I think it’s awful, it’s awful for them to be hurt. You don’t hurt someone who struggles with sexual sins such as premarital sex. (Especially not if they’re male, they’re sadly even praised for that! Disgusting!)
They should be welcomed with open arms, yes. You’re a sinner, we all are. Let God embrace you, let him help you with your burdens, you can be free of sin.
The hardest part of this path will be to recognize that homosexuality is a sin.
Don’t be alarmed; all of us are sinners. All of us have had our spirit broken and then rebuilt stronger through Christ’s love.
Let him build you up from the bottom, let him show you that he can break your chains.
It’s going to be a hard road, but the life of grace is far better than a life of sin.
God will not lead you into temptation. He keeps his promises.
Most of the time I’m just really happy and dont worry about anything except pleasing God.
If I struggle to stay happy it’s by my own sinful nature, I still don’t take lightly to disrespect, the other week my sister was laying hard disrespect on me and I threw a picture on the floor, went to her room and messed it up.
After my anger I apologized and cleaned her room though of course, but I’m sharing with you my struggles and I’ll be open about it, I don’t mind.
After I have my tantrum I pray, I go into my room, lights off cause I’m ashamed and I pray. I apologize, I ask God to forgive me and help me to do better, then I go back out to my sister and apologize.
Prayer is really important. Stay in the word. Watch a sermon on what you’re struggling with
I trusted in the Lord when I said, “I am greatly afflicted.” Psalm 116:10
Two men convicted of drug trafficking had been on death row for a decade. While in prison, they learned of God’s love for them in Jesus, and their lives were transformed. When it came time for them to face the firing squad, they faced their executioners reciting the Lord’s Prayer and singing “Amazing Grace.” Because of their faith in God, through the power of the Spirit they were able to face death with incredible courage.
They followed the example of faith set by their Savior, Jesus. When Jesus knew that His death was imminent, He spent part of the evening singing with friends. It’s remarkable that He could sing under such circumstances, but what’s even more remarkable is what He sang. On that night, Jesus and His friends had a Passover meal, which always ends with a series of Psalms known as the Hallel, Psalms 113–118. Facing death, that night Jesus sang about the “cords of death” entangling Him (Psalm 116:3). Yet He praised God’s faithful love (117:2) and thanked Him for salvation (118:14). Surely these Psalms comforted Jesus on the night before His crucifixion.
Jesus’s trust in God was so great that even as He approached His own death—a death He had done nothing to deserve!—He chose to sing of God’s love. Because of Jesus, we too can have confidence that whatever we face, God is with us.
MARK 14:16-26 ESV
and wherever he enters, say to the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says, Where is my guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ And he will show you a large upper room furnished and ready; there prepare for us.“ And the disciples set out and went to the city and found it just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover. And when it was evening, he came with the twelve. And as they were reclining at table and eating, Jesus said, “Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me, one who is eating with me.” They began to be sorrowful and to say to him one after another, “Is it I?” He said to them, “It is one of the twelve, one who is dipping bread into the dish with me. For the Son of Man goes as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born.” And as they were eating, he took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to them, and said, “Take; this is my body.” And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, and they all drank of it. And he said to them, “This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many. Truly, I say to you, I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.” And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
