I have really asked some sick questions, but i am going through a tough time in my life right now. I am christian , i dont sleep around and i love Jesus. Today i gave my life to him but i have all these sick messages in my email account. What do i do, the truth is, what if i have no christian friends? Can anyone suggest a way i can meet christian people that like to have fun because most christian friends ive met are actually boring..i dont need to go drinking, all i need is friends that like to do fun stuff. I work for a charity by the way.

I've had previous email accounts where in the past I had subscribed to certain lists. Eventually I decided I needn't be doing that, so I closed those email addresses to avoid the temptation of logging in and looking at them. Perhaps you could think about doing the same (whatever you meant by "sick" messages in your email account).
As for friends, try doing acivities that you enjoy doing, and ask if there are any Christians present. For example, maybe you like playing softball. Go to the community center and take a look at the leagues for teams than may be church teams. Find out when they are playing and then go talk to them during a game. You've found Christian people who are not boring (they like some of the same things as you...softball in this example).
I know a lot of people will tell you "go to church and you'll find some really nice people there who will be your friend" but I know...a lot of those people are boring. That's why I'd suggest the opposite approach...find people who you don't see as boring...and hang out with any Christians you find who enjoy the same.

i don't even think u understand ur own question. if u are truly christian, then y do u have to have only christian friends? A true christian is accepting of and compassionate towards all people, not someone who is prejudiced and says they can only meet and have christian friends. I'm glad u found Jesus, but just remember that he accepted everyone that came to him, even his killers. and by the way, Jesus was born a Jew, if u are following his message then read about all religions-- they all say to love and to help and to not kill each other. Don't label yourself, u don't even understand yourself yet. and as for leaving the past behind, just shut the damn door!

Wow! Great! Good for you. I'll bet they are having a party in heaven right now for you! I know it is easier said than done but try and find a good church, hopefully one with friends your own age. If not sure you can google churches in your hometown. God never gives up on anyone, so don't feel bad about what you were like, if you gave your life to him he has forgiven it all. There are fun Christians out there! I have so many christian friends from my old uni who are amazing fun.

You can"t change the past, but you can change the future. We live and learn from our mistakes. We have to have Faith. Pray. Ask God to help you to overcome the past.He will give you the strength to move on with your life. Find a good church. You will find lots of good Christian friends there. My church is part of my Family. I love them all. Live your life serving Jesus. He will Bless you in many ways. Seek Him for the will of your life. With God, all things are possible, and there is Power in Prayer. God Bless you.

Delete what you ca from your accounts and don't worry about it. God will be really happy that you changed, I doubt very much he'll care about the other stuff. I know some Christians are boring. Just keep expanding your social circle and in time you'll be fine

The best way to meet other Christians is to go to church. FIND a church you enjoy. Not all Christians are drinking--go to church, go to their groups, join a Bible study, get involved.
What you want is someone who believes in the same basic principles and wants to follow the Lord, not materialist idols. I say, good for you!
But don't forget your past. The past is a part of you. Learn from it, and grow from it. There's a reason it has happened. :-)
Good luck!

Lord, please help markbell today. Here is one of your dear children asking for help. Please purify markbell's heart, mind and mouth this day. Please give markbell the strength to turn away from past sins, to seek your forgiveness, and most iimportantly Lord, to accept and feel your forgiveness. Jesus, your word tells us when we receive your spirit we are a "new creation", that the old man is no more. In the name of Jesus Christ, I ask that this person who is seeking you Lord, that you guide and direct him in the way you would have him go. Amen.
Find a good bible teaching church that has a good youth program. Don't give up...things don't happen or change overnight. And make sure you get into a bible study and keep in prayer. Trust in the Lord, He will guide you. May God bless and keep you safe and in His arms.
