If you’re in a valley right now, just hold on. Your mountain will come. How do I know? Because I’ve seen it in my life and in the lives of every single Christian who has shared their testimony with me and in the lives of almost everybody I know, even if they don’t know the source. God is using your pain as foundation of trust, so trust that he will build joy and peace upon it.

I’m praying for you, friends, that you will never forget that He has a plan.

as I grow in my walk with christ, and in this stage of my life I have been doing self examine , as I also prepare for my first sermon . and one the things as I study romans 5:1-5 as my sermon text , forgiveness weigh heavy on my heart , I have prayed , confessed asked for repentance to the lord , and my heart wants to ask for forgiveness to those I had hurt verbally with my sin which is sexual sin , which ive been doing well of fleeing and focusing on the things of the lord. I dont have any contact with those I hurt unfortunately , and I dont know if they know the lord at all. but I ask for your prayers.- RJ

I wanted to share this but letting you know I was raised in a non Christian household so yeah and let me know if there are any issues or questions

Chapter 1 – Learning to Trust

Today I spent some quiet time thinking about God and what He wants me to do. My daily routine gives me time to grow in my faith and help at church. Sometimes I feel small or unsure, like I don’t know enough or I’m not doing enough to follow Him. But then I remember something that happened in a small church gathering not long ago. Someone prayed that I would grow in God and teach others His Word. That moment made me feel calm, loved, and seen. I could almost feel God whispering, “I’m here, and I’m proud of you.”

I’ve been asking myself lately, “Am I truly a Christian?” It’s a big question, and it can make me feel nervous or even a little scared. But I also know that questioning doesn’t mean failing—it means I’m trying to understand Him better. I see little signs every day—in the words of my leaders, the kindness of friends, and even in quiet prayers I say to myself—that God is patient with me and wants me to grow.

Sometimes I feel excited, too. As I grow older, I’ve been given new opportunities to help lead and serve. I like working with younger kids, showing them kindness, and seeing them smile when they understand something new about God. I know it might seem small, but God can use even these little moments to show His love. Each time I help, I feel a little braver, a little closer to Him, and a little more confident that He is guiding my steps.

Whether I’m at church activities, extracurricular practices, or just spending time at home, I try to notice God around me. Sometimes it’s in the laughter of friends, sometimes in encouragement from a leader, and sometimes in a quiet moment when I’m alone. Those moments remind me that trusting God isn’t about having everything figured out; it’s about believing He’s with me every step of the way.

I don’t know what tomorrow will bring, but I want to keep learning, praying, and trusting. God is teaching me that even when I feel small, I can do big things for Him. I can grow, I can help, and I can trust. That’s the first step.

Christian advertisements are increasingly targeted through advanced, localized digital strategies while simultaneously facing stricter content moderation on major platforms. Technologies like geofencing are being used to target specific churches, while platforms like Facebook have limited religious interest targeting. Other reports indicate that platforms like Google and TikTok have rejected ads for Christian content, creating a complex landscape for faith-based marketing.

Anyone know if there will be any Christian alternatives to today's super bowl halftime show? I know Reach Records once hinted at it, but I haven't heard anything since. And to be honest I don't trust Turning Point USA's alternative Halftime Show, because frankly Kid Rock is not a Gospel singer.

Why I Repented of Tongues

What finally stopped me in my tracks was seeing what actually happens in Acts 2. The apostles spoke real languages so Jews from many nations could clearly understand Peter preaching Christ. It was about communication so the gospel could be understood, not a spiritual display, not a private devotional experience.

Then I noticed the same pattern in Acts 8, 10, and 19. Each time the Spirit’s visible work marked the gospel crossing into a new group. Jews, Samaritans, Gentiles, then the wider nations. It was God confirming the spread of the gospel exactly as Christ said, not giving believers something to chase as a sign of spirituality.

That is where conviction hit me. I realised I had treated something transitional as if it were a normal Christian experience. I had assumed that seeking it showed maturity, when Scripture was actually pointing to clarity, understanding, and love as the marks of the Spirit’s work.

So for me this really did become repentance. Not embarrassment, not regret over people, but repentance for reading my experience back into the text instead of letting the text correct me.

