Particular Baptist
Puritan Board Freshman
I guess I just wanted to post some thoughts, questions, and struggles that I have in my following of Christ.
Struggles
1. Lust
2. Anger
3. Self-Love
I find myself constantly praying and having to fight these three main sins in my life. I constantly feel so unworthy, so filthy. All I want is to be clean, to be held in the arms of my King Jesus Christ. I am the chief of sinners and still have no idea why Christ could ever want a being like I.
Questions/Thoughts
1. If Christ says that blessed are the peacemakers, then why do so many self proclaimed 'Reformed' Christians, who believe in Scripture Alone, still believe in just war? I guess I'm having a struggle with war and violence. Aren't Christians supposed to be non-violent and non-resistent? Shouldn't we draw a contrast between our King, The Prince of Peace, and the ruler of this World, Satan, who was a murderer from the beginning? I'm not saying that I'm a pacifist, but I guess I am struggling with this issue.
Any thoughts (or prayers) that you might have on these would be great!
Thanks and God Bless,
Spencer
