I am speaking the truth in Christ I am not lying; my conscience bears me witness in the Holy Spirit that I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart. For I could wish that I myself were accursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brothers, my kinsmen according to the flesh...

"The divine Son became a Jew; the Almighty appeared on earth as a helpless human baby, unable to do more than lie and stare and wriggle and make noises, needed to be fed and changed and taught to talk like any other child... The more you think about it, the more staggering it gets." -- J. I. Packer

I'm not trying to figure out how much sin I can do and still be a Christian. I know all sin is based on a lie and I don't want it anyway. But I'm still stuck in this flesh and put that together with Aspergers and dealing with problems with alcohol for 15 years... I'm trying to understand if...

I used to get on this site a lot years ago. I didn't get the Aspergers diagnosis until a few years ago. It took until age 30 to finally figure out why I wasn't fitting in socially at all. It's just so hard I read the Bible and listen to sermons and go to church and I want to love and help...

I don't want to look at self help stuff just to feel better. I have disabilities and used alcohol to escape and try and have control and I just got out of control for years. See I can't just blame everything on disabilities. And I really hate myself; and I'm not sure if that's a bad thing or...

I know Christ exists eternally but what about in flesh? And if not, on what basis was His fleshly form based on? I can't imagine His fleshly body's appearance was randomly based. Could it be based on what the first Adam looked like since He was "the second Adam"? I've assumed that in flesh...

I'm loving going through some of these sermon series; right now I'm about 15 sermons into the 70 sermon series just on the Gospel of John (Romans is over 300!) I believe we should be a part of a local church body if possible but these are great to listen to daily, or if you can't make it to a...

Spurgeon's Morning and Evening Devotions I remember from years ago these devotions giving me peace to a very troubled state of mind, thorns that don't seem will ever go away. I welcome all of you to read and comment, and if I miss a day you are welcome to go to the Spurgeon website (a LOT of...

I've read verses about suffering in Christ and the topic is a bit confusing because of my situations. I have fear that I'm not suffering enough for Christ. That my sufferings I go through are from my sin, therefore not in/with Christ. I've been diagnosed bi-polar and high functioning...

Don't think I've ever posted in here. I'm 32 (I think) and wasn't diagnosed until around 3 years ago with Aspergers (I just call it high functioning Autism for obvious reasons...I do have problems socially as it is!). I hope to minister to Christians with Aspergers/Autism. I couldn't find...

I know "good works" aren't always physical activity, but it's distressing for me when I read Eph 2:8-10 (also John 15:4-6 is bothering me). Eph 2:8-10 - "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one...

My only outlet is the computer/internet with the outside world really. I graduated college at Liberty U but couldn't go on for a Masters or even get a job after the bi-polar started to get worse along with the social phobia's with the Aspergers. And medicine's are always having issues taking...

I'm confused. It seems that the modern view of Lucifer/Satan changed significantly a few hundred years ago and in early Christianity, compared to how the Jews did. Shouldn't we as Christians have the same view as the Jews did since the OT is just as infallible? Is "Lucifer" the planet Venus...

"The loneliness of the Christian results from his walk with God in an ungodly world, a walk that must often take him away from the fellowship of good Christians as well as from that of the unregenerate world. His God-given instincts cry out for companionship with others of his kind, others who...

I have a long story and don't mean to sound desperate for friends; and I'm getting to the point to accept that I only have Christ. But I really could use some support somehow. No one seems to be on the same page I am at church. People have families and hobbies and all I do is obsess over God...

I have a long story. I don't want to define my life as having Aspergers, but it does explain a lot. I've known Jesus since I was little, and was bullied growing up by people, and used a lot even through my 20's in some bad ways. But to escape from the social isolation and abuse I turned to...

Very hard to do and out of my comfort zone but God got me through it. I didn't edit or review it so I'm a bit nervous... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9kF7IfKFB8

I've looked a bit into God's Holiness and examples like Job and Isaiah when they see God (if I'm correct) they cover their mouths with "unclean lips" and are "undone" and disgusted with themselves in the presence of God. If I stay in the realization of God's Holiness, my corruption and...

I don't know if it's ok to post the link or if I should copy/paste the text, but here is what God has done in my life and how He has loved me beyond my comprehension and given me the amazing gift to love Him and others. Dear God, A Love Letter | laughatmypain
