I found this video a few months ago and believe it does a great job of showing the struggles a growing Christian can go through.

I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee. Isaiah 44:22
In case you haven’t caught on this site is about being Redeemed - He Redeemed Us and that’s why we can even live today. Webster’s defines [...]

I think one of the most difficult tasks facing Christians today is there battle against an expected end. We can fight all day long against evil, temptation, and trials only to wake up and face the same set of circumstances again. Ask anyone who has left the church or walked away from God [...]

Do you ever try to hide things from people? Perhaps it’s a struggle, a trial, a suffering, or a secret, but you try your hardest to keep it from people - even God?
O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me. Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought [...]

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. Romans 12:1

Skillet has a song on their latest album called The Last Night about a person who goes to God and says I have nothing else to live for, I am done living, and I want to walk away.
You come to me with your scars on your wrist
You tell me this will be the last night [...]

Zechariah 4:6 says:
Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might,  nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.
This is a reference back to Haggai 2:4-6
Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the LORD; and be strong, O Joshua, [...]

I have heard numerous preachers use the term radical amputation to describe the best way to deal with sin - I am going adopt that term because I think it does a great job of summing up how to deal with temptation.
And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from [...]

I wonder sometimes if we Christians do a good enough job of watching our language. I am not talking extreme cussing or foul language, but the “Oh my G**” and “J**** C****” that slip out often enough for others to notice. The Bible is clear on the type of communication that should proceed out of [...]