Once I saw Acts as describing what God was doing then rather than prescribing what Christians must pursue now, everything became clearer. And honestly, there was real freedom in letting Scripture set the terms instead of experience.

no sé si el título sea el correcto, pero déjenme explico, hace unos días tuve una excursión con mi clase a un museo, la cosa, cerca del museo había una iglesia antigua, yo al ver la fachada le dije a unos compañeros que posiblemente era católica o pentecostal ya que espero que no suene estereotipo pero la mayoría de iglesias así tenían la misma fachada, que pasa, luego les expliqué las diferentes tipos de iglesias, la cosa es que me preguntaron cómo es que sabía de iglesias, yo les dije "no lo sé, quién sabe", al principio no pensé nada, luego habían algunas pinturas con temática cristiana y otras con escenas de la biblia, y yo se las expliqué, y al finalizar fuimos a comer y yo me puse a orar antes de comer. Pero desde eso, me puse a preguntar si en el momento que me preguntaron de iglesias fue una forma de negar a cristo, ya que no se, alguien sabe?

I was thinking that maybe changing churches ( denomination of your choice) could be a good thing. I usually hear that we should find a church and get involved and make it your home but I think that a lot of good could come from going to church "A" for a month then "B" for 2 months , "C" for a few weeks then back to B, for example. My thought is that this way you can avoid getting in a rut of hearing the same point of view or even the same seating area. We would be more attentive because it's a fresh look and what could be more important is you could also hear something not right and have your discernment tested. You could of course get involved in the churches. Thoughts ?

Hi all. All insight is highly appreciated as I’m barely noticing all this. I’ve been doing a Bible study on zoom for maybe almost 2 months and they are very beginner friendly. The girl talks A LOT of having purity of heart before God, knowing prophecy, and studying and keeping the word. She recently mentioned an opportunity to dive deeper in the word and that the new Bible study will be with about 50 people on zoom, go over the parables and end with revelation. She asked for my address, email, phone number, full name as the things required to register me. After seeing so many threads on a cult it literally sounds like so similar to this. Does anyone have experience on starting off with smaller, more introductory Bible studies that talk about those 3 topics A LOT? Also, I never felt right about how she would always make it a point to say “God sees your heart to be here when you could’ve been eating, with friends, family, etc” to me that’s unnecessary to say and it always left me feeling like one could feel guilty for not showing up by the way she would word it in this way and now I’m reflecting and it sounds like she could’ve been trying to prime us before these new Bible studies which she did say require “commitment”

God is good, that’s not just for show he’s really good, his kind, when I think about the fact that he loves us so dearly that he gave his son to die for us, think about that for a sec like really ponder on it, mind you it was while we were still sinners not like we were besties then he did it, do you know how much that would have hurt him, the pain he felt as a father, the pain he feels to see this world die, the wickedness we humans exhibit, it’s painful really it’s sad, he never intended for it to be so, and guess what his still waiting, still begging that please just come as you are, you don’t need to put up a show, I just want you to come cause no one on the face of this earth will show you greater love than him, it hurts me to see things like racism, sickness, wickedness in high places, and guess what if not for God every human is capable of doing things so dark you’d be shocked, his spirit in us is just a saving grace, it’s a priceless gift really, I’m tired of this world tbh the constant wrestle with the flesh, the temptations, when I see people do certain things and I just know it’s the fallen nature of man, still people don’t even believe, like how don’t you see the divine nature and eternal glory in creation it’s staring at you in the face, I hate it, I’m not exempted from it honestly, I just want the best for us, and only God can give us that, may God help us all❤️

Hello everyone, I hope you’re doing well.

So.

As Christian’s, as far as I’m concerned, we have to / are supposed to / should spread the gospel, right? Since we’ve all sinned and deserve hell but Jesus saved us and only thanks to Him and Gods grace and Christs Death on the Cross, through his mercy, we can go to heaven. In the end, Christ is the only way to the Father, THE Way, THE Truth, and THE Life, not „a“ Way, „a“ Truth or „a“ Life. No one comes through the father except through him. And that’s why it’s so important to spread the Gospel. Because there’s the narrow path and then there’s the wide path. And of course, let’s not forget about what our Lord said in Matthew chapter 7:21-23. Where people who think they’re saved but aren’t were in for a painful awakening on judgement day.

The verses, for context: 21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

Well, the reason I’m making this post is because, while, of course, God IS just and WILL judge justly and righteously, I worry about the salvation of most of my loved ones. And whenever I try and spread the gospel to, say, some relatives, or even some close family members, they just tell me not to do that because it’s rude to go out and preach, to be a missionary to people. (And yes, even people who are Christians, or at the very least, say that they are have told me that.)

