Lies We Tell Ourselves About Sin
-What ever happened to sin?
It seems like today sin is a word that is ‘politically incorrect’
Sometimes we justify our sins by saying, “It depends on what the meaning of the word is, is.” Do we really want to say that? We all know who said that in his public address.
-Our most common lies about sin:
“What I’m doing isn’t that bad”: It seems like...

In an effort to get closer to God, I started a daily devotional reading. It’s called Morning & Evening by Charles Spurgeon. I have been needing to take a step in the right direction for a LONG time now. Well, I was at a loss at what I needed to do first. I opened up to September 19th. I read it. Here is a portion:
The gift came from heaven, let it go to heaven. Prayer brought it,...
I hate it when I’m watching a movie, television show, or YouTube video and I’m sitting there enjoying it like this:
And a friend is sitting there pointing out every time a curse word or the Lord’s name in vain is used. I mean, yes, it’s not the best, but you don’t have to freak out every time! I mean the movies and shows and YouTube videos are made by the world. If...

Lies We Tell Ourselves About God
Why lie to ourselves.
—God does not know or see what I’m doing:
Psalm 73:11 “They say, ‘How does God know? And is there knowledge with the Most High?’”
God always knows. Why do we tell ourselves He doesn’t. Even if we may not tell ourselves that, we act like we believe that sometimes.
—God sees things the way I do:
I Samuel 16:7 “But the...

We were young, twenty one, all those years ago In came a fascination, everything is under control Full of life, untried, through thickets and through thorns Out came a revelation, everything is out of control Do you feel it? Do you feel it now? Cuz we want it, but we don’t know how? Do we have it, as much as anybody ever has? I wanna wake you from your dream, I wanna know just who...

The Trinity
If God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit were the same, they would not have different names, and they would not appear separately as in Matthew 3:16-17.
After being baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold the heavens were opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove and lighting on Him, and behold, a voice out of the heavens said, “This is My beloved Son, in...

Patience
My patience is being built SO much right now! It’s almost making me frustrated. I’m tired of having 6 people live in my room! That’s too many! There is like no personal space!! I don’t mind if people use my things, but they need to at least put them back, otherwise my OCD goes off the wall!
I know this will benefit me for the future, but right now, it’s just too...

Talking to God
How often do we talk to God? He loves us more than any person ever will. It’s painful for Him to love us because most people don’t return His love. It’s the same thing for us; if we love someone and they don’t return the feelings, it is one of the most painful things.
God loves us! We need to talk to Him!! Compare it to a husband and wife relationship. He is our husband,...

Don't Send Me Dirty Pictures
nonelikejesus:
Relationships are difficult. Yeah, they can be wonderful and whimsical and lovely but the ones worth the trouble are the ones that can cause the most trouble. We put our heart and soul into wanting this person so they’ll want us back. We bend and stretch and compromise so that our relationship will work (and so that we won’t end up alone, save for our 57 cats). If we’re lucky, our...
