The bible says we are saved from God's wrath on judgment day. Jesus Christ died to save us from this wrath. Why do we deconstruct how fiery or how hot hell is? Or what it is? If God's wrath isn't that bad, then what was the point of Christ dying? If Hell is something that we can minimize and...

Looking back on things, I think that the issue with Harry Potter is that it is part of what led us to having things like "The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina the Witch". I think it was part of a whittling away at the standards and now you can go to books a million and find full on witchcraft...

I have a real burden for what's going on with what are supposed to be our brothers and sisters overseas. I think that a lot of good can be done through aiding the persecuted church. I know that there are many ministries such as Voice of the Martyrs and Open Doors which can obviously benefit...

I want to say that all my life before coming to Christ I didn't talk to anyone or really go out of my way to be conversant. But as you walk along and make attempts at sharing the gospel, you will get that inward joy that comes with doing something for the Lord. I am terrible at speaking, and I...

Just wanted to give thanks to God (and hopefully encourage someone else) for the time He's given me to walk free of drugs and pursue a fruitful relationship with Him. I remember when I was on drugs, and the nightmarish life I lived. I remember the aches and the suicidal thoughts, and the...

Amen, thank you for sharing!

This is my current priority. But in the meantime I've found a lot of joy in attempting personal witness and passing out gospel tracts. I'm glad you pointed this out though. The timing was just right for me to be able to hear it.

Sometimes it can be difficult because in the course of listening, a bible verse will come up that seems to be the answer to their issue. And I feel that if I don't say anything I'm deceiving them. I also feel I'm encouraging them in what I see as sin if I just silently listen while my conscience...

I am glad you mentioned this. The other night my family did a devotion clearly defining the gospel based exactly on what Paul said. I think its very important that such a thing is the central focus of anything I do with regard to witnessing to someone for Jesus. I do enjoy telling people about...

I am glad you point this out. It's a sort of push pull between thinking that I need to evangelize to deal with this burden I'm carrying around (which seems to be eased when I do take the time to witness or hand out tracts), or whether it's a different issue that probably resulted from all the...

Greetings! Long post ahead! I'll try and be as clear as possible, but I'm just laying everything out because I'm tired of feeling the way I feel. I was a drug addict for 16+ years, and in that period of time, I burned a lot of bridges, and a lot of things happened to my brain that make "normal"...

That's something I needed to hear. I hadn't considered that it was just the enormity of knowing Jesus that moved her. Its what motivates me too. I suppose as relationships form and I spend more time doing this the Lord will take care of everything else.

I appreciate your gracious and kind reply. As the days go on I am moved to reach out to others in my church so that we can do this in an orderly fashion (and Jesus sent people in twos, plus Proverbs commends having a multitude of counselors for undertakings such as this). I am also investing...

I want to thank everyone for their input. Not to draw attention to anything I did, I just want to say I went to a neighbor I was terrified to visit today and instead of rejection, I found that he professed to being saved and knowing Jesus. What this did for me was not only remove a great...
