heheh good question.
This one’s a bit complicated. You should bring up Hell during any discussion of the Gospel. Without it, there is no Gospel. The whole thing is about Jesus saving us. From what? Hell. So, if you are explaining the Gospel, say something like, “Jesus came to earth, lived a life without sin, then suffered and died on…[Read more]

Thanks a lot! I’m happy I could help.
It really depends on what your experience is. Don’t randomly make everything about you if your experiences aren’t related to the discussion. On the other hand, if your friend is struggling with something you’ve struggled with, bring up how you got through it with God’s help. Also, it’s okay if you…[Read more]

If your friend is hurt by her parents’ actions, you could try to get through to her with that. You could tell her about her Father in heaven who will never do the hurtful things her parents did. God is all-loving and wants to save her from eternal death and bring her an everlasting life in heaven with Him.

Well, the thing is that Christianity is about God, not Christians. Even if people who call themselves Christians mess up, they aren’t the focus. Also, Christians are sinners, and we admit it. So what hypocrisy is there really? Now I do agree that it is hypocrisy to call yourself a Christian and then not even try to be one.
How I would…[Read more]

I humbly bow to your ability to learn new languages! I’ve been part of several different Spanish classes, and though I adored the missionaries who taught them, I couldn’t catch on to the language for the life of me.
It was brave of you to try, even if it was hard.
What inspired you to learn Polish?
Good question! I have some Polish anc…[Read more]

If they aren’t convinced or their mind isn’t changed, though it may seem hard, try to get across to them a picture of what will happen when they die without faith. A good way to do this is ask them, “Would you give me your eye for three hundred dollars?” This gets them thinking about how much they value just their senses. Then, ask…[Read more]

OrangeArmadillo replied to the topic Apologetics in the forum Mission, Calling & Ethics 1 year, 6 months ago
Yes I have been asked about this before a few times.
Usually how it goes is somebody says, “How can God exist if evil does too? If he loves us and he’s all-powerful, how come he doesn’t get rid of all the bad stuff?”
At first their argument seems logical, but you can refute it instantly by asking, “What do you mean by evil?”

Yet another topic I’m starting but I think it’s an important one. Christian Apologetics. There are a few different versions of this, but the one I’m talking about is defending our faith as an accord of law. So basically it’s…[Read more]

Thanks! It’s meant to be geared towards idk 3rd to 5th grade. It won’t be too long, probably a novella. My goal is 30,000 words.

So… I don’t know if this is short enough to be considered a short story, but it’s definitely not a novel. It’s called llama, and here’s the first part of it.
Chapter 1
I walked along the beach, about a mile away from my seaside home. The hot sand stirred between my toes as I stepped, and I could smell the ocean’s potent scent quite clearly. E…[Read more]

@mackenzie Yeah, I love reptiels (most of them anyway). Many types of lizard are cute! I don’t know what kind you have around your place, but in my area the ones we have are called anoles, and they come in several varieties (but the green ones and brown ones are the most common)
And yes, if I could have a dragon pet I would! Ha, I have a neck…[Read more]

Yeah, I’m in the same boat with the romance. I just like it, so I wing it and cringe in the process. : )
Stella sounds like fun. Me … oh, love a lot of my characters. I love Angel, my spunky CIA agent who has a habit of shocking people.

Well, as you may have been able to tell, my favorite color is orange.
I absolutely love bacon, and if I could, I would have it for every meal.
My favorite Christian song is First Things First by Consumed by Fire.
See you around!
