I was reading this book by McArther on forgiveness, and one of his themes throughout the book is that God does get angry at Christians when they sin. Not like an angry judge but as a angry parent. Is that true/opinions? Or is it just our imaginations/guilty consciences that we feel his...

Could use some advice. I am growing as a Christian, but sometimes I feel overwhelmed by just the sheer list of things that I know do not meet God's standards in my life. Sure, I can confess and repent, but I am frustrated knowing that it will just cycle through again. I do well resisting...

The trouble with being finite inhabitants of the earth is that we are going to be sad when it changes. It is natural to be wary of God as we see him as the author of the sadness, when the sad fact is that that is what finite means.

Growing in faith? I could say it like this. As far as I can tell, the besetting sins that used to trip me up are much more manageable, I attend and enjoy a good church weekly, I have a fulfilling prayer and study life, and I very much enjoy digging deep into Christian theology. I don't...

By productive I mean that as far as I know I have no gross sins, am growing in faith, am responsible for my obligations, am a good mother and try be a good wife in the face of marital difficulties. I have a good education/make a good living and we are financially solvent. It just the echo...

I think I have been telling myself that I am nothing to anybody so long that I believe it, have come to terms with it, and run my life despite it. It does make me wonder though if this is the right thing to believe. I know that it is not the best way to think, but on the other hand I do live a...

Would appreciate the feedback. Unfortunately, I had neglectful parents who suffered from true mental health issues, have no extended family, and a pretty emotionally abusive husband. I have come to terms with all of the above, and accepted it as life. I have moved on, and have a wide range of...

Thanks for replying to my posts. I posted on four forums, and I got about 30 replies, I read them all very closely and prayed. I am feeling a bit sheepish now, because i surrended the problem and the thing I did not want to change, and I see it in a whole new light. Not as a different behavior...

I hope so, I am a proud Democfat, can't stand Bush. I find his actions to be non-Christian because of his lack of regard to those who need protection ie the poor.

Please why is everybody not asking this man to go see a Dr? On his other posts he is talking about hearing malevolent voices, mind reading, that he is going to be killed, that people have already killed his girlfriend, and I just read a few posts. He could seriously hurt himself if he does...

Guys this is not spiritual, when you hear voices and think nefarious people are after you the first thing to do is look for medical attention. Stabalize the mind, and let the prayer follow.

Sweetie, I just read some of your posts, you need prayer and help, but you also need to call a hospital so you can be treated. I do not need to offend, but you need to do this. No Christian can be in the situation you are in (where there is life there is hope), only you know your medical...

Thats why I am posting annon, so I could be very honest, this is not stuff you can say in day to day life. I just wanted some good advice. This is my "monkey on the back" that we all have, I am just getting frustrated with the stuggle, and my dialogue with the holy spirit is getting quite...

No, procrastinating subtly affects my whole life I really need to attack this before I can go on. I do alot of good, but procrastination affects that as well. I have never heard God say help this person because I automatically am already helping but only after you fix this, but rather that my...

No, I wish that was the case, I don't want to change, I quess I am comfortable being disorgainized (and the constelation of character traits that go hand in hand with that). It is God who is telling me not to be. I wish I was wrong here, I would be too happy to stay on my present path of...

Its just hard because I could do absolutely anything else I was required to do both both physically and spiritually, just not this, it is so contrary to who I am.

This is my situation, we are owners of four very successful fast food stores, and I have to open two more in the next five months. Alot of work to be sure, but doable, because I have done it four times already. I am not burnt out, this is well within my reach, but I just have trouble being...
