    Taking action yourself and being decieved

    I hear some Christians say: you must not try to change yourself, that does not work. You have to let God change you. I am not behind that reason because I have thought so myself for a long time. And it is true, God often asked me to do this and I do that but I thought, no, I can not. In order to...

    I feel weak

    I thought I was doing good and abstaining from certain sins. I know no one is perfect and we all sin. This week it's been so hard for me and I finally caved into a certain sin yesterday and today. It's stressing me out because it's been a long time since I have done these things. I am really...

    What Do We Desire?

    Psalm 19:1-6 NASB The heavens are telling of the glory of God; And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands. Day to day pours forth speech, And night to night reveals knowledge. There is no speech, nor are there words; Their voice is not heard. Their line has gone out through all the...

    I need help on this guilt (obligation)

    There is something that is one of the reasons my faith struggles: obligations. My mom had me go to this prayer group every Sunday after mass... I didn't think I belong here or even carry those learnings to the outside world. I didn't ask to go here; my mom just told me and that was it. Going to...

    Is caring if people criticize your interests a sin?

    Can not saying something for the purpose of avoiding someone’s criticism be sin? What if it isn’t nessesary? Should you still do it in that knowledge that, in not doing it, you would be avoiding your initial fear and perhaps sinning as a result?

    Poll as a born again Christian do you still sin

    Something that’s always bothered me is there are a few verses in the Bible that say that a person who is born again will not or cannot sin. “We know that whosoever is begotten of God sinneth not; but he that was begotten of God keepeth himself, and the evil one toucheth him not.” ‭‭1 John‬...

    Through Righteousness

    Romans 5:1-2 NASB Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of God. What is faith? Biblical faith is from...

    Is Homosexuality a Sin in this Age?

    I've been studying gender roles in the Bible, and in the process I've stumbled across the problem of homosexuality. In the same chapter of Leviticus (18) that asserts, "‘Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable," the Lord tells Moses that touching a...

    Man is in No Way Separated From God

    Whose image are we made in? God's (Genesis 1:27) Who is the image of God? Jesus Christ (Colossians 1:15). Who is Jesus Christ? The Word (John 1). Where is the Word? Heaven (Mark 16:19). Where is heaven? Within you (Luke 17:21 kjv). Who is in heaven? The Father, the Word and the Holy Ghost and...

    Broken Cord

    Last night I sat down with paper, pencil and my Bible, and I inquired of the Lord if he would be pleased to give me a song to write. I had not written any for about 2 years, for I did not have the space needed in order to do that. But, now that he has blessed me with that space, I asked him for...

    Everyone Who Believes

    1 John 5:1-5 ESV Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father loves whoever has been born of him. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his...

    Law of attraction

    Is the whole "law of attraction" concept against Christianity? As faith says we should let God deal with everything this seems rather "me" biased, also promoting greed - asking/demanding stuff from 'universe'

    He Lifted Me!

    Psalm 119:105-112 NIV Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path. I have taken an oath and confirmed it, that I will follow your righteous laws. I have suffered much; preserve my life, Lord, according to your word. Accept, Lord, the willing praise of my mouth, and teach...

    Perfecter of Faith

    Hebrews 12:1-3 NASB Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith...

    Did Rahab sin by lying about the spies of Israel?

    In the light of James 2:25, "Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?", was Rahab lying a sin? Is it always a sin to lie, or when is it acceptable?

    Obedient to Death

    Philippians 2:1-4 ESV So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from selfish ambition or...
