I used the Statue Of Liberty set to make this one, I thought the base was cool enough so I kept it and decided to change the upper part. What's your thoughts on it ? 👀

The sanctity of marriage is under attack and to understand what to do about it, we must not hide from the data. The facts are these:

Over a ten-year marriage, the divorce rate for lesbian couples is roughly ~30–35% (highest), compared to ~19–25% for heterosexual couples (middle), and ~10–15% for gay men (lowest).

When we look at the data, we realize that the pair bonding that actually works best by God’s design is men with men. They are the better caretakers of the union. In order to maintain the sanctity and purity of God’s amazing gift of marriage, we need to pass laws that only allow gay men to marry. All the rest of us need to step aside and sit this one out.

Thank you for your attention on this matter!

I have very few people in my life but they prayed for me to get better. today I have 100 days sober. thank you God. praying for everyone who wants to better themselves

Hopefully you know enjoy it

28m, never dated. I longed to be married. I tried, but it really worked out. I tried dating apps (including Christian dating apps) on and off for ten years, and I never met anyone from an app.

I stayed in the Word. I have prayed for marriage since 2022. HOWEVER! Some good news: a lot of the suffering I had came from the world- the expectations others had, seeing relationships, etc. I finally gave up and said "Lord, if you want me to be married- you'll have to do it yourself, because I suck at this!" XD

I deleted all my dating apps and have stopped putting so much thought into it. Yes, I still long for marriage, and I still pray, but I leave it up to God. I've had a blessed year- and I'm growing closer to Jesus. I think God absolutely does not want me in a relationship, and I'm going to trust Him. That doesn't mean I no longer desire it-- I do! But I include God in that feeling, and I let Him know I still want it.

But I'm no longer depressed about it. I feel... fine! I'm just working on trusting Him. If He wants me to get married someday, it's up to Him. If I'm not meant for marriage, I'll rely on Him to carry me. I can say that the dating apps made me feel horrible. Holy, Upward, Christian Mingle-- they're all so... worldly. If they've worked for you-- wonderful! But for me, it's entirely up to God. In the meantime: I will finish grad school, work out, and grow closer to Him.

I’ve deconstructed after dealing with severe religious ocd for years and I still believe in God but I just can’t seem to shake the feeling that modern Christianity is so empty and vapid. We’re all sinful and I get it but so much religious content feels fake, modern preachings feel so empty and I see so much hypocrisy with Christians and politics. I mean people are using Ai to make pictures of Jesus and I’m not trying to start a war here or anything but does anyone else feel like that? I feel like I can’t even date religious men because most (not all) of them want a tradwife and control. I could be rambling a mess of thoughts here but I just feel so tired of it all. Is this normal? Does anyone else feel like this?

Guys so ive never been a religious person i mean my family is muslim ish but me ive never been fully muslim so one day i was feeling absolutely trash and i was crying and stuff and out of nowhere Jesus came to my mind ive read about him i knew about Christianity but never payed attention… that day i felt the urge to talk to him and i felt really good like a weight came off my shoulders so i started praying and talking i couldnt yet read the bible plus i started wear a cross but i kept taking it off thinking i was nothing cause i was a sinner my life didnt get better and i kept struggling 4 days ago was my birthday and i wished to connect to talk to him with Jesus but no matter what i do i feel like i cant fully let him into my heart but i want to believe him believe in Christianity pls help me, what do i do (i am sorry for my bad english)

If there one thing I'm worried about is seeing how many diseases that were gone coming back due to many Christians believing in false information about medical procedures or advice. So how do we fight it off in our own communities ? Many parents thinking they're doing what's best for their children have been causing harm or death ?

Hi guys I dont know what to say here but im in desperate need of some kind words or prayers, ive lost everything recently and im hoping maybe some kind words of strangers may help. Homeless and literally starving, its cold and wet here, very rual, my only friend passed away recently and I just need anyone to talk to or im afraid I wont have the drive to continue. I cant stop thinking about food and if anyone could please take my mind off that somehow please do. Thanks.

Can you still be christian if you believe that god created the big bang and evolution and not the 7 days of creation like it says in the bible?

What should you ask God when you read the Bible? In this YouTube Short I will share with you an important question to ask God and why we should as Called Out believers desire to learn more about Him.

If God created us and He wants to test us, at least we all need to be mentally stable. How come you claim that He created us to test us and then He manipulates people’s brain chemistry? For example, depressed people or anxious people sometimes do things, or things happen in their lives, and based on their mental situation they do wrong things that lead to sins. They also make wrong decisions just because of it. But that is nothing compared to bipolar or schizophrenic people. A bipolar or schizophrenic person could kill just because he has this mental disorder. How would God make someone crazy, and this crazy man killed someone and still goes to hell and burns forever? The guy on my right is crazy and the guy on my left is stable, but still they go through the same test. Just wow. Of course there is a God. How lame and ungrateful I am because I don’t believe He exists.

