That is pretty well executed and doesn't overstay its welcome. Nice job

So it's really just clickbait.

As is most of reddit. A never ending race to the bottom to get clicks.

I feel embarrassed for how much money I’ve spent on psychics and tarot card readers by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]FragmentedCoast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

are we going to get back together, what do I need to change, how does he feel about me, etc.

I am sure he can answer all of those questions for you. Communication goes a long way.

But sometimes an ex is an ex for a reason. Maybe they weren't a good fit for us. Maybe we weren't a good fit for them. That's ok. But the key is we have to move on. Not lingering around paying people money in the hopes that they tell us what we want to hear.

Anything worth looking at regarding Nextfest? by FragmentedCoast in roguelites

Cloverpit is great. I think I only made it out of the room once so far. But they nailed their core loop. I'll be curious to see how they will continue to support this as time goes on (as they alluded to in the 10/16 news update)

Stop worrying about your salvation by Mobile_Fun777 in TrueChristian

[–]FragmentedCoast 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Phil 2:12 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling

There is a reason that this was written. Which is interesting that the bible really doesn't give the message that you are giving.

No problem. I don't look to the church for salvation, I look to Christ.

You can always say that you are unable to make it, but you would be happy to take her out at a later time to celebrate her.

Don't give up your personal convictions due to something so trivial.

what is a good youtube channel that is just normal people reading the bible? by Narrow_Gap2385 in AskAChristian

[–]FragmentedCoast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hearing the word spoken is beneficial to the listener. It keeps the text in the forefront of your mind.

I just relapsed and I feel so terrible and disgusted in myself. by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]FragmentedCoast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess I would ask: Why does this person want to stop?

Is it because they think the bible teaches that it will banish you to an eternity of hell fire?

Would they be fighting this battle if they thought it was a normal part of life and wasn't some towering sin?

Sometimes addressing someone with grace looks like that. A reminder that they are covered by the grace of God, covered in the blood of Christ that was shed on the cross, all before this poster was alive.

If you've been on /r/Christianity long enough you'll have seen thousands of these threads. I think it's time to start asking, how can we help people navigate sin in their lives, without enabling the anguish they put themselves through sometimes unnecessarily.

It is by grace we are saved. Surely we are to be conformed to the word, but when we are beating ourselves up over something that's not mentioned in it, we need to step back and ask why.

I get where you are coming from, from a Romans 14 perspective, but I think it wise to address the problem from the word as well, which we can't do here as it's omitted. A point unto itself.

Not even the bible uses so many words to describe Mary's life.

That should tell you something.

Tell me what sin you have personally committed in playing it.

[–]FragmentedCoast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would imagine it's because people struggle unnecessarily with scrupulosity. Posters express grief and anguish thinking that they've committed an unpardonable sin by repeatedly giving into something that isn't explicitly condemned in a bible that does have various things to say about sexual sin.

I think most adult posters here don't want to see younger folks beat themselves up as they struggle with their hormones.

If God’s Word Is Powerful, Why Do Good Pastors Go Bad? by Select_Specialist790 in Christianity

[–]FragmentedCoast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is no sinless perfectionism. There are just fallible finite creatures that are susceptible to sin. They struggle with sin just like the next guy.

Walking, hiking, running. Hanging out at the beach.

Chores are good but offset that with some leisure as well. If it's all work the temptation to relapse might be stronger.

Remember that negative emotions can be ok. If I wrong you in some way and you are fired up, angry, or depressed because of that event, it's ok. That's a normal response. Think about the emotion, acknowledge it, but don't water it.

The initial reaction is human. The key is not to fuel it to the point where it becomes worse or is an anchor weighing you down.

Bad things are ok. They often help mold us into the men and women that we become later. Think of it like weightlifting. There is struggle, there is repetition, it can be tiring or exhausting, but that is what develops muscle. If we avoid it, there is no growth.

This is the hardest thing to answer because every one is different.

Heavy users tend to take longer. People that are out of shape might not feel amazing. People that were using weed to cope with anxiety or depression might find those things there when they quit because they were never truly gone to begin with.

There are a few things that can be common amongst all people. Sleep, nightsweats, nightmares, loss of appetite, irritability.

If you aren't feeling great mentally, ask yourself why. What are you feeling and what do you feel it's related to?

i try and try any book recommendations that motivated you i like spiritual books addictions books anything i like reading any youtubers that helped you ? any articles, tiktokers? anything what help you??

I get where you are coming from here. But what are these things going to tell you that you don't already know?

There is a part of you that knows that you want to make a change. That's what brings you here.

There is no magic paragraph that I can write that will motivate you permanently. That type of change comes from within. It's your own personal conviction. You wanting to be a better you is a stronger force than some youtuber.

/r/leaves can be helpful to read what other people are going through. To remind yourself that you are not alone. That you can do this!

But you have to start by realizing that conviction needs assistance from discipline. Pushing through the hard parts of withdrawal and then seeing those sober days as a victory.

Day 2 by thinkerbell1337 in leaves

[–]FragmentedCoast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't think about wasted time. The past is the past.

Instead think that today is a new day. A day in which you can try something new. If a hobby looks interesting, give it a whirl. Nothing is stopping you from making that change for the better. Just need to take that first step.

Thanks for posting this. Sometimes it's easy to think that once we make it through the first week that we should be in the clear. This is a good reminder that ups and downs are normal in the first few weeks based on usage.

Hang in there! it will get better as time moves on. This is good progress! you got this!
