Anxiety will really mess up your gut. You may find going without carbs and sugar will give you a lot of relief and energy. Long term the anxiety needs to get under control. A relaxing job even if it means living in a house half the size. Lots of exercise. Start walking and get up to 2 miles...

If you desire to go against the will of God by marrying an unbeliever it is evidence that you very likely do not have a genuine faith in God and a heart that wants to do his will. This would mean that you are unsaved. That you have not experienced the new birth and would spend eternity in hell...

Often when we start praying for a spouse it isnt that God doesnt start sending potentials our way, its that we arent satisfied with the ones he sends our way. Granted it is harder for a man than a woman. Women worth marrying are truly hard to find. But nothing is impossible through prayer...

I would probably just feel bad for wasting the time of all the people I didn't end up hiring.

So, I know this sounds really weird but this actually is something that I am struggling with. I am realizing that I have a problem with a hyper sensitive conscience. I know that it is a problem. But I do not have the ability to control it. I constantly feel condemnation and guilt at even the...

What can you do with.. Roman 13:10 "Love does not do evil (wrong) to its neighbor" ..other than become a total pacifist?

So basically love sometimes does do evil "wrong" to its neighbor? If that neighbor is threatening your family? Nobody can argue that Jesus does not consider all mankind to be our neighbors since he said so in the parable of the Samaritan who helped the man who was robbed and beaten.

Roman 13:10 says: Love does not do evil to its neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the Law. The word for "evil" there in greek is translated "evil" most of the time in the New Testament and means evil in the most general sense. Strong's Greek: 2556. κακός (kakos) -- bad, evil So...

It seems to me that you are arguing that people who call themselves Christian through the centuries have at times done terrible things. And you are using that as a straw man argument in order to claim that my "view of history is a myth". Please read my full post if you have the time so that you...

Please correct me if I am wrong. But this is my current understanding of history: Somewhere around 1000 years ago (give or take) the western world en mass decided to seek the truth. Some nations became predominantly Catholic, some predominantly Protestant, others Orthodox, and others still...

I used to be filled with sorrow all the time. As I look back it had a lot to do with constantly thinking about sad or discouraging things. Thinking about good thing (especially thanking God) will heal you mentally and emotionally over time. As I have grown in the Lord year by year I realize...

You should be able to find people on this map who can pray with you more effectually. It is the spirit(s) at work against you through him that need to be bound. Deliverance Map — Isaiah Saldivar Dont be discouraged. It shouldn't take much prayer to turn the situation arround. If I were you I...

You may need deliverance from a demonic oppression. A spirit of fear. Or a spirit of death. Or both. It isnt normal for believers to have fear of death. Especially constant fear of death. Deliverance Map — Isaiah Saldivar

This is an extremely good question that the church has yet to address in any meaningful way. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Love your neighbor as yourself. We are free from the law. The law is now love. Also dont forget that you need to take care of your own needs as you...

Well maybe the thing you did isnt as bad as you think it is. Maybe its just a coincidence that you are struggling now and it isnt even related to your sin. Maybe your current pain isnt even the long term lethal crisis that you think it is. Maybe it will be gone in a few weeks and all you need...
