a human stumbling block

Jesus broke up my relationship!
unkaglen:
two-nineteen asked: Hi Unka Glen! I broke up with a boy I dated for quite awhile because I realized I wanted (and needed) a Christ-centered relationship. He is apathetic towards religion, and for some reason I thought that might change as our relationship went on. No surprise it didn’t, but that’s all in the past. That being said, he’s not over it and blames our breakup on our...

Q&A... On Finding A Vision For Your Life!
leeyounger:
youmakemewannabebrave asked:
Hey Lee, I was just wondering if you had any advice on how to find/get a vision for your life and for what God wants you to do or what your gifts/talents are? - I’ve just graduated university, and now I feel completely lost as to what I’m going to do with the rest of my life. I’m applying for jobs that kinda seem like they’d be worthwhile, but I just...

I hereby challenge myself to get INTO THE WORD like a CLUE FINDER.
And I need your help!
Give me a verse, a chapter, a story, a BOOK! Whatever is your favourite!

the impending springtime makes me miss New England. and i swore i wouldn’t say that. oh well.

thanks for the chat, dillon.

Obligatory mysterious post about my social life.
When Jacob kissed Rachel,
jessieminor1:
He wept aloud.
There is so much beauty in this image. To be so moved by the simple kiss of a woman he just met, but knew he loved. He went on to work for seven years to gain her hand in marriage. And he loved her so that it was like no time at all. He knew that God would bring them together, and He did. It wasn’t an easy wait, actually it was kind of crappy. He got tricked into...