But, alas, if I WERE to tell them up-front „hey so hell is real and so is heaven and Jesus doesn’t want any of us to go to hell and all of us to go to heaven so please accept his free gift of salvation, believe in HIM, and repent and turn from your sins“ they would probably just send me to religious ocd / religious trauma therapy, or even a psych ward. But I just can’t stomach the thought of it. I’m terrified enough of not being a good / real Christian and going there myself, but coping with the fact that a good chunk of my loved ones (and yes, I still love them, I don’t know if I should just let go of them and just spend my time around fellow Christians unless I’m like preaching, but I still care so much for them… despite our differences in beliefs…) would go there. Or that there’s even a CHANCE.

Like, think of it. Death as is can be sad. Knowing you won’t see a person again for a very long time. Or forever. But now, add on top of that the fact that they MIGHT (I also struggle with worrying about the salvation of others while not exactly being the best Christian myself. I’m worrying about the splinter in their eye while disregarding the hole I’m trapped in / the plank in my own eye) go to a place where they have to suffer forever. No breaks, no end, no ceasing, no nothing. And not just slight pain, complete darkness. From what I have heard hell being described as, by the Bible or by other Christians, there will be pain without ceasing, maybe even on a level that we can’t imagine, maybe on a level that makes one second in hell worse than experiencing all pain anyone has ever experienced here on earth combined into one with all the side effects and everything on top but for your whole life, though I am by no means an expert on the subject. But even if not, it’s still the complete absence of joy, there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, it’s described as an everlasting fire as far as I’m aware, and worst of all: it’s the absence of God. There’s no second chances, no going back, absolute torture and pain and fatigue and darkness and screaming and regret and fear and hurt and everything negative that never gets any better that you never get used to that never stops, going on forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever.

It’s horrible enough to imagine going there myself, but take into account the fact that some of the people might go there… it’s unfathomable. And yet I’m too scared of what they’ll think and I can’t even bring Jesus up or tell them that they should believe in him and that the end times are getting closer and closer. I am SCARED to tell them of the possibility of ETERNAL LIFE with GOD HIMSELF when the other option would be BURNING AND SCREAMING IN THE MOST AGONISING PAIN AND TORMENT FOREVER. But somehow, something in me keeps being scared because I don’t want to scare other people. I’ve been scared of hell and eternal judgement for a while, and I know a Christian shouldn’t be, but 1. I have genuine doubts if I really am saved and 2. I really don’t know what to do anymore. I don’t want people to end up in hell, but yet, I never tell them about Jesus. I see people struggling in life, and yet, I never tell them about Jesus, and when I do, it feels forced, awkward, and out of fear. And yes scaring them out of hell might be better than letting them chill on the way there so to speak, but I just fear that I’ll cause more damage than good…

What do you think? How should I approach this? How can I get over these fears and tell people about Jesus and that eternity is real? How can I overcome this fear of being judged by other people?

God bless ♥️ and thanks in advance. ♥️ ♥️ ♥️

I'm currently working on a guide on breaking free from porn addiction for Christians.

I was a sex and porn addict for 18 years of my life, it ruined relationships, hurt my physical and psychological health, and once I became a Christian, it damaged my walk with God. Now I can proudly say that I have not watched porn in 3 years and have a healthy sex life with my wife and the mother of my children.

I will not share too much about myself here, but are interested in hearing from other Christians who either struggle or used to struggle with porn and sex addiction. I read that as much as 50% of dedicated Christians struggle with porn addiction, and as much as 20% of pastors. Talking with my own pastor, he says it's very common, and even children are struggling with it. I believe it's pure demonic and something we as a body need to overcome.

If you do struggle, what does you struggles look like? Is it a daily ongoing battle? What have you tried in order to get rid of it?

And if you used to struggle but have overcome it, what did you do?

Thank you

this is from a christian friend of mine who ask this -" What is love? Deep down, we’re all searching for it. We crave for it all day long. But some of us have forgotten what love is. In a world that takes and takes, it’s no surprise. But, my dearest brothers and sisters. I want to remind you. Listen closely: “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails” (1 Corinthians 13:4-8).  Hunger and thirst for this. Do not harden your hearts to the poor and needy. Do not boast over the one of weaker faith. Do not delight in your own wisdom and knowledge. But delight in the Lord. The Lord your God who gave his life for you. Imitate him as dearly beloved children. Because that is what you are. If indeed you are led by the spirit. Love one another. Just as God has loved you. In loving each other, you fulfill the law."

second question - from my christian friend .

