“Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?” (2 Corinthians 6:14 NIV)

Has popular novelist Anne Rice abandoned her faith? CNN’s religion blog presents the following summary of Anne Rice’s recent Facebook posts regarding her faith:

Legendary author Anne Rice has announced that she’s quitting Christianity.

The “Interview with a Vampire” author, who wrote a book about her spirituality titled “Called Out of Darkness: A Spiritual Confession” in 2008, said Wednesday that she refuses to be “anti-gay,” “anti-feminist,” “anti-science” and “anti-Democrat.”

Rice wrote, “For those who care, and I understand if you don’t: Today I quit being a Christian … It’s simply impossible for me to ‘belong’ to this quarrelsome, hostile, disputatious, and deservedly infamous group. For ten years, I’ve tried. I’ve failed. I’m an outsider. My conscience will allow nothing else.”

MONDAY

Teen Mentors

We are still in need of more teen mentors as the emails continue to pour into The Mentor Center. Please pray that God would bless us with a lot of great teen mentors and would impress on the hearts of those that would be able to minister in this way as an appeal goes out to our Devotional Audience this week.

Online Request: Teen & Youth Concern

I’ve been talking/dating this guy since the beginning of May, and we have been sexually active. Recently, I got checked out at a GYN and they diagnosed me with chlamydia. I need some help about how I should tell him, and what I should say.

My parents got a divorce 13 years ago. I grew up with my mom and never saw or talked to my bio-dad. We got back in contact a couple of weeks ago. I didn’t tell my mom right away because I knew she was going to be mad. However a couple of days ago I did tell that I was talking with him and she did get mad. She was telling me all these horrible things about him and his family, and I don’t know what to do. Should I stay in contact with him and get to know who I am or should I not talk to him and making me feel bad for wanting to know him? I was also planning on visiting him during my winter break this year, but I have no idea how to tell my mom. So what should I do? Thanks for your help!

TUESDAY

Online Request:  Family and Finances

I’m getting married in a few weeks. My guy is wonderful, intelligent and is a brilliant sportsman. But sometimes, I feel he doesn’t connect with me. I think he feels the same way, i.e, that I don’t exactly connect with him. Both our families get along really really well, and his parents and sister really like me, and vice versa. But I’m not sure if he wants this, or is doing this out of some kind of pressure. I have asked him, directly, and he just went all quiet on me, and said ‘no, not like that’. I also wish he would express more affection, the way I do, without overdoing it. I’m confident that I’ve been going right all along, but then why has the spark gone flat, especially when the wedding is around the corner? Help. I’m a little worried.

I have been praying so hard to get out of debt but i am still sinking. I have been trying to sell my new car to no avail so that I maybe able to clear some of the debts. The burden is now affecting me so much that I cant perform well at work. I feel so depressed. I need words of encouragement that even though I am in this situation, there is a way out. I know its my own doing and fault to be in such a situation but I plead for God’s mercies.

THURSDAY

New Staff Needed

Please pray for an open staff position, that the Lord would lead the right person to TruthMedia and that it would be a great fit for everyone.

Online Request: Marriage and Relationships

My wife just left me. I’ve been begging her for counselling, but she won’t. She feels inadequate, because I’ve basically been married to her as well as raising her. She came from a “do whatever you want” family. I came from a strict rules family. I haven’t asked her to do anymore than her fair share. She makes no money then resents me for paying all the bills. She thinks the things I ask her to do are me being controlling. I’m just asking her to pick up after herself, don’t watch bad things in front of the children, be more affectionate, things of that nature. I don’t know what to do.

I don’t understand my husband nor do I know what to do anymore for our marriage. I feel like I’m in an unloved marriage. My husband is not reliable, even down to relying on his word to take out the trash. Yet he gets upset when I come to him and say that I feel like the man in our marriage and he the woman. My thing is, if I keep doing for him where slacks off, how will he know that I want him to do those certain things? I feel he will just develop the mentality, “Oh she will get it”, and that IS NOT fair or the marriage I want! I feel lost in what to do!! The husband is to be the strong, steady one. With his actions I know I’m striving to be the wife I know I’m to be.
