In all seriousness though, I would say get reading. Sayedna left us with dozens of books that would take a lot more than just a summer to get through.
Doesn't have to be all work and no p…
Mark,

Any sort of "dating" should be done with the intent of leading to marriage. Try to keep it within a group until marriage vs. 1 on 1, though if your divorce was before 1995 I take it that you're old enough to know not to act on pure emotion.

For one thing, I think it serves to ignite our awe in God. I feel that He made them to show everyone that there is Something bigger than us out there.

Other Religion do have many stories about miracles but they are easily able to disprove. And they are said to be a long time ago. They don’t have proof or any miracles th…

I'd also like to add, even those with mental illnesses who commit suicide are still given a proper funeral just like anyone else. (My only problem with it is the vague line between what is an illness and what is not, as well as how reliable a diagno…
Depression is not a sin. Depression is not the same as "the pit of despair." The pit of despair is when one has given up. To say that depression is a sin is to deny someone their humanity.
RO, I really wish you hadn't deleted that post. It was beau…
In Hebrews 11:1, St. Paul calls faith "the evidence of things unseen." Faith is evidence. Faith is powerful. Faith is what pushes. We don't push for faith.

I agree 100% with aiernovi said. But even if that is the case, it is good to find the answers to these questions for your own benefit.
I asked a question similar to this a while back. I'm sure it has at least some of the answers you are looking for.
I think that God does not use works to justify man because \works do not reveal what is in the heart. But through a true, solid faith, the works will come as well - so the two should go hand-in-hand. Many Protestants acknowledge this as well. But if…
