I am the same way! There have been so many times where I see other people in the church raising their hands, saying "Amen!", and getting all emotional, and I think to myself that I should be more like them.. I just don't feel anything. I can definitely relate to being more intellectual than...

Hi Taha, my new sister in Christ! I am thrilled that you want to know more about Jesus! There is a parable in Mark 4 about a farmer scattering seed, and I think this parable will be helpful for you to know. Mark 4:1-20. Your faith in Jesus is so precious and the enemy (the devil) will try to...

Thank you for your reply :) I am familiar with that verse. I had to look up the word Holle and realized it was the German word for Hell. It took me a while to process what you meant. You're right that we don't just attend church and then just live in sin because that is what the hypocrites do...

Please pray for me. How can one be sure that their faith is genuine? That their love for God is genuine? Everyday, I need forgiveness for loving the world more than Him.

Poisonous animals are dangerous absolutely! But I think they are also blessings in disguise. Poison dart frogs, jellyfish, venomous snakes, and scorpions are all used to help make medicine, a lot of their poison can actually be used as pain-killers! Kind of ironic right? Though I would never...

me too.. how I wish my heart was passionate for God like that of my grandmother and so many other good Christians I know. They pray with such sincerity to God and they seem to be wholehearted in their worship of Him. I know I shouldn't compare myself with others, but.. and yes, I don't know...

Thank you for the encouragement. I'm familiar with that verse. The 2 parts I worry about in Revelations is chapter 2 the warning to the church in Ephesus (you have lost your first love) and chapter 3 the warning to the church in Laodecia (you are neither hot nor cold). I'm so lucky to have...

Thank you. I pray that God will restore your heart too, replacing the stone with flesh. (I have the NLT version and it says "a tender and responsive heart" rather than a "a heart of flesh.") I hope God not only gives us mercy, but helps us to respond to that mercy with wholehearted praise. I...

I hope so. There has to be. I wish I could be more reassuring to you. God is a God of justice and His judgement of us is fair. Though I may doubt it later, right now, I think there is hope for us if we just rely on Him. Lets pray for each other (even if you feel like it'll be in vain). My name...

You may not believe me but I've had a similar experience. There was more than one occasion when I really almost committed that horrible sin of apostasy. I deliberately thought to myself about abandoning God for the things of this world, and I felt absolutely nothing at all. Even at the thought...

My heart is dead too. I don't have any emotion to prove that I love others or God. No sorrow for sin, just total indifference and numbness. I wonder what is true repentance? I'm sure simply confessing one's wrongs are not enough. Should there not be some godly sorrow, humility, and deep longing...

Thank you for your advice! I don't really understand myself, but I know God does. I keep looking up to Him, because I know there's no other way to have true life.

It has been a long time... I'm a sophomore in college now, and I started having horrible wicked thoughts against God around.. I guess late middle-school, early high school. I was a young teen. At first, I was afraid to tell anyone about the thoughts, but eventually I told my sister, my mom, and...

Totally off the subject but is that your cat as your profile picture? He/she is so gorgeous!!

I too worry whether or not I have committed the sin of Hebrews 6:4-6 and Hebrews 10:26-30. I have a beautiful, loving family and church. I have been a Christian all my life with good and loving parents and a God-loving grandmother. I find myself filled with apathy towards God and towards his...

I have been a Christian all my life and I am struggling through the same thing. I don't feel like I bear any fruit, and I get irritable with good Christian people who love me and God. I don't want to be that way. Why do I feel annoyed when people worship God with such sincerity in their hearts...
