conviction

“Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but share in suffering for the gospel by the power of God, who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus...

Good afternoon. For some time I have started to feel that even small things are sins, for example, if I talk to a female user I start to feel like I am sinning (Lust). It's not only related to lust, I have the same fears when watching youtube (I may support evil content) and when I want to buy...

Hello everyone! I have a history of ocd /really bad scrupulosity and because of that have felt much condemnation. Especially for pre-conversion sins. Some of them should be "corrected" /require restitution. Because of ocd, I attempted to do that, but for all the wrong reasons (fear mostly). It...

Can someone help me shed some light on this issue? I have been depressed and sinning for 7 years now, and nothing is helping... I feel as if I am dead on the inside, I have committed innumerable mortal sins. I go to confession every week, but it's not helping. I feel as if God has abandoned me...

Hi there, So the full statement I wanted to make, was this: We are all obliged to do what we can about faith, this applies to God, as well. God could refuse to create, even, but His conscience would convict Him that He had not done something He had faith to do. God being God, He has an infinite...

Hi there! So I could explain where I got the inspiration for this, but suffice it to say that a woman of great faith explained that her daughter had a condition and nothing could explain why, but God. The lesson I learned from this, was that even if I had a completely different condition to the...

Hi there, So this is basically an object lesson, that not everything tolerated by the spirit is wise, and not everything wise is a target. What do I mean by that? I mean take televisions, there is a pure signal, which gives you clear reception and there is no reason to think it will cease to...

Hi there, So just thinking about the afterlife, I realised that there is a reversal - that many of you would not be aware of: in Heaven we are positioned, on Earth we dream as One. In Revelation it is promised that we can be made pillars of God, that the things which hinder our dreams - sorrow...

Hi there, So I have sought council as to how to strengthen a person, when they want to maintain the greatest strength they can have, as an Evolutionist: Perceptiveness, means knowing when one mutation is clashing with another, for which it would be better to do without both, that is, starting...

Hi there, So Proverbs 30:15 goes "the leech has two daughters— Give and Give!" The book of Revelation talks about the beast of the Earth and the beast of the Sea - they have the same nature (as the leech)! Do not give your time over, to contemplating the way of the beast of the Earth and the...

Hi there, So just a word of faith, from someone who left the faith and tried to be his own man (a famous philosopher). I was never even once nurtured by the world, in my falling away from the faith - not even once shown, faith in return. Coming back from the world was hard, but I did learn this...

I go to Calvary Chapel. I like studying the Bible. I do a little preach in’. I like it. When the dining room reopens I hope to start again. Glad to make your acquaintance. I got kicked off another forum for talking about Jesus. People who need to hear are closed. Unbelievable, the only...

Hi there, So yes, the Lord has blessed me in so many ways - now the table has turned and the Devil is on the back foot! I realise that he has been interfering in my relationships: but I've got to the point where I can sense, where he is working - I know to rebuke him, in the power of Jesus'...

Man o Man o Man. At this point I am a fool lost at bay. wither if I hardened my heart to much or that I may have committed the unforgivable sin I do not feel the conviction of the Holy Spirit. I had asked a friend about repentance and if we would have to be FIRST convicted by the Holy Spirit...

Hi there, So yes, John talks of the Holy Spirit doing three things: convicting of sin, righteousness and judgment. But elsewhere it says He will not talk on His Own Authority; not seeking His Own Authority means that He will be compelled to weigh the "authority" of others, in a sense weighing...

OK so I was going through Google to see if God forgives all sins which he does except blasphemy and I look back (baptised at 8 )on my life and my dad once had me put my had on the Bible ( about 5th grade) as you may guess u lied and felt really bad fast forward maybe 5 years and I was an...

Romans 15:1 ESV We who are strong have an obligation to bear with the failings of the weak, and not to please ourselves. We all have different convictions about things. Some of them are biblical, i.e. they are rooted in God’s moral laws, while others are more a matter of personal conscience...

Hi everyone, Since I became a practicing Christian five years ago, I have been a member of a Baptist church. However, as I've read Scripture, prayed, listened to prominent pastors, and discussed with Christian friends, I've found more compelling evidence, conviction, alignment with my beliefs...

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...

Most people have a life passion. Some cause that puts fire in their veins. Mine is educating people on the immense cruelty that takes place in the food, research, and entertainment industries involving animals. I believe that animals are individuals with emotions and personalities and am...
