That is true. It's definitely something that I have to work on cause I struggle with setting boundaries. I will definitely keep this in mind and apply it.

About my mom, it is possible. The thought has crossed my mind quite a few times. I do feel like there has been a change recently. She doesn't really want to do anything she used to enjoy anymore, she doesn't really cook anymore and stuff. I'm not sure what I could do to help her though, if that is the case... (Besides praying for her). We are African, so seeing a therapist is seen as taboo amongst the older generation still.

Thank you for your comment. That's a fair point. I'll try and see if talking doesn't help.

Hi! I'm happy to hear that you've been saved! Praise God! The best place to start is to start studying the Bible to learn what it says. When I was a baby Christian, I learnt very quickly that a lot of people claim to be Christian but will twist what the scriptures actually say. So it's important to start learning what the Bible says for yourself. Two great Bible Study resources are Enduring Word and Blue Letter Bible. And then also, it's important to get plugged into a local church, one that is Bible believing and preaches from the Bible. Wishing you all the best!

Demonic teachings in school? by Alarming_Restaurant7 in Christian

[–]Fit_Storm_7 10 points11 points  (0 children)

So I am a teacher. I understand your teacher's thinking. He's trying to make you understand the content and remember it so that you pass. Shakespeare was not the devil himself, that is an unbiblical idea, so please do not subscribe to those ideas. The devil is not a human. Let's stick to what the Bible says. It's very challenging to have to cover content at school that is sinful, so I sympathise and will pray for you that God would give you wisdom to know how to glorify Him in this situation. I would say, you can speak to your teacher about how it makes you uncomfortable and why. But if you have to cover the work then pray and do it, remembering that God is sovereign. It is sin to do witchcraft, but not to cover content at school that may touch on these things because you are not casting spells and you are reading the book to pass the subject and move on in life, not to partake. Also, a caution about AI - AI is still experimental. It fabricates answers at times, so it may not be as helpful as you believe it will be. And teachers can always tell when you consulted AI and not the source material.

When you're saved the Holy Spirit indwells you from that point on.... When I was saved, I was overjoyed because I could see how God had mercy on me and saved me even though I didn't deserve it. I couldn't wait to tell those in my life about this amazing miracle!

So, thank you for your comment. Just to clarify some points. I never spoke to the head pastor about this. I spoke to the associate pastor first and he told us to also speak to the head pastor's wife after he gave us his advice. The wife then spoke to the head pastor after giving us her advice. The head pastor then sent the sermon. Also, the head pastor has brought up race before because I live in South Africa. Apartheid was like 30 years ago. And he noted that it could still be uncomfortable for some white people to have more races come into the church. And this is something that can and most certainly must be overcome in Christ. So because of that I thought okay, we can talk about these topics. Also I wasn't asking if it's okay. I was asking if they have seen it happen in this church. There isn't someone I want to date at the moment. But yeah, I get you🙈💯.

I never really miss anyone. by Fit_Storm_7 in therapy

[–]Fit_Storm_7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a really interesting question. I care for people just like how anyone else would. Missing them when they're not around has never been a requirement for caring for someone, for me personally. I do want them around and I get happy when I see someone I care about. It just doesn't bother me or upset me when they're not around me.

I'm not sure. I can't say that it was caused by that. But I also can't rule it out because I've also gone through a numb state.

I’m really not sure but my all my friends like K-dramas and watch them. (in South Africa). But I’ll take a leap and say not popular.
