What does discipline from the Lord look like? - Tim Conway

[@bobbyrice2858]

I can confirm Tim’s statement of idolatry. Once I became a believer I lost all love for the things that filled my life with joy before Christ. I was a nerd, I loved loved loved science-fiction, Star Wars, Star Trek, I loved the nerdy aspects of it. I never expected my love and joy for those things to just completely vanish. Sure I’ll still watch them but i’m not quick to the trigger of the remote control to turn on the TV to watch it. Sometimes I go weeks if not months not realizing that something had aired. My life is daily consumed with scripture and reading about God and reading about what Jesus did and his commandments. I love watching him. Though I think he’s a little scary sometimes with those crazy eyes lol. Before Christ, I derived a certain dopamine released joy from watching the shows. When I was a kid they were an escape from the mandates of church from a father that was a preacher. Today even while watching. It’s as benign as a cricket hopping across the street.

I get you. I had a lot of passions in my life before Christ, but when Jesus came in my desires changed. Even after conversion, in moments where I wandered away and disobeyed the Lord, when I sought to escape reality through these pleasures, He didn't let me for too long. I remember laying down and just feeling miserable. But now I recognize His mercy in all of it. Even today, the Lord doesn't give me that which He knows would draws me away from Him, that I may make of Him my refuge.

[@bobbyrice2858]

@@haniel_cm “feeling miserable”. Man. Yes. With my sin, lust came to ahead where i was at a cliff edge. Submission was life or death. I had to take MASSIVE action against it. Covenant eyes. Excellent app. Monitors your device activities and puts all of the viewing you do on these devices in front of other people. It’s an excellent deterrent. Some sin just requires self effort. If we don’t, the very validity of one’s salvation would be in question I think.

It's really a shame that good teaching like this only gets 8,778 hits in just under 4 years on KZbin, and false teachers get millions of hits practically instantaneously. It just goes to show you how lost we really are...I praise God for saving me and that I am confident of my salvation in Jesus. I am ready for what He has for me. Thank you Jesus!!! And thank God for Tim Conway and Paul Washer and John MacArthur and John Piper, these are good truth teachers! Do you know of any others?

[@zachturgeon8530]

It goes to show that the folks at KZbin don’t want real biblical teaching to be spread in the same manner as false teaching because they are evil.

LOVE is chastisement, rebuke, correction, affliction, brokenness, REAL TIME judgements as well as mercy, grace, faith, compassion! Good video! 1st and 2nd world nations NEED A GOOD DOSE OF THE TOUGH LOVE of GOD! You can't have only HAVE of the CHARACTER of GOD are REALLY KNOW HIM! Grace THEN Peace

[@elavaney]

Good answer to a tough question. It's nice to finally hear a few pastors admit that if a person turns away from God in a time of trial, chances are that person isn't saved. I know that's a hard saying and offends a lot of people, but it's about time we acknowledge that God sanctifies those He calls, and we are to be producing fruit.

@RalphGalloza You've made a grave error in quoting "The Lord's Prayer." Here is the correct quote: Matthew 6:13 And LEAD US NOT INTO temptation, but deliver us from evil; "Lead us not into," not "deliver me not from." James 1:13Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. 14But each one is tempted when he is drawn away BY HIS OWN desires and enticed. God does not "deliver" anyone to satan. We deliver ourselves

I had a period of my life where lust and self pleasure was something that I just could not stop. I kept thinking “God will forgive me” and using his grace as a crutch to sin when I felt tempted. Well, my whole genitals and groin went completely numb one day as a reaction from a prescription medication when I was deep in my sin, and I lost all sexual feeling in that region.

So God is diciplining me as His SON - to put me through hell the last 2 years of things that i had NO control over?

Don`t be weary? What about people with chronicle illnesses? What about a person who has been struggling for 20 or 25 years? Huh? What positive results could yield from this type of God`s punishment?

[@brianmessinger3984]

if jesus died for our sins and he bore the punishment----then why does he punish us for sins? pl anwser

[@Gokujr768]

the lord didn't die for our sin just so that we can go on sinning, those who are his have been purchased at a price. the lord died for us and took our punishment of sin so that God could forgive those who come to him by way and the only way which is Christ. but to do that you cannot keep loving your sin Jesus didn't die on that cross so that people could get saved and then run off into more of their sin and justify it by saying "he died for us so we can sin as much as we want and not get punished for it, because after all he love me just the way I am and he took the punishment for me" that's not how it works. if we are saved and we go back to our sin like masturbation for instance then he will punish us for it so that we might take the hint and be done with it and keep growing in Christ there is more but I hope this much helped

This guy's one of the best arguments for atheism I've seen. When rational and thoughtful people witness the spectacle of extreme fundamentalists like this they become turned off (even repulsed) by Christianity. Lunatic fringe religious zealots (Islam included) are significant reasons for the rapid growth of atheists.
