    Hi everyone. This is my first post, hopefully I'm in the right place. I'm a new believer... I'm struggling with accepting he fact that He has forgiven my sins. I have done so many awful things, I feel so much guilt and shame. I've heard that once you are saved the feelings of shame will go away...

    Prayers that I can recover from a past betrayal

I've recovered from most of the betrayal, but there is still one episode that I'm struggling with, that occurred on my final day there, I was really struggling with it yesterday evening and just this...

    Idle Words: Are You Guilty of This?

    Matthew 12:35-37 (NKJV) "A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things. But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. For by your words...

    Forgiveness

    Sunday, July 9, 2017, 4:15 p.m. – The Lord Jesus put in mind the song “Songs in The Night.” Speak, Lord, your words to my heart. I read various scriptures (in the ESV) on the subject of forgiveness of sins. Repentance for Forgiveness (Luke 24:44-47) Then he said to them, “These are my words...

    Forgiveness and Repentance

    Is repentance required for forgiveness? If someone sins against you, do they have to repent or at least admit their sin before you can forgive them? I encourage you to support your answer with reason, Scripture, and extra-Biblical sources. I have heard different views on this over the years...

    Unforgiving at the End of the Age - Greg Gordon

    St. Paul writes to Timothy giving us a picture of how it will look just before the second coming of the Lord. He shares that people will be “unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good” (2 Timothy 3:3). In the end times there will be a great shift in how...

    The Prodigal Daughter

    The Prodigal Daughter Once, the land had sense of brilliance, the Province flourished, and the King wisely and supremely ruled. His daughter frolicked in her beauty, danced in her freedom, and lauded in her Father's embrace. The palace halls rang from the bells of her tambourine...

    Perpetual begging for forgiveness of sins

    There have been quite a few posts about sinning after salvation, with some claiming that even as Christians their sins aren't forgiven. Allow me to use an analogy to show how this belief is false. Suppose you're driving down a road with a posted speed limit. If you exceed the speed limit...

    Interview with Julia Ibrahim, survivor of the bus attack: "I want to go there with them."

    This tiny child, this witness, has some words for the terrorists, and words to say about the seven relatives she lost that day when the workers of iniquity decided to attack a bus full of pilgrims, including children such as her. She reaffirms her identity as a Christian and reports that...

    Ever Just Get Mad At The Whole World?

    There are days when I’m a little mad at the world, and a lot mad at things closer to home. Something will remind me of past hurt, one I think I’ve forgiven and gotten past, but then there it is, reaching out to slap me, giving me a vivid reminder to forgive again. Forgiveness is rarely easy. I’d...

    No Forgiveness for the Unrepentant

    The following words are not my own, but I believe they express what's been nagging at me lately. Christians tend to believe we have to automatically forgive people, whether or not they genuinely repent. And we wonder why abuse is so widespread, even in our churches. "God forgives everybody who...

    The New Norm

    John 16:31-33 (NLT) Jesus asked, “Do you finally believe? But the time is coming—indeed it’s here now—when you will be scattered, each one going his own way, leaving me alone. Yet I am not alone because the Father is with me. What is your new Norm? Has your life been scattered? Are you...

    If therefore thou offer thy gift at the altar, and there thou remember that thy brother hath any thing against thee; Leave there thy offering before the altar, and go first to be reconciled to thy brother: and then coming thou shalt offer thy gift. - Matthew 5:23-24 DRV Soon, I'm going to be...

    Doing Good To Evildoers And The Story Of Jean Valjean

    Status: God's holding my hand as I walk very slowly. Still feel like I'm getting nowhere in my faith walk or in my life walk but surely I'm moving forward. I was reading through the NT earlier today and thinking about my worry for my mother who gets angry with things quite easily and is often...

    Do I need to confess to others what I have done?

    I have a question. I committed a couple terrible sins (that I won't post here) (years ago) in my life. I have totally repented, confessed to God, and do not struggle with those sins anymore. I have accepted Jesus as my Lord and savior. I have done my best to forgive others of their sins...

    We have been married for five years. He just recently came to me and told me that he cheated on me when we were dating. The person he cheated with is someone we have seen at multiple events and even gone to dinner with since being married. He would rake me over the coals if I even talked to...

    What a Change!

    Monday, April 24, 2017, 9:47 p.m. – The Lord Jesus put in mind the song “My Jesus, I Love Thee.” Speak, Lord, your words to my heart. I read Acts 9:1-20 (NIV). Murderous Threats (vv. 1-2) Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing out murderous threats against the Lord’s disciples. He went to the...

    Accidentally became addicted to Astrology.

    I have been feeling a little distant from god lately and haven't been praying or reading scripture in weeks and it caused me to do things I would never usually do. I have a crush on a guy and I'm really interested in him despite him having his weaknesses (he struggles with porn/ casual flings)...

    Forgiveness

    I've had a chance to read through as much as I can as I continue to study the Bible, since it takes time to contemplate the words of the new testament and let it transform me. Its a process, I understand. Before I tried focusing on three words that gave me something to adhere to even though I...
