I have struggled with inappropriate content for 19 years. Two years ago my girlfriend and I started dating and having sex. I was going to sex addiction treatment at the time. At the beginning of this year my girlfriend and I talked to our pastor about wanting to get married. We told him what I've been...

The sex issue has been the primary issue for a long time, but there's also the fact that we're in our forties, and getting older while I can't work effectively to find a job, being disabled. So I can't just get married - the finances won't work until I find something I can do. I've been looking...

We met about 2-1/2 years ago. We have both been Christians for several years by that time. We were very weak, and had sex several times before I asked her to reconsider that part of the relationship. This cycle happened so many times over 2-1/2 years, that by the time we decided we wanted to...

In Isaiah 43:18-19 it says 18 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. 19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. Our pastor taught on this last Sunday...

In Romans 3:22, in the KJV, Paul writes ..Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe... This short snippet of verse indicates something really important to me, being scripture backs up the fact that Jesus himself had faith. I hadn't...

A common theme runs through much of the new Testament books, as they progress these steps seem evident. The Gospel of Jesus Christ.. 1. God is whom we are accountable. 2. Our problem is that we rebelled against God. 3. God's solution to humanity's sin is the sacrificial death and...

You're right in that the covenant with Noah happened first. This covenant was a promise God made to all generations never to destroy the earth with water again. That the next time God destroys it will be with fire. It probably has deeper meaning I'm not aware of - where I haven't put 2 and 2...

The Old Testament testament - a proven testimony, testifying of a promise The first covenant or testament ever made was between God and Abram in Genesis 15: 1 After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram. I am thy shield, and thy exceeding...

What a friend we have in Jesus All our sins and griefs to bear What a priveledge to carry Everything to God in prayer. John 15:15 No longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends...

OK, you are misunderstanding me. Good luck was meant just as other people use it.. my gosh, do we have to spiritualize every little letter of the law??? Is that really what the Holy Spirit desires of us? And of course I believe you're saved! Why is my opinion now so important here? What has...

Hear then the parable of the sower. When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is the one on whom seed was sown beside the road….. (Matthew 13:18-19) Spiritual blindness causes us not to...

It's important to be obedient or good, as a believer, because if you go the opposite way and sin in the land of the living, you will reap consequences in the land of the living. But to unbelievers, be yourself - and seek God. God, not yourself, will make you righteous.

I don't deny Christ, and don't deny the Scripture. You seemed to have left out one of the most pivotal verses out of my response, Romans 8:1 For there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. And for the record, the father met the prodigal son halfway. Do you judge and...

As strong of an issue I pushed, of osas, a Calvanistic approach that those who fall away were never part of those who truly believed (1 John 2:19) in the first place, and the promise to those who are born again (1 John 5:4), honestly I grapple with it. I wonder if much that we don't understand...

John was so secure in Jesus’ love, he was able to lean on Jesus’ breast and ask him, “Who will betray you?” as tears rolled down because He didn’t want it to be himself. He didn't really know. Jesus gave an answer in John 14:15. John captured Jesus’ words...

patience7 and Handmaid for Jesus, you two have put into words what I've failed to do. Thanks.

The Gospel is of the Holy Spirit.

Sorry, I'm like a cat on a mouse - I'm following you lol.. Jerushabelle, this verse mean once you know the truth, you know it. Nothing can snatch the sealed truth from someone who now knows the truth. Just like once you know how to ride a bike, you may get rusty but you will always know...

If it's good enough the first time, just think how renewing our mind with it will help. That's very biblical.
