It’s Mailbag Friday! How do I stop feeling like I need to keep getting saved? Wretched Radio | Air Date: August 09, 2024 https://media-wretched.org/Radio/Podcast/WR2024-0809.mp3 It’s Mailbag Friday! You have questions. We have answers. If you have any questions, comments, conundrums, snarks, or ideas send them to idea@wretched.org. Segment 1 It feels like every night I keep getting saved, and when I wake up in the morning I feel lost. It feels like I am in a cycle and I want to just rest in Christ and truly desire Him but my heart is so dull. -Kaiden Segment 2 I want to buy some clothes online, however I have to make a $1 donation to a company supporting ‘indigenous LGBTQ’ people. I am wondering if this would be sinful for me to participate in since I am directly supporting the act with my money. -Cory Segment 3 If your Elders in the church give counsel–that is not over a black and white issue in the Bible (not over sin), but is what they believe is the most wise in a certain situation–and you don’t take it and they tell you you’re in sin because of it and that you’re wise in your own eyes, and after talking through it and they still want to force the counsel (which makes it no longer counsel, but a command), is that a good reason to leave a church? -Anonymous I have a question about dealing with gossip in the church. How do I handle situations where people might misunderstand me in the church? My parents are leaders in the church, and they’ve advised me not to talk too much about our family because of gossip. There seems to be a lot of hypocrisy in the church, which I’m unsure how to navigate. -Simi I’d tell you a joke about air conditioners, but you probably wouldn’t be a fan. -Andrew Segment 4 Years ago, with an immature conscience, I believed drinking any alcohol was sinful. To avoid sin, I made a vow to God never to drink again. Over the past 20 years, I’ve matured and now understand Christian liberty, recognizing that having a beer or wine is permissible, aside from drunkenness. However, I feel bound by my vow and believe it must be kept because God is holy. I made the vow out of a legalistic desire to control my actions and avoid temptation. Now, I wonder if I was misguided in doing so. -Richard I’m a 15-year-old pastor’s kid, I’ve always grown up in the church and was recently saved and baptized. Our summer camp recently strengthened my faith like never before. I brought a friend from school who seemed ready to put their trust in Jesus. How can I encourage him to take that step? Also, how can I ensure this isn’t just a spiritual high and maintain this fire in my regular life? -Josh ___ Download Now (right click and save) Subscribe to Wretched Radio to receive every new episode directly to your device by selecting your device type or by copying the RSS feed link and pasting it into your podcast application.
