Case 516
My wife is very jealous and always thinks the worst about me. She threw a photo album of my baby pictures into the trash, along with my clothes. She is very strong-willed and has been unfaithful to me, but I stay with her anyway.... I have forgiven her for everything, but she doesn’t let me have friends, especially women because she believes that I cheat on her all the time with women and that every [...]
Case 515
I am married and have two children. I fell in love with a girl who is twenty years younger than I am. Both of us study in the same university. In the beginning everything was great, as I had problems with my wife and the new relationship was comforting to me. But now, two years later, it seems like my girlfriend doesn’t want to have relations with me. She is always giving excuses to keep [...]
Case 514
During my childhood I was sexually abused by various members of my family on numerous occasions. Every time I would tell my mother, she would tell me that I deserved it because I was a dirty girl and a liar. She would always make me think that I had imagined what had happened, as if I were a bit crazy. Many years have passed. I am now a grandmother, and I feel like a [...]
Case 513
I have felt the need to change religions, and the family is opposed.... I have come to know Christ in a personal way, and I am happy about it, but my in-laws are judging me for my decision.... I don’t know how to respond to their attacks because I love them, but they hurt me with their words.... My husband doesn’t say anything; he just gets quiet. Dear Friend, Your husband must be a wise [...]
Case 512
I am forty years old, but I have never felt fear like I do now.... I can’t explain it.... It builds up in my chest and makes me feel desperate, sad, and sometimes even want to cry. It’s something that really makes me uncomfortable, and I don’t understand it. I have prayed to God, but I keep having this problem. When I feel uncomfortable is when I get home from work at about eight o’clock [...]

Can you give me some advice? What I can do to help them? Dear Friend, We are [...]
Case 510
I have been downloading movies from the Internet. In the country where I live, copyright laws are not enforced, but I don’t know if it is wrong in the eyes of God. I have heard that downloading movies is pirating, and that is obviously wrong and forbidden. I know that no one sees what I am doing, but my conscience tells me that it is wrong. I would like some Biblical counsel from you. Dear [...]
Case 509
Please forgive me for the way I say this, but there comes a point when you don’t know what is right or what is wrong. Hearing your messages, I would feel and see a possible world where God is love and all who love God are new human beings, or at least that’s what you want us to believe. I grew up in a Christian home... where lives were supposed to have been changed upon [...]
Case 508
Three years ago, I met my girlfriend and her two daughters. I don’t know what came over me and caused me to commit the worst mistake of my life. Without thinking, I let myself be caught up in the antics of one of the girls, and I took the liberty to touch her inappropriately. That ended up getting me in serious trouble... I was at the point of going to prison, accused of raping her. [...]
