Students' emails to EveryStudent.com

"I went to Google and typed in is there a god?' When I got to your site and saw the list of articles, it freaked me out. Every single question I had, it was all right there. I read through the whole site, even the articles for guys and the one about eating disorders. I read about how to become a Christian. When I read that God doesn't care about the specific words, He cares about our hearts, it was so freeing. So I just prayed, 'Yeah, what it says on the screen, God, I want that; I want to know You.'"

"I am an 18 year old student from England. I feel like I need to believe in something, only I don't know what. Please can you help me. What is God? What do I have to do to become Christian? how serious do I have to be? and what should my beliefs be? Please reply to me as soon as possible because I feel like I need some guidance."

"I would like to realize Jesus will forgive my sins and become closer to God and live a more righteous and unselfish life... the only thing is that I'm Muslim and I was wondering about how Jesus relates to Islam."

"Hi my name is April and I had emailed you a few months ago and asked you some questions. I just wanted you to know that I asked Christ into my two weeks ago so I am now your new sister in Christ. Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. It really meant a lot that you took the time to email me when you did not even know me."

"I don't believe in god for like 7 hundred reasons, but can you tell me why i can't stop thinking about this? Seriously - i don't believe in god. It's impossible for me to pretend to. So what am i supposed to do?"

I cannot get this God stuff out of my head. I wonder why your God allows the things in the world to happen, and then at the same time I wonder if there really is a God at all. I wonder if your God exists if he even cares about me. I've done some pretty stupid stuff in my life and I wonder if there is any way that if there really is this good God out there if he would even look my way. My thoughts are that he would look my way in disdain and complete and utter disapointment. I wouldn't fit in with you christians at all. I enjoy the college life way too much to fit in. I'm not like you all and I can't figure out why these questions in my head and thoughts about whether or not there is or isn't a God won't go away. I really would like for them do but they are constantly on my mind.

"I am just starting to learn about the lord and I am kind of confused? What is God's word. and why does he have say in what goes on in our life?"

"I just wanted to say that this website is awesome. You guys deliver truth so clearly to a post modern generation without compromising anything. I can't wait to send this website info to friends and family who are not Christians."

"how do you tell someone the gospel without sounding like a psycho?"

"Your site just proved God's existence and I prayed the prayer and this time it all fit together and this empty feeling that I had inside of me is gone. It is so amazing. If it isn't God I don't know what it could be. Thank you."

from a former Hindu - "After lots of soul searching and reflection, I am going to give my life to God & Jesus and will ask him to forgive me for my sins."

"Hi!! I accepted the Lord into my life when I read an article on this website. I don't know what would have happened if I didn't read that article on that day."

"I can't say how much this site has helped me. I have been looking for about half an hour. This is my first time on the site. My eyes are being opened to so much I can hardly contain it."

I would like to thank you for your help,throughout my life i have been searching for proof of god and i think i never really understood the meaning,you have helped me in this,i hope that you are able to continue to reach people like me,and to help them in understanding the word of god,i have only begun on this path,but i feel its right,for the first time,this just feels right. Thank you.

I realised that life without Jesus is like being dead yet your still walking and alive.

I explored the website, www.everystudent.com, a little more. I read about asking Christ into my life. The more I read about it, the more I realized that it was what I needed to do. So, that night I prayed...and I became so serious and overwhelmed by it. I prayed and asked him to come more into my life. I cried, confessed my fears about my relationship with Joe, and asked for strength and guidance. After all this, I don't even know how to describe what came over me...it was a sudden calmness...I wiped my tears away and felt like I could relax a little...the He would take care of me. I've been praying every night for Him to keep on showing me the way

Ihave been "Saved" Bye Jesus Today...Amen!!! I have been led to this moment by many different avenues and my Friends, Your site was the final straw as it were that finally broke me...Just Wanted to Thank You And Say Keep Up the Good Works Of Christ...Amen!!!!!

You guys are doing a great job!....i was getting hooked on porn and belive that u may have saved my life and relationship with God.....so from the bottum of my heart thankyou

Thank you so much for this website. As a christian all my life, I have recently come to college and began to struggle deeply with spiritual issues, including intense doubt in God. This site has been such a blessing, I know God is seeking me, as I have been him...and he placed this site in my life.

