    My mom has coronavirus! Please pray!

    My mom has coronavirus. She got a positive test result the day before yesterday. I would please love prayers if you would be so kind to do so. She and her husband are currently in quarantine together at her house. I am too because I was around them Sunday. She has shortness of breath, heavy...

    Is Jesus Christ the center of your life?

    I want to get honest opinions here. Is Jesus Christ the center of your life? He is the central figure of Christianity and is our source of love, comfort, pardon, and EVERYTHING. I ask this because it seems more and more people think that being a Christian is all about going to church on Sundays...

    Struggle against crushes/obsessions/loneliness

    I have a constant struggle with getting crushes on people out of human loneliness. I hate getting these crushes and I let them become obsessive. I yell at myself in my mind to stop it when I often get these constant images of spending time with the significant other and just feeling loved by...

    When sin makes you feel numb/depressed

    I write this as I feel completely numb and depressed. I really don't understand myself. I am addicted to inappropriate content. As soon as I look at it and let sin fully happen, I feel complete sadness and guilt and shame. However, I will be back to looking at it again and repeat the process again and again. It...

    With Fear and Trembling...

    I was wanting people's opinions on what it means to "work out your salvation with fear and trembling." After falling into sin and feeling horribly guilty and ashamed to even approach God, I sometimes fear I have lost salvation. The Bible mentions again and again that salvation is a free gift but...

    Depressed because of living in this world...

    Does anyone else get depressed simply by the daily grind of this world? I know Jesus and all his promises of Heaven and his love for me. I never debate that and in fact this knowledge brings me great joy, as it should. I get depressed because the everyday grind seems pointless almost. I get this...

    Christian Screamo/Hip-Hop Video!

    My cousin is in a Christian band that could be labeled Screamo/Hip-Hop and I thought I'd share it here to get them some exposure and to see what you think. The secular world has been very harsh to them but they continue to have a positive attitude about their music. The song is called "My Town"...

    Thoughts and images of Hell...

    I have a problem with thinking about Hell too much. Hell has always frightened me as it should of course and I do try to think about it as little as possible. I see loved ones that I know aren't saved and the worst part is sometimes I will get these horrible images of them in Hell in my mind I...

    Pray for my mother and her terrible infection!

    My mother has recently gotten a very infected tooth that has moved from the gums to her neck. She went to the emergency room and I just hope everything turns out OK because she can barely move her neck and she says that the infection seems to be spreading. They put her on antibiotics and pain...

    I am a hypocrite in need of God's grace!

    I know that many people on here, mostly men, are going to identify with my struggle. I am a man who has battled with inappropriate contentography and homosexual desires. Just when I think Jesus has freed me from my shackles I fall back into the pit of looking at inappropriate contentography. I don't understand how I can live...

    Random thoughts about Israel...

    I was reading my Bible the other night and had a random thing dawn over me about Israel. I don't know if anyone has discussed this because I haven't seen a thread of this type myself. We all know how Israel is God's chosen nation. The other night it dawned on me that Israel can be seen as a...

    I have such a twisted mind! I want freed!

    I have been in the process of dedicating my life to Christ for the past 3 months or so. However, the main thing that keeps getting in the way and making me feel condemned at times is the utter disgusting and vile thoughts my mind conjures! I randomly get blasphemous thoughts and twisted imagery...

    Joy of being with fellow believers

    I just wanted to say how much I thirst to be in the company of more believers in my new Christian life. There is something so gratifying about openly discussing God, forgiveness, Jesus, love, gaining strength from above, and all the other promises and stories found in the Bible. I pray to...

    Can I be forgiven for this? Please help!

    I recently redevoted my life to God (about 3 weeks ago) and have been trying to do everything that I think would please him. I know that you don't get into Heaven by works alone but I know you have to make sacrifices and live in the right way for Him. Anyway, the other day I sinned very...