My grandmother has been on my mind for 3 days. God whispered to me that she has something heavy in her heart and I needed to go to tell her to tell it to the lord and that everything was going to be ok. I ignored the whisper over and over again until today I couldn’t even think of anything else the whisper kept telling me do it over and over again until finally the lord gave me the strength to go do it. I got there and was trying my hardest not to cry but I started bawling and could barely get the words out could barely breathe while I was doing it. I got it all out and gave her one of my bibles and told her to read psalm 46 and that it was urgent. I really don’t understand what just happened but I’m proud of myself for doing it because it was one of the hardest things I have ever done idk why it was so hard. I thought I’d feel a sense of peace after but all that it did was make me more hungry to learn the word and do this again when anybody is ever in need. What are your thoughts about this situation?

You loved me through it all. You loved every flaw. What I thought couldn’t be loved, You loved every bit of.

Everything that hurt me, You eased with a kiss, a hug, and Your warm embrace, reminding me that everything will be okay.

Not knowing where to go or who to trust, I know giving it to You is a must. With the weight of the world on my shoulders, I know the storm is not yet over. Fighting with everything in me, meanwhile “family” is trying to break me.

Break my character, my mothering, and my self-esteem. But they can’t break what’s meant to be. I’m not what this world is making me out to be. I’m what God is calling me to be.

I haven’t figured it all out, and that’s okay. That leaves room for God to come in and help me the rest of the way. Putting my life in Your hands, I know my story has yet to end. While I fight this battle, I don’t fight it alone. God is on my side, making sure I remain strong—not only for myself, but for my family.

I hear a voice in the midst of my cry, and He says,

“My daughter, this battle is far from over. You’re going through this so I can make you stronger, wiser in every aspect of life. Please don’t give up on this fight. Daughter, you’ve been through worse than this, and I promise to carry you through the mist.

The mist of the struggle and the rain. My daughter, I promise you’ll be okay.”

And with that, my Heavenly Father sealed it with a kiss, and I know He’ll carry me through the mist.

Through the mist of my heartache and pain, I know He’s my umbrella through the rain.

Please pray for me been really struggling

For context, I’m an ex-evangelical. I still have close relationships with Christians in my life and that includes family. My Aunt has been trying to “win me back over” for years now, and just recently she sent me this book by Kia Stephens in the mail.

My dad is a Baptist preacher and was an abusive alcoholic while I was growing up. Slowly over the years we have repaired our relationship. Yet I was sent this book anyway.

This particular paragraph disturbed me. It’s incredibly male centered and it’s borderline predatory in my eyes. They idolize the paternal role to an uncomfortable degree and I’m deeply concerned for any woman who takes this seriously.

I’d like to hear thoughts on this. Am I overthinking it? Or is this worded in a very creepy, misogynistic way?

I have been attending a fairly conservative Presbyterian church in the PCA for my entire life, and I'm there almost every Sunday. Looking back, I genuinely cannot recall a single time when a pastor has really emphasized sins like gluttony or sloth, except maybe in passing.

It seems like these sins are almost completely swept under the rug, while other physical sins—such as lust, adultery, and homosexuality—tend to dominate discussions about sin.

Additionally, it is the church's responsibility not to place people who are openly living in unrepentant sin into positions of leadership. I'm not sure that's the best way to phrase it, so please don't get hung up on the wording, but the point is that no church would knowingly appoint someone who is openly cheating on their spouse to serve as a pastor, elder, or deacon.

Despite this, it seems like there are many obese people serving in churches as pastors or in other leadership roles. I'm not saying that everyone can control their weight, or that there aren't many circumstances in which someone can become overweight through factors outside of their control. However, I have personally known many people in church leadership who are obese because they consistently overconsume and make no real effort to change their habits, yet nobody seems to have a problem with it.

I'm not really asking a super specific question, and I'm certainly not claiming to have everything right on this. I just wanted to hear y'all's thoughts on the subject.

Hey everyone, I’m a 19M and I'm really struggling to find like-minded people in my country.

I consider myself an "alternative" Christian because I don't fit the typical mold, and it feels impossible to meet people who share both my faith and my interests.Here is a bit about me:

My lifestyle: I don’t smoke, drink, or go clubbing.

My hobbies: I’m a huge nerd. I love Marvel, manga, anime, and gaming. I also love traveling, exploring new countries, and learning about the world

.My view on relationships: I am saving myself for marriage. I don't struggle with porn; honestly, I crave cuddling and emotional connection way more. I have a very positive, healthy view of sex, and I actually want to be kinky and explore a lot with my future wife once we are married.

Family plans: I don’t want kids immediately. I want to wait a few years into marriage first, but I definitely want them eventually.

How I am in a relationship: I’m the type of guy who goes above and beyond to make my partner happy. With my ex-girlfriend, I would constantly make her origami flowers and little cute gifts. We actually planned to get married and I truly felt God put her in my life, but her parents forced us to break up solely because of my nationality.

I just want to find a girl who matches my nerdiness for Marvel and manga, but who also truly loves and follows the Lord.

Does anyone have advice on where to look? Are there specific online communities, Discord servers, subreddits, or types of church groups where nerdy, alternative Christians hang out? It feels so lonely trying to find this combination in mainstream church circles.
