    Lack of Peace... God's Will...?

    YES!! God created us to have a will of our own so, there's always inconvenience when we are trying to align our wills and desires to that of GOD's and there's this "self" which tries to react/respond in varied ways (at times in very unpleasant ways which even we ourselves don't like) when you...

    Is it considered a sin for a Christian not to wear a mask or socially distance?

    We, as Christians, are called to be blameless and also wise. If your wisdom/sense, hints you to wear a mask, then you need to. Also, if there's a mandate to wear a mask as part of restrictive measures Governments are taking, then Scripture says you need to adhere to it: Romans 13:1 - Let...

    Ok this is confusing

    Sanctification is the work of God which involves our cooperation. Romans 15:16 - "... sanctified by the Holy Spirit" Romans 8:13 - "...but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live"

    Struggling with depression,sadness

    When I disciplined myself to fix this :pointup:, everything else fell in place. I suffered (still suffer at times) from anxiety and depression, my strength has proven only to be enough for me to survive and not to live and enjoy the life that was/is given to me. I needed to rely on a greater...

    Faith in other people?

    True! For me, in most cases, it so happened that when I poured out my heart to God, I never felt the "need" to share it with others. When I tell HIM and feel heard, I wouldn't go to the second. I don't say it happened with all the stuff.. but, largely! Bonding and fellowshipping with others...

    Faith in other people?

    Yes, we do need to trust people in our everyday living. But, whether we will choose to trust a person or not depends on how trustworthy he/she proved themselves to be. Some are more trustworthy than others, depending on their personalities, personal convictions, make & motives. However, the...

    Am I actually a huge mistake?

    No, you are not! You just didn't happen, you are made! You are a heritage, a fruit of the womb, a reward from above, irrespective of how the recipient feels about it. (Psalm 127:3 - Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward) The story of "you" began much...

    Where are you headed with your Bible closed?

    We CANNOT experience the true victorious Christian living WITH OUR BIBLE CLOSED! A believer manoeuvring in this evil & sinful world, with a closed Bible, is like driving a vehicle in terrifying dense darkness, on an unknown road, with failed headlights! Psalm 119:105 - Thy word is a lamp unto...

    confused...

    Yes and we are also told that it was created and designed to be between the Husband and the wife, ie., within marriage. Sex is a gift, but only in the confines of marriage. By relying on the strength of the Holy Spirit residing in us and by doing all that is in our power to "flee from" and...

    Have you ever asked in prayer and received?

    Well, not "how" & "when" I expected but, YES, I asked and received.

    I’m pregnant, going through divorce, and have been through trauma

    Well, they understand forgiveness totally wrong then. Forgiveness doesn't mean you stay with him no matter what, excuse him, believe his next promise and take it lying down. Forgiveness and choosing to live with him are two different things.
