Struggles Being A Christian

[@shif807]

First point regarding entertainment available for Christians is so true. Ever since I started having a closer walk with God. I started observing how much non-sense the world feeds us. And makes sin look cool

[@Kian_Wolfgang]

Shiphrah Shiny yes! Entertainment is tough but maybe we can create more demand!

[@fx_sensei434]

big facts

[@Christ2010Grad]

Yeah, story of my life!

[@anthonycox2374]

Amen!

[@choppy1136]

exodus 21 is pretty entertaining just read the whole chapter and you'll feel better

[@jamiebuchert549]

I want friends like you. This isn’t to idolize; I just agree with your viewpoints. I see myself in you and I wish I had more people around me like that! It’s healthy to discuss these feeling with other Christians. If we don’t I feel like that leaves us feeling unbearably isolated.

[@Kian_Wolfgang]

Thank you that's so sweet!

[@lonelyshadownaga8460]

Troubles and struggles are not the end....but with God we can overcome them all. Rough and narrow road, find rest at the end. God bless you and love you so much...

[@antoniettaborzillo2842]

I wish I had a friend like you in my life😊

[@Kian_Wolfgang]

Antonietta Borzillo aww thank you!

[@mariapapa5660]

I've been saved for about 6 months now and not gonna lie, it has been a struggle trying to keep up with the expectations of being a good Christian. Thanks for the video and God bless 💛

[@BriaBarrows]

It’s a struggle for all of us

[@maddymae6716]

I feel like your first struggle is CALLING my name. Actually all of these hit so close to home! Keep it up girl !

[@Kian_Wolfgang]

Maddy Mae thanks Maddy!

[@jennifer10oreo32]

I'm so Happy I found your channel . I struggle with all these things as a Christian I struggle with trying to be perfect everyday. I grew up in a Christian Church and never really cared that much or tried to understand what it meant to follow Jesus I'm 26 and just 4 months ago I found convicted and gave my life to Jesus . I wake up some days i'm miserable because I struggle with trying not to sin everyday and this world we live in just makes it that much harder . I know Jesus died for all my sins and I just so grateful for his Mercy🙏❤️ today was one of those days where I feel down and came across your channel. Thank you for all that you god bless you . By the way I stay in Arizona too😍

[@nicole-wf4pe]

Im in the same position as you right now. Struggling with trying to be a good christian and trying to have a daily, close relationship and prayer life with God. It really is so hard when almost everyone is just living for themselves and telling others [especially us younger people] that we should just do what makes us happy and live to please ourselves. No one is out there saying we should live for God or live a life that shows Jesus living in us. Mainstream media is in fact promoting the opposite of this. It is so hard because i dont have any christian friends and the people at my church seem to already have a clique of their own. I just want someone that can help me and we can encourage each other in our walk with God. I wish i had a friend like Kian. I dont even have one real friend. I know Jesus is all i need but sometimes i just want one person who i can talk with and they understand what i am going through, without judging and without giving worldly advice. I want a close relationship with someone who turns to scripture when trying to comfort or encourage me... i want this so much🥺

[@alanagonzales]

you are so encouraging kian!! love how genuine, transparent, and aesthetic you are! most people only post and focus on their highlights. i can tell you embrace the uncomfortable and uncertainty. keep doing what you’re doing!

[@Kian_Wolfgang]

Thank you for this sweet sweet compliment!

[@shif807]

So excited for your baptism video..Kiannn ♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@krisannette84]

I’ve been a Christian since very young and I still struggle with those because we are all human so what you said at the end sums it up perfectly. If any seasoned Christian says they don’t struggle then they are not human or are just self righteousness! Thank you Jesus for your grace because Your grace is sufficient!

[@anthonycox2374]

Amen! "If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us." (I John 1:8-10)

[@shadaiburch1651]

Hello, Kian! I really enjoyed this video. I believe I struggle with these 5 things as well so I am constantly putting my trust in Jesus which has helped so much! I agree that most entertainment and media are not nourishing to the soul so I’m also currently searching for Christian KZbinrs since I rarely watch television anymore. When it comes to being interested in a guy that’s also a Christian, I also tend to let my feelings take over and see him as a potential husband without fully taking it to God like I should. Excited for more of your videos 👍

[@sonilove2190]

I am praying with you .thanks so much for being an encouragement

[@Kian_Wolfgang]

Soni love thank you Soni I appreciate it

[@sandyrose8619]