I have just asked Jesus Christ to forgive me and save me from hell. I believe he has. Thank you for telling me about Gods love, I really never felt loved by God until now. Thanks seems quite shallow but I dont know what else to say. Ive never been told about Gods love before at least not in the way you described it. I assumed when I revealed certain things about myself that I was never going to hear back from you or at least not in such a positive way. Thanks for caring enough about me to be so honest and straightforward. I guess I will start planning on attending church and praying now. I feel as though huge weights have been lifted off of me. I will keep in touch with you if it is okay. thanks

i really, really would love to believe in God. i am a very logical person and in this situation, i hate it. i want to believe sooo bad! i don't want to die and not go to Heaven. please help me to believe in Him!!! i would really appreciate it. thank you!

I just became a christian and I have a new look at life! Thank you very much!

I have recently beeen diagnosed with genital herpes and afraid that I may be HIV positive. I feel dirty and shamed to have this illness and feel that God doesn't love me. I do my best to help and please everyone and I often find myelf in relationships where I am always hurt and used however, I am accountable for my own actions. I have sinned and I am seeking forgiveness from God and pleading for a healthy and HIV negative life. I have prayed and asked for forgiveness. Has God done that? Does he still love me?

Great website! I forwarded this site to all my friends and family - Christian or non-Christian. You have presented the Truth in a simple, loving and convincing way.

Today, I accepted Christ as my Lord and Savior. My life already feels different. I know that Iam right with God and yet at the same time I have a great desire to grow in my relationship with Christ. For once in my life I know that everything is ok and that things are only going to get better. Before accepting Christ I did a lot of research about religions. I discovered that most religions contain a degree of proof. But when all the facts are in only Christianity stands firm. I assumed this before I accepted Christ. Now I know this better than I know my name. Your website and its links were a major part in my finding the Lord. Thats why Iam writing this email-to say thank you.

I happened across your page while doing some research, and I have to say I'm most impressed. I was raised in the church, but find it difficult to integrate my religious beliefs with my experiences in college. I find myself quite appalled by the simplistic assertions of many of the more popular fundamentalist forms of our faith in America today, and alienated by their lack of scientific inquiry. In closing I wish to thank you for taking the courage to make a stand for your spiritual convictions in a rationalistic fashion; discovering your site feels like a proverbial second wind.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I just visited your website for the first time and it is the most progressive attempt I have ever seen by the Christian community to explain themselves. While I have read very little of your arguments thus far and can not say how valid I believe them to be, I want to appluad your effort from the bottom of my heart. I am not a Christiain. I am simply someone who claims complete ignorance to the whole discussion, the agnositc position I suppose. But, if Christianity is indeed the way, I will be the first to sign up. Unfortuanatley, the answers Christian's give me are simply too supericial or too faith based for me to buy-in. Anyhow, thanks again!

I just want to say this is an unbelievable site. It answers so many questions and gives me faith. I tend to overthink and rationalize things and your website helped me put things into perspective. Thank you.

Hi! I LOVE this website and it has been awesome to use it with students. Thanks for all of your work at making such a great resource and evangelism tool!

I have lost my identity.i am just so sick and tired of living my life this way.i seem to have lost interests in EVERYTHING.Its like there is no purpose in living a life like i am. i just feel soooooooooooooo damn sick of the way i am living life right now.how can i change my life and make it more meaningfull?

Its not that I don't believe in God, because I do. i have never read a bible or gone to church, but i think i need God, but I don't know how to find him. can you help me?

I just typed in "WHO IS GOD" into Google, and got your website. I really hope you can answer some of my questions, because I feel very lost at the moment.

I really read almost every single article on your site. I spent like 5 hours on the site, which is unusual for me totally. I really liked the ones about other religions versus Christianity because i have a lot of International friends. Also I liked the ones arguing for God's existence as Creator. I even sent a few of those to my non-Christian friends.

I have a million questions- but really this email is to tell you that your web site has answered a LOT of my questions. This is an AMAZING web site.

I would just like to congratulate all of you and thank you for this site which has answered soo many questions that I have had for many years.

