What are some things you think you might find inside your closet that need to be thrown away? Please be specific. List any stained items from your past that need to be discarded.
- Double minds - I want God and I also love the world. I trust God's promises but doubt my own faith to receive them; I believe in Jesus Christ but I'm not 100% sure that it is the only way to be saved. I feel that Buddist,infinite intelligience, natural God and Musslin may be ok if they live a decent life such as Edison , Einstein, Gates, and Baffelt. I don't know positive thinkings are more important or reading Bible is more fundamental. A lot of things in Bible I don't understand therefore it is hard to apply in my life. I always want to clean my mind and 100% commit to Bible. But somehow I doubt that Bible is the words of God. I believe that God is better than any figures or descriptions in any religion. But it may hinder my growth spiritually. It's hard to believe that someone you really loved and respected went to the Hell and some so called Christians will go to heaven by some verses in Bible. I truly believe that Bible is inspired by Holy Spirit but it was written by people who are sinners. They may not be able to 100% understand God's messages. I pray God would forgive my doubts and lead me to the ultimate truth.
