What are some things that are without limits?
Things Keep Getting Worse
Question: Over the last 15 years, my luck has been so bad, and it’s just getting worse and worse, especially with regard to health, family and finance. I just can't seem to get back up again…it seems the more I try the worse it gets. I have prayed for help but, got none. I'm seriously contemplating help from the dark side (black magic). I'm that desperate! Any tips for changing my bad luck? The worry is making me ill.
My Reply:
First of all, I'll pray for you.
Second, Trust me on this...you do NOT want to turn to the dark side for help. The Lord won't let you down...keep asking for help, and keep your eyes peeled for His answer. Just because you don’t see Him working, doesn’t mean He isn’t.

Christians' Lack Of Discerning Good from Evil
Question: Why don't Christians have discernment of good and evil any longer? In the end, to the churchgoer, will Jesus say; ''depart from me you sinners, I never got a chance to know you?" Will it be a complete surprise?
My Answer:
I’m a little confused by your question.
In the Old Testament, we often read about God calling His people back to Him. Why? Because though God wanted them to be Holy, or set apart from the other nations, they wanted to mix in and be like the other nations. This soon corrupted their thoughts, behaviors, and even worship.
In Paul's first letter to the Corinthians (as well as all the other churches he wrote to), the outside world's culture was leaking into the Church. They were nobodies before entering the Church, and once they began gaining status, they began behaving as those outside the church.
I have come to notice many Christians today making the same mistakes as both groups mentioned. We're called to be Holy, but so many "Christians" today want to fit in with the world...they don't want to offend anybody with their faith, or exclude anybody, even though the scriptures say that many will be; they begin believing only the parts they want in the Bible; and they no longer see the urgency (or even importance) of the Gospel. And so therefore, they fall away from the Truth, causing them to have difficulties discerning good from evil.
Will Jesus say "depart from me, evildoers, for I never knew you."? Maybe, for Christianity is all about the relationship we have with God through Jesus Christ. If they lost sight of Him and put their focus onto a false god or a false image of Christ, then such is a possibility. (Just because somebody looks like your best friend, doesn't mean they even know who you are).
