    Please Help? How Do I Fully Surrender My Life to God and Leave My Old Ways Behind

    I’ve spent a lot of time in my younger years studying the Bible, and after a long period away from faith, I’ve recently returned to it with renewed focus. My studies have especially centered around topics like Satan, demons, music, hypnosis (likely a reason I fell away from faith for a while)...

    Why Do I Do What I Do?

    Why do I do what I do each day? Why do I trust God and to Him pray? Why do I give my life up to Him? Why do I live for Him, not for a whim? I have learned many things in my life. Some things I learned from Him, learned in strife. Empty, hurting I was, needed Him. Needed the light of truth, not...

    I Count it All as Loss

    “But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in...

    One Thing You Lack

    “A ruler questioned Him, saying, ‘Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?’ And Jesus said to him, ‘Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone. You know the commandments, “Do not commit adultery, Do not murder, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor your...

    You Still Don't Know Him?

    John 14:8-9 Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip?” They Don’t Know Jesus There are many people in America, and perhaps in other nations, too, who are professing faith in...

    What Will It Take?

    I was just watching Bloom Today, a Christian show focused on healing, recovery and the spiritual journey, and feel confused about it. There was a female writer from the USA talking about her journey of grief (the death of her sister as a child) and the difficulty she had of ever feeling or...

    Help me understand something the Lord taught me: "joy is in the doing through surrendering"

    Hi there, So this is like a fragment, of something the Holy Spirit inspired me with and I wonder what you make of it: It is a little similar to "my strength is made perfect through weakness" found in the letters, but the emphasis is on "building" (rather than "making"). It is about building...

    Obedient to the Point of Death

    Philippians 2:5-8 ESV “Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human...

    Some things require sacrifice: if God desires mercy, what about those of us that must die?

    Hi there, So yes, it is a blunt message to me, that there are certain things in life that "require" sacrifice. Revelation speaks with praise about those that "love not their lives, to the death" - but this clashes with the idea that Christ died for us, doesn't it? Didn't Jesus die, so that...