PREACH GIRL!! I love the part about trust God to convict his followers, I feel like we've lost so many to the enemy because people feel compelled to tell others what to do and put others down. Ones relationship is between them and God! When you develop your relationship with Christ you know when your doing something wrong you feel it! You read his word and he speaks to you. God is a loving God and he is perfect in his ways. TRUST HIM TO DO HIS JOB ❤️

[@Karlifornia__]

Agreed girl 💛 the first one is so on point for me as I’m sitting at my grandmas while they’re watching stranger things. Keep your faith and stay in his word and he will guide you. He is enough. His love is sufficient 💛

[@jamescowan1100]

Christ does tell we Christian that it is a rough road. I am far from perfect too but only God is perfect, we just strive to do the right thing. That being said I always try to remember that life on earth really does go by so fast the older we get. So I just look at it as life on earth is so temporary compared to the eternity we get to have with Christ. Always remember there are a lot of people in a relationship that want out just like there are people not in a relationship that want one. (The grass is never greener on the other side.) I will pray for you also! :)

[@gabriellerunnells398]

I agree.

[@portiawebb533]

Congratulations on your baptism, lady! Condolences to you and your family as well. Thanks for sharing.

[@Kian_Wolfgang]

Portia Webb thank you 💛

[@stachiano]

i know this was like 3 years, but i really respect and enjoyed this video. real & simple! im struggling so much now my eyes are open, it’s a bit burdensome. thanks for this. nice to know we aren’t alone xo

[@shawngronseth2357]

I love your humility as a Christian. I was like yes to quite a few of your points. It is very difficult to find quality wholesome entertainment these days. I feel that since same sex marriage became legal there is at least one gay person or couple in almost every TV show. Then we as Christians are criticized because others say we spread hate next we believe that being gay is a sin. We shouldn't ever criticize other Christians online because the only things we know about them is what they share in a blog or a KZbin video or a Facebook profile. None of those can ever replace real life and how well we get to know each other in real life. Which is why it's so important that we have a close intimate support system of Christians who can help build each other up in Christ. Personally, I'm a middle school small group leader and I struggle with the feeling of the need to have it all together and be perfect to be in the position I'm in but then other times I'm like the big part of being a small group leader is knowing how to lead by example in hopes that they follow the Godly example that i strive to lead. Christian music. Man there's alot of great Christian music stations out there. Especially online and how easy it is to find online stations. Everyone is doing online nowadays. There are stations for Christian hip hop/rap, Christian rock, praise and worship. There are a ton of Christian music genres out there. My favorite is Christian hip hop. Two of my favorite Christian hip hop online stations are launch radio and jam the hype. Both are great. There are also tons of KZbin vids for Christian music out there. Keep being humble and wise though. Strive to keep learning. Like you said, don't let what others say online affect you because they don't know your journey. They don't know who you are outside of what you share on videos. It's sad that christians judge other Christians online but man that's our sinful selves at battle with the Christians that we are. Anyways, first video I've seen from you. Keep being real. I love people who can be real for God. Thats like one of the most amazing things you can do as a Christian. Keep living for Jesus.

[@tink268]

Korean Dramas on Netflix! They have the sweetest love stories and no SEX yes I said it right! (They basically kiss on the last episode) lol I think these Dramas are a breath of fresh air!!

[@shelley2he844]

I agree with you on all points and struggles with the same things! Thank you for sharing so much with us, I for one really appreciate it. Congrats on your baptism. The video you post on Instagram was beautiful so thanks for sharing that with us aswell x

[@CateOtanes]

Sorry for your loss sister. May the God of peace and comfort be with you and your family. These are relatable. Thank God for Jesus or high priest who can sympathise with us. God bless you sister 💕💕

[@CateOtanes]

Also. It’s sad to hear your point 2. There’s always room for good critiques as long as we are making right judgments, doing it with love, gentless and grace to build our fellow brothers and sisters. But as you’ve mentioned, when done in an ungracious way, viewers who are new in the Faith or almost there can use it as a stumbling block. Anyway, Thanks for sharing. 💕💕💕

[@TimSter15]

I'm currently trapped in my room after my housemates ridiculed my beliefs and are laughing downstairs right now. I'm at university in the UK currently. God help us all

[@liticianurudeen7960]

What happened? I'm currently at uni in uk too. Remember that Jesus was ridiculed too including with his relatives. This is a blessing as it says in the bible: bless are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is in the kingdom of heaven Matt 5:10-12

[@EmilyRyann]

Just found your channel & I can totally relate! Love that you’re shining a light for Jesus.✨

[@Ashley_Joice]

To tell you the truth... Me too.. I just watch other Christian KZbinrs... Rather than watching Netflix or something.. cause I also feel it's not bringing me close to god like that...

