    How can I die to self?

    Every time I pray for God to forgive my sins, I don’t (as far as I know) have any trouble confessing them, and telling God that I believe Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, but when I get to the part that says Jesus is Lord, I get this resistant feeling in my chest. No matter how much I want...

    Class 4 Addresses

    I’m reading the Security+ study guide (which is really interesting so far), and to cut to the point. How do you calculate an address class range (number of possible IPs) if that class does not have a network mask?

    Too cowardly to save

    Over the past four years I’ve struggled. There have been several cycles of me thinking I’m finally saved, having every intention to tell someone about Jesus, then fail miserably, and eventually just go my own way. Then after a few months (or even a whole year) I suddenly remember that the...

    Cleaning PC

    So last night I was playing Starcraft 2, and I noticed that my PC was louder than usual, so I felt the exhaust vent and instead of being lukewarm like usual, it was actually pretty hot. I’m assuming the PC has some dust buildup inside or something. I’m afraid of using compressed air because I...

    A different kind of personality test

    A lot of people do Meyers-Briggs or Enneagram. Both can be accurate, but there are questions that are hard to answer because the answer you want is not there. Dr. John Trent created this personality test based on four animals: A lion, an otter, a golden retriever, and a beaver. My...

    Possible COVID

    Hello, I’m currently experiencing mild symptoms like congestion and a small cough. I’m also running a slightly above 99 temperature. I exhibit asthmatic symptoms, and I am quite fearful. I’m concerned that this may be God’s judgement against me. I thank you for your prayers.

    Terms & Conditions

    I know this might sound silly, but for one of my class sites, theres a T&C that pops up, preventing me from doing my lab. The checkbox says I have read the terms and conditions. There is a lot to read, and I very much want to check the box, but I haven’t read them yet. Is it wrong to check the...

    Good Study Habits

    I opened this thread because I figured we’d be able to help each other out. This can be for online and in-person, as both bring their challenges. One thing that I’ve found is that if I write stuff down, I tend to retain information better.

    My heart is like a stone

    Why, when I think about following Jesus, do I get this churning feeling in my chest that feels like my very heart is saying no? I hate it, and it scares me. I don’t want to be opposed to Jesus, and yet it feels like I don’t even care. I’ve asked God to help me to want to follow Jesus, and to...

    Cable Management

    Me again, I was just wondering, in terms of cable management, what I can do better (bear in mind that there is not routing in the back of the case, because there’s no room.) Currently, most of the cables protruding from the PSU are either stuffed beneath the optical drive (if not in use)...

    Hit another wall in PC build

    So I left my mobo sitting on top of the box for 5+ days. Today I just decided to get on with it, screwed in the mobo, shorted the power headers, and everything started working. So I got everything else plugged in (USB3, front panel headers, Optical drive SATA cable, etc), and I fired it up. I...

    Would you consider this OCD?

    So I stick shelves at Wal-Mart. Sometimes we have to stock items like pregnancy tests, performance enhancing supplements, and other items like that. I didn’t have a problem stocking items like that a few months ago, but lately I’ve been setting those items aside because they give me so much...

    OCD or Conviction

    So for Christmas I received parts to build a PC. Today is the day I was finally able to put it together. I was doing my daily Bible study and in one of the commentaries I read, it mentioned material things coming between us and God. It sounded very pointed as I was eager to get started building...

    First PC Build

    So I was building my first PC today, and unfortunately, I’m at a standstill. One of the screws in the motherboard is stuck in a standoff, and I think I’m done for today. I should’ve stopped when my PC guy told me to, but I figured I was about done, so I kept going. Additionally, I cannot get the...

    Feeling Empty and Useless

    Honestly, these days I can’t imagine God loving me. All I can think about is how cross He is at me. I am an evil coward, and I’m so deeply rooted in my own abilities. I’m always afraid to share Jesus with others, and it makes me feel anxious to no end. I don’t ever feel truly sorry for my sins...

    Brother not Feeling Well

    I received a text from my mother saying my brother (adopted) went to the emergency room (COVID-19 related), and is now back at home feeling bad. I ask for prayers for him and his biological sisters and niece that live with him, that they don’t catch the virus from him.

    Question Regarding Drinking

    So I may be hanging out with a friend tonight, and he asked me if it would offend me if he drank around me. I know where’s he’s coming from, because he and some of my other friends know that I don’t drink. I personally don’t think I would be offended by it, and I don’t believe I would be tempted...

    Not me

    Hello, Lately I’ve been reading through the Old Testament, specifically about the Israelites being led by God through the wilderness. I’ve noticed that I relate to the Israelites in many ways. I often struggle with doubting my salvation (and mental illness). However, I think my primary...

    How did the semester go?

    Personally, I just finished my first official semester of Information Technology (changed majors from education), and my grades suffered significantly because I procrastinated and did not set aside enough time to study and do my work. I did manage to pass with 2 B’s and a C. Hopefully next...
