    Hello. I’d like to share my story and introduce myself. Short Story: I was raised with the teachings of the Seventh-day Adventists but became deeply involved in heavy metal music, sin, and destructive behaviors. After a difficult period of emptiness and depression, I encountered God's word...

    Was Paul a Hypocrite? II

    This was originally published on October 31, 2020, but since this is a subject which keeps resurfacing, I believe I am to repost it today: I hear a lot of people quote Paul from Romans 7, using him as an example of a life of struggling (regularly giving in) to sin. Usually this is in the...

    Please pray for me in need of encouragement

    Please pray for me I feel as tho I am a lost sheep. I came to the conclusion I had my focus on myself, obsessive fear, on having correct doctrine, fear of not being saved, the sin of fearing, sin in general and other matters that I have not lived out the 2 greatest commandments Jesus gave since...

    Walk In The Light!

    "And this is the message we have heard from Him (Jesus) and announce to you: God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. If we say we have fellowship with Him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have...

    “While Jesus was dining at Levi’s house, many tax collectors and sinners were eating with Him and His disciples— for there were many who followed Him. When the scribes who were Pharisees saw Jesus eating with these people, they asked His disciples, “Why does He eat with tax collectors and...

    The Holy Spirit will do three things, if He goes the extra mile for Jesus

    Hi there, So yes, John talks of the Holy Spirit doing three things: convicting of sin, righteousness and judgment. But elsewhere it says He will not talk on His Own Authority; not seeking His Own Authority means that He will be compelled to weigh the "authority" of others, in a sense weighing...

    So sorry I have to ask this: what do I do about unconscious sin?

    Hi there, I have come at this, every way I can think of - and I am just not dealing with it. When I was a teenager, I was listening to heavy metal music (that I knew my parents (Christians) would not approve of. I feel asleep listening to the music and then all of a sudden woke up and said the...

    Knock, Knock.....who's There?

    Revelation 3:20 does NOT speak to evangelism. The Lord Jesus Christ does not stand at the door of an unsaved person's heart, hat in hand, knocking, knocking, knocking, calling, calling, calling, hoping, hoping, hoping, only to be disappointed in many cases! Why? Because He knows that the person...

    A Day Without Sinning

    Outside of being in a coma (which I'm sure some people would consider sinful for some reason), can a full-grown adult be spiritually disciplined enough to go one or more consecutive days without sinning inwardly and outwardly?

    Lord's Man - An unabashed Crusader!

    The man of God is a man of strength, determination and boldness. He is utterly faithful to the Lord and His Word and will speak the truth about God and defend that Word to the death. I would like to tell you that I am a bright and shining example of such a man. The truth is I am a miserable...
