    Afraid and in doubt?

    Don't look at the wind! Look straight and walk toward Jesus. Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you. Proverbs 4:25 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, “Lord, save me.” Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of...

    For Our Nation

    War, politics, lies, betrayal, the murdering of innocents, our young men and women in uniform dying on a battle field via men of power; takeovers of nations, riots and lawlessness, sin abounding, the church asleep or complacent for the most part; the gospel diluted, and do we even notice...

    What Are You Thinking?

    “If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life...

    Our Tears In His Bottle

    Psalm 56:1-2 ESV “Be gracious to me, O God, for man tramples on me; all day long an attacker oppresses me; my enemies trample on me all day long, for many attack me proudly.” How is man trampling us, the people of the world, and the people of God who are of faith in Jesus Christ? What...

    The Will of My Adversaries

    Psalm 27:1-3 ESV “The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? “When evildoers assail me to eat up my flesh, my adversaries and foes, it is they who stumble and fall. “Though an army encamp against...

    Continually in Angst

    Satan wants us living in fear, constantly upset, continually in angst over this or that, fighting among ourselves, possibly over things that don't even exist. We must resist him! And, we must put on the armor of God, and be at peace.

    my faith is counterfeit? shipwrecked? how can i be sure

    Overcoming Stumbling Blocks

    Yesterday, I had a discussion with @Ronit and she made a comment that sparked the idea for this thread. I'll share what she said below and invite you to consider how God has helped you overcome your stumbling blocks. You know Bella. 10 years ago what you said would have really offended me. But...

    Fear or Faith?

    Romans 8:18-21 ESV “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because...

    Garbage In, Garbage Out

    Your Reasonableness Philippians 4:4-5 ESV “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand.” To rejoice in the Lord is to have joy, to have pleasure in him; to leap for joy in him, to delight in him, to be satisfied in...

    Delivered from Depression/Oppression!

    I went through awful frequent periodic depression and oppression for 30+ years. I would cry out to the Lord, deliver me, help, save me from this over and over, but found no answer. This heaviness made me feel hopeless, fearful, and unable to escape. I didn’t understand what was happening to...

    I can’t live like this.

    Since about March 28th, I’ve been having intrusive thoughts about someone. But those intrusive thoughts were all fears. “You’re worshipping them.” “You want to hurt them.” They’re your god.” “They’re gonna hurt you.” I don’t know what to do. I love this person, fellowship-wise, but I’ve never...

    Did I ruin a friendship before it began?

    There was someone I was sure God was drawing me too. I asked for signs and there were signs. It brought me joy and I praised God because of the wonderful things I could see happening. We started becoming friends. I wanted to get his number so we could talk. Except i couldn’t because I never got...

    Idolatry or fear of idolatry

    I was praising God and then this thought came to my mind. “You weren’t really saying that about God, you were saying that about someone else.” I brushed it off and kept my Worship. Then it came back and started questioning if this thought was true. Then I started worrying about it. Now I’m...

    HELP! Did I loose God’s will?

    Alright... where do I begin? Many years ago I was sexually abused. To cope with that I turned to pornography. Since I was homeschooled, I barely left the house. I had all the more time to view it. I realized I couldn’t go on living the way I was anymore and I came to God. I became pure and clean...
