“At church they say we should always believe the Bible, but sometimes it seems like it&#8217;s contradicting itself. What&#8217;s up with that?” ~ Dave
Hey Dave,
You&#8217;re right. Sometimes the Bible is confusing. Like, I could open it up and read, “No one living is righteous before you” (Psalm 143:2b) and then flip over to see, “The [...]]]></description>

“Young lady, do you believe in premarital cosexual interdigitation?”
I felt my jaw drop as my pastor’s question rolled around in my brain. &#8220;Premarital… cosexual…&#8221; Sex! He said sex! He couldn’t want me to say yes!

This week, we&#8217;re going to reverse roles. Instead of answering a question, I&#8217;m asking you a question:
&#8220;What&#8217;s the best advice you&#8217;ve ever received?&#8221;
There&#8217;s no wrong answer here, and you&#8217;re not being graded. I promise! This is your chance to help another reader, so think about it and comment. I&#8217;m looking forward to reading your advice!
