    Do you find it harder to guard truth or proclaim it?

    Proclaiming the truth requires several things , but three main things must be present: I must know the truth, someone must be willing to at least hear me speak the truth, and I must have the courage to do so. Guarding truth only requires knowledge of it, and much less courage as defense is by definition reactive.

    Doesn’t matter. biggest thing: are they encouraging you to get into The Word, and actually doing what it says and operating with producing fruit? the number of people doesn’t determine the weight of the church or impact! 2 people meeting together can have much more weight and impact than a mega church without fruit.

    Do you find it harder to guard truth or proclaim it?

    When I first became a believer, it was very hard for me to proclaim the truth of the gospel. There are some people that can be quite brutal and I was terrified of being confronted by someone. Now, I will gladly proclaim the truth of Jesus. He has done so much for me in my life that even though I may not be able to quote scripture, I can tell of what God has done for me. If they do not agree, okay no worries you have a blessed day!

    Do you find it tougher to trust God's timing or His methods?

    I struggle equally with both, but I trust God. His character is holy and perfect. His word is trustworthy and immutable.

    When have you felt torn between worldly distractions and faith?

    Daily. Everyday life consumes my thoughts and I fail to see and act with a heart that looks for His will first.

    I will study deeply the passage to hold on that faith is not rooted in man but God

    Reflection · Jesus' Perfect Sacrifice

    If you were Moses, would you have felt overshadowed by Christ's glory?

    I think Moses knew he was only a tool for God’s ultimate plan, and that he knew didn’t do anything of his own power but by God’s power through him. Moses wouldn’t feel overshadowed but thankful God’s plan is perfect. And I don’t think I would feel overshadowed because without Jesus I couldn’t be significant.

    Different translations vary in what they say. Now all the Bibles used should be trustworthy translations the way some things are phrased can resonate with certain people. As long as it is true to the scripture translation depends on the person.

    small church because then you can build strong connections with them and then they are like your family. “This is coming from a girl who has no friends at her church and goes to a big church.

    Not necessarily. forgiveness just means letting it go. not letting what they did harden your heart. but that doesn’t mean subjecting yourself to their mess again. you’re just not allowing it to become a grudge.

    Should Christians have tattoos even if they are Bible and Christ related.

    what do you think

    Just like all the questions on here, it depends on the particular situation and what the vote is for. If there is a definitive evil that must be defeated, and in many cases there could be, then yes you have a duty. If Christ is not on the ballot, we are necessarily choosing between the lesser of two evils.

    When have you felt torn between worldly distractions and faith?

    Everyday. But ultimately my comfort and truth is found in the overwhelming love I find in god and nothing shakes that. I may be distracted from it but it’s always there.