Hi there I just wanted to email someone & say thanks for the site, www.everystudent.com Its cool to read intelligent, logical arguments & concepts that are Biblical of course. I've recently been doubting my faith & God, but its really helped me a lot by reading articles on that site, & they don't sound boring. Their really great to read, & their real without putting me to sleep So thanks !

from Tehran University - what is christians faith about the Jesus? Really they think he is the God?!

Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question. I love your website and still have many more hours to spend viewing your articles. And honestly, your website may have saved my life. If you hadn't brought God's teachings to me (through your page) then I may not have been here right now. Thank you SO much for caring! God bless!

My name is Julie. I was wondering if I could share my testimony. The reason why I ask is because I accepted the Lord into my life when I read an article on this website.

This website is so awesome. It is the perfect way to speak God's word without threats. Believers and non-believers alike benefit.

I thought that it had a lot of good information on issues that are very real to people my age. I think that a lot of people just assume that everyone knows how to accept Jesus into their life, but they don't, and your website helped with that.

"i just visited the site and it's really great. i wouldn't hesitate to refer my most skeptical and critical friends here, people I've really invested in and wouldn't want to be put off by some cheezy Christianese site. good job.

I found my faith on this website! Last year around August, and i hadn't thanked you yet. Thank you so much, i love God with all my heart and this site planted the seed in my heart that grew and flowered!

well you see i believe in god but i really want to get close to him, not just to go to heaven but i want to know him because life is not beautiful right now - i feel guilty because i am working at a strip club and i'm 19. i want to know some tips on how to make my life better and i really want to be saved because following my own path is the wrong way!!!

I am a 26 year old homosexual. I think that I am guaranteed hell. Is that right?

from Egypt: I want to ask you a question... I didn't ask Jesus Christ to change my life because how can I ask someone I don't know very well to change my life , I know that Jesus is an extraordinary person , I believe in his miraculous birth and his hard and tough life to help and save peoples lives , we as Muslims believe in that but I don't understand Jesus' message , I know that I am asking many questions but I need to know the answers , I wanted to enter a church to search for answers to all the questions I have but unfortunately Muslims are not allowed to enter churches , I love your religion , and I feel that there is something in Christianity attracts me but im sure you know that how risky it is in our countries when it comes to such issues.

from China: I began to recognize that many things in the Bible can explain the meaning of life and self. But I cannot understand the content of the Books because of my lack of wisdom and not really understand what Christianity all about! So I am still very confused. When I found this website I burst into tears wishing that God will redeem me.

from Saudi Arabia: I have a desire to know much more about Christ. I live in Saudi Arabia and I am Muslim, I like your religion. I need your help.

from Jordan: Thank you very much for leading me to the right way. I want to share this with you: I accepted the lord Jesus Christ as a savior and I believe in him and in his great work. I am going to Saudi Arabia after a couple of days and when I come back I will contact you to arrange a meeting between the both of us. I need to know what I am supposed to do after accepting Jesus Christ in my life. Of course I am expecting to face some difficulties but I am sure that God will stand beside me and help me to overcome all the difficulties which I might face.

from Turkey: "Hello. I've been really thinking about this for a while and I've made up my mind. I'm a Muslim and your faith is having a big impact on me. I'm always looking at your website; you are a remedy to my despair. With regard to changing my faith, I need help."

from Kuwait: I am a simple Kuwaiti citizen. My ID says that I am Muslim but I am certain that Jesus is the real God and I am very sad and sorry for not knowing him earlier... Please lord forgive all my sins. I know now and for sure that I am a son not a slave.

from Jordan: Hello, I want to become a Christian. Please tell me what I am supposed to do. I am so tired. I can't live as a muslim anymore. I feel that I don't belong to this religion. Thank you.

from Middle East: I would like to know more about Christianity and about Jesus Christ and all the Christian thoughts and beliefs. I live with a Muslim family but I don't feel safe or comfort. I am ready to follow Christianity. I don't have phone in the time being, so please tell me how can I arrange a meeting with you and I will come crawling. I will come to meet you regardless of the distance between us. Thank you from the deep of my heart.
