    I have to get in good physical shape, but I can't do it

    "17Join with others in following my example, brothers, and take note of those who live according to the pattern we gave you. 18For, as I have often told you before and now say again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. 19Their destiny is destruction, their god is their...

    I have to get in good physical shape, but I can't do it

    The only thing though is that I'm in sin. Gluttony is most definately a sin, as is not being a good steward of the body. If it was a chronic illness or something that was beyond my power, I would understand. But it isn't Biblical to be complacent with where you are if you are in sin. I do often...

    I have to get in good physical shape, but I can't do it

    I just can't! It's very frusterating being 18 and being 220 lbs, when I should be around 170 or 180. It's been like this for almost a decade. And I am constantly aware of the fact that God wants me to get in shape. I also know that I want to get in shape. For those who aren't overweight or...

    Spiritual Bondage

    I don't really have any sort of in depth response, but your words have encouraged me and have got me thinking. I thank you for that, I've been needing to hear something like this :)

    Wow, this board is depressing

    Hold up there, I never said there wasn't anything wrong with being depressed. There is something wrong with it (unless you honest to God cannot help it due to mental disorders or whatever). I said I felt bad for those who were depressed, and I could sympathize since I've been there. But how...

    Wow, this board is depressing

    People, I really wasn't trying to cut you down for being sad. I know how tough it can get, as I was depressed for a full year over this. And I mean really depressed. It was horrible. I didn't mean for it to come across as "Wow, you guys are so pathetic! Stop whining and do something about it!"...

    Wow, this board is depressing

    I didn't mean in any way shape or form that I have it worse than people that are later along in life... in fact, I know it much be much much harder to cope with at that age. And I'm not judging those who are upset about it, because like I said, I was depressed for over a year about it. And...

    Wow, this board is depressing

    This isn't meant to be offensive, but it's just sad seeing how some people are coping with being single. Just from breifly reading through some of the threads, it seems like some of your lives are just so dull without someone to share it with, and that makes me sad. I struggled with depression...

    WHY are my prayers not getting answered???

    I know this must be frusterating for you, but remember that God answers every prayer. Every single one is answered. You know what the answers are? "Yes", "Wait", or "No". Why would God say no though in something like this? If He is indeed saying no, embrace God, because it is for the greater...

    Addictions

    I'm extremely sorry that pornography has taken over your husbands life, but it sounds like he is definately making progress. Once in four months is certainly a lot better than daily. Of course it's still not permissible to even sin on occasion, but I know he can break the addiction through...

    How do I get on fire for God again?

    Wow, I love it when God speaks to me. I had just spent a couple hours tonight alone in my room in prayer and worship and studying and learning, and all the while I still couldn't feel his presence. I asked why I couldn't sense He was near, why my soul wasn't delighting in Him as it had before...

    How do I get on fire for God again?

    @ aldar I know those types of experiences are rare and it is usually the byproduct of a long and difficult journey with Christ. I just want to be the type of person who can do that, because it would mean I would truly be living in the abundant life He wants for me. And those are some great...

    How do I get on fire for God again?

    Wow, that video really really frightened me. I had never thought about all of the implications that being luke warm had, and now I know how imperitive it is that I strive to truly burn for God. I'm not sure what I'm going to do, but I'll trust that God will lead me and show me His glory so I can...

    How do I get on fire for God again?

    Wow aldar, thanks for that. That really does make a lot of sense. I definately can see that this very well could be a maturing process, which is obviously a good thing though. One thing that is kind of bothering me though, is that even though I've been doing everything on my part to get closer...

    What are we good for?

    This reminds me of the saying/explanation of why God created us. Since He is just and holy, the single most selfless thing a perfect God could do would be create others to enjoy His company. That saying makes a lot of sense to me :P But yeah, we are pretty broken creatures that have thankfully...
