This page shows all of my posts I’ve written. You can also see my posts in the “Blog Archives” which is on the right hand side panel. On this page, I put all the blog posts into a few general categories. These 9 categories below are different than the categories that are tagged in the blog posts, of which there are around 45. On this page I wanted to organize the posts differently so that the most important posts can be seen more easily. In each category, I’ve put the posts I think are most important in bold.

    I’ve tryed and failed so many times, I don’t even know if I’m really a Christian, since I find no victory and continue to sin.

      Mark, thank you for commenting. It sounds like you are stuck in a repetitive spiral of failure followed by trying again and failing again. It is deeply frustrating and many people have been there.

      Many times I have found that people (even me) delude themselves into thinking they are trying, but really aren’t. It sounds harsh, but let me explain. We think trying means to just hope we will do better next time and not give in to the desire when it comes, but in reality we are doing nothing to change our situation. We have not fully surrendered everything in our lives to Christ, and we have not truly made the radical decision to follow Christ instead of our sin.

      Test yourself, I’m not going to judge you. I don’t know you. Have you fully surrendered? Have you made radical steps to fight this and overcome? https://healingfromcrossdressing.org/no-more-half-measures/

      As to where you are a Christian or not. It’s simple but not simple. It’s simple in that if you have trusted in Christ, you are saved. We are saved by grace, not by our good deeds, not by our effort, not by our righteousness! Even if you are not perfect and still have failures. Christ died for you, and he lived for you to give you his perfect righteousness. So we can be at peace before God. But it’s not so simple in the sense that the Bible teaches that those who are truly born again will produce good fruit and not live in sin. It’s hard to define “living in sin.” But I generally understand it this way. A true Christian continues to grow more holy, even if slowly, even if still having failures and setbacks. A true Christian always confesses and repents after failures, but then keeps on fighting against sin. A person claiming to be a Christian but isn’t is someone living in sin, not really fighting it, not confessing or repenting. Just staying in it.
