You were at the mercy of someone who had none. You bear the marks, though hidden from sight. It wasn’t your fault. The shame you experience in this matter is false. But that’s not how it feels.</p><p><a href="http://whataboutjesus.com/whats-society/morality/how-do-i-recover-rape" target="_blank">read more</a></p> </article> <article> <h1>I feel like ending my life...</h1> <p>gravitek — Wed, 16 May 2012 16:18:48 +0000</p> <div class="field field-type-filefield field-field-image"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> </div> </div> </div> <p>In our daily journey called life, we have days that fill us with happiness, and days that fill us with sorrow. For many of us, there are more days filled with sorrow and loneliness, which can lead us to feel like ending our life's journey. These continuous feelings can be overwhelming and make us feel like the journey isn't worth the travel. <br /><p><a href="http://whataboutjesus.com/what-about-my-family/death/i-feel-ending-my-life" target="_blank">read more</a></p> </article> <article> <h1>Overcoming Discouragement</h1> <p>gravitek — Sun, 22 Apr 2012 23:02:02 +0000</p> <div class="field field-type-filefield field-field-image"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> </div> </div> </div> <p><strong>Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand.

The caption reads, "Too bad children don't come with instructions."<br /><br />Every parent is faced with many dilemmas, frustrations, and heartaches throughout life, and it seems like sometimes there is nowhere to turn for "The Instructions." <br /><br />But in actuality instructions ARE available. It's just that so many parents either don't know or overlook the instructions. It's called the Word of God. <br /><p><a href="http://whataboutjesus.com/what-about-my-family/relationships/parenting" target="_blank">read more</a></p> </article> <article> <h1>How does Satan tempt us?</h1> <p>gravitek — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 17:31:12 +0000</p> <div class="field field-type-filefield field-field-image"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> </div> </div> </div> <p>Think of someone who is close to you.

The more time we spend with that individual, the more we know him or her.<br /> <br /> Satan also knows us well. But the way he knows us is different from the way God knows us. God knows us because he knows everything. <br /> <p><a href="http://whataboutjesus.com/what-about-my-life/faith/how-does-satan-tempt-us" target="_blank">read more</a></p> </article> <article> <h1>Perfection</h1> <p>gravitek — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 06:08:00 +0000</p> <div class="field field-type-filefield field-field-image"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> </div> </div> </div> <p>A group of special friends comes over for dinner. You spend hours preparing for the meal. You vacuum your house or apartment. You bring out the best dishes in your cabinet. You want everything to be just perfect. Any food improperly cooked, or signs of a dirty house, could take away from the specialness of the evening. Everything must be perfect. Whether we are putting on a new roof, adding a hot tub, or a child carrying out a chore, we expect the job to be well done, not slipshod. <br /> <p><a href="http://whataboutjesus.com/whats-society/morality/perfection" target="_blank">read more</a></p> </article> <article> <h1>What Is God's Role for a Husband?</h1> <p>gravitek — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 18:05:57 +0000</p> <div class="field field-type-filefield field-field-image"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> </div> </div> </div> <p>Before we can answer that specific question, we have to take a step back and remind ourselves what responsibilities God has given to all his children, not just to husbands. In the fifth chapter of the book of Ephesians, St. Paul reminds all of God’s people to mimic their heavenly Father by living lives of love. This love, he goes on to explain will often show itself in the way each Christian will put the needs of others ahead of his or her own. This submission to others is a mutual submission and always an expression of love.<br /> <p><a href="http://whataboutjesus.com/what-about-my-family/relationships/what-gods-role-husband" target="_blank">read more</a></p> </article> <article> <h1>I am confused about my sexuality</h1> <p>gravitek — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 19:37:13 +0000</p> <div class="field field-type-filefield field-field-image"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> </div> </div> </div> <p>It's no wonder many people today are confused about their sexuality. Some "experts" treat sexuality like a restaurant buffet.<br /><br />These so-called experts present a variety of sexual "preferences" and lifestyle "choices." They insist that all options are equally valid; that you have a right to practice any sexual behavior you wish, "as long as you don't harm anyone else." They declare that the way to fulfillment is to act on whatever sexual impulses arise from that deep, hidden part of your nature that represents "the real you."<br /><p><a href="http://whataboutjesus.com/what-about-my-life/relationships/i-am-confused-about-my-sexuality" target="_blank">read more</a></p> </article> <article> <h1>Can God help me build up my self-esteem?</h1> <p>gravitek — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 16:32:13 +0000</p> <div class="field field-type-filefield field-field-image"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> </div> </div> </div> <p>“I’m worthless!”</p> <p>That’s a depressing statement.
