Is it sinful or spiritually unhelpful to masturbate, if I think only of my wife when doing it and if I only do so infrequently? I am struggling because while the Bible seems silent on masturbation, the Apostle Paul says we ought not be controlled by anything.
The transforming power of worship: Seeing God with renewed minds
What is it about the worship experience that brings a congregation into the same place of awe that Jesus’ disciples felt at his transfiguration (Matthew 17:1–2)? Is it the music? The prayers? The worship leader’s voice? Or the sermon? While all these are meaningful expressions within worship, none—on its own—is transformational.
Conflicted because my boyfriend spends lots of time serving in church
My boyfriend and I are both Christians. However, he is more involved than I when it comes to serving the church. He spends 3-4 nights at church for meetings. We don’t get much time together because of this. I feel he may be better off dating someone with the same level of commitment.

I’m a new believer and come from a family of non-believers. My parents are ok with me attending church services but are strictly against me getting baptised. They feel that if I get baptised, I’ll be unable to “account” to them and the family, especially in events like funerals or death anniversaries, because I am unable to partake in rituals. If I get baptised without telling them and carry out the religious rituals, will I be violating God’s commandment not to bow to idols? On the other hand, how do I honour my parents?
God’s grace in my life
For me, being a Methodist is really about living in the constant awareness of God’s grace. I’ve come to see and experience it in different ways—God’s prevenient grace that sought me out before I even knew him, his justifying grace that saved me and his sanctifying grace that continues to shape me into the person he wants me to be.
My daughter is getting pulled into feng shui practices
My daughter is a Christian but lately, she has been lured into feng shui practices. This year it has gotten more serious with her attending webinars by feng shui masters.
