    Well, I'm finally getting baptized

    Kind of in the same boat. I accepted Christ into my life late last year, and since then have been going to church. Looking to get baptized this weekend. My wife grew up as a muslim, and at this point in her life I don't think she knows what she believes. She went to church with me a few...

    Mind = Blown

    I agree, I definitely realize what Jesus did for us on the cross and that we deserve Hell. Though we deserve it, it's is definitely not a place I want to go. So believe me, I thank the Lord regularly for saving me from that. Truly am thankful for that, I'm just saying I'm even more thankful...

    Mind = Blown

    I believe what should fuel our desires to evangelize and spread the gospel is our knowledge of how awesome it is to have a relationship with God, what knowing Jesus has done for us, and the awesome changes the holy spirit makes in us. I don't want to know that the only reason I convinced...

    Mind = Blown

    I personally just accept the fact that God knows what he's doing. There is so much about God that no matter how much we try to grasp it with our minds, we will just never understand. So for me personally, I just have faith that God is righteous and just, and if torment is truly the fate of...

    i need help taming my evil tongue

    I agree with the poster above me. Praise the lord every chance you get. On your way to work, just thank him for everthing he has done for you. On your way to the store, before you eat, before you sleep, before you wake up, anytime you are alone, you get the picture. Praise him, thank him...

    Marijuana

    I use to smoke weed almost everyday, and now I feel it is definitely a sin, at least it is for me. Here's why. First, as christians we are to obey the authorities over us. Just that simple fact alone makes it a sin, because marijuana is illegal at the moment, at least where I live. 2, I was...

    How to overcome a HUGE sin that is holding me back and destroying me inside

    I struggled with this as well, but I am happy to say it's been almost 4 months since I have looked at inappropriate content. I don't even have any desire to look at it at this point. I was only able to do this with the help of God. The one thing that you have to do, which is the hardest thing, is you...

    how do you deny yourself

    Jesus said that it's easier for a camel to go through an eye of a needle than for a rich man to get into heaven. Most rich people will put there money and possesions before God. So when he says to deny yourself, he is saying don't put your faith in worldly things or possessions. So if you are...

    walking with God and tithe

    Nowhere in the New Testament does it say we are to give 10%, that was an Old Testament law for the Israelites. Give what in your heart to give. Lots of churches preach the 10% "rule". But if they are pushing it to the point where it makes you uncomfortable or they are singling you out for it...

    I am newly saved. I need some prayers please! Serious temptations.

    Hi Zack. I too had problems with inappropriate contentography and lust. It wasn't until I accepted Jesus into my life that I was able to take control of these things. The solution is your relationship with God. The closer you get to him, the more you will realize you don't need to do these things. You have...

    So... hi.

    Sorry to hear about your family problems. It may seem that God is not there, but believe me when I tell you that he is. We all have to go through trials in life. There are reasons for that. For people who may not know him, he uses these trials in hope that they may turn to him for help and...

    Lost

    Not sure if this will help, but I will tell you about my own experience. I was at a point in my life where I was smoking weed everyday and I was addicted to inappropriate contentography. I had tried to stop multiple times, but everytime I ended up going back to it sooner or later. It wasn't until I accepted...

    Hello everyone

    What's up everybody, my name is Hiram and I just joined the site yesterday. I'll be 35 in March. I've always had a belief in God, but I was never sure about religion. With so many out there, how could I know what was real and what wasn't? So my thing was, as long as I had a belief in God...
