    Praising God through suffering

    Thank you for this, my friend. This has been the theme of my prayers this morning. Difficulties all around and I feel pressed in from every side it seems. I'm trying to focus on the fact that God is God and, while these trials don't seem light or momentary, they are. And if I get nothing...

    New to Christ, mentally ill, struggling

    Welcome and thank you so much for sharing. I know that probably wasn't easy to hit the "Post" button. If you don't mind me asking, what do you mean by saying that you lose touch with reality if you read the Bible too long? That must be frustrating. Thank you for telling me. It says a lot...

    Hi. Made this account to seek wisdom and advice

    Hi, Sonnessa. It sounds like you have a guilty heart like I do...not easy to deal with at times. One of my favorite scriptures to go to when feeling guilty or condemned is in Hebrews 10: "11 Day after day every priest stands and performs his religious duties; again and again he offers the...

    Difference between churches of Christ

    From KJV it seems (to me) to say the same thing: "And now why tarriest thou? Arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord." Did you include the entire verse in the post I quoted? I'm not trying to be argumentative...just want to know where you're coming from.

    Mental illness

    Amen, brother. My prayers go out for you. I am friends with several people who have various mental illness issues and I can say that their friendship has taught me a lot about love. I sat in a darkened room with one of them for several hours when He was in a deep depression because, honestly...

    Do We Truly Love Jesus?

    Thank you for this. One scripture I always think of regarding this is John 21:15-17 when Jesus asks Peter three times if he loves Him. Each time Peter replies "yes", Jesus responds with "feed my sheep". It reminds me that the call to love Jesus and to love LIKE Jesus always ends up with an...

    Difference between churches of Christ

    Paul's recollection of his conversion in Acts 22 (verse 16, specifically) answers the question for me: "Now why do you delay? Get up and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on His name." It seems that he entered baptism looking forward to having his sins forgiven. Thoughts?

    porn has ruined my mind

    I know exactly what you're talking about, brother. Recent months have been a huge struggle for me regarding pornography. I will pray for you as well as the original poster, looking4joy. Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated...