[@rinroyal5610]

I'm experiencing all the things you are as far as struggles go, I didn't even realize others went through the same, so thanks for sharing. But, you are right a big one I'm struggling with is the entertainment in the world that seems so normal, and filtering it making sure that what I watch or see from now on is something that's not corrupting my spirit. I'll pray for you and your family for your recent loss, I hope everything calms down for you guys soon.

[@BriaBarrows]

It is like being the odd one out. But then you get to inspire ♥️

[@claubit32]

Stay strong, girl! It’s so awesome to see your faith and growth.:)

If you're truly saved there will be the tension you and I feel living in this world but not of it..God is a rewarded of those who diligently seek Him. Stay with the high ground sister..God will bless. Prayers

This is so good because it is soooooo relatable!!!! God wants us as His children to be honest and be encouraging/building each other up through our daily walks living in Holiness.

[@johnnyrichards2707]

Me and my girlfriend decided to watch a couple of Christian videos today as a part of "our daily bread." We selected you. After viewing, I can say your are very honest and perceptive on the issues you talked about. We are struggling with the same issues and we are in our 50's. The resistance you feel in each of these subjects, is none other than Satan, doing his best to discourage you and every other Christian. Regardless of our struggles, if we will hang on to Jesus, we will get the TKO over Satan at the end of our bout! Prayers to you in your journey and hope to meet with you in Heaven!

[@AS-zc6qz]

Entertainment now a days is hard to find... pure flix is a good one.. also reading books, watching sermons is all feeding your soul. Being a Christian we feel like the“weird”ones but we must endure in this hard world and strengthen ourselves with the love of god. You are never alone. Hugs from far away🤗❤️

[@bfoz]

Just keep being yourself, Kian. We all like you.

[@alonzogonzalez4792]

I know most comments are from women... But as a guy I definitely can relate to your 5 points because I struggle with those things except the reading Bible one, as Christians we should definitely stay in the word of God that way the holy Spirit can help us in every aspect of our walk with God in every aspect of our lives mentally in the heart and most of all spiritually, I CAN DO ALL THINGS THRU CHRIST JESUS WHO STRENGTHENS ME... God bless you and may your walk with the Lord improve always remember that God's timing is perfect 💯💯

thanks for sharing, kian. I struggle with the 1st and 5th point the most I believe. i also struggle with just trusting GOD's timing. i just renew my walk with CHRIST and it's been a bit of a roller coaster but i keep praying that HE will continue to guide my path

[@belengee]

May God continue to help you grow in the faith🌹 This was much needed. Love you

[@VandamPlastics]

Hello Kian, Thank you very much for your videos! It gives so much hope to see other young people who want to live their faith in this extremely challenging world we live in today. I am also struggeling hard to "be in the world" while trying to be Christian, mostly because of being seen as a naive fool. But I know it is such a precious gift to get to know Him and it's "they" who are the poor. I hope you can find a way to deal with your issues and have people on your way that can help you get on with it. I will pray for you. Many blessings

[@giramataarlene7378]

I love youuuu Kian ❤️❤️❤️ As a Christian woman I have learnt a lot from your videos

[@Happysoursop]

I just thank God I came across your channel Kian. 🙂 I know I am doing a lot of things right but sometimes I get lost. I don't care if I am not the person this world wanted me to be I just want to be happy and contented knowing I am pleasing God.

[@shellbell8062]

Thanks for your honesty. The struggles are real! I get sucked into KZbin videos and am then convinced that I should buy new clothes, new makeup, new .... and then get all caught up in the standards and the materialism of the world. I stay away from TV and I am now starting to be convinced that all forms of entertainment are pretty worthless. Perhaps some sports is ok but really my personal experience is that I slowly start sinking into a hole.

I'm a first time subscriber to your channel! My biggest struggle is keeping my faith despite all the daily setbacks & challenges. Like I'm looking for work but haven't had anything from God that's positive at all in this regard so I keep praying knowing Jesus will answer someday

[@faintermite8544]

It does say not to judge people, but you have o remember that it also says to get the log out of you own eye before getting the speck out of someone else’s eye. What I think that means is that deal with your own problems before trying to correct others.

