    Whenever Our Heart Condemns Us

    “By this we shall know that we are of the truth and reassure our heart before him; for whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows everything. Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God; and whatever we ask we receive from him...

    Setting our Minds on the Things of God

    Romans 8:1-8 ESV “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the...

    Everyone Loving and Practicing Sin Hates Jesus

    John 3:16 ESV “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” God is Father, Son (Jesus Christ), and Holy Spirit. So, the Son is also God. So, not only did the Father give his only begotten Son, but the Son gave...

    2 Corinthians 3: 6-9

    2 Cor 3: 6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. (MY NOTE: New testament believers are not ministers of the law. The laws purpose is to expose & condemn sins Gal 3:10,17,22-25 which...

    The Wife of Martin Guerre: An argument for tolerance and graciousness towards heretics

    I came across this argument while reading about the Huguenot refugee and philosopher, Pierre Bayle. The conclusion of the argument is, "The erroneous conscience procures for error the same rights and privileges that the orthodox conscience procures for truth.” The argument is based on the true...

    Faith or a hardened heart?

    I have realized today that it is very hard to get a hold of my faith. The last 4 months I may have overreacted to a situation where I just needed to humble myelf and seek the Lord. In this oversensetive state It been hard to see God move in my life (mostly because I think I have squawanered his...

    Sin, guilt, condemnation and the age of innocence

    Assumptions: At the end of the age, God will judge mankind. If man is found guilty, he will be punished. We know that all men will be found guilty because all have sinned. In the gospel, Jesus assumes our guilt to himself and imputes his righteousness to us. It seems like there are at least two...

    Context beliefs - overiding morality effecting interpretation of scripture

    I have had years now of interacting with various groups on forums, who come from many different fellowships. These have been very diverse but a series of ethical, moral outlooks have permeated some groups to the extent that when talking about the same verses very different interpretations are...

    Trouble loving God

    I am looking for help. I was raised in a Christian (Calvinist) home. My father was a pastor. I have always believed that the Bible is true and that Jesus is the Way of salvation. But I have never really connected with Christ or with the Father. It has always been very difficult for me to feel...

    Can’t shake them

    I keep having these thoughts saying evil things and insulting God or renouncing thoughts and sometimes these thoughts feel too close. I am afraid to account for these thoughts. I would like to ask for prayer, scripture, and help if there is anything you are led to share with me.

    New Believers, Need To Know - Guilt and Shame

    Hey there! I've been a Christian for 25 years, and have learned a few things along the way. I am by no means an expert and would never claim that the knowledge/wisdom I have came from me - it's straight from the Bible and revelation of the Holy Spirit. This will be my first mini-essay on...

    Prayers For Safety

    I'm having some pain in my head and teeth, and trouble controlling my thoughts. My head feels like it's trying to condense and crush itself, a little, not like exploding but internally directed pressure. Please pray that my mind will be restored and for mercy. I am afraid of being condemned...

    Distressed

    I am having blasphemous thoughts saying evil against God and talking about rejecting Him. I feel hell-bound and frightened and sad and also angry at the thought of being trapped in hell. I kind of wonder if I have just been trying to make myself love God to save myself as much as if He had said...

    Mercy

    Please pray for mercy and salvation on my soul. I am worried about apostasy, the mark of the beast, and the unpardonable sin (blasphemy of the HS). I know I have asked before but I had this horrible image of me being rejected on Judgement day and my mom crying and yelling, "Please don't send my...

    Fell apart

    I (New edit: made a lot of messes of things) and my dad is mad at me. I keep having these horrible thoughts telling God to go away and I'm afraid He is rejecting me. I don't know if I have saving faith and I'm afraid I'm going to go a little crazy on the plane. I'm afraid of the unpardonable sin...

    Asking for prayers

    I am very afraid right now. I am afraid I have committed the unforgivable sin or apostasized, or am not really a believer and not really saved. Let me begin by saying I was raised in church and baptised around six years old (I think). I wasn't just going to church because my parents did although...
