    • If you have trusted in the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation - believing He paid the complete penalty for your sins when He shed His blood and died on the cross for you, and you have received His free gift of salvation by faith alone - then He has promised never to leave you or forsake you. There are MANY passages that state this principle. I am sorry you are struggling, but we are to walk by faith, not by sight or feelings. Get in the Bible, find those promises that fit your life, claim them and cling to them by faith. Don't let feelings dictate to your faith and affect your spiritual walk negatively. That will only get you into trouble. Isaiah 50:10-11 Who is among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God. Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow. Trust in the Lord, even in the darkness - see how other Bible writers dealt with struggles like this, especially in the Psalms. Follow the end of their faith, their example. Hebrews 13:5-6 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. The Holy Spirit is for you and is interceding for You: Romans 8:26-27 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. God the Father is for you. He met your greatest need - spiritual life and forgiveness, reconciliation with Him. He will not abandon you now: Romans 8:31-32 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? The Lord Jesus Christ is for you and is interceding for you too: Romans 8:33-34 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Nothing in all this world, in all creation, in all eternity, can separate your from Him or His love: Romans 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Romans 8:38-39 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Psalm 40:17 But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.  
    • As far as the ratings and content of this movie goes, it seems decent with no objectionable content. If you showed it at a youth event of some kind, make sure it is not the only or major focus. BUT if it is bothering your conscience and you have no peace after prayer about it, do NOT do it. We are to make sure our mind is filled with the Word of God and that effects our concience too - so we should never be doing things that cause us concern and goes against our conscience. The Bible warns about have a seared conscience, a weak one, a good one, a pure conscience, a defiled conscience. Our conscience is part of God's guidance system for our lives and we get in trouble if we disregard its warnings - regardless of what others say. That is basically the idea of Romans 14. If others think something is ok and your conscience troubles you about it, then heed it and don't do it. There are many other activities you can do instead.
    • Hello everyone. I apologize that I haven't been around for awhile, but I am reaching out because I  have a question about movies like "Courageous". One of our youth leaders wants to play this movie and I feel that as Christians,  we should avoid this type movie. There is a good  message about fathers being a strong role model and the leader of the family,  but there is some violent crime scenarios which include police chases, auto thefts with babies in the back seat etc, and I feel that as the elder of the church, we would be using our time at youth group reading and discussing from God's Precious Word. There is very little mentioned about the church and the Bible. Although the makers of this movie call themselves Baptist ( that use the NASB may I add), I still am feeling a pull from God not to be a part of it and maybe speak out about. If the parents of these youth chose to watch this movie at home with them, so be it, but I believe we could use the time more wisely by feeding on God's Word. What do you think? 
    • I have tried not to think of God's absence I can't stand it. I have tried to deepen myself in his world but quite often I can't hold but feeling lonely, abandoned and rejected 
    • Do you really believe God has forsaken you? I mean, really...You sound nothing like Christians that I have known in deep trials and tribulations, including several who were in prison in the USSR, and even in the death camps in Germany.  The Bible tells us that God will NEVER leave us or forsake us if we're truly saved.
