Jesus says that if our hand or eye cause us to sin, we need to pluck it out. How does this refer to food? How do we know if food makes us sin? I'm uncertain because the last sin God helped me overcame was obsession about food. It's gone but each time my mom makes a cake it's almost as if my...

I am not a real convert. I have had numerous experiences of false conversions and after one or two weeks of seeming victory against sin being completely either unwilling or unable to give up something. Few days ago, perhaps even a week, I realized that my mind started focusing on earthly stuff...

I've been thinking about this whole days and sometimes it feels like such a weight that I can't stop thinking about it unless I start reading the Bible. The thing is, my brother has a confirmation on Saturday and I'm very aware that there are going to be a lot of awesome cakes and I just can't...

Recently I have been going through some struggle but the whole time I forgot to set my mind on God. It can even happen to me in the middle of Bible reading. What are some ways we can keep our mind set on the things above? I'm sure that good answers will be very profitable to others because...

My problem isn't overeating but an obsession. I know I have to be on a narrow way that few enter, which is the light in which I want to view my life. I'll be short, anyway. I would once a week get a chocolate from my parents. Few months ago I would just eat it and share some but now if I...

I am a bit perplexed by this. It's not just a theological matter but also a personal one which is why I'm asking.

This was another one of strange dreams and it even had something in common with another two I had before. I do remember that before I used to think what this may be about and I was always able to connect it with my past life and my, now gone, video games addiction of two years ago but this...

Hi. I hope you have some time. I will not be too long but the story is a bit too complex for five sentences. Last year, after the Lord showed me that I'm a hypocrite and not really after Him at all, something happened. I started having intrusive thoughts about God and others, sometimes even...

Hey. I thought I'd post here since I don't have anyone to talk to about this. I'm having repeated dreams the last couple days about my old life. It's really making my prayer life and devotionals extremely difficult. I keep having dreams about this game I played, that was mostly social but...

Just a question. When Jesus said to hate our life in this world, did He mean just the sin of it or everything? Because I'm reading through some things and I can't help but wonder if we are called to abstain from stuff as much as we can? For example, I'm going home from college and am passing...

I've been to a dentist today and he discovered something rather funny to me. I am not gonna say that this is a warning from the LORD because I don't think it's a punishment sign at all but I had to extract one tooth; number 6. I've got one more number 6 to extract and he said that lower number 6...

...there's some sort of darkness in your life? Because everything seems to go wrong for me. Latest thing is that people from my small group started ignoring me. I can't really put my finger on it but it has been like this my whole life. Everyone who ever became my friend left me soon after...

Hi. I just wanted to ask one thing. I don't know why this keeps happening to me for a recent few days but I find myself often telling to me "Nothing makes sense.". Few days ago I heard that that is actually a sin. May sound strange so I'll get to the point. Why does life sometimes feel so...

Here goes: my parents, who are Catholic, want me to stay home today. I told them I'm not a Catholic anymore but they keep insisting and now they want me to attend the mass. Catholics celebrate Sacred Heart of Jesus today in Croatia (I don't know if it's the same elsewhere) so my parents...

I really had no idea I lived with this for a year as a Christian. I thought that being Spirit led and Spirit filled is the same thing. I'm not sure anymore if I'm Spirit filled. How does a person get Spirit filled? Upon conversion or later?

Hello. The title may be misleading so I'll restate it as best I can. I've been wondering today about some things. I managed to get an idol of video games out of my life totally. It's been tough, mostly because in my weakness I was prone to forget that the Lord is faithful, but now I'm wondering...

Why do I have so much problems in studying? I have no clue if this is the right section to post this. I've been studying for 5 hours today out of which 2 and half hours my mind kept wondering about everything. I wanted to do 4 pages today but I didn't even do two yet. :( Been praying...

I don't know what's up with me for the last two days. My soul is pressed at all sides and the same cycle happens daily. I can go victorious in bed, rejoicing at the fact that God loves me and the next morning same old problems. This has seriously impacted my prayers. I'm going to seek advice...

It's difficult being a Christian. One day I go to bed with another victory over my sin of worldliness and another day it's like somebody brainwashed me during night. It's hard to follow Jesus when the world is kicking in so hard. I wanna follow no matter what, even if I loose my sanity. I...

Is this verse talking about getting a job? Matthew 11:28 "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." This might be an usual question and I might go into a heresy here so please rebuke me if I am. I'm still trying to figure out if what I "found out" is the truth...
