If you are the thinking person, there's two ways - Learn to let go of unhealthy overthinking, or, the second, is to study the BIBLE very deeply. Maybe learn from a good mentor who is holistic in faith. Most people are content in just having the simplest faith, but if youre having a hard time...

If you give up following the commandments then you are showing you don't really love Christ! If you love Christ, you follow Him! You will make mistakes, but like Peter, ask for forgiveness than go on in obedience once again. Do not be content in saying, "Its impossible for me to obey these...

You went overboard, bro (or sis), sometimes, you should use discernment to notice if EVIL is at work in a situation, and its my opinion that the person used you. But then, who knows, right? God uses even our mistakes to work his wonders. You showed this person the Gospel by the way you...

You can find the Will of God in many ways: First and foremost, you can find his WILL in the Scripture. Follow what it says and you will live a holy life - that, we can be sure is God's will, it's repeated throughout the Bible. Now the more practical - you can also find God's will by direct...

A Christian should HATE sin as God HATES sin. The word "hate" in the Bible in context often means "cannot tolerate." So if you intentionally sin, then that's a problem of the heart and its best to analyze why you wanted to sin intentionally. If its a moment of weakness, then that's often...

You must go back to the context to arrive at the meaning of the text. First, we are not certain that Paul wrote the Epistle of Hebrews, so we can't automatically equate it to Paul's writing style. What may sound like a doctrine in the passage may actually have a different purpose, like...

Frankly, you cannot do it alone. Not even with a partner. Truth is, a multitude of "Christians" can't help you. Only Jesus can do it - prayer is only a means to ask for JESUS's intervention. The power of prayer is not in the prayer, but in the ONE WHO ANSWERS THE PRAYER. So, here's a...

When you begin to learn to see God in His Holy, Holy, Holy perfect, sovereign, and loving nature, and you see yourself as close to nothing, worth nothing, and you find out that this wonderful impossibly perfect being who needs no one, and how He loves your little worthless soul - then you'll...

I felt the same, for the majority of my life in my 20's I was nothing, alone, and depressed. It was only recently that I was freed from such a thinking, and that's when i was 33 years old. Before God called me, I was an escapist. I was not content with who I was because, quite simply, no...

Matthew 22 is awesome. But don't forget Matthew 28 as well... :)

Change the way you think. Remember what Jesus said about the sinning hand? That doesn't mean you have to cut it off literally, but functionally, the principle is the same. Remove all bad influences from your immediate vicinity - this includes friends who talk fleshly talk. Remove magazines...

I'm sorry you are having a hard time. Here's what's not often told in evangelism seminars: That evangelism starts with yourself. You cannot hope to share the Gospel to someone when your own Spirit is broken. You cannot share joy when you do not have it. You cannot share life-giving water...

To stop worrying, don't think too much about worrying. :) When you worry, you're just being human - but I won't honey-coat it, it is a weakness - but it is a weakness shared by even the strongest Christians at times. Listen to Pastors who are honest and they will tell you they struggle with the...

Welcome to the Church of Christ, Jenny! It's always a good and wonderful thing to hear of new people simply enjoying worship. I suggest start with prayer. We are powerless unless God works through us. Then, perhaps look to how your friend invited you to Church, and try that method as well...

Trust comes naturally from a relationship. It comes from knowing the other. This is the basis of most relationships that we know of, and the thing is, we know God a lot less than God knows us. And the thing is, God knows us more than we even know ourselves! What I can say is simply this -...

Be well! You're worrying, yet Christ himself said not to worry. And more so, you're worrying that God does not love you enough to give you salvation? Just trust God! As to sinfulness, there is such a thing as sanctification. Christ gave us the power to overcome sin by granting us a new...

You're doing it right, Cammie. Most Christians utter WORD prayers, which is also good. But there are times also that we should do LISTENING prayers. The pattern of WORD prayers is David, who cried out to God, while the Listening Prayer is Moses and Jesus, who never made an action without...

You're reading it wrong. Whenever reading something from the bible, don't just read the content, but the context. And the Epistle to the Hebrews is not a book of condemnation, but that of encouragement. As evidence, read the immediate context - meaning, READ the ENTIRETY of HEBREWS 10. It's...

There's a distinct fallacy here: namely, that you have to FEEL like a Christian to BE a Christian. You may be surprised to learn, that's not the case - that's just some mj people say to make themselves feel MORE special than OTHER Christians. So how do you know you are a Christian? You...

Here's a WALL of TEXT in response to a WALL of TEXT. :cool: Ok, if you're thinking about her virginity that much...and you're wondering about its effect on the relationship... well, that's the EFFECT. I honestly don't know anything about this soul tie thing... I don't even think its...
