    Committed Thoughts: Where On Earth Is Your Focus?

    Focus It's all about our focus. Countless distractions battle for my attention; too often, the distractions win, and I find my focus on the things of this world. As if the news is not bad enough on its own, the media will sensationalize the headlines to make sure and grab my attention. I...

    Even when I know it's sin?

    My name is Teresa, I am Kenyan. I am really struggling with masturbation and pornography especially reading some (now it's seems like) crazy literature. But I know it's sin. And I know that I am compromising something when I can not pull myself out of thoughts of lust. I know my place in God's...

    Self Will Run Riot

    I came to, completely dazed and confused about where I was and how I got there. I was laying on a Hospital bed, both my mom and dad sitting next to the bed looking like they had just been through hell on earth. My near death experience isn't the kind you will read about in a book where I went...

    Purity in Faith

    Saturday, February 11, 2017, 8:00 a.m. – The Lord Jesus put in mind the song “Search Me, O God.” Speak, Lord, your words to my heart. I read Titus 2 (NASB). Older Men (vv. 1-2) But as for you, speak the things which are fitting for sound doctrine. Older men are to be temperate, dignified...

    A re-occuring porn addiction.

    I remember that I wasn't much older than 11 years of age. It was the late 1990's, and the internet had not made it into our home, yet. Television was the way for me to get entertainment. By day, I watched cartoons, motorsports, movies, soap drama's, etc. But by night, being the curious only...

    Addictive Personality

    Sunday, August 28, 2016, 5:30 a.m. – The Lord Jesus put in mind the song “Jesus, Lead Me.” Speak, Lord, your words to my heart. I read 1 John 4 (ESV). Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the...

    Where to buy/listen music?

    I´ve been downloading music for free since I have internet connection and I never thought about in in that way (it was only for personal use). Since I heared about downloading being a sin I started to feel bad when I was doing it. I talked about it with my friends and family and they didn´t...

    Weed addiction

    Hi all, I am here once again looking for help/advice. I have previously posted a thread about helping my fiance with his depression. Now I am not sure whether the depression is really the issue here or something else. Because my believe is that he is addicted to marijuana. While I do think...

    Dreams and Visions vs Family

    I was once in a relationship for two years with the wrong man. He didn't treat me the way I deserved to be treated. For almost a year I stayed in prayer, close to God. I soaked in Pastor Joel Osteen. He said that since the bible says to ask and you shall recieve, then you must remind God of what...

    Porn!

    I know I've posted about this before, but it really gets me down at times. Not to mention I feel like a hypocrite at times. I always tell everyone else that such lusts are abhorrent and yet I can't even stop a stupid porn addiction! Some spiritual guidance would be great.