[@essieaku9462]

The serie " The Chosen " is an amazing christian show! It portrays the life of Christ and his disciples in a very fresh relatable and moving way! 😙💕👍🙌

[@ourwholesomehome4967]

I went through most of these when I first became a Christian too. Best thing ever- bring it to the Lord. I prayed for Him to make me crave His word. I literally prayed “Lord put a fire in my soul to crave your Word.” I also love BibleThinker on KZbin, Line of Fire with Dr. Michael Brown, Real Christianity with Dale and Veronica Partridge, Paul And Morgan Show. I also love Oh Hey Truth podcast, Real Christianity podcast We also do a Pureflix subscription. There are corny shows but also good ones. Or we love watching a lot of the fixer upper shows with like Chip and Joanna Gaines- clean and fun. Good luck sister. It’s refreshing to watch your sanctification process and I’m sure an encouragement to MANY! ❤️

Oh my gosh how could I forget- The Bible Project on KZbin is awesome 👍🏻❤️

Thanks for sharing about your struggles it’s better than not making the video and giving into them. Even the strongest of believers have struggles but different ones from person to person.

[@heyrachel2323]

I’m really glad you uploaded this vid! I was able to listen to some of your struggles and reflect on myself and I realized that I am prone to be consistent for a while then fall out for some time. But I am encouraged now to get back to my time with God and set those boundaries so that I stay on a path of consistency🙌🏽 thanks girl

[@patriciaguzman8692]

I completely agree with you, as brothers and sisters we are not supposed to judge each other but the Bible says to exhort and correct each other but also encourage and love. As Christians we should be led by the Holy Spirit and He will nudge us when we are doing wrong and work with us.

[@B.E.R.T.]

I keep telling myself I don’t want to be a hypocrite when it comes to my actions, it’s difficult because I know I need to unlearn sinful things that don’t align with my walk. The struggle is wholeheartedly giving it all up to God. Letting him into the parts of me that are fighting to hold onto those sinful things that I like… that’s what makes me feel like a hypocrite. One example where I overcame this is I was talking to a woman that also claimed to be strong in her Christian faith, yet was sending me leg pictures while she was at Church… 🤦🏻‍♂️ (not nudes btw) but still… trying to tempt me knowing that I’m trying to change my ways. So Instead of taking the bait, I ended all talks with her. I saw it as a test. That’s all I can do now, is view everything as a test of my faith. Anyways, I’m done yapping. Great video~

[@pauladavis1122]

Easily one of my favorite videos on your channel

[@tingowealeans5712]

I know this video is a year old so your understanding may have changed but to clarify in case not (/for others reading) re: 8:55 'says in the bible we're not supposed to judge others' this is a common misunderstanding. The point of the passage re: log/eye etc. is re: hypocricy, not mere judgement. In contrast to the misconeived 'never ever judge someone' understanding of the passge, we actually use judgement to discern and distinquish between good and evil (among other things) every day. The point in the passage was 'if you're still engaging in this sin, you have no right to criticise others for engaging in it also.' If you're not engaged in the sin that the person you're judging is, you do in fact have every right to judge them. I would agree in some instances it may be inappropriate to do it over the internet on youtube video comments, but by contrast, depending on the specifics, it really might not be. You yourself go on to tacitly imply judgement may be appropriate providing certain conditions are met (you say 9:22 it's not our place to criticise each other as strangers on the internet if a) we don't know each other, b) what each other lives like and c) what our actions are on the daily, implying that if we did know these things, we would by contrast have every right to judge). And if you're mind moves to thinking of 'without sin/cast first stone,' from my surface understanding this is has nothing to do with judgement (identifying the sin and holding the sinner to account - the woman is still referred to as being caught in adultery, after all) rather than the punishment (stoning). Just wanted to set out for clarity, otherwise very much enjoyed videos I've seen of yours so far.

[@redlove3490]

The Chosen is a good Christian show.

[@raulnsherah]

I agree with a lot you said. Disagree with judging. We are to judge through discernment and in love. If a fellow Christian endorses sinful activities, you are commanded to rebuke them, but with gentleness and kindness. The problem is, a lot of Christians don’t know how to rebuke without being caustic or mean. Not to say that they may not hurt feelings or make a person uncomfortable though. Christians who avoid uncomfortable conversations are complicit in the world’s sin

[@ProphetessDeborah1986]

As being a child of God this is your personal testimony as to what you have experienced on your journey with God. Oh dear other people who called themselves Christian judge you like that you have your own unique amd personal story to tell ...its not their place to judge you. Their ways are not His ways only God and God alone will finish the work he has began in you. So sorry to hear what you have been through...Keep the faith and the courage God bless you!

