You are loved, Lambano. Regret is such a horrible feeling and one I know well. I just don't think God wants us to live with that and carry it around. Every day really is a new day. My life is blessed now but it wasn't always. I almost ruined my marriage. But in that pain, I learned that the...

Thank you. Peter is fascinating. He cowers from a little girl and denies Jesus. But when Jesus restores him, he's different. He's the main one who boldly proclaims the gospel in Acts. I believe that the things we struggle with the most are the things that give us the authority to speak about...

The only thing that comes to mind when I think of sins of omission is this verse right here: James 4:17 17 Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin. I agree that this is hard. But it's not impossible. I don't think the Bible speaks to us in terms of " you...

Today, I received a gorgeous blue spiral notebook. It has gold starfish on it. My handwriting isn't bubbly or elegant. But it would be a shame not to use it in some way. Maybe a small scrapbook? A Scripture memory and meditation book? A prayer book? All three?

Maybe the definition of what sin is. Sin is lawlessness. It is to miss the mark. I also thought you'd explain what you meant by "sins of ommission" in the other thread. I know Im of the believe that you can eventually stop sinning. But I still want to hear your thoughts on the whole sins of...

I like this. I think Jesus says a lot of things that we are tempted to dissmiss today.

I don't think we should be mainly following the ten commandments but we should be following what Jesus commanded: Love one another Give to the least of these Witness and make disciples I agree that not enough churches teach the importance of giving to the poor. If we don't, we'll be like the...

Hey brother. Ill look into your thread. I don't know about this "sins of omission" idea but if you can back it up with Scripture, Ill change my opinion. I don't actually care if people know they still have things to work on. I just think we should slow down before we speak directly against the...

Theologians have led me far far away from a biblical understanding of grace, faith, salvation, and assurance. I don't say this flippantly. I used to love them a lot. I loved Calvinism and was influenced by a lot of Calvinist teaching. But theres not one of them who get everything right and...

I get that you feel strongly about this. But the reason we get rid of sin isn't so we can feel better than others or reject our need for Jesus or crack a whip over ourselves. The reason why we get rid of sin is so God can use us in the specific calling He has for us. So we can be vessels of...

I don't understand. If we speak patiently and reason with the Scriptures, thats not sin.

You become just like Christ. In fact it's now Christ living in you. You are still you with your unique place in history. But you change. Yes, you can realize the new man in this present life. You can reckon yourself dead to sin. You can put on love, joy, peace, and other fruit of the Spirit...

Please don't leave. Im still not over Truman's absence. If you left, Id definitely notice your absence. The forum would be less friendly.

I don't know anyone who claims this. All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Only Jesus lived an entirely sinless life. I do believe that we can and ought to learn to not sin as we walk with the Lord. In 1 John it also says My little children, these things I write to you, so...

Praying now.

Hey @devin553344 , How are your software projects going?

Have gotten chores done. The apartment looks good. Am feeling on fire for the Lord and love for people.

I love you, Lamb. Gentleness is a fruit of the Spirit that we should always keep.

Paul was not speaking about being alive in Christ in that sentence. He was speaking about being alive before he heard the commandments of the law of Moses and became a Pharisee. Romans 7:9 9 I was alive once without the law, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died. Romans 7 is...

If you've been a Christian for very long, you can think back to the time when you first accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior. I was in high school when I found Jesus and I remember all I wanted to do was love on people and help others. I wanted to give up my lunch to feed other students. I...
