What are some interesting conversations and questions we can start having as Christians?

@VpSmith4 Kissing in itself is not bad. But what it leads to is what isn’t appropriate. It can lead to sin. Where I come from, there's a saying, The body isn't wood. There are certain hormones or feelings that could arouse the body through kissing and cause one to sin. It's a temptation one should flee from. As the Bible says, "Flee from all appearance of evil" Kissing is an appearance of evil which could cause fornication that's why you should flee from it.
          	  I wish you the best in your relationship and the guidance of the Holy Spirit to prevent you from making errors. Amen

@AnointingYao What do you mean by Kissing isnt really a thing in the kingdom of GOD. Asking because even at my age I still struggle with knowing if kissing is okey when I kiss my boyfriend. This is the first real relationship I've been in and he for understanding the I'm saving my save marriage but we do kiss.

@She_Flourishes Kissing before marriage...isn't really a thing in the Kingdom of God
          	  
          	  Forgiving someone who is unrepentant...is it easy?
          	  
          	  White lies...do they really exist? And is it acceptable in the kingdom of God (I know lies are lies but there are a few times when this white lie saves a life)
          	  
          	  The family background of Believers and how it shapes their attitude in marriage...(Christians don't talk about this that much)
          	  
          	  Marrying an abusive spouse...is it still till death do us part?

What was one way God taught you how to have a better heart?

@Cloud_ggirl that's true. Like the word encourages us to. When we surrender our burdens to God we feel lighter

I agree with @AnointingYao! Once  you start sharing and inviting God into everything you do and everywhere you go, you get better insight and peace about things

Sin isn't just in our nature, it's all around us. In the media, on television, at school/work, billboards, etc. The things that we see, and the people that we hang around with, all influence us, whether for good or for bad. 
          
          For instance, a HotPocket commercial from a few years ago in the U.S. featured a half-dressed woman in a fire station (if I remember correctly), talking about how "hot" HotPockets are. What promotion of lustful culture, right? Not to mention the objectification of women, but that's a story for another day. 
          
          It's so easy to fall into sin because we're surrounded by it, and even easier to convince ourselves that it's okay because everyone else says that it's okay. 
          
          But, what does God say?

A Man Submitted To Christ
          
          God calls men to submit to Him first before we submit to them as our husbands. A man submitted to Christ will understand the amount of trust and surrender it needs. He'll understand it isn't easy. His own walk with God will remind Him of the high standard God calls Him to, the same high standard to lead and love like Christ. He'll understand the trust needed, the maturity and weight. That's why God wants you to marry a man who has already submitted to Him.
          
          Read:
          Ephesians 5:25-33

John 3:30 
          ESV 
          30 He must increase, but I must decrease
          
          Lord, may You increase in who we are. In our hearts, minds, and character. That our character reflects You. May You increase in our way of speaking and behaving. May others see You in us. May You Increase in our attitudes and thoughts. May You increase in our motives and decisions. May You increase in every action we take. May You increase in our gifts, talents, and ministries. May You increase in every blessing we have. May You increase in our work. 
          
          Let when we speak that people hear You. When we write that people read Your words. When people meet us, they meet You in us. I want Your presence to be felt in all we do. That we can carry Your presence, carry Your presence in our gift, hearts and attitudes. 
          
          For You to increase, our surrender needs to increase. Increase our surrender. Help us to empty ourselves so that You can fill us up. Empty us of vain things. Empty us of things not good for us. Purify and empty us so we can be available vessels for Your kingdom. Empty us so we can be filled with You. As You fill this temple with Your power and glory, may Your presence be felt in all we do. 
          
          In Jesus name.
          
          Amen.

Why do you think it can be difficult for most women to admit they have a porn addiction or struggle with sexual sin?