[@brittanynicole9318]

I love your honesty! I struggle with most of these as well. 😔

[@SamanthaRuiz]

you are wonderful and have such a gentle inviting spirit. loved this video and agree with everything you mentioned!

[@goober2964]

Christians are told to correct other brothers and sisters in Christ- that is not judging. If a sister or brother is doing sin, we are to correct them. Judging is a whole another situation. Judging is basing on uncertainties. However, it is not judging if you just lied to me. Or if you blasphemy around me. Or if I saw you steal something. Anything you were factually caught in the act is not judging.

[@Kian_Wolfgang]

Goober yes and people watching a video is basing a lot on uncertainty as they don’t know all the details of a person or situation. That’s my opinion at least.

[@goober2964]

@@Kian_Wolfgang I understand your opinion. Maybe your video contained facts rather vocally or visually while other parts of the video contained uncertainties. It takes time to adjust as we grow in faith. If you know your older videos are getting plenty of criticism because it was your old self, maybe consider deleting that video completely. It isn't the new you and that old you is promoting what may contain factual sinful nature if any (I didn't see most of your videos). Anything that causes another one to stumble with sin, we shouldn't do it.

[@carolynpumanes6428]

ur testimony is inspiring. we are all imperfect.

[@kathybuckley2338]

Struggling at the moment, 3yrs a Christian....16mths in my job, really hard listening to the 'banter', foul language, swearing etc....I've asked to be moved to a different shift...( well they asked someone to volunteer to go over to opposite shift)....So I did. Will probably be greeted with same mentality....how do I switch off my hearing. Very discouraged at the moment. Xx

[@RejoiceTanatswa]

I have struggled with correcting my friends because each time you do that, you are either considered judge-mental Or holier than thou but more so because you are after all human and have shortcomings, the devil will constantly remind you that who are you to correct them, it’s not like you are perfect. Therefore I often lived a condescending life and in fear, God’s been helping me to realize that He doesn’t use me or love me because I am perfect, He loves my brokenness and thus my weaknesses should never let me agree to what is not right or live anyhow.

[@KizNic]

EncourageTV on KZbin is cool for movies. The movie Steps of Faith was also really good (that was on another KZbin Channel though) But yeah I understand that whole thing about finding pure but entertaining shows and movies. And yeah only God can judge us! Wrt the consistency, God sees our hearts. He knows when the deep passion may not be there and when you pray He will give you the grace to go forth and pray one more minute or read one more verse.

[@briannaschatz2960]

You should definitely check out Nate and Sutton's channel and Ray Comfort's channel Living Waters! He is an evangelist and I've learned so much from him in the steps in how to evangelize to others at every possible opportunity!! I have my days, as I'm not perfect, but in general, I've been watching Christian sermons and Christian videos (during meals) like yours on KZbin daily, and I've learned so much! I've also learned that in order to absorb the information, you have to be constantly open to a heart change and for God to intervene in your life. (which is hard)

[@briannaschatz2960]

Oh, also, I'm 18, and I really just love your genuineness! I pray that God would help me to become more genuine; it's definitely something I struggle with as a Christian, because avoiding many common earthly sins is easy for me to do, but it used to be because I saw myself as better than others (pride) around me, creating this chasm that would separate me from good, healthy relationships (which can introduce sin in a way, such as jealousy) with others. But ultimately this pride was a defense mechanism to keep me from my insecurities... which makes the whole situation quite convoluted. I'm slowing learning to be okay with people making fun of me when I am my complete self in public because God's opinion is the only one that matters! You have truly been a blessing in my life, and you don't even know it! Ugh, I literally can't wait to watch your "get healthy with me *realistic*" videos!

Sister Kian, you are spot-on. Pop culture isn't just contrary to God's Word; it's now openly hostile to the Lord and His people. We all struggle with this. Christ really opens our eyes to what is truly beautiful when we follow Him. I've always thought of lust as a form of idolatry, since you are putting your desire for something/someone ahead of Jesus. Two examples: the Bible doesn't say that money is the root of all evil; it says in I Timothy 6:10 that it is the love of money that is evil. Also, we are told in James 4:3 that "you ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions." Let's pray for one another that God would give us strength through Jesus to overcome our struggles! And oh yeah: Pureflix :)

PS: We as Christians should support each other in love, without faultfinding or constant selfish criticism. I've been guilty of this and it is incredibly contrary to our Lord's teaching. "You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye."

