I feel so guilty when I masturbate. I try to suppress the urge but I can’t always do it. I no longer feel that I can ask God for mercy. I’ve failed so many times.

God’s Grace Is Sufficient
If God’s grace is enough for us to be saved, why does Hebrews 12:14 say that we must pursue holiness with all people and be holy in order to see the Lord?
Has God Abandoned Me?
I have sinned again. Deliberately. I have repented again. I have been through this cycle time and time again. Sin intentionally. Avoid God. Feel bad. Ask God for forgiveness. Feel better. Live with Him. Give in to temptation and enjoy it. Live without God for a while . . . this cycle makes me feel as though my repentance isn’t real. Maybe I’m just living in a completely deceived state, thinking I’m forgiven when I’m really not.

Abide in Me — A Christian Poem
It’s easy to forget that there is always someone to turn to. Someone to cast our cares on. Someone who will give us the living water we so desperately need. Click the link below to read Mike’s poem.
Computer — A Christian Poem
So . . . how often do we use our computers? How well do we know them? The answer, for me, is pretty obvious. I know this computer inside and out. I use it all the time–way too often, in fact.
OK. Now that that’s established, here’s the next question. How often do we read our Bible, God’s manual for us? How well do we know it? When was the last time you picked up your Bible?
Mike’s poem is a good wake-up call. We need to be in the Word.
Sleep — A Christian Poem
You know, if I were Satan, and I knew of a lifeless, dead church, I’d certainly enjoy their suffering. And I might stop in and be entertained by their foolishness once in a while, but my focus would be in other places. I’d zero in on the churches that were strong, and try to tear them apart and bring them down.

Is Torture Ever OK?
At times we see in Scripture that God seems to condone torture. But then God also says He loves everyone and wants everyone to experience His mercy. So which is it? Is torture ever justified? Are there certain situations in which it’s the right thing to do? Or is torture always an evil act?
Christians Should Give, Give, Give!
Giving can be a touchy subject. It seems as though churches are always saying, “Give, give, give!” And some are. But it doesn’t matter what the churches say. What matters is what God says. And what matters is the condition of our hearts. It often seems like the people who complain the most about giving are the ones with the most toys. People get attached to the things this world has to offer. But as followers of Jesus, we lay up our treasure in heaven.
Standing Up Against False Teachers
We had a very zealous reader write us and tell us that Calvinism was wrong. And he felt strongly that he should be standing up and fighting this distortion of the truth. We agree that standing up against false teachers is important. But if errant theology a false teacher makes, then we’re all false teachers–none of has our theology perfectly straight. Check out our latest article addressing the issue of how to deal with other Christians when our theology differs from theirs.
