Christian Repentance Challenge [Inactive thread]

Calling all Christians!

Every one of us has been called to turn our backs to sin, and to love the Lord our God with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength. I want to make a league of Brothers that stand together to flee the desires of the flesh.

In this “Challenge,” the task is pretty simple - To flee lustful sin and replace it with something meaningful in life. I do not want this to be a competition between who has the highest streak. I want this to be a group of brothers that share

  • Goals
  • Experiences
  • Spiritual motivation
  • Prayers
  • SETBACKS

Yes, setbacks included. It’s not something to be hidden, for many of us are aware that if we hide our weaknesses, they control us further. If you tell what went wrong, and others can learn from it or give guidance on how to avoid it better in the future

We all need and Ally, and I believe we can make a strong group that watches each other’s backs.

To join, simply introduce yourself however you’d like. Maybe state what you will put in your life to replace this sin with!

THERE IS ONE RULE
“Love one another as I have loved you.” John 13:34

I fully expect to have multiple denominations present, and I would love to see people express their practices, but I don’t want it to be divisive.

Scripture
1 John 2:16 - For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world.

Galatians 5:16 - But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.

Colossians 3:5 - Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.

1 Peter 5:8 - Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.

2 Timothy 2:22 - So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.

1 Corinthians 6:18 - Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body.

Proverbs 6:25 - Do not desire her beauty in your heart, and do not let her capture you with her eyelashes;

1 Peter 2:11 - Beloved, I urge you as sojourners and exiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh, which wage war against your soul.

I have had a setback that really bothered me for a long time, but for the past 6 months I have overcome this setback. Now my setback is my imagination.

Hello everyone!

My actual name is Devin, I am 23 years old, male, and I am a Catholic. I have been diving into my faith heavily since about 4 months ago.

Unfortunately, the one roadblock has been lust, and I have not been able to master my urges. I’ve been “trying” to quit for the last few years, but after the short term motivation fades, I go back down the hole. I’ve heard countless times that I need an ally, but I have not listened to my heart to make me do it. So, I finally decided to return to my favorite forum so far to start something.

I have never lead a thread before, so feel free to give me advice on how to improve this! I think an easy check in would be to state
*Daily goal completion (fitness, study, meditation, prayer, etc).
*Any scripture readings you read
*Any additional inspiration you may have

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I just haven’t seen the benefit of counting days, so I don’t want to do the traditional day count for a check in. Also, is a sharing code required?

Okay when you make the new thread make 4 after the first post with this sentence used for future posts with numbers 1,2,3,4. Tag debellator

As soon as you start the new thread I will rename this one so that it doesn’t conflict.

Ok I will remake it now before going to bed quick.
