Hey! Okay there are 2 issues I can see here... The first is that if we have a low opinion of ourselves and we may do things that are like punishments, this a trick of the devil. We sometimes think that its humility to say i'm a sinner but we have …

Hi sleepy! :) You are absolutly right! I was offering an exmple (it was't supposed to be realistic and its not)! I could have made it a bit better by making on along the lines of being a surrogate father or somthing like that but anyways, I am not…

Hello sleepy, I am not referring to all music, as stated only destructive and non destructive. Thats it. Its not the reason itself but the exposure. I mean suppose I had sex for the purposes of say a scientific experiment. Its not gratifying a phy…

[quote author=sleepymusician link=board=1;threadid=474;start=15#msg8192 date=1091466711] I still believe that if you can balance the two, and you don't fall into lust or temptation from that music than everything can be okay. I mean, you know you've…

Hi LostEgPrincess, That sounds like a real problem! I think I understand where your coming from though... How about you go and see your FOC and consider if there are somethings you can do to pass the time a bit better. Maybe you can make a Church…

Slight corrective. ;D Wearing a gown and singing DOES NOT make you a deaconess, to be a deaconess you have to be a nun. All women are allowed to wear gowns and sing in the same way a man can wear a gown and sing. I actually know a evangelical chr…

Hey all, My understanding is that women (while not being deacons) can both wear the gown and sing but not enter the altar and do sacramental service (this is the only thing they are not allowed to do). God bless, CS

Is this like a serious fight or just play fighting? CS

Hi david :) That sounds like a real problem... The best thing we can do is be honest with God in a situation like that. If we stand before God honestly and say God I really like this music but I know you don't like it and I need your help to stop…

Hey Mina, I can understand your predicament. ??? These verses shouldn't be taken in the sense that God denies free choice. If you look at it in its fullest sense you will see that God did allow Pharoah free will. The hardening of heart is not so…

Alright... Is it possible to make an effort to pray maybe like an hour before going to bed or something like that? We need to pray both at night and in the morning for different reasons. The night prayer takes a lot of thought because you have to…

Hi Conqueror, What factors are involved? 1. Do you intentionally stay up late? 2. Do you pray in bed? 3. Do you go to bed so late that you don't have time to wake up in the morning and pray? God bless, CS
