Q&A for How to Be a Modern Christian Girl

Nowadays dressing trendy isn't easy for Christian girls, but it is possible. You should look for less revealing clothing. Modesty is really important. As for your behavior, you can still have fun and be cool, but without being vulgar or following trends like smoking or drinking. You should put others before yourself.

Yes, usually after they're sixteen, but some girls make an exception to this rule.

Think about it this way: If you don't wait, and you break up, you might be crushed. But once you are married, your first experience may be more meaningful because you know you are with the person who really loves you.

By not giving into bad peer pressure, for example, avoid cigarettes, drugs, and sexual activity. Follow the Bible. If the Bible says you should do something, do it. If God talks to you, or does a miracle for you, preach. Most important of all, continue to love him with all your heart and if you KNOW something is bad DO NOT do it.

Lots of people struggle with this. It's not easy, but so worth it. Read the Bible, pray and talk to God as you would a friend.

If you feel in your heart the pressure to help, you must pray sincerely and whole heartedly for them. The power of love and faith is more powerful than any demon and spirit that can be posessing your friends. Rather than speaking to them about it, just lead by example to avoid them getting angry with you for pushing it on them.

Pray about it. It is unlikely God would have a problem with you listening to non-Christian music as long as you understand that some of its lyrics may not be very Christian-like. The music you listen to doesn't necessarily have to change who you are.

The Bible has nothing against dating, as long as it isn't done in an ungodly manner. If you are old enough to date, and have found a suitable Christian boyfriend who respects you, then it is okay to date. As a Christian, it is a good idea to dress modestly. Have high standards, so the person you're dating will know not to fool around with you. Be yourself, but more importantly, remain faithful to the teachings of the Bible.

All you have to do is accept Jesus Christ as your lord and savior and ask for forgiveness for your sins.

When you're considering having sex outside of marriage or when your partner becomes more important to you than God. If this is something you're wondering about, then pray for it and ask God!

You should never do anything you don't feel comfortable doing. Try talking to a trusted adult or religious leader about your experiences and feelings. They can help provide guidance and support so you can make the best choices for yourself.

Never beat yourself up about praying! Prayer is simply a conversation with God. It is most seen as a way to ask God for things, but that does not have to be the case, it can be simply communion, thanking God for the life He has given. Nowhere in the Bible does it specifically say what length prayers have to be, other than give us an example provided as the Lord's prayer. Matthew 6:9–6:13; Luke 11:2–11:4

The bible says our bodies are the temple of the Lord, and therefore it's not okay to show your body off to other people. It depends on your personal interpretation of this passage, though.

It only takes a few seconds to say a prayer. If you need help getting in the mood, listen to some Christian music and just relax, or read through/write out some of your favorite biblical verses.

First, pray and ask HIM what he would like you to change. Your goal will be to center all of the aspects of your life around God. Whether it be eating, sleeping, praying, or playing video games, do everything in God's name. Just don't announce it to the world.

Because it is an abuse of the procreative functions of the sexual organs. God has given us this wonderful gift to participate in His creation, to allow us to help bring new souls into this world for salvation. Masturbation is an abuse of the sexual act, and is a form of sodomy. This is why it is a mortal sin. You are effectively preventing a new life from entering into this world.

Yes, of course! Because of God's grace, all we have to do is know that Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts that God rose him from the dead. God is so good!

Read the Bible and look for the Ten Commandments, then disobey them.

Yes you can. God is not against homosexuals, but some Christians believe he is against the practice of homosexuality, so you may want to find a church where this belief is not common.

One of the points of being a Christian is becoming pure from within, as God works through us, so no.

Well, first, pray. Ask people who are close to him how he acts when you are not around. Watch how he acts, and consider whether or not his behavior is Christian. Ask him where he goes to church. Go there with him and make sure people know him. And trust your instincts, because that is often how God talks to us. If something feels wrong (or right!) listen to that feeling.

Absolutely! There is nothing wrong with married women having jobs. In Proverbs 31, the woman works outside of the home and she brings honor to her husband by doing so. In practice though, having both a family and a job can be difficult. However, financially many families have little choice but to be two-income.

Yes. There are no real standards for attire other than covering any private areas and dressing appropriately for the occasion.

Are you suffering? Sometimes suffering draws us far away from God too. If so, pray and ask Him to give back all the memories and guide you back to His path. You are not alone, so reach out to other Christians to help support you in your journey of faith.

It depends who you ask. You shouldn’t dress to draw attention to your body in sexual gratification. Many women choose to wear more modest swimwear for this reason. If you do wear a bikini, make sure it is a practical one that doesn’t reveal an excessive amount of skin. A thong-style bikini or push up bikini top is definitely not appropriate, being designed to draw attention to a woman’s body. If you feel like you’re going against God’s wishes, don’t do it. It’s best to error on the side of more modest if you are unsure, but use your best judgment.

The best thing to do to get closer to get to God if you haven't been raised in a Christian household is to pray and read the Bible every single day.
