How is listening to music disrespecting God? After all, God created music. God wants us to be happy.
Spend a couple of hours this afternoon quietly thinking about God and what He wants for us and I'm sure that will be enough.

Jesus said that the kingdom of God is within you. I think He was saying that you have to be true to both yourself and to God. If you feel like you're being led to worship God, you should do it-- but you should do it because you want to, not for some exterior reason.
The word translated 'sin' in the KJV really means "missing the mark." Everybody has missed the mark and fallen short of God's plan for us on occasion. That doesn't make you a bad person-- it makes you human, which is what God created you to be.
Have you ever considered telling God how you feel? I've found that when I truly and sincerely open my heart to God, and when I confidently expect some type of answer, I usually receive what I'm looking for. I'm not saying that you should ask for a new Beamer or to win the lottery and expect to have these material desires gratified, but God seems to be pretty generous with the things of the Spirit when we truly open ourselves to its influence.
Blessed be!

Jesus said where 2 or 3 are gather in my name there I will be in their midst. Where 2 are in agreement touching any in the earth, and ask the Father, who is in heaven, he will do it for them.
He sent them out 2 by 2 to preach.
Tell my servant David, thou shall not build me a house to dwell in.
Destroy this temple and in 3 days I will raise it up.
Jesus is the head for the Spiritual Church and the Holy Ghost is it pastor, but God the Father who art in heaven, is it's founder.
You don't need a physical church to praise God, God comes to your house, to seek worship by you, in spirit and in truth.
Your boyfriend and you make up the spiritual church, you have all that is required, to call upon the Father, Jesus and the Holy Ghost.

Feeling Bad or guilty is the instrument of the devil- it gets people crazy!
Craziness is doing the same things over and over, hoping for a different result.
Stop doing what you keep doing! Don't feel bad but be convicted and repent.
Repent is just a Greek word meaning "turning around 180 degrees." And live a life of conviction- learn, change and grow.

there is no good or bad in this universe! would u say god is bad, because of tsunami??? would u say he is good because he is seated at a church/temple/mosque.... waiting for u??? it depends on what u feel on the inside at that moment! just go ahead if u really feel like going to the church..., or don't if u have other things taking precedence! don't feel guilty where u are not wrong!

If you feel like you are doing something wrong, then for you you are. I don't think how much you listen to music annoys God, but if you think it gets in the way of your relationship with him, or somehow leads you to sin, then for you it is wrong. If you feel compelled to go to church every week, then for you you should go to church every week. I think Romans 10 or 11 talks about this, about how what is clean food to one person might not be clean to another, so to them they have unique dietary laws. Even if something was clean in God's sight, if someone at it thinking it was unclean then they are going something wrong in their heart. Betraying themselves, if you will. Same thing with certain days, one may like to set a certain day aside, others may want to set another day, or every day, aside for God.

Know this God is with you always. and everywhere he is.
you wanted to go see your bf, as long as you dont love your bf more then God its fine.
Jesus said that the church is in the heart not in a building.
Jesus only authrized the building church so that all christians may gather in one place you dont have to, as long as your hearty is in the church withion the heart

I know how you feel, I do stuff like that too.... In my opinion I think it's ok to spend time with your boyfriend and also have time for god, but im in a Much worse situation.... Im 15 & I gave my virginity to my boyfriend thinking that he was a virgin too... well when he broke up with me he said that he'd screwed 5 girls before me.... I loved him & that really hurt me because I wanted to marry him. Now I feel so sinful & I dont know wat to do now. You'll be fine though... Email me anytime at:

I wouldn't if I were you. IF your god exists, which I personally doubt, I'm sure it would have much better things to do that get in a huff about a bit of music.
