    For my Grandma and my Dad

    My grandma is in the ICU tonight, her heart and kidneys are failing. They are going to do dialysis to try to save her and give her a few more weeks, but there is a chance the dialysis could lower her blood pressure too much and kill her. She is my Dad's mom, and my Dad is away on business in...

    Limited atonement obsession: How can I know I was one of those for whom Christ died?

    I was a five point calvinist at one point, now I am not sure where I stand on some of the points, such as limited atonement. I also struggled and sometimes still struggle with the issue. One argument that works for me is to realize that the Bible says if you believe in Jesus you are saved. It...

    No hope

    Things got better for a while, they're back in the pits now but that's just the nature of the beast. I'm slowly starting to realize that God is right here with me through all of this.

    Leap of Faith

    For months now I've been bombarded with this idea of a leap of faith, whether in sermons, the radio, movies, pictures, the phrase continues to show up constantly to the point that it no longer feels like a coincidence. I think God might be telling me to take a leap of faith somehow, but I'm not...

    The Power of the Cross

    Having just read the old cross and the new by AW Tozer, I am hungry for more teaching on the cross. It seems that the power of the cross is not a popular message anymore, and I don't even know where to begin my search. If anyone has any good links or reading reccomendations about the cross I...

    Has This Happened To You?

    I'm not sure if my comment will help much, but I experience the same thing. I've gone psychotic when manic and depressed, and while my psychiatrist and my mother recognize there is a problem, my dad and my therapist just don't see it. It's like because I'm not the classic kind of bipolar or the...

    I need help

    I sit here writing this at 1:30 in the morning because I can't sleep. I've started cutting of late, and I need help in a bad way. I hate myself. I dissapoint God and I can't stop. I know Christ took the punishment for my sins, but it seems like I'm just robbing God every time I sin. So I cut...

    No hope

    When my OCD was bad this time last year I had plenty of times where I'd hit the end of my rope and God would do something or put something in my life that gave me comfort and let me know He was still with me. It was almost uncanny how it worked and it brought me tremendous joy and hope. After a...

    Questioning

    Well, I am not a doctor, but doubting stuff like that can be a symptom of OCD. It's true a lot of us doubt things like our salvation or God's existence. Maybe stick around for a while and read up, the advice here is good. And if the problem is causing a lot of anxiety you may want to consider...
