A few months ago my elder daughter, who is twenty-five... told me that she was moving out to live on her own. Later I found out that she had a boyfriend and had been sleeping at his house. That broke my heart into pieces, and I didn’t see her or talk to her for several months.... Now my younger daughter, who is seventeen... started attending the university.... I discovered on her mobile phone that [...]
Case 753
I had an excellent relationship with God. Every day I would pray when I got up in the morning and again before I went to bed. But as time went by, everything changed because I moved to the city on account of work. From that moment on I left the church.... My life has gone from bad to worse.

I had a daughter with a man who is a member of another church that I daresay is a cult. Before long I came to understand the magnitude of the consequences.... We still don’t live together.

I am thirty-five and my daughter is eleven. Her mother and I broke up when she was three years old....

Case 747
I have a question. I would like to be happily married and have a family that honors God. But how am I going to be able to identify the person that God has for me? How am I going to know if I’m about to make a bad decision? I believe that God has a special person for every human being, because God didn’t design us to be alone. Dear Friend, We’re glad you are [...]
