    What makes a true convert?

    Have been listening to many Jonathan Edwards sermons and have been getting absolutely picked apart. Want to say I have hope in Christ, but is it self-love? Do I truly hate sin, do I view it as God sees it, etc? Want to hear what others think on it, because I don't want to be self-deceived.

    How to Surrender time to God Everyday?

    Have been wondering, while I know we are to glorify God in everything we do, should rests be a daily occurrence or bi-daily or what? While I know that it might be the will of God that we should rest, lest we grow weary and the devil exploit us with blasphemous thoughts, I still kind of feel like...

    Can't tell if I'm saved

    I've been trying to get saved for over a month now, and I'm wondering if I was saved from the start. Over a month ago, I was drawn to the Bible after a thought told me "These women are going to kill you" while I was sinning, I brushed it off at first but after 3 times I started getting visceral...

    Pray for me to call upon the name of the Lord

    I have a deep fear of hell and I'm starting to lie to myself in believing I'm calling upon His name earnestly. I fear my heart is starting to accept the lie and my chance to be saved is rapidly reducing. Pray that the deceit be pulled out and that I would cry out to be saved from my sins.

    I have created a God of wrath who only seeks to damn, what do?

    Some context, before I truly came to the faith I had a tendency to listen to songs that cast God in a... ruthless light to say the least. (HANL - Deatconsciousness for example) Therefore I already have a pretty sorry view of God in the first place. However, as I have read the Bible in earnest, I...

    I sold my birthright like Esau 2 years ago is there any point in hope?

    Context: 2 years ago, I "came to the faith" (read the Bible) and shortly after dropped out of the faith, using a tragedy to fall back into my immorality. Although I didn't know that I had sins to repent of nor a savior to accept nor a hell to fear nor a heaven to long for I abandoned God. Now...

    Feel like I don't love God enough, if at all

    Recently it's felt like I haven't loved God enough, if at all. Whenever I read His Word, I feel my teeth grit at some parts and weird facial expressions I can't really describe. While they most often happen when I read of His holiness (and I am very scared of Him, I am still coming to terms with...

    Is there any point in getting involved in "worldly" activities?

    By worldly I mean sciences, entertainment etc. I know we are to keep a loose grip on everything here and be completely content with ditching it if He commands for any reason (if one is even given), but I have a really deep passion for engineering and aerospace. Is there any point in pursuing...

    How to not do salvation by works?

    Hello, I recently came to the faith and it really feels like I'm trying to do a hop skip and a jump over Christ. While I originally came seeking to escape some dark thoughts (sin), I had a week long ordeal where I couldn't even go to sleep without thinking of hell whenever I found out about it...
