    How was your day?

    I am happier today. I managed to reduce to 2mg of my antipsychotic medication for 2 days now which is around my usual dose, and I am not just reducing it but a naturopathic supplement helped stop the worrying I had so that I might likely be able to wean off of it though I wouldn't be too...

    Why do people preach about not trying?

    Yes, I do find our burden becomes lighter when we do/are obedient to something because we know it is for our best and will have a good outcome and that it is God, the wisest and the most loving, who wants this. I guess as we grow in that understanding I think that's when the burden can become...

    Why do people preach about not trying?

    I do believe that we have to do good works (the deeds) for salvation and that it goes hand-in-hand, our faith and deeds in the book of James and that I always thought that when Paul in Romans said that, He was talking about not of works of self, but he was not talking about works of the Spirit...

    Good things about being a Christian vs non-Christian

    though I disagree with ''trouble-free'', what was on your mind when you wrote that? My thoughts and understanding, we will endure hardship of many kinds but our reward will be in Heaven. There will be suffering as it's a fallen world here right now but all that will be done with in Heaven...

    I need to get more vegetables today to cook for my mom and I. I also need to cook mushroom soup for my dad for tomorrow when I visit him. If I accomplish everything I need to do, I will be happy.

    Good things about being a Christian vs non-Christian

    Another good thing we will get as Christians is it seems God gives us things we want too, not only needs which makes the scripture, "Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart", true.

    How was your day?

    I am feeling very lonely and discouraged unhappy. I don't know what else to do that I'm motivated enough to do. I am starting to really try my hardest to be obedient to what the Holy Spirit wants of me everyday so that maybe God will let me in with the fold as a saved Christian as I've...

    Why do people preach about not trying?

    Or is it my error in understanding? It seems like I heard a sermon about not trying to do good works but that it's the Holy and Jesus plus nothing! I feel in my walk, even though I have knowledge of what the Holy Spirit wants me to do, I still have to ''try'' and put my effort to be obedient...

    Good things about being a Christian vs non-Christian

    Hi all, I would like to discuss among each and ask in clarity what the good things truly are when we are Christians as opposed to being non-Christian: The first thing that comes to mind is salvation. If we are truly Christian, we will receive salvation and eternal life with God in Heaven...

    How was your day?

    My day was good considering I yielded to the Holy Spirit and have started to surrender and do so recently. I cooked so that the outcome for our health would be good and there will be no bad consequences such as buying bad food from outside. I also helped make my mom a drink she wanted and I feel...
