Do what you can now to give your unborn child the best life possible

I'm pregnant, and now my boyfriend wants nothing to do with me. I thought having a baby would bring us together, but it didn't. Now I have to decide if I'm going to keep the baby or have an abortion. I'm so confused. Nothing is turning out the way I hoped it would. What should I do?

By yielding to temptation, you hurt yourself – and God

I suppose you've heard the old saying that "I can resist everything but temptation." Well, that's certainly true of me. I know I'm not living the way I should, but I don't seem to be able to do anything about it. Any suggestions?

Be open to what God wants to do in your life

My girlfriend keeps bugging me about going to church with her, but to be honest, I don't feel any need for religion, and neither do most of my friends. It would be hypocritical for me to pretend otherwise, wouldn't it?

Despite your disabilities, don't lose contact with your church

I can't get around very easily because of some physical disabilities. They've gotten worse recently, and now I've had to stop going to my church because it isn't handicapped accessible. Will God understand why I don't go anymore?

Jesus’ miracles demonstrated His divinity

Why did Jesus perform all those miracles? From what I can tell, they didn't convince most people that He was the Son of God, and anyway He didn't heal everyone He met, did He?

Writing a will can reveal our fear of death

Our children want us to see a lawyer and draw up a will, but we don't see any need for this. We aren't wealthy, and we think they can sort things out once we're gone. After all, Jesus didn't have a will, did He? So why should we bother?

Only Christ is the way and the truth and the life

What right do we have to send missionaries to people in other parts of the world, trying to get them to believe the way we do? They have their own religions, and we ought to let them alone and not disrupt their lives with our beliefs.

The longer we live a life of sin, the harder it is to repent

My nephew says he plans to have fun in life and not bother with God right now, because he knows God will forgive him if he asks Him to, even if it's at the last minute. I told him he's being foolish, but am I right?

Seek God’s guidance as you face an important decision

I'm facing an important decision, and I'd do whatever God wants me to do -- if I only knew how to find out. How do you discover what God wants you to do?

Evil is powerful, but not with Christ by your side

Did God put something inside us that's supposed to tell us what's right and what's wrong? If He did, then why do some people not even seem to have a conscience? They go out and do terrible things without even thinking.

You can help your boyfriend realize his need for Christ

My boyfriend went to church with me the other day, and afterward he said he didn't like it very much because the preacher kept talking about our need for God's forgiveness. He says he doesn't feel like such a terrible sinner. How should I respond?

When temptations come, God is ready to help you

I'm really scared because I'm due to get out of jail in a couple of months, and I know I don't have what it takes to stay out of trouble. I know I'll just end up here again, like I have before. Please pray for me.
