im asking for ur help, i am going through hell

So I don't cry often. Did today. Don't lose my cool often. Did today. Am I the only one who thinks that this whole thing is an impossibility? Am I the only one who thinks it is sick to voice ur opinion to God cause he is holy? Should we be scared of someone who loves us? there is NO fear in love. yea right. Ask me about the time i went to buy a bulldog and my car swerved off the side of the road at 65. If heloves, and he disciplines, that sure made me "Fear" the Lord.

I am sounding like a heathen saying this but we have all these cliches. "God's not going to force u to love him" "the Holy Spirit is a gentlemean." I can remember turning my car around on my way to a job interview cause i felt so bitter in my soul about applying. God doesnt want me working god wants me as a full time eveangelist. So if i dont want to do it, what will happen? I can't ever seeing myself being a full time maniac...

Jesus

Is Jesus requiring in 2011?
is Jesus putting pressure on his kids?
Is Jesus chastening because he doesnt like what ur doing with your life?
is jesus giving u a choice?


this is coming from my heart, if jesus is setting death and life before me, ill never(and the rock meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeans) NEVER choose life? i dont want to pick the holy life every morning when i wake up. its foreign to this world and lonely. why would i choose a life of isolation?

Made in God's image

I went to church Sunday and got invited back to the pastor's house. Man was it a good time. Food, games, and freedom. I don't know how long this will last. We will see what God has in store. I wonder if this is going to be my new church family.

So we say God needs nothing. Acts 17:25- "nor is He served by human hands, as though He needed anything, since He Himself gives to all people life and breath and all things." But we read in the bible this very verse- “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness” (Genesis 1:26) So what does it mean???


Does it still hurt God when we don't love Him? Since we are made in his image, is it safe to say he feels the emotion of rejection or am I way off here? or is he perfectly content without our love?

I knew I had you, as cocky as it sounds

So Wednesday night I went to a prayer meeting. Before prayer even started I talked with the pastor's wife. She believes that the bible teaches that God limits Himself depending on our faith. She also believes our prayers are what primarily moves God to action. She thinks that this is so since the bible says that all authority and dominion has been given to us. I don't like the sound of this. God only moves if we are willing? I can remember times when I was absolutely faithless and God still intervened. And didn't God use a donkey to speak to someone?

There seems to be a reacurring theme in my posts. Do we further the work of God depending on our obedience?

I got so much chips I swear they call me Hewlett Packard

"Your family might never come to Christ if they don't see you grow in God" True or False???

they don't want what you have :(

So I have a question... Is someone's salvation influenced by our choices, actions, and behaviors? I know you guys have heard it before, "I lead her/him to the Lord." In Jonah it says "Salvation is OF THE LORD!" But we are told to be a strong witness and not compromise so people can see Jesus in us. Yet we are called "sheep." Bob George, and I'm not a huge fan, said that sheep are the dumbest animals in the world. Jesus said "I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

I was talking to someone the other day and they thought the idea that someone could rape, kill, steal, lie, and still go to heaven was ludicrous. I felt like saying "You have done all these at least in thought." Are we looked upon as people who just want the easy way out and not take any responsibility ourselves? I like to think not. I like to think we wanted to know who God was. I like to think Jesus is someone who we needed at a desperate time in our life. I know I never felt like I fitted in with the world. Anyway...


Back to my main question. Are we God's "representatives" in a fallen world who, if don't make wise choices, can keep a person saying "I knew He (Jesus) wasn't real." Man if that is the case guys then I should stop asking questions. I've heard pastors say "Yes" and I've seen pastors say "Truth is truth regardless if it's giving by Billy Graham or Charles Manson." Simply meaning, Jesus is Lord no matter what a person is doing or saying. The bible will be real regardless of our choices.

I can remember going to a christian meeting before I got saved. I thought they were a bit weird but ultimately I felt I could be myself and wouldn't get judged. There was no evangelism going on at the college or miraculous moves of the spirit. But when I was with these kids, I felt safe. I came to Christ cause I wanted a new family. If anything, they WERE compromising christians and had a weak testimony. But I wasn't out to get them. I felt accepted and thats all that mattered.
