Yet if you devote your heart to Him and stretch out your hands to Him, if you put away the sin that is in Your hand and allow no evil to dwell in your tent, then you will lift up your face without shame; you will stand firm and without fear.

—Job 11:13-15

“From the Inside Out” by Hillsong

Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades Dios eterno, Tu luz por siempre brillara Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame y Tu gloria, incomparable sin final And the cry of my heart is to bring You praise El clamor de mi ser es contigo estar From the inside out desde mi interior

There is something beautiful about people worshiping in many languages.

❄⛄🎶Christmas Music in Different Languages🎶⛄❄

Hello! So, I’ve researched some Christmas music in different languages. Some have a lot, like, too much so I narrowed it down, and some don’t have that much, but I found the best I could. Some are similar songs to what English speakers and Americans are used to such as “jingle bells” etc etc, while others are their own original seasonal songs. If it’s similar or the same song as traditional songs in English, I’ll put them in the parenthesis. So anyway, enjoy and happy holidays!

Sometimes God says no. Rejoice in that. He is saving you from a will that is not His. He is saving you from disappointment, pain, hurt, and sin. He loves you enough to say no.

10 Tips to Overcoming Pornography Addiction

“Overcoming addiction is a painful process: the more addicted you are, the harsher the withdrawal.

This is why constant prayer and study of the Word is important. With every action you take toward God, you let go of your hold over yourself and your life. Then you let go of those things that are harmless in themselves but almost always leads you back into sin. Call it the threshold to sin if you will. Just beyond it is the wasteland, and temptation is the border.

And when you find yourself lingering on that threshold, call up your accountability partner, talk to God. Learn to turn away.”

Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. —Colossians 3:5

Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.

Garbage In, Garbage Out. Fill yourself with what is good and pure.

(#18) German Modal Particles - Jedenfalls

What is a modal particle?

A word that stresses/emphasises something in a sentence or reflects the attitude a speaker is trying to convey. They are scarce in English (and various other languages), but to give an example take a look at ‘then’ in this sense:

“So how old are you then?”

If one was saying this to a child it could be seen as making the overall tone of the question more endearing and curious, not blunt.

=====

German Modal Particle - Jedenfalls

#1 - Stresses why sth should be the case or not as bad as it seems (”at least”).

Ex: Vielleicht seid ihr krank, ihr seht jedenfalls schlecht aus. Perhaps you’re all ill, at least you all don’t look well.

=====

I hope this helps :)

Ich möchte etwas beichten. Ich bin nach Schmutzliteratur süchtig.

Die ist mir ein großes Problem.

Als Christin soll ich niemals diese Geschichte lesen, aber das tue ich.

Ich möchte aufhören, aber ich will noch lesen.

Hierdurch hatte ich auch Porno und Pornobilder angeschaut. Ich hatte ebenfalls Pornospiele auf dem Net gespielt.

Wie lernte ich diese kennen? Durch Fan Fiction.

Darum soll ich Fan Fiction nicht mehr lesen?

Ich weiß genau, dass nicht alle Geschichten—na ja, nicht alle Dinge auf dem Net sind schlecht.

Aber nach ich Geschichte lese, die nicht so schlecht sind, möchte ich oft was schlecht ist lesen.

Aber ich schreibe gerade einen Fan Fiction. Ich habe nur 4 und halb geschrieben. Ich will den fertig schreiben. Gute Übung für die Zukunft, oder? Ich will in absehbarer Zukunft einen Roman schreiben. Den ist in Planung.

Ich möchte beide Geschichten schreiben. Was soll ich tun?