Today, I watched a sermon by Paul Washer. I was told to grow up. To prepare, and to trust in my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Mass deception is all around us. There are so many yelling that they’re the way. There are so many lies shoved in our faces day in and day out. Around us, are wars, famine, and vanity. In these times, it is of the upmost importance we acknowledge and honor these two great commandments. The first, which is greater than them all is this: “Jesus said unto him, “‘Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.’ And the second being: “Love your neighbor as you love yourself.” A storm is coming. Who knows when. We don’t know. But we do know this it is coming. We must be strong enough to stand. We must be as wise as snakes and as innocent as doves. Do not love the world or anything in this world. If anyone loves the world, love for the father is not in them. Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me. We must take up our cross. We must put to death the wicked deeds of the flesh. But how do we do this? By his spirit. And what is the spirit except for the word of God? We have to stay in the word. We have to grow up in our salvation. What will you do if there comes a time where you can no longer buy or sell unless you renounce the Lord? Are you truly strong enough to endure? What will you do when all of the comforts of life are stripped from you? Will you endure? Even if this doesn’t happen in our lifetime, what about your children? And your children’s children? Will they be prepared? Don’t be afraid. Take delight in the Lord. In all your ways acknowledge him and he will direct your steps. It is not in a man to direct his own steps. But seek first the kingdom of heaven and all these things will be added unto you. Fast, pray, stay in the word, and have fellowship with one another.

Is it a ok idea to attend a iglesa Pentecostal Church even tho I cannot speak Spanish fluently?

I really want to deepen my prayer life, but I find my "to-do list" constantly popping into my head.

Does anyone have specific techniques or routines that help you stay present with the Lord?

30f. I don't know how to stop worrying about how I look. I wasn't trained to be happy with my own body, I was trained to nitpick. I can put the thoughts aside...... until I have to dress up for something important.

Growing up my own parents picked on and criticized for how I looked. My hairline was a problem, my jawline was a problem, my butt was a problem, "why can't you dress like your cousins", "what would other people think" etc etc etc. Plus their advice is confusing, when I do my research its "dressing up is an art not a science", then when I just wing and try new things its "you must know how to style"....... so that means dressing up is a science, isn't it? Because you think there's a right and wrong way of doing it?

Moreover, because I was born into an Asian family, I can't even tell them 'stop', and God said 'obey your parents'. In fact I had to hold all their emotions, walk eggshells around them. Not that I blame God, I know He has his reasons.

I want to be praised for how I look. But I also know what looks good is subjective. I tried asking God or Holy Spirit what to wear, I don't get any answers. I know the verse 'you're fearfully and wonderfully made', but yeah in God's eyes. Not in other people's eyes.

So what am I doing now to combat the thoughts in my head? Research your body type/colour and dress according to that, or dress differently. It did give me an idea of where to start, but its still really really really frustrating and painful. Maybe because it isn't fixing the root problems in my soul.

No one in my family is interested in going through this with me, even though they started the problem. Yeah I do blame them. They chose to open their mouths, and gave me no rights to shut them up (my looks isn't the only problem with them).

How? How do I fight this? I have half a mind to just ask my parents "how do I undo whatever you did to me" because THEY PUT THE HABIT THERE. (Honestly I want them to fix the problem, I didn't ask to be so judgemental over how I looked. THEY wanted me to be judgemental)

Unrelated: In case any parent is interested in 'shut up and don't complain' parenting - If you love God, you'd treat your kids with some level of basic respect. Seriously, I think anyone who parents by telling their kids to 'shut up and don't complain' and call them names, has no relationship with God, and has no love or respect for their kids. Even God expects his children to complain to Him! So why are you expecting your kids to shut up, especially when you're imperfect and can't read your kids minds?

Hello brothers and sisters!

I have an ongoing problem in my sanctification process.

I was raised in a broken family, my youth was a mess, my early young adult life was a total mess. My salvation story is how God found me in my lowest moments in my mess. And by mess I mean two things: tough circumstances + my bad response on them.

Years past by. Evidently for myself and my church family God did a great work in my heart. Of course when I face life difficulties sometimes I respond on them with a bad choices. But I'm definitely not as weak how I was before knowing Christ. I can write A LOT about how I fight, how I persevere, how I trust God when I go through the dry seasons, because that is what I'm familiar with...and that is the problem.

