  • well, the reason that monks can live the way they do, as single forever and devoted completely to God, is because they live far far away from all these distractions. in a monastery, there are no married people that will make you doubt your decision …
  • you can preach through your life. in fact, that's the strongest way to bring people to Christ. be an example to all

  • try to convince your parents that medicine is NOT your thing. are you interested in anything else? like english, social science, or any other humanitarian field? try to think: if your parents weren't doctors or didn't care what your career was, wha…
  • That's true. in the old testament, people were more uncivil in their ways (like having multiple wives, worshipping idols, incest,). but now, i think it's fair to say that people are more educated. [quote author=Abanoub737 link=topic=12269.msg144177…