Since (South) Korea is the largest Christian country, their Dramas are really safe to watch!

I have been a Christian since I was 17. I have Been waiting for the right person to be in a relationship with..I'm now 23 and I feel like I'm letting my life pass me by..I almost feel like just letting go because I can't find a person who holds the same principles as me.

Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life. Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me. John 12: 25-26

Would you ever consider making a video talking about how to deal with facing a situation where being challanged by an atheist and what to do to not let your faith slip when being encountered by them ?

[@Graceration]

I recommend “The Chosen”. It’s a multi-season show on Jesus’ life and it’s fabulous! No joke. You can buy it in their website or download their free app, “the chosen”, and watch it there

I rarely watch movies and almost never listen to secular music. If there are some songs I listen to that are not written by christians, they are songs that Holy Spirits puts in my heart, and they always give me message of encouragement. Entertainment for me is watching christian videos, like this one, and if I want something really light I will watch christian videos about dating and how people found each other God's way. At the same time I learn a lot. But if I struggle with lust I even let that be and listen to christian videos about other topics. Why I call this entertainment is because we would always rather seek Jesus for our selves. But when I'm tired I watch these videos :) also, there are good christian music out there like Riley Clemmons. I'm glad to hear christians on youtube get closer to God and being convicted by the Holy Spirit. You're on a right track. It can be struggle in the beginning, but getting closer to Jesus is a bigger prize and when we die to self we come alive. Jesus didn't only die, He also rose back to life, and same resurrection power lives in us, so be encouraged!

Hello. Kian, I just love you for your sincerity.

[@sweetpete9696]

Love yr ranting ahaha 😊

[@cherylburnett2014]

I agree that Christians can be very judgmental and that it is not our place to tell others what to do. We don’t save anyone. Jesus does. Our role is to be the light. We should be shining bright-not trying to convict others.

[@tingowealeans5712]

fourth time pasting my comment, again only for clarity (I'm not trying to start an argument or spam) I wanted to make sure you understand that the bible does not outright prohibit us from making 'judgements' in principle (I'm not saying this is your view, but just in case it is, again for clarity's sake and to help you, the comment I made before is as follows): _'I know this video is a year old so your understanding may have changed but to clarify in case not (/for others reading) re: __8:55__ 'says in the bible we're not supposed to judge others' this is a common misunderstanding._ _The point of the passage re: log/eye etc. is re: hypocricy, not mere judgement. In contrast to the misconeived 'never ever judge someone' understanding of the passge, we actually use judgement to discern and distinquish between good and evil every day._ _The point in the passage was 'if you're still engaging in this sin, you have no right to criticise others who are engaged in it also.' If you're not engaged in the sin that the person you're judging is, you do in fact have every right to judge them._ [to add to my original comment also, it is crucial to judge and call out evil and then rebuke in love when we see that someone is self descructing and have the opportunity to 'judge' (identify the sin/form an opinion on someone's actions) and rebuke (seek to correct them/convince them to repent of their sin)] _I would agree in some instances it may be inappropriate to do it over the internet on youtube video comments, but by contrast, depending on the specifics, it really might not be. You yourself go on to tacitly imply judgement may be appropriate providing certain conditions are met (you say __9:22__ it's not our place to criticise each other as strangers on the internet if we don't know each other, what each other lives like, what our actions are on the daily, implying that if we did know these things, we would by contrast have every right to judge)._ _And if you're mind moves to thinking of 'without sin/cast first stone,' from my surface understanding this is has nothing to do with judgement (identifying the sin and holding the sinner to account - the woman is still referred to as being caught in adultery, after all) rather than the punishment (stoning).'_ (edited for italics only)

I went to Next Step and I realized that I want to do missionary studies in University or something, and also become a staff at Next Step. Lately I’ve been listening to Christian music more and praying more often then I would normally do. Problem is that I don’t go to church every Sunday, it’s a on & off thing, but I want to go more often it’s just because I’m known to be extremely lazy and so I can’t ever get up in the morning even if I really want too. I don’t really have to worry about the university and Staff thing because I’m only 12 🤷🏻‍♀️