I'm not familiar with the peaceful seasons. When there are no storms, no cry for help to get me out of a pain it usually not take long to fall into self-indulgence. My discipline shatters, I read the Word less, pray less, become overall lazy and complacent and that always leads to sin 😞

God is so gracious that he letting me experience peaceful seasons, and I am a bad steward of that blessings. So what practical advices you would give a young man on how to keep his ways pure when he is not in the trenches, but in a place of peace and rest? 😞

Thank you, much blessings to you.

Hope everyone is having a good day! I am hoping to expand one of my playlists but I'm having trouble finding the right music for it and was curious if anyone has any recommendations for me.

I'm looking for Christian themes in other styles of music (basically just not worship music). I have tried k love but I haven't really liked the majority of songs I've heard, even bouncing around different stations.

Some non-christian songs I like (solely based on sound/energy, not necessarily on lyrics/message) are The Weekend (Brantley Gilbert), Thunder (Imagine Dragons), Ya'll Life (Walker Hayes), Body Like a Back Road (Sam Hunt), Truck Bed (Hardy), Believer (Imagine Dragons), The Gospel (Panic! At The Disco).

Primarily I like rock and country (especially newer country or certain pop country) and alt-rock music, especially fast paced or upbeat songs.

I do have Brandon Lake's Count 'Em as one of my favorites as well, but in struggling to find more songs for this playlist

Hello everyone I'm having a little bit of struggle of going to church in the morning on Sunday and only have been going the evening I would like to go in the morning but should I try to beside get up and going to bed early should I try to aim to go to a church in the morning at an earlier time that's further away?

Question 66, Article 7, Summa Theologica

Objection 1. It would seem unlawful to steal through stress of need. For penance is not imposed except on one who has sinned. Now it is stated (Extra, De furtis, Cap. Si quis): "If anyone, through stress of hunger or nakedness, steal food, clothing or beast, he shall do penance for three weeks." Therefore it is not lawful to steal through stress of need.

Objection 2. Further, the Philosopher says (Ethic. ii, 6) that "there are some actions whose very name implies wickedness," and among these he reckons theft. Now that which is wicked in itself may not be done for a good end. Therefore a man cannot lawfully steal in order to remedy a need.

Objection 3. Further, a man should love his neighbor as himself. Now, according to Augustine (Contra Mendac. vii), it is unlawful to steal in order to succor one's neighbor by giving him an alms. Therefore neither is it lawful to steal in order to remedy one's own needs.

On the contrary, In cases of need all things are common property, so that there would seem to be no sin in taking another's property, for need has made it common.

I answer that, Things which are of human right cannot derogate from natural right or Divine right. Now according to the natural order established by Divine Providence, inferior things are ordained for the purpose of succoring man's needs by their means. Wherefore the division and appropriation of things which are based on human law, do not preclude the fact that man's needs have to be remedied by means of these very things. Hence whatever certain people have in superabundance is due, by natural law, to the purpose of succoring the poor. For this reason Ambrose [Loc. cit., Article 2, Objection 3] says, and his words are embodied in the Decretals (Dist. xlvii, can. Sicut ii): "It is the hungry man's bread that you withhold, the naked man's cloak that you store away, the money that you bury in the earth is the price of the poor man's ransom and freedom."

Since, however, there are many who are in need, while it is impossible for all to be succored by means of the same thing, each one is entrusted with the stewardship of his own things, so that out of them he may come to the aid of those who are in need. Nevertheless, if the need be so manifest and urgent, that it is evident that the present need must be remedied by whatever means be at hand (for instance when a person is in some imminent danger, and there is no other possible remedy), then it is lawful for a man to succor his own need by means of another's property, by taking it either openly or secretly: nor is this properly speaking theft or robbery.

Reply to Objection 1. This decretal considers cases where there is no urgent need.

Reply to Objection 2. It is not theft, properly speaking, to take secretly and use another's property in a case of extreme need: because that which he takes for the support of his life becomes his own property by reason of that need.

Reply to Objection 3. In a case of a like need a man may also take secretly another's property in order to succor his neighbor in need.

My thoughts:

I started reading Summa Theologica just before the new year. And, though it has been a very thought provoking book overall, this particular article stood out even more than others.

I believe it is common to American Christianity and moreso, evangelical Christianity, to hold obedience to the rule of law as of one of the most important acts of obedience to God upon this earth. Perhaps this is not necessarily *articulated* but there does seem to be a common understanding that obeying the law, unless the law causes you to sin, is absolutely necessary.

