    How do I enjoy this life?

    Sorry I said what I said about this message board. I’m very grateful for everything everyone has said to me. I guess I just feel like I should be joyful as a Christian and I’m still not. I want to always be rejoicing but I don’t know how to do that. All I know is that I will never turn away from...

    How do I enjoy this life?

    Thank you. That helped a lot. I guess I meant hate my sinful flesh because no one is perfect until he or she gets to heaven. I know God loves me very much but I think he is just putting me through a difficult time right now to come out stronger. I am just too aware that this world is run by the...

    How much should I know about God?

    Thank you but I feel like you may have judged me inaccurately. I’m certain the Holy Spirit indwells me. I am pretty knowledgeable but I have difficulties explaining myself all of the time. I don’t watch tv or movies. All I do is read the Bible, pray and read books about the Bible recommended by...

    How do I enjoy this life?

    Thank you so much for your help. I mean sometimes I think that I won’t be happy at all until I go to heaven. I am aware of my sin and I repent and I am turning away from my sin but I just want to be in heaven because I want to be with Jesus. I know it isn’t up to me though

    Does God control our thoughts?

    Well I was just suggesting you take a listen. Obviously you’re right but I’m just saying this pastor knows a lot. There is a such thing as certain Christians having a little more knowledge than others

    Does God control our thoughts?

    Well I believe it is a mystery that we are somehow held responsible yet God ultimately controls our decisions. I believe it is something we can’t comprehend. I follow Pastor John Piper and he has said this same thing

    Does God control our thoughts?

    Wow I never read this passage before. Thank you. I believe God has control of the devil too and uses him for his purposes, although I am aware that God has no evil in him at all. So that means even the bad thoughts I have about myself (for example I quite often have the thought “I am a failure”)...

    How do I enjoy this life?

    It is my understanding that as a Christian I am to hate my life and myself in that I am a sinner and eternal life is what truly matters. I understand this is only a tiny part of my true life. But I just can’t seem to enjoy anything being so preoccupied with going to heaven. And I am very...
