anyone else have any bright ideas? party is tomorrow... :o

these encouraging comments are very true. God cares for you more than you can imagine or dream of and he can turn your 'dust' into His 'dreams', that is he will carry out His plans for you. read phillipians. i failed my 1st ever surgical exam at med…

thanks for your recommendations. this is a great program broadcast yesterday on bbc4 (uk cable channel) about the history of Christianity. unusually for a west european secular perspective, the coptic church gets a mention! also fairly accurate, if,…

just in case u thought my thoughts were original (i just pass on what i learn..), here is one direct from a lovely priest in north england: (it's an imagination, not exactly true!) Satan called a world-wide convention. In his opening address to his…

no u r not going to hell. u repented before God, and u r obviously sorry coz u told all of us about it! that is what matters, God sees your heart. as sodr2 says, keep working at this and God will help u in your weakness. God is not going to look at …

doh! didn't see that! remember also v6 'in all yr ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths' ya'ani, you have to think about God at every turn in your life, so when your friend says 'well done you passed the test', you can say (eg) 'i thank…

a good way to fight depression and low motivation is to help other people out with their problems. oh, look, you're already doing that by answering people's posts on tasbeha.org! bravo, now you need to read part of the Bible every day, and talk to G…

all the patriarchs do still have various discussions with each other about EO/OO unity, sometimes officially and sometimes unofficially. lets pray for this, that Christians will all grow closer in our relatioship to God. btw i attended a russian ort…

i agree with dare with boldness' tips, also plan other stuff with your friends so alcohol can't be involved. so (eg) agree to hang out around the shops with them saturday lunchtime and share packed lunch or buy chips (idk if u guys are rich and eat …

sounds like she has a good support network. so maybe your role is just to pray and advise your friend when she is stressed about her sister. maybe also your friends' sis would benefit from hanging out with you guys as well, in a bigger group, esp if…

i understand a bit about this as i was only 2 or 3 pounds heavier that this lady when i was 18. (am now a massive 12 pounds heavier ;) at the same height.) i was never fat, but tended to rush off after dinner to do things and never have a second he…

hi, brother you answered yourself, yes it's not good to angry with them, i know it can be irritating but God loves them!

dear brothers, i am not an expert on this, but psalm 26(27):14 says 'wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.' i have met people who have waited years for their estranged children to get in touch, i myself couldn't get in t…

:D ha ha! i have silly dreams too! i haven't been the pope yet (i think a female one is really unlikely) but i have done great things in my dreams. it just means i have too much pride ;) i think praying more before sleep is the answer to having st…

i would like 'thoak ta te gom' (yours is the power and the glory and the blessing and the majesty) when i die, so i'll have to die during holy week! it has a really cheerful tune and i hope it may console those who are left behind. btw i am not abo…

i would like to add that many normal teenagers go through a phase of liking the same gender. the modern culture in developed countries says that 'anything goes' so they think if you feel a warm flush in your chest as you look at someone that must me…

hi who are these dodgy copts you know? i have visited 5 coptic churches (in uk) in addition to my own, and had no trouble for having white skin and speaking terrible arabic! there's no big deal if someone says they are jewish by birth but not by rel…

when i was 12 a teacher taught us this song she wrote, based on the psalms: sorry u'll have to write your own music; i don't think i can upload it! i love the Lord because He hears me, i love the Lord, He listens to my prayer, he listens to me eve…

history lession (edited from my previous post in may): "until the year 451, the churches were all together. everyone was catholic and orthodox and very very evangelical (spreading the good news about Jesus). there were some heretics, like arians, a…