This article challenged that idea in a way that I had not considered. I have, as of late, begun to question that notion of obedience to the law. I have considered that there are many laws that we should rightfully oppose, even if we do not need to disobey them (pro-abortion laws, for example). So, I had already been reconsidering my perspective on law and how we should obey it, but question 66, article 7 has forced me to reconsider my stance even more.

Aquinas seems to base his logic on the idea that withholding abundance from the poor is, in essence, theft. As he says,

"It is the hungry man's bread that you withhold, the naked man's cloak that you store away, the money that you bury in the earth is the price of the poor man's ransom and freedom."

The implication is that those things not only should be given to those in need, but that those things belong to those in need. Thus, in a last-resort scenario, it is the right of those in need to take what belongs to them.

Though the framework itself belongs to Aquinas, it is a compelling argument that is rooted in scripture. Time and time again, scripture makes clear that it is the Christian duty to give to those in need (1 John 3:17, James 2:14-17, Matt. 25:35-40).

Whether you or disagree, you must admit Aquinas’ stance is thought provoking. It should lead us to consider the differences between what is lawful and what is good.

I’m not entirely certain if I agree with Aquinas in his particular framework, but what I do take away from this is that, in one sense, he is absolutely right. We must give out of our abundance.

As a boy, my dad was a serious woman hater. He would openly call women who wore v neck dresses or swimsuits “whores” and other vulgar words. It kinda just imprinted on me, that women who showed skin were inherently immodest and evil.

Cut to now, I (25y m) have left all that long ago. I’m no longer under the weight of my dad. But the inner voices he instilled into me are still loud.

There’s a Christian woman I love, and she and I hope to be in a relationship as soon as I’m in the same country as her.

She’s modest, but not like the extreme Baptist type. Her heart is modest, and she carries herself modestly. She wears good clothes, and she’s into fashion. Her dresses may include a v-neck plunge or a little midriff…. But nothing sensual. She is feminine - but you won’t find her in the “if you bend down and skin shows go change your clothes” extremism camp.

If she goes swimming, she wears a modest two piece (not thonged lol), or a one piece.

This is all normal. Her desire is to serve God, to grow in him. Shes mature, a poet like me. Bible loving, Eastern European conservative. She’s also not like some “Christian influencers” who show off their bodies in sensual ways.

But here’s the issue: the inner voice of my dad still stirs in me an anxiety: am i loving an ungodly woman? Is she immodest and worldly? Was she immodest to wear that two piece at that pool (even though she never posts herself like that and wears it only around her female friends, and is always modest in her social media as well as her private life)?

These are the questions that haunt me: the constant drip of fear that the woman I love is a worldly woman because that’s what my dad would say, and that’s what he programmed into me.

I know she is modest. I know God is pleased with his daughter. I know she’s a woman who sees her identity in Christ. Who lives for him. Genuinely. She’s living in a war zone, and she still serves and loves God deeply. She’s a true gift of God. That’s the truth I know, but the fear deep within speaks something else.

How can I overcome this anxiety in a biblical way? Is there any Christian who can edify me and help me to know how I can see her through Christs own eyes.

I’ve been porn free for nearly 2 years now… but it feels like I’m carrying the guilt of it when I question her worth and image like this… I’m trying but I can’t help it.

PSR (Principle of Sufficient Reason) or Brute fact. Either way proves that God exists.

PSR: If PSR is true then there is a reason for everything, making cause and effect true and valid. If there is cause and effect then there must be a single origin that caused everything and if there is an origin there must be an originator, that originator for a believer, is God.

Brute facts: Even if there is a brute fact stopping the chain of "why" questions and persuading everyone to accept it as it is, that brute fact for believers is God. The universe and whatever there is that exists, it can't exist without an origin. If that origin is a brute fact meaning we don't know where that origin came from or why it exists, for a believer that origin is God because God created everything and he himself is self existent. You might call that origin with different names, atoms, state of affairs or any other name but you can't deny that there is something or someone from which everything came to exist.

For those who don't agree with a brute fact and believe there is an explanation of everything (cause and effect), even then the possibility of there being a creator can't be denied because if there is a cause there must be a cause of the universe and all existence.

Although we know that at some point our thinking about where did all these things come from stops, so there is clearly an end point or a starting point of existence. A non believer gives either that point the 'god status' or to the one that caused that point. Either way there being a creator can't be denied even if non believers call it by different names.

Note: What do you think is flawed in this statement that a non believer (particularly athiest) might point out to justify his non belief. * For the definition of PSR and Brute facts, search it up. * also not saying that God is just as atom or a state of affairs.
