    Vasectomy Okay Within The LCMS Church?

    I have seven kids, five with an ex-girlfriend during a ten year relationship before I became a Christian and two with my wife (although we are divorcing). Seven is more than enough and I have done my duty of going forth and multiplying. Some may say that is a selfish way of looking at the...

    Church Membership Requirements?

    I have been looking for a new church to attend because of my work schedule and since the church I attend now with their service being a little later in the morning on Sunday it conflicts with my work schedule. So church shopping I go. The one church that I was looking at seemed good until it...

    Feel Like God is Punishing Me and I Don't Know Why?

    It started back in August when I found out that my wife is divorcing me because she's not happy with me and our relationship was toxic. It was both sides at fault, not just one or the other. I have repented of anything I did wrong in the relationship and asked for forgiveness from my wife, which...

    I am feeling very depressed this morning and cannot seem to figure out why. I mean I have an idea, but the idea that I have shouldn't be the cause of this depression.

    Does Anyone Have Any Recommendations for A Free Bible College?

    I am looking to further my education, but want to do so going to a Bible college. Since I cannot really go to a Bible college out of state as I am needed at home, I must look for an online Bible college.

    Can God put the great commission on hold for someone?

    In the Bible it states that the great commission is to spread the Gospel. Can God put that on hold for an individual because of an individual's circumstances? My wife's health has gotten worse after the birth of our daughter, so much so that we have decided that I am going to remain home...

    My wife and I have been talking and it seems she may not be able to go back to work because her multiple sclerosis is really taking a toll on her. What that also means is that I am going to be required to stay home as well because she will need help with herself and our new daughter. We're...

    I wish I really knew since I am not really sure at this point. I have no job, and my wife is getting frustrated seeing as she's the breadwinner at 8 months pregnant and having multiple sclerosis. Everything I apply for either doesn't call me back or has found someone else when I call...

    Should I be bored reading the Bible since I have read it through 3 times already?

    I have read my Bible 3 times through already, using different versions as well. I just can't seem to get through it again. It's just boring reading it all over again. I am like that with all books though. Even really interesting ones. So should I be bored reading the Bible again after...
