    What does "The fear of the Lord"mean?

    Actually I can't point to it directly in the OT.... but god said, "Foolish men teach their children to fear me." God is your father. He wants you to submit yourself to him because it is good for you. God is good. God is love. Serving him means those things. It's not like serving man...

    Why I lost Christianity

    I think many people leave Christianity for the wrong reasons. First..... why are you a Christian to begin with? Most of the time people consider themselves "Christians" because they were raised that way. At some point they rebel against their parents and all they stand for. Many of them...

    I need everyone's prayers

    BTW... sorry..... to adress your specific problem of anxiety. I cannot imagine what that's like. In my own life I've been able to ease anxiety through jogging. Mental discipline techniques like meditation can help. And of course prayer has gone a long way. I often fine myself tearing...

    I need everyone's prayers

    I'm so glad that I found your post. There is so much I'd like to help you with. First.... forget conviction. Stop thinking about that. We are accountable for everything we say and do. But conviction is an end result and it's NOT what you think. Neither is servitude to god. What we...

    Husband

    I wish I had better advice. The only other thing I will say is that if your marriage falls..... stay with god. Don't hate yourself for the mistakes you've made. God will not hate you. He told us point blank that he would write his law on our hearts (conscience) and blot out our sins from his...

    marriage restoration ,wifes salvation

    I will pray for you. But each person has an individual track toward god. And many times if a marriage is failing it's a long track down. If both of you are willing to try then you have a chance. But if one or the other wants out..... there is not much you can do. Therefore I pray for peace...

    Husband

    It's a tough situation. I've seen a few couples survive this type of thing. Those who do.... still suffer from it down the road. If you really want your marriage to work.... you may have to be patient. Don't get me wrong. You should not accept his affair (or attempt.) That's not what I...

    Fear of Repentance and Believing

    And the Prodigal son returns. What does the man do to his long lost son who has left and acted wickedly? He clothes him in his finest cloak. He loves him. I was once the same. I actually felt the same way about the bible. I was also terrified of repentance and servitude. Because I did...

    prayer request

    It would be difficult to pray for you without more information. But I will try. I pray for peace in your relationship with your sister. I pray for understanding. I pray that god will lay his hand on your hearts and let you both rest. In Jesus name... Amen.

    Lot's daughters praise?

    I think of it as a sacrifice. Lot knew the men were angles. Or at least he knew they were something special. This is speculation of course. But I tend to think Lot was willing to sacrifice his daughter. I don't think he threw her out freely or without care. I think he was willing to...
