    Terror

    Guys I have to admit I feel like I'm done for. The bible talks about seeking Esau's birthright with tears and not being able to get it, as well as living in fearful expectation of fiery judgement. Jesus said the only unforgivable sin is blasphemy of the HS. I fear I have done this. I said "D***...

    God Only

    Thursday, October 20, 2016, 5:00 a.m. – The Lord Jesus put in mind the song “When I Am Afraid.” Speak, Lord, your words to my heart. I read Psalm 62 (Select vv. ESV). On the Attack (vv. 3-4) How long will all of you attack a man to batter him, like a leaning wall, a tottering fence...

    After My Blood

    Tuesday, October 18, 2016, 5:30 a.m. – The Lord Jesus put in mind the song “When I Am Afraid.” Speak, Lord, your words to my heart. I read Psalm 58-59 (Select vv. NIV). Their Venom (Ps. 58:1-5) Do you rulers indeed speak justly? Do you judge people with equity? No, in your heart you devise...

    Anxiety

    I need someone to pray for me and talk to me. I feel like I have sinned so much, and can hardly feel anything anymore. I don't want to be cut off but I have sinned knowingly (Hebrews 10:26-31), I haven't guarded my tongue as much and feel like I've abused God's grace by counting on forgiveness...

    What did I do?

    I'm really worried and confused. I feel sometimes like I went too far. Hebrews 6:4-6 seems to say I can't come back from backsliding (I even had a Taoist phase, I regret it so much. A lot of verses seem to say like IF you perservere and believe 100% to the end you'll be saved otherwise not)...

    A year alone on Mars? For how much money?

    What would it take for you to spend a year alone on Mars without any communication with Earth. I mean, the human imagination tends to go haywire after a while and what was formerly brushed aside as mere wind-blown sand against the shelters hull can begin sounding like the scratches of claws...

    Link: http://www.beliefnet.com/faiths/islam/articles/10-reasons-you-should-not-fear-muslims.aspx I do have to take minor issue with one statement the author makes, which is when he says that "never in history has 1 percent of a nation's population succeeded in taking over the other 99...

    My Vanity Is Making Me Anxious

    You've heard the term: "The Lust of The Eye" (the desire to possess what we see or to have those things which have visual appeal). For me, this is a tough one. I am a very visual person, and this is embarrassing for me to admit, but I am vain. I know the definition of vain is: Having or showing...

    Your Lord is With You

    When life throws its curve balls at us, which it will, our natural reaction may be to immediately feel fear. Satan will use these occasions to try to get us to doubt God or to feel as though we are without resource. He will try to get us to feel as though our circumstances have control over our...

    Fear and hatred in Christianity

    Hello all, I have been reading through a number of the threads on the political forums, and this may not be the right place for this, but I felt I needed to respond. Not only on the forums, but in the news, on church websites, and in their actions, I have seen many people exhibit fear, anger...

    A Confused Christian (FEMALE)

    Hello, I've been wanting to reach out to Christians for some encouragement, opinion, and advice. I'm just going to start off by saying this will be a long written story. If you don't like reading long paragraphs, please read a gist of it at least. I really need someone to talk to about this. For...

    Will God ever give me back a desire for women which I ask for

    im 17 and about 2 months ago I met this girl I really liked but never said. I kept thinking about her but and couple of days later my desire for women completely disappeared and since that day I've never felt attracted to a woman at all. This scares me greatly and I'm sure this contributed to...

    Please pray for my mental wellbeing

    Lately I have been having clearly evil thoughts, telling me to do evil, and making me feel guilty whenever I do ANYTHING (if that makes sense), thereby I am really struggling with judging what is sinful or not and I'm feeling helpless, and all of this scares me. I also haven't been able to focus...

    FAITH VERSUS FEAR

    Listening to the Word of God, produces faith in us, but listening to the world, and to circumstances, produces fear in us. What do we choose to listen to? When we are faced with a difficult situation, the choice is ours, what we choose to listen to. Peter was very courageous and full with...

    Save our relationship

    I feel like I've become the lowest priority to the man I love and it's driving me crazy. He barely talks to me anymore. I'm struggling with doubts wondering if we should separate, but I desperately want our relationship to last!!! Pray God breathes new life into our relationship fast! Pray God...
